Glassell Park

Here’s a quick way to know more of the Glassell Park real estate structure from  the beginning. This community of Northeast Los Angeles has much history as to the way the neighborhood was formed by real estate transfers long ago. Home buyers and home owners in the N.E.L.A community will appreciate this short story of how Andrew Glassell started it all.

Let’s think of what the Glassell Park real estate was like a century ago.  Verdugo Road where it meets San Fernando Road was considered the crucial link for commerce and trade with the pueblo of Los Angeles. At this time the big land owners were the Verdugos and San Fernando Road was affiliated with the pueblo of  . It was said that Glassell Park had “the road to the city” and in 1912 it was annexed and included in the area of Northeast Los Angeles.

Andrew Glassell was born in Virginia and acquired property from the Rancho in what was to become Glassell Park. He went to San Francisco in 1853 and established a law practice. His appointment as the United States attorney at Sacramento, California soon followed. During the Civil War his sympathies were with the South and he refused to take the loyalty oath to the United States required of lawyers. He left his public office and quit the practice of law and operated a lumber mill near Santa Cruz.

After the war Glassell moved to Los Angeles in 1865. He formed a partnership with Alfred Chapman and Colonel George H. Smith, the firm becoming known as Glassell, Chapman & Smith. Their law practice was confined chiefly to real estate transactions and they made their fortunes by being retailed in the large partition suits. When Glassell first came to California, he had worked with the federal land commission that reviewed all the old Mexican Rancho grants and so he was very well versed in title land law. They would take their compensation in land, and nearly every final decree in partition would find that Glassell and Chapman had quite an area of land. Glassell was involved in the legal suit known as The Great Partition of 1871 brought against the Rancho San Rafael property.

Andrew Glassell knew the value of real estate and what the benefits held in owning property. The fact that he and his associates accepted land as payment in many instances, showed the vision of things to come. Today, Glassell Park is thriving with diverse cultures and neighborhoods. The affluent N.E.L.A community of Mt. Washington resides in the boundaries of Glassell Park. The community also includes the custom homes in the Verdugo Hills and is home to a great senior recreation center.

 Now, is the time for a home buyer in northeast Los Angeles to purchase that N.E.L.A home in the areas of Mt. Washington, Highland Park, Glassell Park, Eagle Rock, Atwater Village, Silverlake, Echo Park and South Pasadena.

Mortgage rates are low for those qualified , area home prices are starting to edge up and inventory is right. Seize the opportunity, as data supports northeast Los Angeles real estate is increasing slowly and consistently. The tax breaks presently extended to first-time and move-up buyers are right. The truth is that the incentive to purchase is strong and may not continue for all of 2010 as mortgage interest rates are forecasted to rise in months to come.

“There is no better time to get a rate below 5 percent than today,” said Brad Blackwell, national sales manager for Wells Fargo Bank.

Home prices in the North East Los Angeles real estate are favorable, down about a third from the peaks, demand is strong and the homebuyer may have to deal with multiple offers which have been common in the area. The truth is that a total of 71 residences have been sold so far in December and 53 entered pending status this month. December is presently half over but activity is still strong despite the holidays.

Be reminded, that the N.E.L.A area offers great commutes and a variety of life styles to blend with all desirable features searched for by savvy buyers.
