McConnell, Fred W. Forrester, and John P. Haynes[22] and consists of sixteen blocks along the northern side of Cheviot Hills bound by the Hillcrest Country Club, Cheviot Hills Park, and Rancho Park Golf Course to the north, west, and east and Lorenzo, Forrester, and Club Drive to the south.[21] Many of the lots are large, often covering several parcels, and homes were designed by prominent architects including John L.

Quincy Jones.[30] In 1968, John Martin moved his two-year old publishing company Black Sparrow Press into a small cottage behind a friend’s house on Kilrenney Avenue in Cheviot Hills.[31] From those modest accommodations, Martin published some of Black Sparrow’s most well-known titles, including early Charles Bukowski books such as the poetry collection The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over the Hills and the author’s debut novel, Post Office.[33] The neighborhood was considered "not especially diverse" ethnically, with a high percentage of white people in comparison to the rest of Los Angeles.[38] Sixty percent of Cheviot Hills residents aged 25 and older had earned a four-year degree by 2000, a high figure for both the city and the county.
