Introduction: Why Los Feliz is a Dog Owner’s Dream

Los Feliz is one of LA’s most pet-friendly neighborhoods, offering wide open green spaces, outdoor dining patios, and a community that embraces four-legged friends. Whether you’re hiking with your pup or sipping lattes at a dog-friendly café, Los Feliz makes it easy to live life alongside your best friend.


Dog-Friendly Parks in Los Feliz

Griffith Park

The crown jewel of Los Feliz, Griffith Park offers miles of trails where leashed dogs are welcome. From shady paths to panoramic hikes up to Griffith Observatory, it’s a dog owner’s paradise.

  • Tip: Early mornings and golden hour are best for cooler weather and fewer crowds.

Silver Lake Dog Park (Nearby)

Though technically outside Los Feliz, this off-leash park is only a short drive away. It’s a favorite for social pups and their owners.

  • Tip: Great for letting dogs run free and meet others.

Los Feliz Village Strolls

Even without a dedicated dog park, Los Feliz’s walkable streets make for perfect daily strolls — especially Vermont and Hillhurst Avenues, lined with shops and cafés.

Claudia Chan

Helped me rent a Condo home in Playa del rey, Playa del rey, CA.

My best friend referred me to Sarah when my boyfriend and I were looking to relocate to California from New York City. Sarah is very friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. When we had our initial conversation about looking to rent, she was very transparent about taking the time to research which areas/neighborhoods that we would be interested in before seeing any of the listings. During our visit, she was available to show us some listings and I thought she really asked the right questions. She was also very on top of our requests like reaching out about pet deposit/fees and scheduling showings. She made us feel very taken care of too because we were new to renting and working with an agent. We did eventually find our home to rent with her help and she made sure to read through the rental agreement for any errors or mistakes. It was a smooth process and overall, we were very happy with our experience and highly recommend her!

Helped me rent a Apartment home in Alhambra, CA.

Sarah made apartment hunting so much fun and hassle-free! She was very responsive and supportive throughout the whole process. Sarah provides a wealth of knowledge in terms of comparative leasing comps, negotiating, and overall application progress. Lastly, I never met any other agent that emits as much genuineness and compassion as she. I highly recommend her as an agent for leasing or buying!

Bought a Single Family home in 2022 in East central, Pasadena, CA.

Brandon is so positive, supportive, and responsive to any and all my needs in the entire process of looking and buying a new home. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable about the market and procedures, thoughtful, and made excellent recommendations every step of the way. Honestly, he went above and beyond my expectation! I feel very confident with Brandon. I appreciate that he helped me to analyze what I need together, and find the perfect place for my partner and I.
