Hancock Park Real Estate & Community

The Hancock family developed Hancock Park in the early 1920s; its name was derived from its developer G. Allen Hancock.  Originally the land was peppered with oil wells, but eventually in 1920 it was divided into residential plots.  105 acres of the land was leased to the Wilshire Country Club. Unlike most other Los Angeles neighborhoods, Hancock Park has a much more suburban feel, houses are set back from the street on broad avenues, and this has made it one of the most sought after residential areas in Southern California.  If the national index of the average household income were to be interrogated, we would find the residents of Hancock Park consistently rank among the highest in the country.

Hancock Park Homes & Amenities

Most of the real estate for sale in Hancock Park was developed in the 1920s, and was built in a classic architectural style.  Many Hancock Park homes contain features not traditionally found in similar properties, including elevators ballrooms and staff quarters.  The variety of Hancock Park real estate offered is fairly wide from moderately priced bungalows to large estate homes.  The building of fences is discouraged in the neighborhood and most power and communications cables are buried, this lends it a very open feel, as befits an area that was originally developed to house the city's elite.
