The NoHo house is particularly well suited for aviation enthusiasts because it’s directly under the approach flight path for Burbank Airport.

Lol, I knew there had to be a catch, the houses I like are always in a flight path or under an off-ramp

Yep, me too. It’s like they have to appear better than the other homes in the photos, so when you show up in person you’re more willing to overlook the sound of an airplane overhead every 10-15 minutes

Someone went a little overboard with the yellow in that HP bungalow.

Nice job, Curbed! You really can find decent stuff well under a million. Note to buyers: check the sale history. If something turns over too fast too many times, there’s something there. I like the yellow Joncich toilet best of all. That thing’ll run til doomsday.
