======================
Holmby Hills is a neighborhood on the Westside of Los Angeles, California, United States.
The neighborhood was developed in the early twentieth century. With the expansion of Sunset Boulevard, Holmby Hills was split into northern and southern sections, each lying within a different community plan area designated by the City of Los Angeles: The portion south of Sunset Boulevard extends south to Club View Dr and east to Beverly Glen Boulevard and west of the Los Angeles Country Club; it is located within the Westwood Community Plan Area, but certain characteristics such as the absence of sidewalks and the presence of historic street lamps that are unique to Holmby Hills help to distinguish it from the remainder of Westwood. The portion north of Sunset is the area east of Beverly Glen Boulevard and west of the city limits of Beverly Hills, with Greendale Drive and Brooklawn Drive as its northernmost streets.

Please turn on "CC" Closed Captions for information provided. I keep getting bad luck driving on trash collection day 😭

[@poetryfortheheartbyqueenb216]

Funny. I was going to as you about that. I see trash and recycling out A LOT, so you can’t avoid it!🤣

[@niico76]

You may be able to get info on the city website on when trash day is.

[@janetfishwick8887]

I have just returned from Beverly Hills to see my son who lives there. I drove through this stunning area with family members and it was a joy to see these beautiful residences under a Californian blue sky and lush greenery. Unforgettable experience.

[@Omwvlog]

Glad you enjoyed your visit! Beverly Hills is beautiful!

[@foreverme3078]

You don't know how much this means to me. I am poor and disabled. I can't explore like I want to. This is so awesome. Thank you (and wow, the fact that you got Diddy's place in this footage with the reporters there is crazy).

[@marihermosilla485]

Hola...igual me pasa a mi...soy pobre y ver estos videos me encantan y siento que estoy viajando...😊😊😊

[@Omwvlog]

I'm so glad you enjoyed my video! I had originally planned to do the drive the day before. Glad I didn't because that's when Diddy's home got raided and that whole block was closed off. I didn't think there would be reporters. But was pretty cool to drive thru that! Thanks for watching!

[@Omwvlog]

@marihermosaolla485 ¡Me alegra mucho que estés disfrutando el vídeo! ¡Una excelente manera de viajar sin salir de casa! ¡Gracias por ver!

[@xqqqme]

That driveway to the right at 29:27, flanked by the statuary, is the entrance to 355 Carrollwood, which Walt Disney purchased in 1948, He called it his "dream home" and lived there until his death in 1966.

[@IamHzwyfee]

I wonder how many kids were trafficked through there😶

[@laurelaltman6138]

Part of this was my school bus route from home (Cielo Dr) to University High. And later driving to work from Sherman Oaks, down Benedict Canyon or Beverly Glen depending on traffic, through BH to Sunset and Sherbourne (Tower Records location). The traffic got so horrendous over the years we moved to Vegas! This was a fun drive down memory lane. ❤

[@Omwvlog]

Oh nice! Great area! Must have been interesting growing up here. Tower records is now a Supreme store. Vegas must've been a bit of an adjustment! Thanks for watching!

[@dhutch457]

Thank you for providing this very nice drive through Holmby Hills on such a lovely spring day. It is a shame that so many people have to guard their privacy and security behind gates and walls and shrubs. If the rest of the world would be respectful and behave themselves, there would be no need for such barricades and we would surely get to see some beautiful homes.

[@Omwvlog]

Glad you enjoyed the video! I agree with you!

[@SusanLBlish]

A lovely day for a drive and a beautiful area. You can see clearly that spring has arrived with all the green trees. I must say some of those hedges were huge. I'm guessing over 30 feet tall.? As for garbage disposal day.. you don't need to worry.. we all have to deal with it. Thank you for another wonderful drive. GOD bless

[@Omwvlog]

Thank you Susan! It certainly has! It's suppose to rain this weekend tho. You might be right on the height of those hedges! ❤

[@billgreen1861]

Susan, I used to live in Beverly Hills, and I can tell you that the very tall hedges in most cases is not just for privacy it also provides noise reduction just like a barrier from traffic and leaf blower noise. I'm glad I don't live there anymore but, now I, live in a very similar type neighborhood across the country and much quieter.

[@AmbientWalking]

Very big fan of your work on your channel. I will always watch your stuff! It's so great! Thanks so much!!!

[@Omwvlog]

Thank you so much! So glad you're enjoying my videos! ❤

[@ShakespeareCafe]

Breathing the Rarefied Air of Holmby Hills...The best way to get around height restrictions on fences is to install massive hedges to keep the lookie loos out! Imagine how many people make a living out of just trimming those hedges. Some of those mansions have 10-20 compost bins!

