Whitley Heights Neighborhood
Home prices in the Whitley Heights Historic District are pricier when compared to the L.A. County average. The housing stock in the neighborhood consists of single-family residences and luxury homes. A few condominiums dot the neighborhood's borders.
Hobart Johnstone Whitley bought the land between 1901 and 1903 and later commissioned architect Arthur Barnes to visit Italy and research Mediterranean design and landscaping. Upon Mr. Barnes' return to Los Angeles, he designed many of the houses in Whitley Heights that were built between 1918 and 1928. The architectural style of the earliest homes was Mediterranean.
While the neighborhood is full of Mediterranean Revival homes, other architectural styles appeared in the enclave over the ensuing decades such as Spanish Colonial Revival, Modern, Traditional, and Contemporary.
About 20% of Whitley Heights sits north of the 101 Freeway. In 1940, the construction of the Hollywood Freeway (“The 101”) split the neighborhood in two. What’s more, to make room for the freeway, forty-nine houses were razed including homes once owned by Rudolph Valentino and Charlie Chaplin.
