THE HISTORY

Mexicans gained independence from Spaniards in 1821. Later in 1831, Juan Ballesteros was granted Rancho Rosa de Castilla, which was named for a brook that passed through the area. This area includes what is now known as El Sereno. The Rancho Rosa de Castilla stream used to provide essential water to a sheep-herding ranch run by Argentine immigrants. Although Rancho Rosa de Castilla is almost forgotten now, there are efforts to raise awareness about it and its role in the history of El Sereno and Los Angeles.

THE COMMUNITY

In Los Angeles County, El Sereno offers a dense suburban atmosphere to its residents. The community is mostly Latino, followed by a mix of Asian residents. People living in El Sereno enjoy many parks and dining options. Hilly El Sereno sitting northeast of downtown Los Angeles has lighter traffic compared to the neighboring metropolitan areas.

"We love Fawn!!! As first-time buyers in this insane market, we really valued the fact that Fawn got to know us and cared about our needs and our price range. She was patient and encouraging, and very calm throughout the process, even when it felt daunting. Fawn took the time to explain each step and document with us, and was super responsive to all our questions and requests. We couldn't imagine a more easy-going, supportive agent to help guide us through this wild ride."

Morgan H., Google Review

"We cannot recommend the L34 group enough. They have an extensive, impressive knowledge of the NE Los Angeles market - especially Highland Park - and credibility among their peers, built from over a decade of experience. Their professionalism shows in how nimbly they can navigate all the unexpected circumstances that selling a house inevitably entails. Deirdre in particular has great instincts and a calm, trustworthy vibe - and the trust paid off. L34 just sold our house in Highland Park well over asking price, and they did this while we were living abroad AND with tenants in the house, a situation that required a lot of delicacy and the handling of several details on our behalf. When we had 2 buyers drop out - both for unforeseen circumstances - Deirdre right away brought in a yet third buyer who was perfect for the house and offered over the first two. The sale wound up closing on the same date as we had lined up for the first two buyers, leaving us very relieved and happy customers. We wouldn't have gone with anyone else. Thank you Terry, Deirdre and the L34 Team!"

"Deirdre has been my realtor for many years and she & the L34 Group team were amazing in recently helping me to sell my Altadena house! I always feel taken care of with Deirdre and her team and they are super helpful in seeing to the many details of buying and selling homes. This sale had its challenges since I was no longer living in the area and her group handled it all easily and expertly. I highly recommend Deirdre and her team to anyone buying or selling their home. They are true experts and are the BEST at what they do!"
