<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

A little bit of both actually, like Neo says. There are some side streets, particularly on the east side, where housing is affordable (rentals, like the one you saw), and there are much nicer houses (for sale only) further up on the hill (Los Feliz goes up the eastern flank of the Hollywood Hills, towards Griffith Park and Observatory).

I also lived in the (west) Hollywood Hills a few years ago, and there too (and also in posh Brentwood where I live now) the L.A. tradition of mixing nice, ultra-nice, mega-nice and crappy homes (sometimes next to each other, though not too frequently) is alive and well.

So Los Feliz IS a nice neighborhood, despite its proximity to east L.A., Glendale, downtown, etc. I think it is considered a Greek neighborhood, if I'm not mistaken (Neo?), much like Glendale is an Armenian town.

To wrap up my dissertation (sorry!), I'd like to add that it is not surprising even someone as famous (now) as Eva Longoria lived in such an unimpressive house. Fortunes come and go (up and down) in show business (acting particularly), and lots of actors (and musicians) have more than modest housing accomodations while they strive to break in the business. Actors and musicians simply do not get paid as regally as most people assume (top tier excepted).
