Luxury is an experience. You’ll be reminded of this every time you pull up to this home on a palm tree-lined street in prime Echo Park . It’s one of four Spanish-style residences offered for sale in a new Tenancy in Common (TIC) community named Casa Laveta.

Built on a street with a backdrop of mountains, their spacious single-level condo strikes the perfect balance between a quiet home life and enjoying the energy of a vibrant city. It’s also near the most recognized media companies in the world, including Warner Bros., The Walt Disney Company, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon. As their home hits the market, Jorge and Sandra reflect on living close to work and raising their son, Luca. Jorge: “We were renting in Culver City. We lived a block away from Sony.
