"Where the hip go to live..."
This, not unlike Larchmont is where the hip and upwardly mobile go to live. Ah, Los Feliz! Hillhurst Blvd, specifically from Los Feliz Blvd down to where Sunset and Hollywood Blvd feed into each other. You will feel moderately to mostly safe and all the shops cater to people who can afford to pay outrageous prices for things. Parking is absolutely SPARCE, however. So you must become expert at trolling for spaces, finding valet or walking a bit. It can be done. But once there you will find some very tasty places to eat like The Alcove, Mustard Seed and La Poubelle... it's a perfect destination that has a high and quaint aesthetic appeal with houses tucked all around it.
