Arts District
Once considered a less expensive alternative to places like Silver Lake, the Arts District is in high-demand among the fashionably well-heeled. The Barker Block is proof of that, though the price on this unit has been trimmed since it first came up for sale in June. Spanning 1,320 square feet, the condo has a loft-like feel with concrete floors, exposed beams and brick walls, and a steel staircase. In all, it contains two “open-style” bedrooms with vaulted ceilings. Walking distance to lots of popular bars and restaurants, the building has 24/7 security, and a new rooftop pool, spa, and gym are in the works. Unit No. 105 is asking $1.05 million.

Echo Park
The selling points for this property: location and outdoor space.

On a 7,405-square-foot, it’s equipped with an expansive front deck that boasts views of the Downtown skyline. Plus, there’s a sizable rear yard with space for a garden, expansion, or ADU. It’s listed at $1.049 million.
