WeHo West

Lots of good comments recently. When I get some more time in the next week or so, I'm going to try and do a comparison of a few neighborhoods and take a look at some data to try and answer that $64 question of "where are we headed?"

In the meantime, how about some real estate porn? The "crown jewel" of our little area to some, a/k/a "land of the snobs" to others, the neighborhood known as "West Hollywood West".

In looking at some of the SFR listings in WeHo West, and thinking about that "where are we headed" question, it's difficult to get an apples-to-apples because, like its truly Western brethren in Beverly Hills or Santa Monica, there's been a whole lotta scrapin' going on in the past 10 years.

Enjoy ...
