Life in the Hills
A place that celebrities like Ray Charles and Tina Turner once called home, Baldwin Hills is an upscale neighborhood around 9 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.

Most have garages for private parking and wide sidewalks, making it easy to take the dog out on a walk.
