South Carthay HPOZ residential development began during the early 1930s. Almost half of the single-family dwellings in South Carthay were designed and built by Greek developer Spyros George Ponty, who built homes throughout Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. Ponty and other contractors constructed homes in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The characteristic use of low-pitched red tile roofs, arched doors and windows, and smooth stucco exterior finishes provides visual continuity and cohesiveness to the neighborhood. South Carthay residences are exceptional for their quality construction, skilled craftsmanship, decorative detailing, and individuality — no two homes are exactly alike. The South Carthay HPOZ was adopted by the City Council in 1985. The zip code for this area is 90035.

These include Carthay Circle, Carthay Square, and South Carthay. It is also located right by La Brea, Miracle Mile, and Mid Wilshire. It’s like an oasis nestled in between Beverly Hills and West Hollywood.
