The reservoir that serves most of the City of Angels is known as Lake Hollywood, and it is situated just below the famous Hollywood sign in the Santa Monica Mountains. This affluent, hilly neighborhood (known as the Hollywood Hills) serves as home to many notable celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera.

Growing families need not worry about the expense of enjoying leisure time together in this booming city. A day at the beach, an afternoon at Griffith Park or a car ride along Muholland Drive can be an affordable way to spend a day on the town.
