Beautiful houses. Beautiful scenery. Appalling road surfaces.

[@Omwvlog]

lol couldn't agree more!

[@eventtrading]

I cannot decide what I like more? The Architecture or the Flora. It's stunning beyond words, that's why this place rocks around the world.

[@Omwvlog]

Ooo thats a hard one. Can't decide either!

[@deptfordpink]

Omg this is not what I imagined. Lots of houses crammed together, rough roads. No pavements to walk on. Bins out everywhere. Not very pretty. The one saving grace would be the lush trees, shrubbery & flowers. Fasinating watch thank you ❤

[@Omwvlog]

Yah it is a bit a surprise. Beverly Hills and Bel Air are maintained much better. Thanks for watching!

[@NurseOasis]

Exactly, the landscape is the most appealing.

[@CuriousRose]

I love these hillls. We rented a home on Pelham Place in 2017. I didn’t want to leave. It truly was paradise. Happy New Year

Oh nice! Doesn't time fly? 2017 feels like it was yesterday! Glad you enjoyed the video. Happy New Year!

[@whiteorchid5412]

As a southern CA native who has lived in LA over 40 years I can attest in addition to the natural beauty there is an amazing amount of history of the famous and infamous actors, musicians, comedians etc. around every corner in these homes.

Couldn't agree more! Would be cool to here about them all. Thanks for watching

Thank you for a great walk through the Hollywood hills! I hope the next walk through the Hollywood hills won’t be long in coming)) judging by the comments, it seems that the whole viewer is interested in the views, if possible, slow down for beautiful views!)) and as an option, you can try shooting with a 360 camera, as long as it doesn’t compromise the image quality;)🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I would not live in a place like that. Parking on the street up against a hill. No yard….I don’t understand it.

[@Omwvlog]

It's crazy to see up on these hills a Bentley or Ferrari parked on the street collecting dust like it was any other regular car.

[@DeflatingAtheism]

3:42 - There was a huge mudslide on this road a few years ago, unsurprisingly.

[@Omwvlog]

I can believe that! Hopefully there wasn't any property damages

[@cjsmith8319]

Honestly, this was the ONLY reason I have gone to LA. I wanted to go so that I can see the beautiful houses. It inspires me to go back home and work my tail off.

[@Omwvlog]

[@uptone12111]

You needed a camera out of the side window too so that we could see the houses better! :)

[@Omwvlog]

I've really been thinking about that!

[@richardsanty9063]

It shocks me that the wealthy don't demand that those streets get repaved. if I lived in that neighborhood I would demand the repaving of those roads. Beautiful neighborhood, but I would rather live in Beverly Hills. I can't afford anything anywhere in California.

[@mrbrown7224]

It adds character to the area

The streets are very narrow & very untidy for an area with high real estate values? 🧐

[@Kuulei265]

Reading a lot of comments saying how “privileged” these people are. The grass looks greener over the fence, but they are probably paying for it to look that way. I saw a lot of older homes, among upgraded homes. How about their water bill, or real property taxes? There’s always something we don’t see. You have to continue to have a high level income to live like this.

[@livannal.t.9068]

and having a high level income is privileged. its not a problem or issue to have the privilege to live in a nice neighborhood. I only hope people come to know that theyre not cut off from living their dream lives as well.

[@sarahpurnell8066]

Thanks for letting me see something that I will never see in person ,it reminds me of Greece or Spain ,it’s very interesting to see how these rich people live . If I had their sort of money this is not the place I would live , too much building works going on scaffolding ,screening ,traffic cones ,ugly fencing and those blue ugly bins everywhere ? Hide them away in a recess or hedge . There are some exquisite homes but just built on top of each other .

[@Omwvlog]

Ooo Greece is on my list of places to visit. Would love to go back to Spain! Yah they need to do something about the bins. They really are everywhere. Thanks for watching!

[@anastasiae.5338]

So these people find jobs that make them millions of dollars, and choose to live right on top of each other. I've driven in the Hollywood Hills a few times, and am amazed that people with tons of money are okay with these living conditions. The streets are unreasonably tiny, a lot of the houses are built on a slant, there's no way really to go out and walk the neighborhood unless you want to be put in danger. I have never seen a single famous person in Hollywood outside of performing. I don't know where they hide. I'd expect to maybe once see one taking out their trash or walking. Never happened. The only people I ever see are construction workers and regular older people. I'm surprised you managed to accidentally catch two guys under the age of 70 on your drive.

[@Omwvlog]

The streets definitely need to be better maintained and seems like theres been some issues with mudslides from the current rainstorms with some of the homes on the hills. I've seen celebrities randomly, but not often in LA. Thanks for watching!

[@antoniahamilton3201]

Looks are deceiving in the Hollywood Hills. Most of those houses that look like they're one level on the front of the street are likely to be three levels when viewed from the rear. Being that they are so close to the street, they are intentionally designed to be private and guarded. . Most have great panoramic views that compensate. Often, the view can be spellbinding. Some homes are likely to have a swimming pool on the bottom level.
