If L.A's trendy Los Feliz neighborhood is safe enough for the police chief...
Los Feliz has caught the eye of L.A.'s police chief. He plans to call it home... Wherever they settle in the 90027 ZIP Code, their move will throw a klieg light on Los Feliz, where the median price of a home is $584,000. Houses in the choicest sections, such as the gated Laughlin Park, the Los Feliz Estates and the streets north of Los Feliz Boulevard, command millions of dollars. Outsiders know Los Feliz by such landmarks as the domed Griffith Park Observatory, currently under renovation; the Greek Theatre; the romantic Shakespeare Bridge in Gothic splendor at Franklin Avenue and St. George Street; and the trendy restaurants, clubs and shops along Vermont and Hillhurst avenues in Los Feliz Village.
