Hollywood Hills

The Hollywood Hills straddles the Cahuenga Pass within the Santa Monica Mountains.

The neighborhood touches Studio City, Universal City, and Burbank on the north, Griffith Park on the north and east, Los Feliz on the southeast, Hollywood on the south, and Hollywood Hills West on the west. It includes Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Mount Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery, the Hollywood Reservoir, the Hollywood Sign, the Hollywood Bowl, and the John Anson Ford Theater.

The bedrock of the Hills is a complex association of granitic and metamorphic rock plus interbedded sandstone and shale on which brown loamy soil, often shallow and with abundant stones, has developed.
