More Under $600,000 In Westchester
With the prices of some homes falling in Westchester, I thought I’d take a look at more properties under the $600,000 mark.
First on my list is 5601 W. 78th St., which is right at the top of the 6K cutoff, with an asking price of $599,900. There are three bedrooms and one and three-quarter baths. This REO is kind of interesting because it has a 1,456 square foot home on a 12,400+ square foot lot (11,796 square foot according to Property Shark). It looks like you can easily fit an NBA-sized basketball court there (94′x50′) next to the house. You can add on and make the home bigger. Or perhaps you could check with the building department to see if the lot could get split in two. Incidentally, this home has dropped in price since its last appearance as a “More For Your Money” home back in April.
Here are a few others:
8934 Fleetwing is a cute-looking (at least from the outside) three-bedroom, one-bathroom starter with 1,149 square feet. This one has a price tag of $575,000.
8436 Belford needs some effort – like putting in a complete kitchen and some flooring. You do have 1,675 square feet of space to start with and a decent-sized 6,206 square foot lot. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms and it’s going for $559,900.

There are certainly a wide variety of differences between areas within Westchester. Some areas may be considered more desirable to some folks than others. The bluffs are part of the most expensive market. Areas in the west and by Loyola University tend to be more desirable neighborhoods.
Osage, which occupies the east portion of Westchester is, in my opinion, a mixed-bag. There are some pockets that are more appealing than others.
In my opinion, I would not equate east of Sepulveda in Westchester with “the hood”.
I’m curious for anyone else who knows this area. Are there areas you would definitely avoid? And why?

The section E of Sepulveda and S of Manchester is not good. Unless you like looking up at the bellies of jets coming in to land at LAX. I would definitely avoid this area.
E of Sepulveda and N of Manchester is OK. North of La Tijera is better. However, E of Sepulveda is generally not as affluent as the other side.
There is a small section of 90045 that’s E of the 405 along La Tijera. That section is also mixed. There is a small pocket of nice single family homes there S of La Tijera and W of La Cienega.
