Northeast Los Angeles has an advantage over other neighborhoods in that several vintage home styles have endured. Homebuyers should give them a look.


Neighborhoods throughout Northeast Los Angeles (NELA) are somewhat a magnet for admirers of its many classic Victorian homes. But homes from the Victorian era - most built in the 1880s land boom Cheap Douglas Costa Jersey , up until about 1910 - can be found elsewhere in the region, including dozens of homes for sale in Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Montecito Heights and Glassell Park.


These homes where built in a time period - technically, the last years of the reign of Queen Victoria, who died in 1901 - but actually come in several different but similar styles: Italianate Cheap David Alaba Jersey , Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, Folk Victorian, Shingle, Stick, Second Empire Cheap Corentin Tolisso Jersey , Eastlake, Octagon, and Richardsonian Romanesque. But because so much growth in Los Angeles occurred in the post-War period (after 1945), surviving Victorians are real standouts. What鈥檚 not to love about the flourishes in detail, the interior finishes, and the implied elegance of the time?


Actually owning a classic Victorian can present certain challenges for homeowners who don鈥檛 have money in the bank for updates and restoration. While most homes have been updated from their original construction Cheap Christian Fruchtl Jersey , it bears noting that elements such as insulation, efficient mechanized heating and cooling systems, electrification and modern plumbing were quite likely not in the original homes. Part of the reason so many Victorians fell to demolition was few were modernized when the style went through its pass茅 period. That鈥檚 when bungalows and later more modern styles came into vogue.


It鈥檚 noteworthy how these homes have withstood seismic events over the past 100-140 years. In the 1994 Northridge earthquake, it was newer construction that suffered the most damage.


For anyone considering buying or updating a vintage Victorian home, it鈥檚 imperative to check into the mechanical systems, the electrical wiring Cheap Arturo Vidal Jersey , and the condition of the roof - including if it is made of slate, replacement of which can be pricey, although there are more affordable facsimile tiles made of recycled rubber.


Consider also how the original first-floor layout generally includes a series of smaller parlors, often compartmentalized with pocket doors, and a kitchen made for cooking. That last detail is important: Regardless of whether you are looking at real estate in Mt. Washington, Garvanza Cheap Arjen Robben Jersey , Hermon, Eagle Rock or Beverly Hills, most modern homes provide for in-kitchen eating and entertaining. This is why some owners of Victorian homes renovate the first floor to open up the kitchen and often the entire first floor (to the degree that load-bearing walls allow).


Some Victorians qualify as historic structures, and there is a process for achieving that designation by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission (as a Historic-Cultural Monument) or even the National Register of Historic Places. Each has criteria the home must meet, and each places restrictions on alterations and demolitions. But that鈥檚 not to say such a designation reduces the home鈥檚 value; in many cases it can increase it.


Most owners of Victorian homes purchased them because of their character and history.
