  • Getting into the housing market in Southern California can be both daunting and confusing. If sticker shock doesn't scare you off, finding a property that fits your lifestyle can be even hard to come by.
    With Los Angeles and the surrounding communities experiencing some of the highest housing prices in the nation, many first-time buyers are looking for something affordable that won't be a money-sink. And if it offers a little bit of charm? Even better.
    A recently listed property in the San Gabriel Valley appears to check all those boxes - if you're willing to squint a little. The 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home in Alhambra has captured the attention of prospective buyers across the Los Angeles region and beyond.
    KTLA's Samantha Cortese reports on June 6, 2023.

      There's a strip mall right next to it...maybe someone that buys it could talk to the property manager to make some kind of deal for a parking spot or 2? And by the look of the fencing on the roof it looks similar to the fencing on the strip mall so at some point it might have been part of it?
