Ladera Heights blends community and access to LA
In a scenic Southern California landscape south of the Baldwin Hills, the Ladera Heights neighborhood is known for its community closeness, its beautiful old homes and its celebrity residents over the years, including Vanessa Williams and Tyler, the Creator. “There’s a sense of community and a rich architectural history that’s still intact,” says Realtor Sam Araghi of Compass, who lives and works in Ladera Heights. “You also have a lot of multigenerational households. It’s one of those places where you’ll see people who’ve lived here for many, many years.” Ladera Heights is close to all that Los Angeles has to offer. NFL games and concerts at SoFi Stadium are just around that corner in Inglewood, while major employers in downtown LA are about 10 miles northeast.

Well-kept homes from the mid-1900s
The neighborhood’s first homes took shape in the 1940s in what residents call Old Ladera. Newer areas include homes custom-built by prominent architects in the 60s and some modern homes built in the 80s and beyond. You’ll see an array of styles from 1950s Cape Cods to cozy 1960s ranch homes and summery Mission Revival style homes. Larger midcentury homes with multipitch rooflines and bright Craftsman-inspired homes can also be found here. While the housing stock is older, the homes tend to be in good condition. “There are a lot of very well maintained ‘time-capsule homes’ that look exactly as they did in the 1950s and 60s. Most of these homes are owner occupied. People take pride in ownership here,” Araghi says. Home prices range from as low as $650,000 for smaller homes that may need some improvements, while well-maintained and renovated homes can easily top $2 million.
