1846 — 1896 El Cerrito Pl · Hollywood Hills

Breathe again
in the Hollywood Hills.

A treasured 26-unit apartment complex tucked into the quiet of the hills — two minutes from Hollywood Boulevard, a world away from the noise.

Our Apartment Complex

You'll feel right at home.

El Cerrito means "little hill" — the perfect bridge between Hollywood Boulevard and the quiet canyons above it. Two 1940s European-style buildings, twenty-six unique homes, decades of stories, and a manager who actually picks up the phone.

What our tenants say

Loved by tenants who've made El Cerrito home.

The silence, the morning light through the palms, the slow coffee on the porch — it's the kind of peace you don't expect to find a block from Hollywood Blvd.

Tenants since 2021
Owner-managed actually means owner-managed. Things get fixed. People say hello. It feels like a real neighborhood again.
Julia T.
Tenant since 2019
I moved in for the location and stayed for the courtyard. Bougainvillea and birds in the morning, sunset over the hills at night. Try beating that.
