Graceful and Comfortable Los Angeles City Lights View Properties

The stately and cultivated Los Angeles luxury residential market is irregularly shaped and covers a total area of over 500 square miles, comprising over 460 square miles of land and 34 square miles of water.The city of Los Angeles extends for over 40 miles longitudinally and for 29 miles (47 km) latitudinally. The perimeter of the city is 342 miles. Los Angeles is both flat and hilly. The highest point in the city proper is over 5,000 ft Mount Lukens located at the northeastern end of the San Fernando Valley. The eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains stretches from Downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean and separates the Los Angeles Basin from the San Fernando Valley. Other hilly parts of Los Angeles include the Mount Washington area north of Downtown, eastern parts such as Boyle Heights, the Crenshaw District around the Baldwin Hills, and the San Pedro district. Surrounding the city are much higher mountains. Immediately to the north lie the San Gabriel Mountains, which is a popular recreation area for Angelenos. Its high point is Mount San Antonio, locally known as Mount Baldy, which reaches 10,064 feet (3,068 m). Further afield, the highest point in the greater Los Angeles area is San Gargonio, with a height of 11,503 feet (3,506 m). The Los Angeles river, which is largely seasonal, is the primary drainage channel. It was straightened and lined in 51 miles (82 km) of concrete by the Army Corps of Engineers to act as a flood control channel. The river begins in the Canoga Park district of the city, flows east from the San Fernando Valley along the north edge of the Santa Monica Mountains, and turns south through the city center, flowing to its mouth in the Port of Long Beach at the Pacific Ocean. The smaller Ballona Creek flows into the Santa Monica Bay at Playa Del Rey.

 

The enticing and tempting Los Angeles semi-custom homes for sale are found in a city is that is divided into over 80 districts and neighborhoods, many of which were incorporated places or communities that merged into the city. These neighborhoods were developed piecemeal, and are well-defined enough that the city has signage marking nearly all of them. The charismatic and captivating Los Angeles real estate market is divided into the following areas: East Los Angeles, Northeast Los Angeles, Downtown Los Angeles, South Los Angeles, Greater Hollywood, Wilshire, The Harbor Area, the Westside, and the San Fernando Valley. The street pattern of the grand and venerable Los Angeles residential market generally follows a grid plan, with uniform block lengths and occasional roads that cut across blocks. However, this is complicated by rugged terrain, which has necessitated having different grids for each of the valleys that Los Angeles covers. Major streets where the fascinating and engaging Los Angeles properties are found are designed to move large volumes of traffic through many parts of city; many of them are extremely long. Los Angeles is strongly characterized by the presence of Los Angeles low-rise penthouses, townhomes, lofts and condos buildings. Outside of a few areas such as Warner Center and Koreatown, Los Angeles condos in skyscrapers and high-rise luxury condos are not common. The few skyscrapers that are built outside of those areas often stand out above the rest of the surrounding landscape. Most construction is done in separate units, rather than wall-to-wall.

The inviting and enchanting Los Angeles luxury homes for sale are found in a city that is served by an extensive network of freeways and highways. The TTI, which publishes an annual Urban Mobility Report, ranked Los Angeles road traffic as the most congested in the United States in 2005 as measured by annual delay per traveler. The average traveler in Los Angeles in the trendy and fashionable Los Angeles real estate market experienced over 70 hours of traffic delay per year according to the study. Los Angeles was followed by Atlanta, Washington D.C. and San Francisco. Despite the congestion in the city, the mean travel time for commuters in Los Angeles is shorter than other major cities, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York City. Los Angeles' mean travel time for work commutes in 2006 was 29.2 minutes, similar to those of San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Among the major highways that connect the Los Angeles residential market to the rest of the nation include Interstate 5, which runs south through San Diego to Tijuana in Mexico and north through Seattle, Portland and Seattle. Interstate 10, the southernmost east–west, coast-to-coast in the United States, going to Florida; and US Route 101, which heads to the California Central Coast, San Francisco, the Redwood Empire and the Oregon and Washington coasts.
