REAL ESTATE • Sold
In the 1920s, a building boom in newly laid-out Hancock Park saw many of the neighborhood’s (mostly Spanish and Tudor-style) homes rise. Flash forward a hundred years to the present, and the lush residential blocks see a mix of young families — lots of yoga mats, dogs, and middle-aged men loafing around in Nike Air Force 1s — alongside longtime residents of 40-plus years who love themselves a good zoning board meeting.
While the rare property sale in Hancock Park may bleed into eight figures (hello, Shonda Rhimes), many of the neighborhood’s single-family homes trade in the $2.5M-$4.5M band, as with these three recently closed sales, all of the aforementioned 1920s vintage:
