​
Shopping
You got your shelter, there's no way you'll be lacking in clothing with the great stores at the shops at the beautiful Hollywood and Highland Center. Just a walk away!
​
Find everything you need for your apartment at affordable prices at the nearby Target, Best Buy, Ross, and so much more.
​
​
Nature & Recreation
​
Yes, you are located in an urban sprawl, but just a few blocks away from some of LA's most beautiful nature sites.
​
An LA favorite is Runyon Canyon, a five-minute walk away from Sycamore Terrace. Leave the city and escape into the hills for a jog, picnic, celebrity sightings, or free yoga classes under the clear-blue sky. Or take a longer jog to Griffith Park. Of course, the beach is about 30 mins away by car.
​
​
Entertainment & Nightlife
Grauman's Chinese Theater (you know, the one with the foot and handprints of famous stars) is right around the corner. Further on is El Capitan Theater, The Egyptian Theater, and the Sunset ArcLight.
Then there's the Hollywood Wax Museum, the Guinness Book of World Records Museum, Madame Tussauds, and daily tours of the Homes of the Stars.
Like to bowl? Check out: Lucky Strike Lanes at Hollywood and Highland Center, where you'll always find something to entertain you.
Nightclubs include (as of this writing): Avalon, H-Wood and Kress, to name a few.
​
Live it up at some of LA's most swanky hotels and all their trimmings: spas, bars, lobbies, and restaurants. They include The Roosevelt, The Renaissance, and the W Hotel on Hollywood and Vine (just take a subway--the station is right there!)
​
Other attractions a little further away: Universal Studios, The Hollywood Bowl, Greek Theater, Ford Amphitheater.
