Area Overview

EAST HOLLYWOOD

East Hollywood is central to Los Angeles’ most prominent and thriving employment center, Downtown Los Angeles, which boasts more than 500,000 jobs within a 30-minute drive. Furthermore, the neighborhood of East Hollywood offers a dense concentration of hospitals that drives employment in the area, such as Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center. 

East Hollywood is a commuter-strategic location with proximity to the 101 & 5 Freeways and other transit options. The community has easy access the Metro Red Line Vermont / Santa Monica Station, which operates between Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles. 

Consistent with the greater Los Angeles area, there is a significant affordability gap to homeownership in the East Hollywood neighborhood. As roughly half of the submarket’s owner-occupied housing units are valued above $1,000,000. In recent years the median home price in the area has increased dramatically eluding to the growth of the area, but also the need for substantial renter occupied units.

Along with strong projected population growth in the coming years, increased demand for housing in the submarket will foster substantial rent growth for the foreseeable future, indicating strong market and property performance for years to come. Further supported by dynamic economic base with well-paying jobs, the area has experienced significant growth recently.
