A cozy spot in Southern California is up for grabs at just $749,000, though prospective buyers might want to put on their walking shoes.
This two-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow, listed 11 days ago, offers 770 square feet of bright living space along with a backyard that could be great for gatherings.
Situated in the Elysian Park/Chinatown area, it’s just a short walk from Dodger Stadium. If you’re a baseball aficionado, this might be your dream home—but be ready for the stadium crowds.
That said, the property lacks some essentials that could be tricky in a city where cars dominate. It’s worth noting there’s neither a garage nor a driveway here.
While the listing boasts impressive “walking scores” and “traffic scores,” car owners might find themselves hunting for street parking every day. It’s a bit of a trade-off.
A video showcasing the property, created by Franco Elite Realty Group, gained some attention. The absence of private parking definitely stands out, especially given the sub-$800,000 price tag—making other homes in the area seem comparatively expensive.
Built in 1922, the interior of this bungalow has been updated for modern tastes, complete with sleek cabinetry, hardwood floors, and plenty of kitchen counter space.
Both central air and heating have been improved as well. Maybe the biggest draw is the outdoor area, which includes a front porch and a terraced backyard that offers stunning views of the city.
Parking may be a bit of a hassle, but the location is a real perk. With nightlife, restaurants, and transportation just steps away, it’s particularly appealing for people who rely on public transit, rideshare, or simply walking.
However, in Los Angeles, the absence of garages might help explain why homes here can cost under $1,000 per square foot.
