Chateau West Condominiums
Abe Chang: As of Sept 2013, currently one unit is for sale in this building. Multi-story unit has high ceilings with lots of natural light. 2nd Bed is upstairs part of the loft. Loft can be used as an office also. Walkscore rates it a 91. Lots of restaurants, cafes, grocery and local amenities all in walking distance. There's also Stoner Park, schools, library, WLA courthouse, post office & police station all within a few blocks of this building. Farmer's Market is nearby on Sundays too!
Lafayette Condominium
Abe Chang: As of Sept 2013, current multi-level condo for sale. Rooftop deck, 2bedrooms and loft with high ceilings and large windows. Walkable to neighborhood eateries/ bars like Darya, All India Cafe, Mom's, Guido's,etc. Unique mom 'n pop shops in walking distance as well. Near SM Bus 1, 10 & 14. Contact me for more info.
The Mercury
Abe Chang: Busy intersection for those wanting an active urban life. Both the Purple line and bus routes stop here along with the Santa Monica Rapid 7. Lots of choices between coffee, Korean food, and sushi are all in walking distance. In the daytime it's safe to walk anywhere, but at night, I would not walk too far south of 7th and not north of 6th. Living next to rail stations really is the next real estate boom in Los Angeles. If you can buy, buy now.
2121 James M Wood Blvd
Abe Chang: Beautiful 1923 building that was recently converted to condos in 2011. It's a few blocks from the Purple line, which in the daytime is fine to walk, but would be sketchy at night. It's not the cleanest place to be. But there are tons of local merchants all along these streets and great street vendors.
Tokyo Villa Homeowners Associates
Abe Chang: The building feels like you are walking into an older hotel. There is a security guard at the lobby that checks visitors in. Although the Tokyo Villa condos aren't as cool as living in a loft, the location is great. And since it's in Little Tokyo, it feels safe, even at night (at least for me). Lots of dining options a block or so away. Close to light rail station & soon the RC Connector will have an even closer station making it easier to hop on the train.
Lemonade
Abe Chang: I first tried Lemonade in Weho. I liked the place from the start, but for some reason, trying to figure out how to order food seemed more difficult than it should have been. I'm glad they opened one in Brentwood and still love their food. Their lemonade, despite the name is way too sweet for me though, so I skip it.
