Results for “outpost estates”

Bel Air is for the poors. Only the lower and middle parts were the grand estates and homes are good, the rest are crappy homes all crammed onto a hillside. So many home butt up against a hillside void of any frontage (hope no earthquakes come), no sidewalks so you can’t even walk your dogs at night unless you are looking a death wish. The poors who can’t afford Homlby Hills, Beverly Hills, Malibu, nicer parts of Brentwood, move to Bel Air and deal with all this crap.

@guest #61: Beverly Park is closer to the Valley then any other place. It’s great you think so highly of it but most the homes there are badly made McMansions with interiors made of 4 shades of brown. Plus only around 70 or so homes in the area; usually 1 home on the market if that. It does not qualify as a market like Beverly Hills that has thousands of homes and usually 10-15 decent estates for sale at any given time. The location of Beverly Park is average at best frankly won’t work for many people given the prices, it just has some great marketing and famous people behind it. But the place is sterile and lifeless. This location is alive, and lush with tree’s and people. Not everyone wants to hind in sterile lifeless area behind gates when you already have a wall and huge gates around your home. Lets see how fast LAPD get’s to Beverly Park on the next riots. You know Beverly Hills Police will be out in force protecting the residents and blocking the city from unwanted elements. Anyway we can agree to disagree both area’s are very expensive and have seen huge price gains over the years. So plenty of demand on both sides.

Never been in one. Is it like Miller’s Outpost?

venice is turning into an outpost for marina del rey bros.

until recently, i never thought i’d be describing my formerly beloved neighborhood as bro central but sadly that’s what it has become.

venice is still pretty great on weekdays but it has become unbearable on weekends. sad.

@guest #20: I agree, I hope it never sells. We lost a part of L.A. history. He could have just added to the structure instead of tearing it down. We have too many people coming to L.A. buying prized estates and demolishing them.

I miss Miller’s Outpost.

The street entrances were blocked off in the 60’s when blacks started to move into the surrounding neighbirhoods. Many of these estates were turned into boarding or flop houses. $1.7 million to live in the center of the crips, bloods, 18th street and ms13

@guest #35: Construction cost for big homes was high back them because owners would employ master builders who were outrageously expensive compared to normal builders. If you see over and over estates like the Harold Lloyd Estate in Beverly Hills cost $2 Million back in 1927 to build. An absurd amount for the time, when he could have made the same estate for 10th of the price. But then it would not have the same wood work, marble work, craftsmanship, etc. The same goes for this home. To rebuild would be near impossible or any of these great estates. Thankfully many of the great estates were so well made they are still around.

@guest #29: Bwahahaha, what a moron. Most of the westside is overpriced garbage. The scant few areas that actually have estates that could compare to Hancock Park are few and far between.

Now this is what I’m talking about. This gem has style, charm and good bones to it that haven’t been altered like some of those old style estates that some flippers altered that took too much away from the original design.

Absolutely stunning.
