LA home next to Dodger Stadium lists at just $750K — but there’s a catch

A tiny slice of Southern California charm has hit the market for the bargain price of $749,000, but prospective buyers better be prepared to lace up their walking shoes.

The two-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow, which went on the market 11 days ago, offers 770 square feet of “sun drenched” living space and a “backyard oasis” perfect for entertaining.

It’s located in the Elysian Park/Chinatown area, just a stone’s throw from the gates of Dodger Stadium–a dream for baseball fans, provided they don’t mind the stadium traffic.

But a closer look at the listing reveals a missing feature that could be problematic in a city where cars are king: the property has no garage and no driveway.

While the listing boasts a high “walk score” and “transit score,” the reality for a car owner involves daily scouting for a spot on the curb.

A video of the listing, initially taken by Franco Elite Realty Group, went viral on X.

The lack of dedicated parking is a bold trade-off for the sub-$800K price tag, and, on paper, the price for a home in that area looks like a great deal.

Built in 1922, the inside of the bungalow has been polished for the modern buyer. It features sophisticated cabinetry, hardwood floors and ample kitchen counter space.

It has also been updated with central air and heat. The outdoor space is probably the biggest selling point, offering a front porch with “breathtaking views of the city” and a tiered backyard.

Despite the parking pain, the property’s location isn’t trivial. Being steps away from nightlife, restaurants, transit and Dodger Stadium remains appealing, particularly for buyers who rely on public transportation, ride share or walking to get around.

But in LA, a missing garage might explain why the price per square foot clocks in under $1,000.
