It is slim pickings this week due to the upcoming 4thof July holiday weekend. Since there is not a whole lot new in West Hollywood (with the exception of  The Vue- see below) or Beverly Hills, I am going to make my way downtown to see what's happening with all these new high-rises that are poppin...

This is definitely your quintessential rock and roll, Sunset Strip bachelor pad. Located on Larrabee, just west of Sunset Plaza, you are literally a short stroll from everything that the Strip has to offer. What I liked about this unit is that it feels high quality: dark hardwood floors, very coo...

Today's Hot Prop made the cut for a few different reasons. The units are well located on Fountain and Crescent Heights which puts you in walking distance to basically everything that's cool on both the Sunset Strip as well as Santa Monica Blvd. The units themselves are very traditionally laid out...

As I had mentioned yesterday, I am going to try to experiment with Twitter to gauge how useful it is in providing up to the minute info on the properties that I preview today. Side Note: Tuesday Caravan is when all the new properties are held open for agents to preview for their clients. This is ...

First and foremost, I want to apologize for the lack of posts these past seven days. Those of you who are loyal readers know that I do my best to try to update 4-5 times per week on what's happening in real estate and LA life.

As I had mentioned in a post earlier this week, I have noticed that there has been a lack of slick, well priced condos/single family homes for under $700,000 in the West Hollywood area over the last couple of weeks. Although this is the case, there are definitely still some cool properties to che...

Since Thursday is the new Friday to go out, I thought I would add some spice to this dreary LA morning with a guide to going out for my gay readers. I've personally reviewed each of the following and written my own little critique for your enjoyment!  When you're gay rich kid in LA, there are no...

If you have been following my blog, I usually always have at least one or two Hot Prop, best buy properties listed each week. I like to post listings that run the pricing spectrum to accommodate all of my readers and buyers. Lately there have been a lot of cool new developments sprouting up in th...

The Lux 925 marries uber cool chic with high quality materials and manages to achieve something often lacking in many new construction projects - a very usable, well flowing floor plan. I was blown away when I walked through the door of these town homes last week. Featuring dark espresso hardwood...

As I have mentioned on here before, I absolutely love inexpensive, high quality things! I mean, who doesn't. I have friends who swear by Ross and Marshalls for great deals on clothing. I've tried once, twice, thrice, but it's just not for me. As exciting as a five year old butter yellow Ed Hardy ...
