The duplex is not located in Leimert Park. LP’s eastern boundary is 4th Ave/Roxton (north of King). LP wasn’t developed until the late 1920’s. The best description to locate the duplex would be Leimert Park adjacent.

It’s north of Rodeo Rd, so definitely not Leimert Park. Real estate agents have always exaggerated location. I laugh at how Silver Lake’s boundaries have magically expanded since it’s become a hot ’hood…..umm, four blocks south of the 101 Freeway is not Silver Lake.

There are better choices than I had expected. I was really expecting a bunch of terrible apartments re-labled as condos.

I pick none. Blech.

The refered "it’s asking the oddly specific price of $579,888." probably is indicative of a Chinese seller: the number 8 is considered good luck.

Close to $600K for a crappy sized apartment…I mean condo? No way, especially if you have to deal with an HOA. No no no run away…I’ll take the Brady Bunch ’60’s retro-funk in Northridge or Coconut Park any day.
