The show is set in a small apartment courtyard complex in the
West Hollywood district of Los Angeles, where several young individuals reside, each with their own dreams and drives.
[A short street named "Melrose Place" exists in Los Angeles as an offshoot of Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood; the street contains shops, salons, boutiques and restaurants — but no apartment complexes.] The original plan for the show was to have minor stories conclude in every episode, but when that formula proved unpopular, the writers started developing long-term storylines to evolve during the season.
