"Ruth Hardy is a great walking neighborhood with homes developed from 1935 to ’04," Sheri said. "Many homes in the neighborhood have recently been restored, remodeled or even rebuilt from the ground up. Architecture includes a mix of modern, ‘Mid-Century Modern’, Spanish, ranch, and adobe. Homes range from modest smaller residences to exclusive walled estates. The Ruth Hardy neighborhood is known for large lots and was home to numerous Hollywood celebrities from the 40’s to the 70’s."
