Mount Washington Homeowners Association Boosts Property Values
When communities come together, they can do great things. Take the Mount Washington neighborhood of Northeast Los Angeles, for instance. Residents banded together long ago to create what’s called the Mount Washington Homeowners Association. This alliance citizens who care about their home values and community has added real value to home values in the opinion of local real estate pros like Ralph Guerin who sell Mount Washington homes.
One of the most interesting things this group of homeowners has done is to create an archive of the oral and written history of the area, going back quite a few years to some of the elderly residents who lived there in the early 1900s. This ability to preserve stories from the “exclusive” neighborhood (exclusive in the sense that it is desirable and supply is limited, but prices are still very reasonable) has given a real sense of community to residents and a heritage worth passing down to future generations.
Only a few minutes from Silverlake, Mt. Washington homes make a great place to live for those needing to commute to nearby Burbank, Glendale, or Pasadena. Of course, the freeways are close by for those who need to go a bit farther, but by all accounts, the quiet bedroom community makes a nice place to come home to at the end of the day.
