Your Guide to Northeast Los Angeles;
the Hottest Real Estate Market in Southern California

Welcome to Silverwood Properties, your friendly neighborhood Realtors for Echo Park, Highland Park, Mount Washington and surrounding areas, the region often now referred to as "Northeast Los Angeles."

Soft market notwithstanding, the Northeast Los Angeles area is the hottest area for Real Estate in Southern California, with multiple offers on homes and increasing home values (yes, in 2007!). The reason: Downtown Los Angeles is currently experiencing a tremendous makeover, and has become a huge center for commerce and culture for Southern California.

So, with the advent of this change, combined with surging gas prices and ever-increasing freeway congestion, Angelinos are in search of an attractive, safe community that is conveniently close to the action. The Northeast Los Angeles area fits that description to a tee.

Northeast Los Angeles, which includes Echo Park, Highland Park, Mount Washington, Eagle Rock, Silverlake, Glassell Park, and extends up to Pasadena and Glendale, has experienced considerable commercial and residential "gentrification" in recent years, attracting musicians, artists, young singles, gays and entertainment industry workers. The area has also seen the influx of a variety of trendy new clubs, restaurants and retail storefronts.
