Laurel Canyon Homes for Sale | Laurel Canyon is known as a peaceful wooded paradise with a funky rock ‘n roll character. The mountainous neighborhood, nestled behind Sunset Boulevard is part of the Hollywood Hills. In the 1920s, the Canyon began attracting celebrities and the Hollywood elite who were looking for a private retreat. By the 50s, Laurel Canyon was home to some of Hollywood’s hippest actors, James Dean, Marlon Brando, Natalie Wood and Dennis Hopper.
By the mid-to-late ’60s and early ’70s, the community became an important American countercultural spot and was home to many famous musicians. Mama Cass, Jim Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Frank Zappa, Neil Young, Carole King, Brian Wilson, Bonnie Raitt and Linda Ronstadt are among the influential musicians that at one time called Laurel Canyon home.
In the Canyon, you will find many styles of cool architecture, from English Tudor, Mediterranean and Cape Cod to small hunting cabins and cottages. During the post-war boom, many mid-century modern homes were built on previously unbuildable lots. During this time Arts & Architecture Magazine created the famous “Case Study Program” and many fine examples of those homes still exist in the Canyon today. These homes exemplified a low profile and an open connection to the land. Indoor/outdoor living, the site, view and direction of the sun informed the shape and structure of these homes. If you embrace the live and let live attitude the community is known for, Laurel Canyon may be a great neighborhood for you. Contact Beyond Shelter to find more Laurel Canyon homes for sale.
