Stanford Terrace 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 recreation/meeting room with some complexes boasting saunas, tennis/sport courts and other amenities.

This desirable close-in location offers a relatively easy commute to Downtown Los Angeles, the Valleys(San Gabriel and San Fernando) and Los Angeles’ Westside.   Due to it close proximity to USC School of Medicine/Health Service Campus, many find Monterey Hills an excellent opportunity to purchase and live during residency or as an investment property.  Despite the highly convenient location, Monterey Hills remains a bit of an undiscovered treasure.


Monterey Hills - March Market Monthly Report 2012 vs 2011

In March 2012, there were eight sales according to our local multiple listing service records in Monterey Hills.  They ranged in price from $160,000(a one bedroom in Wilson Summit) to $465,000(a short sale in Bradley Court) with an average monthly sales price of $288,363(median price $242,500).   In March 2011 the sales price ranged from $224,000 to $393,900 and an average sales price of $286,613(median price $246,000).

Currently there are eleven properties on the market for sale ranging in price from $229,000(bank owned unit in Eaton Crest) to $385,000(Portola Terrace townhome).   My March 2011 market report showed 37 units on the market -- obviously inventory of homes available in Monterey Hills -- needs a Spring Push!   There are seven properties in escrow.
