Los Angeles contains multitudes. It is the city of the Sunset Strip, the City of Stars, the City of Angels, the list goes on. It is also the city of architectural creativity, from the canyon ranch below, to a Venice boardwalk property, to a mid-century condo minutes from Beverly Hills, and, finally to a 200-acre San Gabriel foothill estate. No other city in the world offers the same range of extraordinary addresses. Here are five properties from our archives that capture the range of luxury LA living.
