The summer selling season was winding down in August as kids returned to school and the summer cranked its heat in earnest (a Southern California specialty). That being said, there were no records broken in August like there were in July. But, depending on your neighborhood of interest, there’s still plenty to get excited about […]

But in one sleepy Los Angeles neighborhood, the more decked out the roadway, the better. At least where the historic Shakespeare Bridge is […]
In sun-kissed California, where the weather always seems to smile upon us, few residential features offer quite the same sense of leisure as a balcony. We can survey the scene from on high, refreshment of choice in hand, communing with the natural world just feet from our coziest comforts. But in just a few short […]
Featured image credit: Amé Kali With its boutique shops, chic eateries, and gorgeous homes, Los Feliz is one of the most desirable neighborhoods east of Hollywood. But the demand has its limits.

For one, we sold even more homes, indicative of the summer surge we experience every year at this time as families take advantage of the break from school.

Featured image credit: JGKlein If you’ve been keeping up with our Neighborhood Watch series, you might get a taste of déjà vu from today’s focal point. But we assure you, Encino has its own distinct flavor, regardless of bordering both Reseda and Sherman Oaks, which we’ve previously covered. We didn’t mean to scrutinize so much […]
Keep in mind, construction is moving on Los Angeles time. Featured image credit: Chris English For decades, a delicate ballet of colored light and aquatics in motion has enlivened the point where Riverside Drive and Los Feliz Boulevard intersect.
