As a Realtor in Los Angeles and also a native of the city, I know how expensive and even out of reach buying a proper family house can be in Los Angeles. By proper family house – I mean 3 -4 bedrooms, good living spaces, a nice sized yard, and a kitchen with that large island all the kids can gather around – most moms dream of this and I can understand why! Unfortunately hard working parents all over this city are finding themselves unable to afford that dream because the LA market, even in this recession, is incredibly expensive when compared to the rest of the Country. In Dallas…you can have a 5 bedroom house for $450,000, in the suburbs of Minnesota you can own a 4 bedroom house on a lake with a huge yard for $350,000…it just seems like the American Dream is so much more realistic everywhere but Los Angeles. This brings us to Sherman Oaks, a beautiful part of Los Angeles that offers good public schools, easy access to freeways and canyons, as well as great parks, shopping, and entertainment. As a Realtor who works with many families and often times families who are relocating or expanding – I believe Sherman Oaks is a great place to invest! In the $850,000 range you can get over 2,500 square feet, at least 3 bedrooms, that great big grassy yard, and large kitchen you’ve been dreaming of. Ventura Boulevard is now filled with tons of trendy coffee shops, restaurants, and stores for kids, clothing, art, and antiques. It’s just plain simple – Sherman Oaks is upscale and accessible – but it’s also affordable! You get more for your money just over the hill and it’s a great place to raise your family! If you’re looking for a great family house in the area or looking to sell a property you currently own – please feel free to contact us!
