Wonderland of Styles
Elegant midcentury modern architecture stands side by side dramatic Spanish Colonial Revivals. Business magnates and Hollywood stars like Carole Lombard and Clark Gable gravitated here to enjoy sunny days and starry nights, as they reveled in the privacy of charming homes and luxurious resorts which grace this neighborhood.

Everything within reach: lavish inns, stately churches, lively nightclubs, shops and restaurants. See how architects left their imprint with stylish structures from each era which continue to flourish today. Post WWII injected fun and glamour on these blocks, a vibe current hipsters mirror.
