Once the most exclusive residential community in the city, this area was developed by Captain G. Allan Hancock around 1910. His father, Henry Hancock, owned the entire Rancho La Brea area and ran it as a farm until 1905, when Edward Doheny struck oil
shoveling into a hillside. The Hancock family then jumped in on the oil craze, which was quickly exhausted, but which also led to the discovery of the La Brea Tar Pits. This neighborhood is made up of private homes, and is one of the most desirable communities in the country. A community of very upscale, traditional homes. From the more moderately priced bungalows in Larchmont Village to larger two story properties up to estate homes on up to an acre of land.
Prices range from $850,000 to $4.2 million, with square footage from 3,000 to 15,000 and proportionate lot sizes. Some smaller homes go for mid-$200,000.
