What One Million Dollars Buys you in LA in 2021

 This happens to be one of my most popular posts year after year.  Now it's 2021....prices over the last year have gone up on average across Los Angeles by about 20% since this time last year.  For those who are not familiar with Los Angeles, to understand why I have listed so many different areas here, it is because the county of Los Angeles is so large that there are many different areas with many different price points.  It is so large that if I were to drive from the top of the county to the bottom, it would take about 1 - 1.5 hours with no traffic and is about a 68 mile drive on the freeways. That is close to the size of the state of Massachusetts from top to bottom. From mountain areas, to the middle of the hustle and bustle and out to the beaches, check out what $1 Million could buy you in 2021 across LA.
