West Hollywood (WeHo) is one of the most vibrant, progressive, and culturally electric cities in the Los Angeles region. Incorporated as an independent city in 1984 — partly driven by LGBTQ+ community organizing — WeHo is 1.9 square miles of extraordinary energy. The Sunset Strip defines its northern edge with its iconic music venues, clubs, and hotels. Santa Monica Boulevard is the social and cultural spine of the LGBTQ+ community. Melrose Avenue draws fashion-forward shoppers and design lovers. West Hollywood punches far above its size in terms of cultural influence, dining quality, nightlife, design, and sheer livability. It is one of the most walkable cities in Southern California.

West Hollywood is primarily a condominium and townhome market, with some single-family homes.

• Median Home Price: ~$1.2M (condo/townhome); $3M+ (single-family)
• Price Range: $600K (studios/1BR condos) – $10M+ (single-family homes)
• Property Types: Luxury condos, townhomes, single-family craftsman and Spanish homes, Art Deco buildings
• Market Character: Very strong; low vacancy; high rental demand; investment-friendly

West Hollywood is the city of self-expression. A majority of residents are LGBTQ+, and the city has a strong, visible, and thriving queer culture that draws people from across the country and world. It’s also home to the entertainment industry’s creative class — stylists, directors, photographers, designers — who prize the walkability, dining, and social scene.
