Los Feliz is a hillside neighborhood in the central region of Los Angeles named after Corporal José Vicente Feliz who was granted the area by Pedro Fages, the first Lieutenant Governor of the so-called Californias.
Another famous figure in the area’s history is Griffith J. Griffiths, a mining and real estate tycoon, who purchased a major part of the land and donated most of it to the city of Los Angeles for use as a park (Griffith's Park).
In terms of real estate this area is of great architecturally significance. A long list of architects including Richard Neutra, Frank Lloyd Wright, his son Lloyd Wright and R.M Schindler left their mark on homes and structures in Los Feliz.
