Gentle hills surround you on all sides. A community swimming pool lays at your feet. The trailhead just beyond the pool beckons. Hyman Minkoff knew what he was doing when he developed this area known as Oakmont Woods in the mid fifties, naming each street after one of his four daughters. Eilinita was named after his daughter Eileen. Sit a spell in your backyard and gaze at the protected wilderness, owned by the Santa Monica Conservancy. It will never be developed.
