Clean, Bright, and Ready for You. Updated 2 Bed Bungalow Near Figueroa Blvd. Welcome to this freshly updated 2 bedroom, 1 bath home. Sits just a few blocks from the heartbeat of Highland Park close to Figueroa Boulevard, where the nightlife never sleeps… and apparently, neither do some of the locals.

Features include: New dual-pane windows that keep things quiet and energy efficient, perfect for LA life. Fresh vinyl flooring throughout, modern, durable, and pet/party friendly. A bright open living area that’s just waiting for your plants. A low-water front yard, because let’s face it, nobody’s got time to mow in this heat. A covered carport that doubles as shade for your car or your next barbecue setup. The location, close to shops, freeways, and all the action on Figueroa, but tucked on a residential street that still feels like home. Los Angeles, CA. Clean lines, new finishes, and zero pretension, just an easy, move-in-ready LA home that does what it says on the tin. This home offers charm, character, and a front-row seat to LA’s most colorful part of town.
