The Hollywood Dell is so named because it sits "in" the hills just above commercial and tourist-popular Hollywood, rather than atop the hills.[citation needed] In general, one must travel downhill to enter the dell, and uphill to exit it.[citation needed] The roads within the dell are mainly hilly, and many homes are built on hillside lots.
Typical residences in the Hollywood Dell are single-family dwellings with a heavy influence of Spanish Colonial Revival Style architecture.[2][3][4] There is also an active homeowners association, with voluntary dues, named the Hollywood Dell Civic Association.[5][6]
