About the Neighborhood
North Hollywood is a district in the San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles, California. Today, North Hollywood is being transformed from a relatively lower-middle class suburb into a regional center, in large part as a result of the construction of Metro Stations for the Red Line and the Orange Line, two lines that have made the city into a regional hub for the San Fernando Valley. Medium- and high-density developments are being built around the Metro Station, particularly in the NoHo Arts District, with the intent of creating a walkable urban village. North Hollywood's landscape has been transformed in recent years, with condominium towers (including a 15-story building on Lankershim Blvd) being built in the midst of older one-story bungalows and small apartment complexes.
- It is home to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
- Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery is located in the area, and is notable for its special section memorializing aviators.
- The new MTA Orange Line is now open, running from North Hollywood to Woodland Hills. The MTA Red Line also connects North Hollywood to Hollywood, Wilshire, and Downtown Los Angeles.
