  Built in 1941–42 as Baldwin Hills Village, a pioneering Garden City–style "superblock" of 627 apartments set amid shared green courts, designed by Reginald D.

Designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 174 in 1977, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, and declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 2001.

  Developed in the 1940s–50s along former Rancho La Cienega land, originally by the same Clarence Stein team, to house young families in low-rise garden apartments. Nicknamed "The Jungle" for its lush tropical plantings—palms, banana trees, begonias that once surrounded the buildings. In 1990, the Los Angeles City Council officially adopted the name Baldwin Village to replace "The Jungle" and shed the area's menacing image, though the old nickname persists colloquially.

The project's two-story brick-stucco buildings cluster around open green lawns. Over its history, the complex has been home to multi-generational African American families and, since the 1990s, large numbers of Latino residents. It has also faced challenges with gang activity and crime, earning local nicknames "Low Bottoms" and "the Pueblos."
• Slauson Recreation Center

Central-Alameda is a South Los Angeles neighborhood centered along Central Avenue and Alameda Street, just south of Downtown Los Angeles. Historically an industrial and working-class enclave, it encompasses residential blocks, commercial corridors, and civic amenities.

Today its cluster of skyscrapers, mixed-use developments, and retail centers make it one of Southern California's most prominent employment hubs.

The Fox Studio Lot occupies roughly 50 acres at the southwest edge of Century City, bounded by Santa Monica Boulevard, Avenue of the Stars, Pico Boulevard, and Olympic Boulevard.

• Opened in 1928 as Fox Movietone City, it was among Hollywood's first purpose-built sound film facilities, featuring Spanish Colonial Revival offices alongside architecturally eclectic soundstages.

• Today the lot retains 15 soundstages, from Egyptian-themed halls to the famed scoring stage where The Sound of Music was recorded, plus backlot streets, commissary eateries, and state-of-the-art post-production suites.
• It continues to operate as a fully-functioning studio facility, offering production and post-production services while preserving nearly a century of film and television heritage

Santa Clarita

Incorporation Date: December 15, 1987

How It Happened: Four distinct communities—Canyon Country, Newhall, Saugus, and Valencia—joined forces to incorporate as a single city. This move was driven by a desire for local control over development, services, and governance in the rapidly growing Santa Clarita Valley.

• Placerita Canyon
  Inside Placerita Canyon is the historic "Oak of the Golden Dream" the site of California's original gold discovery in 1842.
  📍 19152 Placerita Canyon Rd, Newhall, CA 91321

• Saugus
  The community of Saugus was initially named Newhall by Henry Mayo Newhall. In 1879, after shifting the town's borders a few miles south, he renamed it Saugus after his birthplace in Saugus, Massachusetts. Many of the early residents migrated from Texas and Oklahoma to work in the oil fields. But the rural landscape also attracted those seeking space away from the city.
  
  Home to the Original Saugus Café, established in 1886— the oldest continuously operating restaurant in LA County
  📍 25861 Railroad Ave, Santa Clarita, CA 91355

Stevenson Ranch includes Mentryville Park, the remains of the historic oil-mining town of Mentryville, founded in 1875. Stevenson Ranch is also the filming location of several film and television productions, including the television show "Weeds," a Showtime original series, as well as the feature film "Pleasantville." Its master-planned nature is at the heart of the suburban commentary of "Weeds," such as the "Little Boxes" song and sprawling development portrayed in the opening of the show.
