SHERWOOD FOREST HOMES FOR SALE | NEW HOMES

The newly recognized community of Sherwood Forest is located in the Southern portion of Northridge. The neighborhood received a new proclamation of its independence in 2013 with word that the U.S. Postal Service has begun recognition of the area as a valid mailing address.

“The large tree-lined tract homes in this newly named community gives it the distinction that it has been recognized by the City of Los Angeles and the federal government,” Sherman said. Councilman Mitch Englander, a supporter of officially recognizing the district by the City Council, said the ZIP code designation will add a sense of genuine community. Englander, in August 2012, won council approval of a petition from the Sherwood Forest Homeowners Association to formally identify the community for planning purposes. FOR SALE | NEW HOMES

The area is bounded by Nordhoff Street to the north, Balboa Boulevard to the east, Southern Pacific railroad to the south and Lindley Avenue to the west. It includes around 1,200 properties and more than 4,800 residents.

While there is no Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest, the area has a lot of trees and it’s almost like living in a mountain community. The community of Sherwood Forest has existed, informally, for decades. In fact, the area was one of the original named tracts in the city, and the official recognition. The homeowner’s association is one of the most active in the area, and there are several homes for sale.

Sherwood Forest will remain part of the Northridge South Neighborhood Council.

The area is conveniently located close to CSUN, Northridge Fashion Center, Dearborn Park and MetroLink station.

Arts District Downtown Los Angeles

Among one of the most defining neighborhoods of Downtown Los Angeles, the Arts District is full of industrial buildings that are now converted to modern lofts, and offers a growing selection of newly constructed lofts for lease as well. #artsdistrict #dtla

In the late 60’s and early 70’s, a handful of determinedly urban-minded artists saw opportunity in the empty warehouses and began colonizing the area, converting former industrial spaces into roomy working studios, renting space for as little as a nickel a square foot and carving out living quarters, thus inventing the concept of live-work spaces. The City of Los Angeles acknowledged the reality of the situation and in 1981 passed the Artist in Residence ordinance, which allowed artists to legally live and work in industrial areas of Downtown Los Angeles.

Art galleries, cafes and performance venues sprang up as the residential population grew, and although they are mostly a transient phenomenon, they have assumed mythical status among the urban pioneer population. Al’s Bar on Hewitt just off Traction, in particular, served up groundbreaking punk rock from the mid-70s through the beginning of the new century, introducing generations of Angelenos to dozens of emerging groups (among them, Pearl Jam). The Atomic Cafe on 1st Street at Alameda was a popular artist haunt in the late 60s and early 70s. Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), created pioneering post-modern exhibitions at its gallery space on Industrial Street.

Today the Arts District remains the home of artists (though fewer starving ones), arts enterprises and many employed in L.A’s vast film and television industry. The celebrated Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), now resides in the 110 year old, quarter mile-long former Santa Fe freight depot that stretches along Santa Fe between Third and 4th Streets. SCI-Arc’s reputation as an experimental anti-establishment school of architecture is a perfect fit with the community’s somewhat rebellious self-image. The school’s student population helps preserve the areas youthful character, and has added some custom touches to local loft apartments such as Newberry Lofts.

Arts District Lofts and Condos: FOR SALE | FOR LEASE

From 2nd Street to 7th Street between Alameda Street and the LA River, the eastern edge of Downtown is totally walkable. Ths is the Arts District, where the graffiti is the art! In the 1970s, the old, industrial warehouses in this district, many of them railroad buildings, were converted into artist lofts for both work spaces and, once the AIR ordinance was passed, legal living spaces. Now gaining in community rich in character, socially conscious boutiques and some of the best restaurants and bars. The area features an eclectic mix of restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and galleries. The district has some of the best example of lofts, including:

Barker Block lofts (510 S. Hewitt St. | 530 S. Hewitt St.), Biscuit Company Lofts (BISCUIT COMPANY LOFTS FOR SALE), Gallery Lofts (120 S. Hewitt St. | 130 S. Hewitt St.), Molino Street Lofts (MOLINO STREET LOFTS FOR SALE), Toy Factory Lofts, (TOY FACTORY LOFTS FOR SALE), Toy Warehouse Lofts, (TOY WAREHOUSE LOFTS FOR SALE).

LA Art Walk:

The free, self-guided, public art phenomenon known as The Downtown Art Walk brings together art lovers and community friends to the ever evolving downtown Los Angeles. With exciting and unique offerings around every corner, downtown celebrates the arts each and every month on the 2nd Thursday. Please refer to your calendar for specific dates. Hours vary by gallery, but can typically range from Noon – 10PM.

Many of The Downtown Art Walk activities take shape in and around the galleries predominantly on Spring and Main streets between 2nd and 9th streets. However, there is a plethora of art related events and openings, activities, and special programming that take place all over downtown.

For the true art buyers and fans, arriving early offers a more relaxing stroll through the different galleries and art exhibits. As the evening progresses, more visitors descend on the area to meet up with friends and savor the local experience. Visitors and local downtowners can often be found patronizing the outcropping of local shopping, dining and entertainment establishments that have created the thriving, vibrant community

Prospective home buyers simply say what they are looking for and get priority access to ALL homes that match their criteria, including Bank Foreclosures, Company Owned Properties and other Distress Sales.

Elysian Valley, also known as Frogtown, is the residential and industrial neighborhood on the southwest side of the Los Angeles River between Elysian Park and Glassell Park in the City of Los Angeles. >> MORE

River House Condominiums

Of all the neighborhoods along the L.A. River, Elysian Valley or Frogtown, lives most intimately with the river. It is now the launch point for kayaking, and has a popular bike path.

