The Fifty Five Fifty sits at 5550 Hollywood Blvd. on the east side of Hollywood, between the historic boulevard and Los Feliz, so residents get easy access to both.
This guide covers what everyday life looks like in the area, from nearby neighborhoods to getting around and what to expect at home.
Where The Fifty Five Fifty Is Located in Hollywood
The community is on Hollywood Boulevard near Western Avenue, in the part of the city often called East Hollywood or the Hollywood Studio District. The Hollywood/Western Metro station is about a block away, and the US-101 is roughly half a mile from the building. Downtown Los Angeles is about six miles to the southeast.
That location matters more than it might seem. In a city where a short trip can turn into a long drive, being near rail, a freeway on-ramp, and several walkable neighborhoods saves real time every week. You can explore the neighborhood map to see what is nearby.
