Fodor's Review:
Highland Avenue marks the western perimeter of the neighborhood called Hancock Park (which is east of the park of the same name, home of LACMA and the La Brea Tar Pits). In the 1920s, wealthy families came here to build English Tudor-style homes with East Coast landscaping that defied local climate and history. Today Hancock Park is a quiet, relatively suburban neighborhood whose residents frequently venture out to the Larchmont Village shopping district to browse a collection of bookstores, antiques shops, and a Saturday farmers' market. Neighbors are still up in arms about the "House of Davids" (304 S. Muirfield, at 3rd St.), whose owner has installed 18 white statues of Michaelangelo's David around his circular driveway.
