Having lived near St. John's Wood in North West London, I was tickled to see that it followed me to Los Angeles.
St. John's Wood at 1730 Sawtelle Blvd. in West Los Angeles is the second project in what is know as the "Britishfication of Sawtelle" by Peter Wilson, a Brit himself.
This FHA approved green condo project has already sold 25 out of 55 units in 3 weeks. 2 bed 2 bath units up to 1,250 sq. ft. are priced from $439,000 to $499,000. 2 bed 2 bath loft-style units are up to 1,400 sq. ft and priced from $559,000 to $599,000. The ceilings in the units are 9 ft ceiling and in the lofts 16 ft, with beautiful features and appliances. Views are towards the ocean, Culver City and Venice.
Sawtelle Blvd. is at the heart of West Los Angeles and if you like an eclectic mix of food there are restaurants galore.
Sawtelle also has an excellent Walk Score, 87 out of 100, from Google Maps. There is no shortage of activities and venues in the area.

Jane, with 25 out of 55 units sold in 3 weeks, I'm impressed! In most any market, this would be declared success! Do you think it is because of the "Britishfication?!"
I love the London/LA connection. What if you got Lindsey Lohan involved too?
Just kidding!

Mary Kay, no, it's the price :)
Michael, :)
Nothing like that little taste of home connection to make you love a complex. I love that the balconies are separated by walls. Walk score? Does that mean within walking distance to shopping ect??? WOW. I can't walk anywhere. I mean I could... but it would take all day to go one way. I have to drive 20 minutes to the super market.
Tammy, I guess you won't be downloading any of the Walk Score widgets for your website will you :)
Jane, I thought everybody in CA drove places, like here in Texas. Impressive sales stats.
Wayne, we have our moments.
Britification huh ! Maybe thats something I should market myself to be able to do for some listings ??
...and these units seem remarkably well priced for 2/2s in your area there?
Nice !
Sheldon, they are very well priced. "Sheldon Neal Britishfies Maywood."
