If a neighborhood profile in the New York Times’s real estate section weren’t evidence enough of just how much home prices in Highland Park have grown, how about this cute bungalow?
After selling in 2014 for $499,000, 915 Palm View is back on the market with an asking price of $679,000. Redfin has tagged it as a “hot home,” and you’ll no find no surprised reactions here if it sells for more.
The two-bedroom, one-bathroom measures a compact 700 square feet, but sits on a hilly 5,356-square-foot lot with room for outdoor dining among olive and citrus trees, lavender, jasmine, and a mature oak.
The interiors are flooded with natural light and feature a contemporary kitchen and bathroom and wide-plank wood floors. The dwelling was constructed in 1924 and is 1.3 miles to the Gold Line station and library and even closer to bars and restaurants on Figueroa.

At least it has an in house laundry

You can install "in-house laundry" anywhere you want.

Not always. It can be very difficult and expensive to retro-install plumbing to accommodate a laundry. If it’s a condo you can’t do it at all

My contractor would disagree. I am aware of the expense – duh.

The inside looks better than the outside. The outside needs some TLC. The house need to be repainted and need to grow some lawn.

The people who buy this property and others like it can’t be the hipsters described in the NYT article. On the one hand they want to live in an old school diverse neighborhood, but also want the inside of their home to look like a showroom for Lowe’s?

kind of dull but clean. whoever buys this don’t plan on expanding your family. unless it’s a cat or two or three

I’d feel cramped adding a Bonsai Tree

It’s a very cute house, I saw it last weekend. But the bedrooms and bathroom are tiny. Not really a practical place to live. And there is no parking.

It seems like a parking spot could be added at the back (top) of the lot (it would require some fill to create a level spot). There’s a curb cut already on Lewis Street.

Judging by the stairway that’s probably where they park now up along the fence

There was a parking pad at the top that was perfect but it couldn’t be permitted and the city made us demo it. Sooooo dumb.

No parking but not super walkable to the cool parts of Highland Park that make living there desirable in the first place. ::shrug::

No this isn’t the very best Highland Park has to offer but the price is really low so it has that going for it.
