A mix of residential and industrial streets
Not to be confused with the fictional Colorado town or even the dense commercial area of the same name that sits just a few miles north in Downtown LA, South Park is a neighborhood in South Los Angeles. "South Park has its own character and is a nice, quiet neighborhood, but mostly it's all about price and affordability," says Luis Martinez, a Realtor with VIP Real Estate Firm, who has nearly 15 years of experience in the industry. Situated near historic Central Avenue and the University of Southern California, this residential enclave features cozy streets, nearby green spaces and a range of locally owned businesses.

Craftsman-style bungalows on modest lots
Craftsman-style bungalows surrounded by ornate fencing are a common sight. However, potential owners aren’t always married to the currently available homes: “The land value is definitely there,” says Monica Swift, a real estate agent with Swift Realty. “You see many people moving in to remodel or even rebuild.” Buyers can score a fixer-upper between the $300,000s to the $400,000s to a newly renovated bungalow between the $500,000s to the $700,000s. Apartments and multiunit properties also cater to the large number of renters in the area. Depending on the size and condition, duplexes, triplexes and larger multiunit options can sell for as high as $1.7 million.
