Mount Washington

$500K – $1.2M

If the great outdoors and hiking is more your thing, Mt. Washington just might be the place you’d like to call home. An old railway town that claims one of the finest elementary schools in the city, hilly Mt. Washington boasts magnificent views and has so much to offer. Hidden in the hills, you may be in disbelief that you’re still in the city. Access to downtown LA couldn’t be easier, by train or by car. While shopping and restaurants leave a bit to be desired (though, El BuenSabor on Figueroa is quite tasty), that is precisely what makes this out-of-the-way community so special. Peace and quiet. Historic and mid-century homes dot the landscape and views from atop steep roads such as Eldred street are truly breath-taking. Elyria Canyon Park has an outstanding hiking path for jogging, or just enjoying nature in such an otherwise urban setting. Scenic and serene, this tucked away hood is perfect for singles and families alike.
