This short stretch of residential street is one of LA's prettiest places, and one of my favorite little walks. Adelaide runs along the southwest rim of Santa Monica Canyon, one block north of San Vicente. The street begins at Ocean Ave. and goes to just past 7th St., a distance of only a few blocks.
The graceful vintage homes on large lots along Adelaide overlook ocean and canyon. At 4th & Adelaide are the famed Santa Monica Stairs (http://www.yelp.com/bi... and http://www.yelp.com/bi...), that go all the way down to the bottom of the canyon, to Entrada Dr.. A second set of stairs is just up the street. The stairs attract a constant crowd of fitness enthusiasts & trainers, and their stream of cars. For that reason, I might pass on actually living on Adelaide if given the opportunity because privacy would be compromised. But I'll continue to enjoy a stroll now and then in this little piece of paradise. -

This street buttresses against the Devil's Staircase (The Santa Monica Stairs) which provides wonderful juxtaposition between this lovely ocean-adjacent canyon view. I like.
