The Hollywood Santa Monica home tour is April 24th and 25th. Both days from 12:00pm until 6:00pm. Tour tickets are $10 each and you can purchase in advance at Curiosities (2025 Abrams Rd) or at Lindsley Park on tour days..
Most people probably never think about where the proceeds for these local home tours goes but you probably should.
I believe that Hollywood Santa Monica is one of the most special neighborhoods in the area. As a Realtor who has worked all over DFW, I have had the occasion of seeing numerous neighborhood associations with mandatory and volunteer membership and dues. Our neighborhood has voluntary membership and the dues are nominal even though the work that the association does is costly. The home tour helps to subsidize activities and improvements.
Have you noticed the Easter Parade and street party, the Christmas party and Halloween parties? Have you ever noticed the entrance to the neighborhood and the landscape? Have you ever noticed the park like medians throughout the neighborhood and their landscape? Have you ever read the newsletter that is delivered to your door? Have you ever noticed that we have an additional police presence? Well you should. You should also know that these things don't come for free nor do your property taxes pay for it. Your dues and home tour proceeds do.
This year the home tour and preview party will provide necessary funds for these and other amenities but also contribute to local charities. In the past, the home tour has contributed to Shakespeare in the Park, JL Long Middle School and Woodrow Wilson High School among other things.
Come out, see the homes and continue to make our 'hood special.
