Silver Lake, Los Angeles Real Estate
Amid the hills east of Hollywood lies Silver Lake, a place where creative types, old hippies, and members of the LGBTQ+ community call home. Silver Lake real estate has historically been a place where ideas and movies were born. The neighborhood includes homes designed by famous architects including Richard Neutra and Frank Lloyd Wright.
A pretty even split between single-family homes and multi-family properties, the Silver Lake real estate market appeals to a range of luxury lifestyles. There are also a multitude of homes in this neighborhood with construction dates before the 1950s, spanning a diverse array of architectural styles. For historic homes, homebuyers can find everything from Craftsman bungalows to Spanish style homes from the turn of the century, designed by renowned architects. While many of these homes have updated or renovated interiors, homeowners typically maintain their historic characteristics, such as original fireplaces and wood flooring, exposed beams, French doors, and more. For those searching for a home with character and charm, Silver Lake has an assortment of properties to choose from.
Silver Lake has a small selection of new construction properties. Many prefer to upgrade an existing home rather than build an entirely new one, but there are some options on the real estate market. This can include single-family homes and condos, and the architecture of these properties leans overwhelmingly Contemporary in style.
When it comes to income properties, Silver Lake offers a wide variety, although this comes at a luxurious price point. Multi-family homes for sale in this neighborhood include duplexes and townhomes alongside low and mid-rise condos.

The body of water known as Silver Lake was once called “Ivanhoe,” after the 1819 Sir Walter Scott novel. Many streets in Silver Lake are named for book characters, including Rowena and Herkimer. The reservoir is divided into upper Ivanhoe and lower Silver Lake. The reservoir provides water to communities in South Los Angeles but is in the process of being decommissioned.
The existing lake will be converted to recreational use surrounded by a pedestrian path, dog park and nursery school. During the 1930s, Walt Disney built his first large studio in Silver Lake. Architect Richard Neutra, designer of many homes in the area, built his own home on Silver Lake Boulevard. The house still exists, and is visited by architecture fans and students. Neutra's offices were nearby on Glendale Boulevard.
