It is only one block walk to top rated Valentine elementary school, Huntington middle school, and the beautiful public library. Although located in a quiet, serene neighborhood, it is located just a short, smooth drive to the downtown LA area business district.
We have always had long term tenants, generally 6+ years. Leases are month-to-month since the rent payments are monthly.
