Neighborhood Description Multi-cultural that includes some families with children, however it seems to be mostly professional people...singles and couples. Majority of people I've met up here seem to be associated with some form of the arts, whether it be classical, jazz and rock musicians and singers; writers which include screenwriters, playwrights, poets, book authors; artists, such as painters, sculptors, photographers; Fashion, music video and movie business industry people such as actors, directors, camera operators, script supervisors, makeup-artists, hairdressers, wardrobe stylists, props, lighting specialists, art directors, voice-over people, etc. Also many politicians, including the mayor, city supervisors, etc. The Self-Realization Fellowship is within a 10 minute walk up the hill, with it's beautiful gardens and lovely ambiance, it lends a very ethereal quality to the neighborhood. Mt Washington Elementary school is up the road a little further, and is one of the most beautiful schools I've ever seen. Both the SRF and the school are well taken care of, and they keep everything very clean and neat. At the bottom of the hill there are grocery stores, dry cleaners, car washes and auto repair centers. I love it because it feels very safe and is still very diverse.
