The Sunset Strip
is the name given to the
mile-and-a-half (2.4 km) stretch of
Sunset Boulevard that passes through
West Hollywood, California. It
extends from West Hollywood's
eastern border with Hollywood at
Harper Avenue, to its western border
with Beverly Hills at Sierra Drive.
The Strip is probably the best-known
portion of Sunset, embracing a
premier collection of boutiques,
restaurants, rock clubs, and
nightclubs that are on the cutting
edge of the entertainment industry.
It is also known for its trademark
array of huge, colorful billboards
and has developed a notoriety as a
hangout for rock stars, movie stars
and other entertainers.
Today the Strip
contains some of the most exclusive
condominium complexes on the West
Coast. However, the most coveted
residences in Los Angeles are in the
celebrity-studded hills above the
Sunset Strip. The highest
concentration of celebrities living
in Los Angeles are in this part of
the Hollywood Hills, located just
above Sunset Boulevard, from Kings
Road, to Sunset Plaza Drive, to
Doheny Drive. Homes in this area
generally range from $3–15 million,
providing incomparable privacy and
breathtaking views of the entire Los
Angeles Basin.
Some celebrities
living in the Hollywood Hills above
the Sunset Strip include Christina
Aguilera, Cameron Diaz, Paris
Hilton, Rod Stewart, Tim Gaines,
Leonardo DiCaprio, Megan Mullally,
Keanu Reeves, Robbie Williams, Byron
Allen, Seth MacFarlane, Seth Rogen,
Ryan Phillipe, Buck Henry, Dido,
Jose Eber, Nicky Hilton, Sandra
Bullock, Jeff Goldblum, Jewel, Jimmy
Kimmel, James Franco, Reggie Bush,
