It’s no secret LA real estate is pricey. But here’s the thing—if you’re willing to look beyond the usual Westside and Eastside suspects, Baldwin Hills is one of those neighborhoods where you can still land a seriously stylish home without the Beverly Hills price tag.
Take this mid-century modern stunner as an example. Clean lines, walls of glass, and wide-open views that stretch across the city—it’s basically the California dream house. And the best part? It’s listed at a price that feels like a smart move compared to what you’d pay for the same thing in Hollywood Hills, Venice, West Hollywood or Silverlake to name a few.
Why Baldwin Hills Should Be on Your List
More house for your money
Median home prices hover in the low $1Ms. Yes, that’s still LA expensive, but in neighborhoods like Venice or Beverly Hills, a view home like this would start at double (or triple) the price.
The views + the green space
Hiking at Kenneth Hahn State Park, sunsets from Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, the architectural charm of Village Green—this part of LA gives you outdoor space and skyline views without sacrificing city access.
Design variety
Mid-century gems, classic condos, and even new mixed-use projects—Baldwin Hills has range. The neighborhood’s roots run deep in LA history, but it’s also evolving with bold, modern development.
Future growth
With the Metro K Line opening up new connections and projects like the 800-unit Baldwin Village complex (yep, the one literally built above a Costco), the area is on the rise.
The Takeaway
If you’re searching for a home in Los Angeles that blends style, space, and long-term value, Baldwin Hills deserves a spot on your radar. It’s one of those rare pockets where you can still find architectural character and big views at a price that makes sense. This home is listed by my colleagues, Courtney Poulous and Taylor Johnson at ACME. If you are interested in seeing it contact me at 310-422-1022 and I will get you in.
