Los Angeles County · Area guide
Just over the county line, Whittier offers hillside neighborhoods, a historic uptown, and larger lots than much of north Orange County. Remark Homes represented the seller of a hillside home here.
Hills and flats. Friendly Hills and the neighborhoods along the Puente Hills have view lots and winding streets; the flatter areas near Uptown and Whittier Boulevard have mid-century single-family tracts and some condos.
Los Angeles County rules. Property taxes, transfer taxes, and some disclosures differ from Orange County. We handle those differences so nothing surprises you in escrow.
Older homes, bigger lots. Much of the housing stock is 1950s to 1970s on larger lots. Sewer laterals, foundations on slopes, and roof age are the standard checks.
Remark Homes represented the seller of a townhome-style hillside home in the Friendly Hills area. See sold listings.
