Monterey Hills is a well hidden secret. Set right next to Pasadena, and bordered by South Pasadena, Highland Park and El Sereno, most people living in Pasadena know nothing about this area unless theyre fortunate to drive through it by accident or have a friend that lives there.
If you take Pasadena Freeway, 110 and exit Via Marisol, take a right turn, past the stop light, you will head up a rolling hill which will take you through Monterey Hills. Most complexes are on Via Marisol itself, with some on Via Arbolada and Via Colina.
The location is superb - conveniently located only 7 miles from downtown LA (freeway or streets), about 10 minutes from Old Town Pasadena and minutes away from 110, 101, 10, 134, 5 and 210 freeways.
Monterey Hills community consists of mainly condo and townhome complexes, although a couple of PUDs (Planned Unit Developments) have been built in the last several years. Most of the units were built by J.D. Carley and Associates in the early to mid 1980s.
Monterey Hills is known to be home for professionals working in downtown LA, USC students, USC and Kaiser hospital staff. It is pet friendly and even has a park for dogs.
Its truly a great place to live and wonderful for investment since rentals are always in demand in Monterey Hills.

Leave a comment » Monterey Hills California - Real Estate Sales and Statistics for March 2009Inventory and statistics information for Monterey Hills condos and townhomesIf you are a buyer looking for condos in Monterey Hills, you are totally out of luck! There is no inventory!!! Monterey Hills condos have always been a great investment and are easy to rent due to its proximity to USC Medical Center and downtown LA. Smart home owners are holding on to their investments and waiting to sell since the property values lost about 10% in equity over the last six months. On average Monterey Hills condos were selling at about $300 per sq. ft. and have been fluctuating around $270 or so. If you don't have to sell, why should you when you can easily rent and wait for the real estate market to turn around! We are seeing multiple offers and lack of inventory all over Pasadena and South Pasadena and Monterey Hills is right behind these neighborhoods. In March 2009, Monterey Hills had only 6 condos for sale and 1 townhome. Pretty amazing considering that there are over 1780 housing units on the hill. You can still get a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo for only $239,000 and be next to South Pasadena and Pasadena. Just take a look at the condos in Monterey Hills under $300,000. Curious to see last month's Monterey Hills report?

2 comments » Monterey Hills Condos: Real Estate Market Report for February 2009Monterey Hills inventory is down again for February 2009Monterey Hills inventory of condos and townhomes is becoming non-existent. Considering that there are close to 1,800 housing units on the hill, only 7 condos and 3 townhomes were available for sale in February. 2008 saw only 36 Monterey Hills condos and townhomes sold - about 3 a month. That number was significantly lower from just 3 years ago of 99 sales in 2005. Monterey Hills has always been a great investment for property owners looking to rent their units. The proximity to USC and downtown LA makes these condos easy to rent. This could explain the decreased number of sales as owners are taking advantage of the easy rentals and holding on to their property until the market turns around. Here are statistics for Monterey Hills Real Estate for December 2008 through February 2009:

Leave a comment » Monterey Hills Condos and Townhomes Report for January 2009Monterey Hills housing report for November 2008 through January 2009Monterey Hills condo and townhome inventory is almost non-existent in January. Two new condos came up on the market and two condos closed escrow. Only one townhome is available for sale on the hill. Considering there are 21 condo complexes with close to 1,800 condo and townhome units, the supply of condos isn't quite there. The demand is not quite there as well with price per square foot falling to $277.
It'll be interesting to track the developments on the hill over the next few months. In the meantime, here're Monterey Hills statistics for the last three months:
