Budd Weiner Park in Monterey Hills


The Monterey Hills community is located within the city limits of Los Angeles and offers a variety of condominiums, townhomes and one single family development in a planned environment.  Most communities within Monterey Hills offer a pool, spa and a recreation/meeting room with some complexes boasting saunas, tennis/sports courts and other amenities.  

The desirable close-in location offers a relatively easy commute to Downtown Los Angeles, the San Gabriel and San Fernando Valleys and Los Angeles' Westside.  Despite this highly convenient location, Monterey Hills remains somewhat of a hidden treasure unknown to many.   In 2011 a new grocery store, Fresco Community Market opened in the community of Hermon just down the hill from Monterey Hills on Monterey Road between Via Marisol and Avenue 60

The first communities in Monterey Hills were constructed in 1979 with Bradley Court the 16 unit single family community constructed in 2000. Other communities range in size from 20 units to 198 units. Condominiums are generally one bedroom to two bedroom/den floor plans and range in square footage from approximately 650 square feet to over 1500 square feet with subterranean parking. Townhomes with private garages have either two or three bedrooms and some have bonus rooms, dens and additional storage.

Hi Michael.  Monterey Hills looks like such a nice neighborhood.  I love the stucco and the tile roofs.  Have a wonderful Sunny day.

Kymberly - Monterey Hills is a great place to live although many are hard pressed to know where it is.   It is truly a hidden secret yet amazingly close to Downtown Los Angeles.

Belinda - it is a great neighborhood with some amazing views too.  

Barbara - thanks for the good wishes(back at you too!).   Thanks for the thoughts and if I ever have a call for a referral to Newport, Oregon area you'll be the one I call.

Michael, I have gone back and looked at several of your market reports.  Excellent job.  I know Google is screaming at me to do more of them but some reason I seem to push them to the back burner.  My bad.  Thanks for the good job on your market report and prompting me to take note and get to work on mine!

Best regards from the Q

John - I appreciate your kind words and for stopping by and commenting.   I have received telephone and email inquiries that seem to indicate that the market reports and community information brought the prospects to me -- for 2012, I am looking to improve and strive for a more consistent effort.

Michelle - since Monterey Hills is residential only, there's not a lot of reasons for some to simply discover it by accident --- I have shown the area to long time residents who have told me "why didn't I ever know this place exists?".
