New Market, shops and housing coming to West Adams

A recent Curbed article on an 11 acre development at La Cienega and Jefferson, where the KLOS tower is located, has been the buzz on the blvd. Neighbors are excited to see what retailers will be moving in and if there will be an organic market in the proposed 50,000sf space. The owners of the building at the corner of La Cienega and Jefferson just renovated the space with new full length windows and doors, plus a  new paint job. Looks like they are betting this new development will be a winner.

Recent Sales/Market Update

I was looking at homes sold since Jan 1st 2015 in West Adams and was surprised to see more homes on the market in the high $500k's and $600k's. More folks are revamping their homes to sell and getting top dollar. The last few sales in the neighborhood are:  

2632 Clyde Ave 3bed+2ba 1252sf  - Sold for $620,000

1943 Hauser Blvd 3bed+2ba  1410sf - Sold for $630,000

2330 Alsace Ave 3bed+2ba 1420sf - Sold for $620,000

It's also interesting to see the stats in the above picture . The median price has increased and the days on market (DOM) has also increased. The inventory is overall low, but each quartile has an equal number of listings. I wonder what summer will bring!

West Adams Arts District

Might not look like much yet, but this is one of THREE new gallery spaces opening in the rapidly burgeoning West Adams district. Possibly one one of the most exciting things about the growth in this community is that it's quickly emerging from a wellspring of creativity and culture. 

Stay tuned for more news as these spaces develop!

Just Listed!

Brand new listing in Wild West Adams! Modern restoration of this 3bed + 1.75ba home. New roof, central heat and A/C and tons of original details and charm. It's also great to see the drought tolerant landscaping being used in an area that favors grass and heavy watering.

Delicious Pizza is coming!

Got to celebrate the pre-launch/holiday party at Delicious Pizza last week! If the logo seems familiar, it certainly should...Delicious Pizza is the newest endeavor from Mike Ross, co-founder of the iconic Delicious Vinyl record label. Ross has teamed up with local West Adams designer/restauranteur Fred Sutherland, whose resume includes legendary LA spots like Deep and Fred62.

With a stylish new facade, high ceilings and a crisp, modern interior, Delicious Pizza is destined to be the new hub of the West Adams neighborhood.

For the celebration, Mike and his brother, Rick Ross, brought in DJ Numark and Slimkid3 in to DJ sets from their new record (which was amazing!) and the night topped off with an impromptu set from The Pharcyde. As if that wasn't enough of a treat, folks got to see what the new place is all about. The restaurant will be offering loads of classics plus plenty of new twists courtesy of chef Travis Sutherland.

Delicious Pizza is set to open in Jan 2015. You'll definitely want to check it out!

Wild West Adams

I thought I would start a blog about what's been happening in what I call the westside of West Adams. It's that pocket West of Crenshaw to Fairfax.  Fais Do Do is there, art galleries and shops are opening and there is the beginning wave of new food coming to the neighborhood.  I've been selling here for the last few years and it's amazing to watch it grow. There's a lot more to come.  Just watch Wild West Adams take shape.
