Monterey Hills CA - September 2011 Sales Recap & Market Report

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 Valleys and Los Angeles' Westside.  Despite this highly convenient location, Monterey Hills remains somewhat of a hidden treasure unknown to many.  You will often find joggers, walkers and pet lovers along Via Marisol and Via Arbolada -- be mindful that if you use Via Mia -- you may not need to use your stairmaster.   Budd Weiner Park in the center of Monterey Hills is also the location for the Monterey Hills Jazz Festival and Community Yard Sale.

Michael,  Monterey Hills looks like a wonderful neighborhood.  I love the stucco and tile roofs.

Hi Belinda -- yes Monterey Hills is a true hidden treasure -- I hadn't realized the photos I had chosen all had tile roofs --- there is a little more diversity in the area.   Thanks as always for stopping by and leaving your comments.
