Bird Streets Hollywood Hills

John Merritt — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 22:47:01 +0000

The “Bird Streets” is an exclusive enclave of homes in the Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles, located north of Sunset Blvd between Hillcrest Road in Beverly Hills and Rising Glen and Sunset Plaza in the Hollywood Hills. The Bird Streets are residence to many celebrities, producers, directors and other high profile individuals in the entertainment industry, and former and notable residents in the area have included Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston and Keanu Reeves, among others. As you might have already guessed, the reason this area is known as the Bird Streets is because all of the streets in the area come with names like Blue Jay Way, Oriole Dr, Bluebird Ave, Flicker Place, Thrasher Ave and Skylark Lane, just to name a few.

One of the reasons this area has become so desirable among celebrities is the close proximity to the Sunset Strip, as well as being a short distance to Beverly Hills, Hollywood and all of the major studios. But in addition to the location, the area boasts some of the most breathtaking city views to be found anywhere in the Hollywood Hills. One other feature that makes this area so attractive to the elite crowd is the stunning architecture that can be found in the area. If you are looking for a “wow” house with floor to ceiling windows, open floor plans and modern or contemporary style homes, this is the place to find it!

Because it has become so exclusive to live in the Bird Streets, home prices are some of the highest that can be found anywhere in the LA area, including Beverly Hills. On a price per square foot basis, sales of over $1,000, $1,500 and even $2,000 a square foot are a routine occurrence, even in the post-bubble market. On an absolute basis, for the last couple of years sales have ranged from about $1,500,000 on the low end to over $10,000,000 on the high end. One sale in 2010 on Oriole Dr went out for just under $20,000,000, which is a testament to how desirable this area really is!

Listed below are all homes currently for sale in Doheny corridor area north of the Sunset Strip which includes the Bird Streets. As a real estate agent who specializes in luxury homes in the LA area, I would be more than happy to assist you in purchasing a home in the Bird Streets or any one of the other exclusive communities from Beverly Hills to Bel Air to Calabasas.

John Merritt — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:27:00 +0000

Bel Air Crest is a guard gated community in Bel Air, CA. As the community of Bel Air itself is not gated, security conscious individuals often will prefer the security features found within a gated community. In the Bel Air and Beverly Hills area, the four main guard gated communities are Bel Air Crest, Beverly Park, The Summit, and Mulholland Estates. For those who desire closer access to the 405 Freeway Century City, and the Bel Air Country Club, Bel Air Crest is often the first choice.

Bel Air Crest consists of over 200 home sites, ranging in size from approximately 2,400 square feet all the way up to 15,000 square feet in the custom estates area of the community. Home sales prices in Bel Air Crest since about 2010 have generally been starting in the $1,500,000 range and have sold for over $7,000,000.

The Oaks Gated Community Calabasas

John Merritt — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 00:16:32 +0000

The Oaks is a guard gated luxury community located in Calabasas, CA, and one of my favorite gated communities in the LA area. In addition to top notch security, The Oaks has many great community features including miles of hiking trails, a fitness center and gym with state of the art equipment, tennis courts and an olympic sized swimming pool.

The Oaks was developed with most homes completing construction from about 2002 to 2007, so it is one of the newer gated communities in the Los Angeles metro area. It is in an excellent location, with close proximity to highly rated schools, great restaurants and shopping, and offers a relaxing slower paced lifestyle than what you might find closer to the center of Los Angeles.

While homes in The Oaks vary in size and price, in general homes can be found in the 3,500 to 5,500 square foot range, with larger custom estate sized homes of 10,000 square feet and more in the Oaks Estates. Home prices in the Oaks generally start in the $1,500,000 to $1,600,000 range, with estate homes selling for $5,000,000 or more.

Listed below are all homes currently for sale in The Oaks Calabasas. As a real estate agent who specializes in luxury homes in the LA area, I would be more than happy to assist you in purchasing a home in The Oaks or any one of the other exclusive gated communities from Beverly Hills to Bel Air to Calabasas.

Anna Nicole Lives On – On The Sunset Strip!

John Merritt — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 04:44:50 +0000

Ok so I don’t usually do personal posts not related to real estate on my website, but I decided to make an exception in this case because I took a photo today and I really like how it came out so I decided to share it.

And now for the photo (drum roll)….

You may recognize this photo as Anna Nicole Smith from one of her GUESS ads from years ago. This photo is actually of a photo of Anna Nicole which currently graces the side of the City National Bank building on the Sunset Strip on the Beverly Hills / West Hollywood border just west of Doheny.

Anyway, when I first saw her photo on the side of this building I was sort of awe stuck because 1.) I really liked Anna Nicole, and 2.) there is something very cool, and sort an artistic or creative genius about posting a 7 story photo of a deceased former GUESS model appearing in a very sexy pose on the side of a conservative institution such as a bank, on the Sunset Strip, possibly the most iconic street in the entertainment capitol of the world. And this is a stunningly beautiful photo of her and one of my favorites. In my opinion it’s brilliant, especially considering it went up right around the 5 year anniversary of her death (wow, has it really been 5 years already??). I think it’s quite a tribute to a person who fascinated so many, and who’s life was cut so short and in such a tragic way.

On a related topic, I do see Larry Birkhead around Studio City on occasion. I often work out of the Starbucks in Studio City, and over the summer I would see him there pretty regularly, usually off in the back working on his laptop. I was always tempted to say hello to him just to meet him and wish him and his daughter Dannilynn well, but having been born and raised in LA I was always taught it was in bad etiquette to approach celebrities or public figures and bother them while they are going about their business. So, obeying the LA-native protocol of not acting like an idiot or stalker, I contained myself and decided to give Larry a break and not to be a pain in the ass .

Anyway I pretty much could care less about 99.9% of advertising, but props to the people at GUESS for this great ad of a past ad. I think it is VERY cool and I hope they leave it up for awhile!
