"Laurel Canyon is a canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, and like Topanga Canyon very oriented to the central thoroughfare, Laurel Canyon Boulevard. There are many side roads that branch off the main canyon, but most of them are not through streets, reinforcing the neighborhood as self-contained. It was first settled in the 1920s, and became a part of Los Angeles in 1923. Unlike other canyon neighborhoods, Laurel Canyon has houses lining one side of the main street most of the way up to Mulholland Drive. Some of the main side streets are Mount Olympus, Kirkwood, and Lookout Mountain Avenue. The zip code for at least part of the neighborhood is 90046.

It is an important transit corridor between West Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley, specifically Studio City. The division between the two can roughly be defined by the intersection of Laurel Canyon & Mulholland Drive."
