Downtown Area Highlight: Arts District

Downtown really is its own world. While prices have gone up around the country in most cities (5.1% from 2015!), DTLA is in my opinion one of the most exciting and resilient places. Even after the crash of 2008, prices have been steadily rebounding and are now well past the 2007 height. More residents are living in the area. New businesses have arrived. And each week seems to bring about another exciting development.

One of the most thriving areas is the Arts District. I highlight the area because it has seen some serious value gains because of the exciting development and the lack of inventory. There are only FIVE loft/condo buildings in the Arts District, which is keeping demand high. In addition, some of the most exciting developments and destinations are happening in the area: SOHO House, Hauser Wirth Schimmel, At Mateo, Oficine  Brera, Bestia, The Row DTLA, and The Garey Lofts, Church & State, Shinola, Grow, Everson Royce Bar, La Kretz Innovator.
