Los Angles Real Estate

Homes in Los Angeles are expensive compared to much of the rest of the country. So many people live and move here each year that housing is in short supply. L.A. County is huge, covering 4,000 square miles. There are 158 cities and unincorporated areas, comprising 114 neighborhoods. Yet, there is very little available land; most was consumed by the Postwar housing boom and subsequent expansion of suburbia. The ability to spread out is tapped out; most of the county is now developed.

Long commute times are a fact of life here. That’s why home shoppers will often take a closer look at neighborhoods near their workplace or close to major public transportation hubs, like subway stations. Our map search tool comes in very handy, making it easier to zoom in and out of the neighborhoods that interest you, by location.

As a mature metropolis, the most practical thing to do is build up instead of out. Construction cranes dot the sky in several parts of town; high-rise condos and multi-unit buildings create new housing units and revitalize old neighborhoods. However, the pace of new construction and regulations limit how much new inventory comes online each year.
