Hollywood Lakes Hollywood, A Walk In The Neighborhood
Hollywood Lakes Hollywood- Walking Tour
Hollywood Lakes Hollywood’s oldest neighborhood, located east of U.S. 1 between Washington and Johnson Streets, is experiencing a rebirth. The neighborhood is desirable, not only for its charming historic houses but also for its pedestrian friendly environment
Hollywood Lakes was planned as a large residential section of expensive homes with twin manmade lakes flanking Hollywood Boulevard as focal points for beauty, symmetry, and aquatic activities. Young enticed potential homeowners with assurance of open spaces, unobstructed lake views, cool breezes and natural ventilation.
Joseph Young set aside land for parks and open space. Many of these green spaces still exist today. These include Hollywood Golf and Country Club, Young Circle, North and South Lakes and Jefferson Park.
Historically, the most grandiose homes graced the main boulevard entering a town. Joseph Young followed this design element and many large homes from that period still exist on the Boulevard, as Hollywood Boulevard, lined with homes and Royal Palms, provides visitors their first impression of the neighborhood.
Many of the houses built in the 1920’s were designed to capture the southeast breezes from the Atlantic Ocean.
Open porches served as venues for entertainment and conversation as well as crime deterrents. In the 1920’s more than twenty apartments and hotels were built in the Hollywood Lakes and Central Hollywood neighborhoods.
The housing variety allowed a diversity of age groups and income levels to coexist. Many of the houses have apartments or garages in the rear, some of which provided servants’ quarters, others in-laws.
The pedestrians and the cyclists are important element to this traditional historic neighborhood, Hollywood Lakes. Joseph Young enticed potential homeowners with assurance of open spaces, unobstructed lake views, cool breezes and natural ventilation.
