HISTORIC FILIPINOTOWN — SOUTH SILVERLAKE’S OWN BUNGALOW HEAVEN!

Craftsman home aficionados know that South Pasadena is the Mecca for this style of architecture, but real estate there can be pricey, and once you live that far from ‘the City’, it’s hard to stay involved in the Los Feliz and Silverlake arts and culture scene. But don’t despair, Greene and Greene and Frank Lloyd Wright fans! We have 1200-1400 square foot houses with remarkably intact Craftsman architecture right here in Historic Filipinotown, just south of the 101 freeway and just a stone’s throw from Silverlake. The streets between Beverly and Temple and between Hoover and Alvarado are wide, quiet, and lined with palm trees with huge flat lots and one adorable, 1905, double-gabled, wood-floored, big-porch home after another. The area is quiet and the crime rate and school ratings, according to L.A. Life, are the same as neighboring trendy Echo Park, with a way lower price per square foot. So come check out this beautiful architecture. The fact is, you have to be savvy about the unknown corners of the Eastside to beat the Los Angeles real estate market and get a good deal, so why not come to ‘Bungalow Heaven South’ and pay 60% less for your Craftsman cottage?

  1. It's amazing how the use of adjectives and creative writing can color reality.
