Looking Up At Rossmoyne

The are two marketing angles utilized for nearly every home in this Glendale neighborhood flirting with historic status. “Panorama” and “city views”, are words ably espoused of the prized lines of sight afforded by the advantageous hillside altitude. Even the street names themselves serve to freely advertise, with “vista” and “view” aplenty here. The other most touted asset is the sparse density of the community in the form of buzzwords like “private”, “tranquil” and “secluded”.

The homes nestled in Rossmoyne’s winding ridges are spacious (often 3000+ sq.ft.) with a high area median in excess of $1 million. Helping to uphold the bar are beauties like 1515 REMAH VISTA DR (pictured), a gorgeous custom built mansion fairly quickly sold to the tune of $3,250,000, walking away with only a minor 1.3% hit on its original asking. The sellers managed to move all 6034 square foot for an impressive $539 a pop. Though remodeled in 06, it doesn’t quite explain how the previous owners managed to snag the property for $190,000 only 8 years ago. Some other past Rossmoyne sales to peruse:
