Yes, there are alot of great deals out on the market in and around the Los Feliz area. If you're wanting to live in an area comparable to Los Feliz, Silver Lake and Echo Park, you might want to look into Eagle Rock. Between Pasadena and Glendale. Beside the 2 freeway and the 134. You can be downtown in a few min and even the valley. Great area. I moved a lot of my clients from the Silver Lake, Los Feliz area to Eagle Rock. Home prices are great. Lots of land. Blue Ribbon School systems and amazing shops and resturants.

If you would like to learn more about the area, please e-mail or give me a call.

Hope to hear from you soon.

I'm sorry for my earlier grumpy answer , and I wish to apologize, for Trulia is not the place for frowns...its just that most of my dives have disappeared and have been converted into chi-chi night-spots with velvet ropes , bouncers and all that. Sorry. I'm just an old disgruntled hockey geezer from the 70s...Ahhhh....but what what does THAT tell you???? Any history majors out there? Does Athens in the Golden Age ring a bell??? THIS is what is brewing in Los Feliz ( and its surrounds) in the 21st century. So......what are you people waiting for???? Contact a real estate professional NOW!!! Where else can you buy or rent next to a Frank Lloyd Wright or Richard Neutra designed casa??? Where else can you bump into Beck or Flea or Tarantino at the local video store???

There are some great areas near Los Feliz which are just as hip and wonderful but more affordable. Some of those include Echo Park, Silverlake, Atwater Village, Eagle Rock, Montecito Heights and parts of Highland Park. Please let me know if I can be of assistance (818)422-1702 or (866)981-3438.

Hi Heather,
As has been mentioned, Los Feliz has a wide range of prices. Homes in the Los Feliz hills can sell for several million dollars, while homes in the "flats" of Los Feliz can be much more affodable... and also have the added benefit of often being walking distance from many of the great restaurants, cafes, bookstores, etc. in the neighborhood- many of which can be found on Vermont and Hillhurst avenues. You could definitely characterize Los Feliz as hip, and it is full of great dining and entertainment. Silver Lake, Echo Park, Atwater Village, and Eagle Rock are all more affordable and are also full of great restaurants, cafes, etc. You can still find great homes in Eagle Rock in the $500,000 - $800,000 range. We have good friends who bought there recently and love it. Same deal with Atwater Village. You can see more info on different neighborhoods on our website. Good luck with your search!

In answer to you question, yes, while prices are high in Los Feliz proper, there are many L.F. adjacent areas which are more affordable. Echo Park, South Silverlake, Elysian Valley, Atwater, South Glendale, East Hollywood, South Hollywood. Besides, most of the people you see having a good time drinking Lattes or hangin out in Los Feliz dont live in Los Feliz, but in the aforementioned places, or worse, the westside. Lots of affordable apartments.

I dont understand "up-and-coming"? What does that mean? Los Feliz has been a "hip" place since the 1920s. Perhaps you mean "up and coming" for all the clueless yuppies who are pouring in from all over the USA and discovering L.A. for the first time? It reminds me of the yuppie fellow who claimed he "discovered" the Zanja Madre, a place which had been a favorite play area for 5 generations of Angelenos. The epitome of cool and hip was actually born in or near Los Feliz, much cooler and hipper than any of the new "hot" yuppies emigrants....Henry Miller, Walt Disney, Charles Bukowski, Rudolf
Shindler , Richard Neutra and Art Pepper all hung out or lived here, and dozens of music, film, literary, political, finacial, and art luminaries have lived here since the 1910-20s. Actually, the current crop of hipsters are probably the least talented to move here.....but they sure do dress well....oh, waitaminute, they dress mostly in 60s retro....I think the 1960s Los Feliz hot rodders like Big Daddy Ed Roth would have something to say about that.

I think Silverlake and Echo Park are allegedly coming up and cheaper. IMHO San Pedro area has more room for upward growth. If it's aleady hip, it's probably expensive.

Hi Heather,
I agree... Los Feliz has not been up and coming for quite a few years. It has already come!

If you want to live in Los Feliz, the prices are pretty high... be prepared to spend on average around $850,000.

"Hip, up and coming" is relative. Someone on the westside might view Los Feliz/SilverLake/Echo Park as up and coming, while most Eastsiders know those areas have been coming up for years. They ARE hip, no matter where you're coming from. :) Price can be deceiving in the MLS because Atwater Village is lumped in with Los Feliz, and Atwater sells much lower.

Los Feliz used to be a glitzy, movie star filled neighborhood, but it lost some of its swank by the 70s. Thanks to Swingers, it started to get popular again in the mid-90s. There is a pretty diverse mix of housing in the neighborhood, so don't be deterred by the high average list price. According to Trulia, the range is $487K to $6.6 million!!
