The Hollywood Dell is a residential neighborhood located in the Hollywood Hills section of Los Angeles. Technically, it is in The Hollywood Hills East, as it is on the east side of the 101 (also known as the Hollywood Freeway) , through before the 101, this area was one with Whitley Heights and considered part of the original Hollywood Hills. The generally accepted borders of "the Dell" are east of Cahuenga, north of Franklin, West of Argyle and South of the Hollywood Reservoir. It is fully encompassed by zip code 90068.

The Hollywood Dell is so named because it sits "in" the hills that are just above commercial and tourist popular Hollywood, and opposed to being on top of the hills. In general, you will go down to get into the dell, and up to get out of it. The roads within the dell are mainly hilly and many homes are built on hill side lots.

With it close proximity to the Hollywood Bowl, it is a popular free parking area for concert goers. Concert Parking is probited for such purposes, and a number of entries are guarded. However, locals who know their way around though can get into the neighborhood and contribute to a problematic overcrowded parking situation on concert nights.

Typical residences in the Hollywood Dell are single family dwellings with a heavy influence of Spanish Colonial Revival Style architecture. There is also an active homeowners asscoiation, with voluntary dues, named the Hollywood Dell Civic Association. Their online presence can be found at Hollywooddell.com.
