WEST HOLLYWOOD: THE DEFINITION OF HIP

West Hollywood isn’t just the geographic center of Greater Los Angeles, it’s also the beating heart of its cultural cachet. Nowhere is this more apparent than the iconic Sunset Strip, where rock clubs, fashion boutiques, cocktail lounges, comedy bars, and art galleries comfortably sit side by side.

This embrace of the eclectic is why WeHo, as locals call it, is often considered the hippest part of town. It’s the nerve center of LA’s vibrant LGBTQ scene. Its annual Halloween Carnaval is said to have inspired Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” It’s a place where vegans, pet lovers, CrossFit athletes, design enthusiasts, and everyone in between will feel right at home.

How West Hollywood packs so much character into just 1.9 square miles is something of a miracle. One thing’s for sure, though: there’s never a boring day in “The Creative City.”

FAST FACTS ABOUT WEST HOLLYWOOD

Despite its small size, West Hollywood boasts a population of almost 35,000 people – a testament to its popularity. Niche.com gives the city an “A” rating, citing its diversity and nightlife as strong points. It also received a walkability rating of 87/100 from WalkScore.com.
