June 30, 2009 – 11:51 am

It is slim pickings this week due to the upcoming 4thof July holiday weekend. Since there is not a whole lot new in West Hollywood (with the exception of  The Vue- see below) or Beverly Hills, I am going to make my way downtown to see what’s happening with all these new high-rises that are popping up.

Rock Prop of the Day - Sunset Strip/WeHo - 2br/2ba - $719,000

June 24, 2009 – 11:47 am

This is definitely your quintessential rock and roll, Sunset Strip bachelor pad. Located on Larrabee, just west of Sunset Plaza, you are literally a short stroll from everything that the Strip has to offer. What I liked about this unit is that it feels high quality: dark hardwood floors, very cool kitchen with chrome accented [...]

June 23, 2009 – 3:44 pm

Today’s Hot Prop made the cut for a few different reasons. The units are well located on Fountain and Crescent Heights which puts you in walking distance to basically everything that’s cool on both the Sunset Strip as well as Santa Monica Blvd. The units themselves are very traditionally laid out with a large living [...]

Rich Kids Sunday Open House Guide - Third Edition - 6/14/09

June 13, 2009 – 1:34 pm

As I had mentioned in a post earlier this week, I have noticed that there has been a lack of slick, well priced condos/single family homes for under $700,000 in the West Hollywood area over the last couple of weeks. Although this is the case, there are definitely still some cool properties to check out! WARNING - [...]

June 8, 2009 – 8:31 pm

The Lux 925 marries uber cool chic with high quality materials and manages to achieve something often lacking in many new construction projects - a very usable, well flowing floor plan. I was blown away when I walked through the door of these town homes last week. Featuring dark espresso hardwood floors, floor to ceiling windows, a massive [...]

June 8, 2009 – 7:51 pm

As I have mentioned on here before, I absolutely love inexpensive, high quality things! I mean, who doesn’t. I have friends who swear by Ross and Marshalls for great deals on clothing.
