Downtown Los Angeles – The Arts District

You probably already know that Downtown Los Angeles is rapidly becoming a pretty cool place to live. Even longtime Angelenos are often surprised at just how “urban” the actual city center can feel. One tends to picture the Hollywood Sign, Bel Air mansions, surfers, wide boulevards cutting among hip neighborhoods and past rolling mountains when someone says “Los Angeles.” But the actual downtown – the place where city hall, sky scrapers, court houses, etc. come together – feels like a “real city.” It’s flavored by a pinch of New York, …

Go Uptown to Downtown

Downtown Los Angeles has been a major focus for the city government for nearly a decade.  Officials in this part of town have sought to introduce new life into an area once forsaken.  The goal in this quickly gentrifying area has been to rid it of its massive homeless population and transform it into a desirable residential and commercial location.
That work has been paying off.  A recent study by The Downtown Center Business Improvement District concluded that the location is now a hotspot for the young and affluent.  The news …

Pacific Palisades — Beaches, Mountains and Lovely Homes

Map of Pacific Palisades

Tucked between the cities of Santa Monica to the south and Malibu to the north and framed by the Pacific Ocean and a mountain chain to the west and east, respectively, Pacific Palisades is a beautiful but largely unknown neighborhood. Unknown, at least, to those new to or unfamiliar with the area.
And perhaps that’s how the 28,000 or so residents of this affluent Los Angeles neighborhood like it. But… with apologies, I’m shedding some light on the place anyway. It’s a fine place to call home, so why keep it …

Sunland-Tujunga, CA — The Next (LA) Frontier?

Historic Bolton Hall

A few of my friends have bought homes in the Sunland-Tujunga recently, so I thought maybe I’d better look into the area. It turns out… they may be on to something. As long as you don’t mind a commute to downtown Los Angeles (and beyond), this area may be a good move for you and your family. Not only are there single family residences at great prices, but condos at pricetags that will have you jumping in the car to give a once over in person.

Sunland and Tujunga were established …

West Hollywood — In the Middle of it All

Today West Hollywood — “The Creative City” as it proudly dubs itself — is a vibrant, eclectic city, known for great restaurants and bars, retailers ranging from high-end couture to the decidedly offbeat.
Famous boulevards and avenues pass through the neighborhood — Melrose, Sunset and Santa Monica, to name a few — bisected by little streets lined in charming homes and apartments.
The makeup of this city-within-a-city (a feature common to Los Angeles; unique to the area) has much to do with its neighbor, Beverly Hills, immediately to the West. There are …

Koreatown, Chinatown and Little Tokyo

Chinatown

Nestled next to or within downtown, these 3 neighborhoods offer a great value for the location. All close, all charming and all selling! With the vibrant Latino community and culture embedded in LA, people sometimes forget the other rich ethnic communites; Glendale has more Armenians than anywhere else in the world outside of Armenia.

Koreatown is seen as a “mini Seoul” boasting a huge Korean population with a posh nightlife that has upscale Karaoke studios and pool halls. But it’s the location that makes it’s real estate so desirable. As quoted …
