Flipping through the westside Real Estate section of the weekend LA Times, seems the average house sells for low- to mid- 6 figures. It's pretty slim pickings for anything less than $1M.
I live in one of those post-war neighborhoods. Nondesript Valley suburbia. Everything looks the Mellenthin-same. I walked through 80-100 homes before I bought. Probably 80%-90% of them were built within 5 years of 1951. Pre-WWII my "neighborhood" was all orange groves. 20 years later it was all developed.
