The Villas. Fictionally renamed "The Hillside Villas" on the first season of "the hills" for security purposes. Yep that's right. I live in the same apartment complex that Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag, and Audrina Patridge lived in on the first and second season of MTV's "the hills". It's so wonderful here, and everybody who has the opportunity to live in a place like this for their first apartment is extremely fortunate. It's located in West Hollywood, right in between Beverly Hills and Hollywood. Perfect Location! Although it's pretty cool that they lived here, we've heard from resident's who have lived here during the filming of the hills, that said it was the biggest pain in the ass having them live here because they would do things such as: closing down the front gate to shoot lauren driving in (which they had to do many retakes of) as well as closing down the pool when lauren and her friends would lay out, etc. We've also heard that many resident's moved out of the Villas due to LC and friends! haha It just goes to show you how fame isn't a big deal in LA. Everyone is either already famous, knows famous people, or thinks their famous. Therefore an MTV show shooting at their apartment complex is more of an annoyance rather than something to brag about. However for people like me....growing up in the San Francisco area, I think it's pretty damn cool! Check out the link below, its the first episode of the hills showing my apartment. :)
