Ladera Heights:  Located just east of Culver City and just south of Westchester, Ladera Heights is one of Westside Los Angeles' best kept secrets.  Developed as an upscale community in the 1960s, Ladera Heights retains its pristine allure and is sought after for its enviable close location to all the Los Angeles hubs.  While offering its residents access to all the amenities of a major metropolitan area, Ladera Heights maintains its suburban feel.  It is home to less than 5,000 residents who enjoy the community's easy access to all Southern California has to offer.  The community is just minutes from the beaches of Santa Monica, Playa del Rey and Marina del Rey; the cultural and entertainment activities of Los Angeles and Hollywood; and the recreational opportunities of the local mountains.  The city is home to many Los Angeles personalities from the sports and entertainment industries.  Most of the homes are ranch style and feature from three to five bedrooms.  Many are on large lots and boast over 2,000 square feet with dual fireplaces.  During the 1990s, a tract of new homes was built featuring modern floor plans and amenities with many featuring panoramic views of the city.  Robert Pitts of Ladera Estates Realty Co. was a very intricate part of the beginning sales and remains one of the top realtors in the area.  A select few condominiums and townhouses are available beginning at $450,000.  Single-family homes start at $900,000 and range up to $1.6 million and more.  In the "Old Ladera" section of the city, prices for more modest homes are slightly lower, beginning at $650,000 and ranging up to $800,000.

Ladera Heights is truly the best kept secret in Los Angeles.  Contact Robert Pitts for more details at (310) 915-6500 ext. 116 or rpitts9600@aol.com
