About Hollywood/Santa Monica

Originally known as the Hollywood Addition, Hollywood Heights/Santa Monica was originally gifted to Robert Moore in 1845 by the Republic of Texas. In the 1920s, famed Kessler Park developer, J.B. Salmon, bought the land, which was a former dairy farm. The Hollywood Addition eventually blossomed to encompass the residential additions of Santa Monica and Collier.

The mainly two- and three-bedroom stone or brick cottages in Hollywood Heights/Santa Monica, are heavily populated by Tudor-style homes, though the development features an interesting cornucopia of French and Spanish eclectic, minimal traditional, Pueblo Revival, Monterrey and Craftsman abodes.

Nearby, residential amenities include Samuell Grand Park, Tennison Memorial Golf Course, Lakewood Country Club, and White Rock Lake.

Boundaries

Hollywood Heights/Santa Monica is bounded to the east by Grand Street, Santa Fe to the west, and the Santa Fe railroad to the north.
