Alberto Carvalho Lists Home for Sale Amid Investigation

Alberto Carvalho is preparing to depart Los Angeles after a rather tumultuous few months.

The former LAUSD commissioner, facing scrutiny, has put his upscale San Pedro residence on the market for $1.899 million, as reported by the California Post.

This listing is just a piece of his extensive real estate portfolio, which includes various properties in Florida. It seems like Carvalho, who stepped down after the FBI raided his office and homes, is ready to move on from Southern California.

Previously, he was spotted moving about in his rooftop garden, opting for a low-key, somewhat isolated lifestyle. He even made an appearance in May with his wife, Maria, while they were shopping at a local Von’s.

During one of those outings, Maria was seen smiling as Carvalho pushed a cart filled with groceries, which he later carried inside their home after driving back.

When questioned about the ongoing investigation against him, Carvalho offered only a smile and mentioned, “I’m talking to my lawyer at this point.”

His San Pedro home has been characterized as a “masterfully reimagined 1920s Craftsman,” boasting details that feel like a “private coastal preserve.”

The listing promotes the house as meticulously renovated, with premium materials used throughout. It features a backyard complete with a fire pit and impressive views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island.

This residence offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and spans around 2,000 square feet, situated on a lot of 5,628 square feet and built in 1928.

Neighbors have shared mixed experiences regarding Carvalho. One resident, John Shafer, recalled a rather odd moment when he encountered Carvalho climbing into his backyard while carrying a lawnmower. Shafer described Carvalho as assertive and said he was trying to trim some bushes.

“It was definitely a strange experience. It happened early on in his time as superintendent,” Shafer recounted to the Post.

He ended up assisting Carvalho, even mentioning burying a cat there, which held sentimental value for him.

It remains uncertain whether Carvalho plans to permanently leave Los Angeles. He has already been succeeded as superintendent by longtime district administrator Andres Chait. Additionally, a confidential letter sent to Carvalho indicated that the board had possible grounds for his dismissal.
