View Park-Windsor Hills is one of the wealthiest areas in the United States. The majority of the residents here are BLACK The two communities are part of a band of districts, from Culver City's Fox Hills district on the west to the Los Angeles district of Leimert Park on the east, that comprise the single largest geographically contiguous middle- and upper-class black area in the United States. (Also included in this band are affluent Baldwin Hills and Ladera Heights and middle-class Baldwin Village.)

View Park- Windsor Hill was developed in the 1920s as an upper-middle-class neighborhood akin to Cheviot Hills, Brentwood, Carthay Circle, and Studio City. Along with neighboring Ladera Heights and Baldwin Hills, it is one of the wealthiest areas in the United States. It contains a superb collection of houses in the Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean styles, most of which remain today. Windsor Hills underwent development in the late 1930s; aimed at the middle class, it was the first subdivision in Southern California for which the newly created Federal Housing Administration provided mortgage insurance. Blacks were forbidden residence in either area until the Supreme Court's invalidation of racial restrictive covenants in 1948.

In the 1960s, the area was known as "Pill Hill" on account of the large number of black doctors who live there. After the arrival of Black families starting in the mid-1960s, the wealthy neighborhoods were sometimes called the "Golden Ghetto" or the "Black Beverly Hills."

Since the early 2000s, a small but steadily increasing number of white families have moved back to View Park and Windsor Hills, albeit to a considerably lesser degree than in Fox Hills and Ladera Heights. Blacks still make up still make up more then 93% of homeowners on View Park-Windsor Hills

As with neighboring Baldwin Hills and View Park-Windsor Hills, Ladera Heights is also one of the wealthiest areas in the United States where BLACKS are the mojority and is also With a six-figure median family income and a very low poverty rate, it stands in stark contrast to most of the historically black areas of South Los Angeles (thus gaining the nickname "The black Beverly Hills"). Boasting a higher per-capita income than Rancho Palos Verdes, it stands in contrast to much of the mostly white South Bay as well. Much of the area's desirability stems from the stunning views of the Pacific Ocean available from many hillside houses, as well as its proximity to beaches, Hollywood, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and the San Diego Freeway.

The area was historically mostly white until the early 1960s, when the neighborhood became a mecca for wealthy black families. The Southern California real estate boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s brought into the area a few more upper middle-class white and Asian families priced out of neighborhoods in Los Angeles' except for the presence of cheaper, mostly white Culver City and Mar Vista neighborhoods.

It's funny how many people have this thinking that blacks are poor and have nothing, but in reality, those of us in the know arent at all fooled by this myth. I am very happy that my family has owned 8 homes in these areas for over 50 years.
