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. Yet, you’d never know it if you’d passed through the area in the last several years. […]
Featured image credit: Tedder Don’t call it a ghost town. Although, admittedly, California City is a ghost of what its creators intended. If we’re looking at it purely from the perspective of land area, it’s the third-largest city in California (bigger than San Francisco and Sacramento) and the 43rd biggest city in the country, measuring […]
In early June this year, JohnHart REALTOR® Kelli Dunaway was likely experiencing a much-appreciated case of déjà vu. It’s then she received a notification from the San Gabriel Valley News that she (for the second time) had been voted a Favorite REALTOR® of the San Gabriel Valley. People from around the region sent in their […]
Featured image credit: Sansculotte When it comes to houses for rent Los Angeles architecture buffs would adore, the supply can be pretty tight. That’s not to say we lack architectural wonders. Few other American cities can give you Spanish Colonial Revival bungalows across the street from a historically significant Craftsman home neighboring a modern brutalist […]
You might even find a few mechanical bulls mixed in. Featured image credit: Sassafras Saloon Let’s be honest: we don’t get a lot of people looking for an authentic hoedown in LA. It’s a place where the city slickers are extra slick; where the palm tree is greater than the prairie rose; where the emphasis […]
When we started publishing these absorption rates every month, we’d never in a million years have predicted we’d hit a point in which the neighborhood with the highest surge toward a seller’s market was also our lowest absorption rate for the month. But here we are. Looking at June as a whole, it sure looks […]
There’s no way around it: Los Angeles has a housing supply shortage. You may not hear us talk about it much here at JohnHart. But that’s only because we invest in agents who know how to use conditions like this to your advantage. That doesn’t mean we’re working in an ideal market. Will supply ever […]
Featured image credit: Levi Clancy This city (and, by extension, this blog) is no stranger to incredible feats of folk art. We’ve seen it in structures like Rubel Castle, the Mosaic Tile House, Zorthian Ranch, and even, to some degree, the Sam Maloof House. We explored it in installations like the Old Trapper’s Lodge and […]
It’s that time again – but who needs a written warning when you already have the alarm percussively blowing up outside your window? You’ve no doubt heard the fireworks already, even though Independence Day is still weeks away. It almost seems like they’ve just kept going straight through from last year. But LA doesn’t wait […]
Featured image credit: MONA Glendale When Blade Runner hit theaters in June 1982, it introduced us to a portrait of LA’s dystopian future, a constant barrage of polluted rain plummeting into percussive refinery fires.
