Life in the Hills
A place that celebrities like Ray Charles and Tina Turner once called home, Baldwin Hills is an upscale neighborhood just nine miles from downtown LA. “Baldwin Hills has some of the nicest views in all of LA,” says realtor Linda Roth Burrell, who has been in real estate for 35 years in the area. “However, with the location, the hill slides when it rains can be quite dangerous.” The winding streets and ample lots provide plenty of space for residents to take in the beauty of Southern California. The neighborhood provides the hiking of a mountain village with the convenience of a modern suburb.

Homes in the millions
Baldwin Hills residents are paying for the location, and the prices reflect that. Single-family homes range from just under $1 million to well over $2 million. The majority of the homes are mid-century ranch-style builds with well-manicured lawns. “Homes are set very close to the street,” says Roth Burrell. Most have garages for private parking and wide sidewalks, making it easy to take the dog out on a walk. With 70% of the population renting, it’s no surprise that apartment buildings dot the neighborhood’s landscape. Condos and townhomes are also available, beginning at $400,000 and ranging to $700,000.
