Zip code 90004, Mar 2026 to May 2026, from the Redfin Data Center. 90004 also includes smaller homes and condos in nearby areas, so Hancock Park's own house prices typically run well above these figures. Zip codes don't line up neatly with neighborhood borders, and medians hide a wide range of homes, so treat these as a rough feel for the area.
In 1921 developers Julius La Bonte and Charles Ramson bought lots on Larchmont Boulevard to build a shopping street of about 30 stores along the streetcar line that ran up its center. The trolley is long gone, but the low 1920s storefronts still serve as the village center for Hancock Park and Windsor Square.
The homes
Hancock Park was laid out in the 1920s, and it still looks the part: big Tudor Revival, English, Spanish Colonial, Georgian and Mediterranean homes set back behind deep lawns, on wide, flat streets shaded by mature trees. Many homes have guest houses, pools and detached garages off the back. Front yards are open, without tall walls or fences, which gives the streets their park-like look.
Neighboring Windsor Square and Larchmont have a similar look at a range of sizes, and the surrounding blocks add 1920s duplexes, Spanish courtyard buildings and condos.
The feel
- Larchmont Village, a few blocks of Larchmont Boulevard, has cafes, restaurants, a bookstore and boutiques, plus a farmers market on Sunday mornings.
- Wilshire Country Club runs through the middle of the neighborhood.
- The streets are a big part of the appeal. Wide parkways, old trees and the 1920s architecture make for one of the most handsome drives in the city.
- Museum Row on Wilshire, with LACMA, the Academy Museum and the La Brea Tar Pits, is a few minutes west.

Getting around
Hancock Park is about as central as LA gets. Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Downtown and Koreatown are all close, and the Metro D Line runs under Wilshire Boulevard, with new stations at La Brea, Fairfax and La Cienega that opened in May 2026.
What's new
- Metro D Line subway extension. The first section opened in May 2026 with new stations at Wilshire/La Brea, Wilshire/Fairfax and Wilshire/La Cienega. The next sections, through Beverly Hills and Century City and on to Westwood and the VA, are under construction. (Metro)
- LACMA's David Geffen Galleries. The museum's new Peter Zumthor-designed building for its permanent collection opened in April 2026, a few minutes west on Wilshire. (LACMA)
- Television City. In January 2025 the City Council approved a major expansion of the historic studio campus at Beverly Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue, adding stages and production space while keeping its landmark Beverly Boulevard facade. (Deadline)
Good to know
- Historic preservation zone. Hancock Park and Windsor Square are Historic Preservation Overlay Zones, so exterior changes visible from the street go through design review. Great for keeping the streets intact, but plan ahead if you want to remodel.
- Older homes, bigger systems. Nearly a century old means plumbing, electrical, sewer lines and foundations deserve careful inspections.
- Transfer taxes. The City of LA has an additional transfer tax (Measure ULA) on sales above certain price thresholds, which comes up often at this price point. Ask your escrow officer how it's handled.
