Hello, Small Lot

With limited single family housing inventory for sale, the rental market in Los Angeles the least affordable it has ever been, and with median single family home prices on the rise, how do you become a first time home owner or scale down after retirement? The small lot subdivision ordinance was designed by the city of Los Angeles in 2005 with the goal of increasing density in urban areas, creating more affordable single family homes and boosting home ownership. Currently, these townhouse style residences have proven popular. Here are a few examples of projects in neighborhoods nearby to help introduce you small lot developments.