[@Omwvlog]

Yah it's crazy the amount of bins I see on trash day! The hedges are so nicely pruned! I bet they're so expensive to manage!

@@Omwvlog Great to hear 😀. Looking forward to more scenic drives!

[@louismcglasson7913]

Thanks for your enjoyable, relaxing videos. Holmby Hills is one of the most beautiful, privileged neighborhoods in the world. It’s so privileged, with celebrities and billionaires residing there, that they prefer to hide behind walls and huge hedges to protect their privacy.

[@Omwvlog]

Couldn't agree more! Thank you!

[@eddieg6436]

Ok, questions…..just off Sunset at 7:27, do you know who’s gigantic house this is being built? Next, just FYI, from 7:32-9:09 on the RIGHT is (I believe) Jay Z and Beyoncés new house, still under construction (they also just paid $200 million for a Malibu house, highest price paid ever in California). Can you confirm? Next question, what’s going on with “The Mapleton Estate” from 10:06-10:26 on the right, it’s on TWO giant lots….is it ever going to be completed?! I believe from 11:07-11:17 on the left was Ellen’s modern looking home, just FYI. Last question, two giant estates near Sunset (Holmby Hills) were recently torn down, have you heard if those lots will be combined? Great video! 👍

[@stankormy5717]

The road is paved with gold there!

[@Omwvlog]

It sure is!

[@JJJBRICE]

I always heard that Holmby Hills was the neighborhood that old time movie star Humphrey Bogart lived with Bacall when he headed the Rat Pack (drinking club) .

[@Omwvlog]

Humphrey Bogart's House is the house/driveway right before all the news reporters at P.Diddy's house at 5:11. They would've been neighbors if they lived on the street at the same time.

[@gerardguida7727]

Isn't that where PDiddy lives?....

[@Omwvlog]

Yes! if you go to 5:11 you will see i pass all the news reporters at P.Diddy's home. I did this video the day after the police raid

[@TAHA_ALNASIRI_UAE]

😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@YouTube-CVA777]

Классное видео! Но почему так мало пешеходных тротуаров? Не планируется, что люди там могут идти пешком? А если захотят сделать пробежку?

[@Omwvlog]

Жители этого района очень замкнуты. Пешеходов и бегунов на этом участке нет. В большинстве домов часто есть крытые спортивные залы. Думаю, по этой причине здесь намеренно не положили тротуары. Спасибо за просмотр!

[@Evgeniy_7705]

Hello. I want to ask you why not all cars in America have front plates, for example, in your video with Tesla and Audi cars? I also wanted to know "Synergy" is the name of the gas station?

[@Omwvlog]

It's normally illegal to not have a front license plate on cars. But I recently heard that if the car doesn't have holes like most Teslas on the front bumper that it isn't a requirement. Not sure if that's true.

[@Evgeniy_7705]

@@Omwvlog Thanks . And "Synergy" is it a company or the name of a gas station?

[@Omwvlog]

I think Synergy is a gas station connected with Exxon.

How do they cut those 20’ hedges?

[@Omwvlog]

[@jcs3330]

Putting aside the real estate cost to live here, I do understand for those who can afford to live in the hills do. I have lived both on the spanish coast (mountain/hill location) and UK London /Country locations). I always avoid the so called 'front line' homes..just to be able to be on the outside of all the 'noise and crap' it attracts (and travel into it if I want/need to). Never understood the race for front-line properties. Perhaps it's just to say 'I Iive front line!".

[@Omwvlog]

Can you explain what "front line properties" means? I've never heard this before. I'm assuming it just means expensive? Spanish coast sounds amazing to be living at! Thanks for watching

[@jcs3330]

@@Omwvlog "Front line property" the first row of properties lining the cost etc...opposed to those that sit behind those properties.

[@mikekenneally5466]

it's beautiful, but why are there no footpaths?

[@Omwvlog]

I think it's done on purpose. Especially in this area. The overly affluent residents don't want the normal public to be walking or coming into their area. There are security cameras every where. The only people I visually see on these streets are the construction workers or landscapers/gardeners. Thanks for watching!

Hi Omv, Wonderfull time trolling around with you in that rich place. It's true, wealth dwell among the clean, order, scent, isn't? abundance cannot mingle with filth , dirt and untidy , disorder. Omv, I wonder why most of poor worship God and most of rich don't. what do you think about that? I notice as always, few people walk the street. It's like a ghost town. People are mostly live indoor. Love driving with you fast and fierce drive.
