There are occassionaly really special homes for sale like the craftsman home we recently sold at 1323 Cota which was once owned by the Torrance family and sat on an incredible 10,000+ foot lot. Not all homes in the area are historic and there are some post WWII tract type homes as well as lots in which the homes were knocked down at some point to make way for new homes or townhomes. There are also some larger townhome or condo complexes in the areas as well. In general driving down these fantastic streets is like going back in time.
