Elysian fields — and hills

REAL ESTATE • Sold

In honor of opening day at Dodger Stadium, today, we appraise the real estate offerings in the Chavez Ravine-adjacent Elysian Heights area of Echo Park. This hilly, tiny micro-neighborhood isn’t generally a place for blockbuster deals — the most expensive property to trade here in the past year was this good-looking redwood-clad midcentury house (above), built in 1950 and sold for $2.8M in April 2023. 

But this year, people are playing ball in the Elysian Heights market, including at these three houses that have sold in 2024 — with two of them going for more than six figures over initial ask, and one after dropping nearly $200K in price.