Frogtown is one of a few neighborhoods in L.A. where industrial buildings mix with residences. One of the first was the 4S bakery. It was founded in 1922 by four men whose names all started with S. It moved from downtown to Elysian Valley in 1926. At some point they merged with Bimbo bakeries.

The residents are fighting its transition into the next hipster place. In Aug. 2014, L.A. Weekly described Frogtown as L.A.s hottest new neighborhood, but the residents declined the honor. Residents are not embracing change, according to the August 3, 2015 Community Beacon.

Anaheim Homes For Sale

ANAHEIM HOMES FOR SALE | NEW LISTINGS | UNLISTED HOMES

What once was a large meadowy area with orange trees and dirt roads, now Anaheim is a city that has become Orange County’s playground. Anaheim was one of the first areas to be developed in the 1800’s for farming interests, and it was the center for track home developments in the middle part of the last century.

Because of it’s blue collar industries, Anaheim was largely inhabited by working families living in modest homes with very little culture for advanced professional movement within the city. If someone wanted to move up, they moved away from Anaheim.

Once Disneyland anchored itself in this city within deep Orange County, tourism grew to support the resort, and eventually tourist attractions established themselves independently of the mighty mouse.

Anaheim is a large city that often uncomfortably sits within the Southern California capital of suburban life. Today, Anaheim is the playground for Orange County, Los Angeles County, and San Diego locals. With 3 national sports teams, Disneyland Resort, Convention Centers that host world class performances, and venues for music performances, Anaheim is a go-to destination for locals.

ANAHEIM HOMES FOR SALE | NEW LISTINGS | UNLISTED HOMES

The surrounding housing is smaller in the immediate areas due to it’s roots of modest residents. In the 1980’s and 1990’s a surge of development brought large houses into Anaheim’s hills. The area had so many larger-than-necessary homes it gained national attention and spawned the term McMansions.

Due to it’s proximity to so many freeways, it’s center location to most of the points of interest in Orange County, Anaheim is a necessary point of importance for the county.

As it was historically, Anaheim is a great place for first time buyers because of it’s large pool of modestly sized homes. However currently, the area offers industries for professional development and cultural sites for a enriching home to plant roots. It’s also a great place to live for people who are advanced in their professions, with larger homes, and locations that suite people with above modest means.

Anaheim is a large city with many community districts outside of the large modern parts of the city.

Downtown Anaheim is located in the heart of the Colony Historic District. Downtown is the administrative heart of the city where you find City Hall, Anaheim West Tower, Anaheim Police Headquarters, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and the Main Library.

Anaheim Ice (formerly Disney Ice), the Downtown Anaheim Farmer’s Market, a food hall in a historic 1919 Sunkist packing house, and the Center Street Promenade are also located in Downtown Anaheim. In the Fall of 2007, The Muzeo, the newest major museum in Orange County, opened its doors for the first time and is located next to Anaheim West Tower.

ANAHEIM HOMES FOR SALE | NEW LISTINGS | UNLISTED HOMES

Pearson Park is also located in Downtown Anaheim, and is named after Charles Pearson, who was Mayor of Anaheim during the time Walt Disney opened Disneyland in Anaheim. One of the major attractions located in Pearson Park is the Pearson Park Amphitheater.

In the Colony Historic District just west of Downtown Anaheim is the Mother Colony House, which was built by George Hanson and was the first house built in Anaheim, the Founder of Anaheim. Today, it is Anaheim’s and Orange County’s oldest museum still open to the public. The Stoffel House is a Victorian Mansion located next door to the Mother Colony House. Originally the Victorian Home was occupied by the Stoffel Family, early pioneer residents of Anaheim. The home served as headquarters for the local Red Cross until the early 1990s.

In 2010–2011, the Woelke-Stoeffel house became refurnished and is now part of the Founder’s Park complex. Founder’s Park includes the Mother Colony house and a carriage house, which serves as a museum of Anaheim’s agricultural history.

Laurel Canyon Homes For Sale

LAUREL CANYON HOMES FOR SALE | NEW LISTINGS | UNLISTED HOMES

Laurel Canyon is named for it’s thoroughfare, Laurel Canyon Boulevard. However, unlike other nearby canyon neighborhoods, Laurel Canyon has houses lining one side of the main street most of the way up to Mulholland Drive. There are many side roads that branch off the main canyon, but most are not through streets, giving a rare self-contained nature of the neighborhood.

Laurel Canyon found itself a nexus of counterculture activity and attitudes in the 1960s, becoming famous as home to many of L.A.’s rock musicians, such as Frank Zappa; Jim Morrison of The Doors; The Byrds; Buffalo Springfield; and Love.

LAUREL CANYON HOMES FOR SALE | NEW LISTINGS | UNLISTED HOMES

The icon of Laurel Canyon is the Canyon Country Store, on Laurel Canyon Boulevard, the most tangible relic of the area’s musical heyday. The Country Store is a neighborhood institution and a purveyor of surprisingly good wines and delicious custom-made deli sandwiches. Resolutely ungentrified by the same owners since 1982, the red-brick building still packs a flower-power punch in its psychedelic murals, bougainvillea-splashed patio.

The area continues to appeal to residents with bohemian and artistic sensibilities, in part due to the area offering some of the most affordable real estate in the Hollywood Hills West area. Since Laurel Canyon offers some small lots without a view, the neighborhood allows buyers to purchase in the Hollywood Hills at a much lower price point than neighboring areas. While this is true, the neighborhood is also home to numerous examples of modern architecture as well as lots with panoramic views. Laurel Hills is a subdivision located within the Laurel Canyon area.
