This is a post about one of the most priciest area’s in U.S.A, Holmby Hills is a rich neighborhood which is situated within the district of Westwood in western Los Angeles. The area of Holmby Hils is bordered by the city of Beverly Hills on the east, Wilshire Boulevard on the south, Westwood on the west, and Bel Air on the north. Holmby Hills is divided into two sections north and south by Sunset Boulevard which is the area’s principal thoroughfare. You would know when you had arrived in Holmby Hills, as it is recognized by its unique street lamps. In an effort to decrease traffic in the neighborhood, speed bumps have been installed on several key streets.

There are three areas in Los Angeles, that make up the “Platinum Triangle” they are Holmby Hills, Bel Air, and Beverly Hills. This is where the houses of the United States’ priciest and most exclusive neighborhoods are, “South Mapleton Drive” and “North Carolwood Drive” in Holmby Hills, along with “Nimes Road” and “St. Cloud Road” in Bel Air, are the most prominent and famous residential streets in all of the platinum triangle. Alot of the buildings in Holmby Hills boast panoramic views of the entire Los Angeles Basin. Many high-level entertainment industry executives and entertainers live within this area. Some of them are well known like for example, Interscope Records founder Jimmy Iovine, television producer Aaron Spelling, movie mogul Ray Stark, and Playboy founder Hugh Hefner (whose home is better known as the Playboy Mansion) currently reside or have previously resided in the area. Michael Jackson rented the former home of actor Sean Connery in this area where he was found to have collapsed and died.
So if you ever get the opportunity to visit Los Angeles, you must make sure you see Holmby Hills, Bel Air and Beverly Hils.
Some of this information was provided by Wikipedia. I was looking on the internet and came across a site known as TMZ.com, to my surprise, they have many pictures of Michael Jackson’s home in Holmby Hills, enjoy.
