Lofts For Sale and For Lease by ZIP Code and Locations Around L.A.
Map of Lofts Downtown Los Angeles
Live/work lofts tend to be located in converted commercial, industrial and historic buildings that were originally all work buildings that once had no residential use. Today, they have been turned into residential buildings under the Los Angeles Adaptive Re-Use Ordinance that allows for living and working in the same condominium or loft apartment rental unit. #dtla #lofts #map
In Southern California, these buildings tend to be clustered in dense urban areas such as Downtown Los Angeles, with some also in other metropolitan areas like Hollywood, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Long Beach, Anaheim, Santa Ana and of course San Diego.
Here are some maps and other resources to help find lofts by geographical area. The ZIP codes that have the largest number of Downtown area lofts are generally 90012,90013,90014,90015,90017,90021 and 90031.

Just Purchased loft in Downtown Los Angeles
TALE OF TWO LOFTS
The buyer of the Elleven loft at 1111 S Grand Ave, Michael Logan, originally began his search on the L.A. Loft Blog looking for a Mills Act historic loft, but instead found that the sunny, south facing Elleven loft in South Park was brighter with its wall of windows, more beautiful yet more practical, and a better deal as the price has been depressed slightly due to a recently settled lawsuit and lots of construction in and around the building. He also liked that the unit was further away from the homeless shelters, and closer to L.A. Live and Ralph’s Market.
Gianna Ward, the seller of the small Pershing Square SB loft at 312 W 5th Street had been a landlady renting out her unit that she owned to guests on AirBnB, but she had enough of the management work that it entailed, along with the extra costs and havoc associated with short term renters when more damage occurs such as costly plumbing issues.
Both escrows just closed with pleasant negotiations and no bickering during the light and easy holiday real estate season in DTLA. Michael, the buyer of the Elleven lofts is an art industry professional who loves Downtown, while the seller of the SB Grand is relieved to stop the work and headaches of managing a short-term rental, and to instead gain new cash liquidity for more enjoyable things in her now lighter, more care-free life. Congratulations to each on the successful loft transaction that just closed escrow!

Avoid 6 Costly Errors When Moving to a Larger Home and Save Thousands
Unlike the experience of buying a first home, when you’re looking to move-up, and already own a home, there are certain factors that can complicate the situation. It’s very important for you to consider these issues before you list your home for sale. Not only is there the issue of financing to consider, but you also have to sell your present home at exactly the right time in order to avoid either the financial burden of owning two homes or, just as bad, the dilemma of having no place to live during the gap between closings.
