Only a select handful of regions in Los Angeles offer us the kind of spectacular, jetliner views normalIy reserved for our winged friends in the sky. The Bird Streets, named for its abundance of avian-themed streets, is one such place that continues to command a premium price per square foot, and rightfully so, based on demand alone. Tucked away in the Hollywood Hills and overlooking Sunset Strip, this enclave of only a few hundred properties continues to attract the Hollywood elite looking for unparalleled privacy, stunning views of the Los Angeles Basin and skyline, and beautiful architectural estates.
Tobey McGuire, Leonardo DiCaprio, True Grit producer Megan Ellison and Gateway Inc. co-founder Ted Waitt are among the long list of A-Listers, power players and tech execs who call the Bird Streets their home. The neighborhood also famously provided the setting for the late Beatles guitarist George Harrison, who wrote the iconic song “The Blue Jay Way” after the street he lived on.
Here are two homes currently available in the Bird Streets.
