Buying and selling: what to know
Buyers have leverage in West Hollywood right now, so use it, but read the HOA documents closely. Many buildings date to the 1960s and 1970s, and seismic retrofits, special assessments and rental rules vary a lot from one building to the next.
For sellers, the first month is everything: homes that sold in their first 30 days averaged 99.1% of asking, and only about a third of all listings sold. Price it right from day one.
What is your home worth?
Tell me the address and I will send you a value based on recent sales on your street, not an online estimate.
Schools
West Hollywood is served by Los Angeles Unified. Assignments depend on the address, so confirm the attendance area for any specific home.
Getting around
Santa Monica Boulevard and Sunset run east-west through the city, with Beverly Hills a few minutes west and Hollywood a few minutes east. The Metro D Line's new La Cienega station, a short drive south, connects to downtown, and the Westside is about 20 to 30 minutes away.

Questions buyers and sellers ask
Is West Hollywood its own city?
Yes. West Hollywood has been its own city since 1984, with its own rent stabilization ordinance. Parts of ZIP codes 90069, 90046 and 90048 are in the City of Los Angeles, so check the city for any address.
Is there a transfer tax in West Hollywood?
The city does not charge its own. Only LA County's $1.10 per $1,000 applies. Homes in the hills above Sunset are usually in the City of Los Angeles, where city taxes and Measure ULA apply.
Is West Hollywood a buyer's market?
Right now, yes. Over the last 12 months there were about 8.2 months of supply and only about 36% of listings that came off the market sold.
Is my unit covered by West Hollywood rent stabilization?
Most rental units in West Hollywood buildings built before mid-1979 fall under the city's rent stabilization ordinance, which has its own rules on rent increases, evictions and registration. Single-family homes and condos are treated differently under state law, so check the specific property with the city before you buy an income property.
Can I rent my place short-term?
West Hollywood heavily restricts short-term rentals, and many condo associations ban them too. Plan on long-term rentals only unless the city and the HOA documents clearly say otherwise.
Do older West Hollywood buildings need a soft-story retrofit?
Yes. West Hollywood has its own soft-story retrofit program for older wood-frame buildings with weak ground floors. If you are buying in an older condo or apartment building, ask whether the work is done and how it was paid for.
