West Hollywood Prime Real Estate

 

 

West Hollywood, named the most walkable city in California by Walk Score. West Hollywood's 32,963 residents earned a Walk Score of at least 70, meaning most errands can be accomplished on foot, and city officials said that was no accident.

"Since we were incorporated in 1984, we've tried to have policies that make the city walkable," said John Keho, West Hollywood planning manager. At its inception, the city passed an ordinance that prohibited new drive-through facilities from being built in its 1.9 square mile territory. Zoning laws also require parking lots be built behind buildings, businesses must open onto the street and those occupying ground-level space must be pedestrian oriented, such as retail shops or restaurants.

Wide sidewalks and tree-lined streets also allow residents to choose two feet over four wheels. 

Economically, West Hollywood's walkability has been an asset for local business, said Maribel Louie, economic development analyst for the city.

"A walkable city creates a great business climate," Louie said.

City officials have used the Walk Score to pitch West Hollywood streets as prime real estate for potential businesses.
