Only in L.A., can 7 minutes and 1.7 miles mean a $170k difference in home price. Today’s best new listings are for a 1922 Cottage in Highland Park and a 1960 Mid-Century in South Pasadena. Apart from the location and style, both these homes stack up pretty closely. Both are nestled on lush grounds, both have hillside views, both lovingly cared for by non-flippers, each has 2 bedrooms/1 bath and both clock in at less than 1000 sq. ft. When put that way, it makes you wonder if those 7 minutes, and extra $800 a month in mortgage, is really worth it. To see these homes, let me know.
