ZIP code 90008 covers Baldwin Hills, Leimert Park, and the Crenshaw District, and it reaches the edge of View Park to the south. Most of it sits inside the City of Los Angeles, but part of View Park is unincorporated Los Angeles County land that shares this ZIP code. That matters when you decide how to sell, because the city and the county use different offices for permits and code enforcement. EZ Casa Buyer talks with owners across 90008 about a possible direct sale, whatever the property type.
Property situations we hear about in 90008
Housing here ranges from single-family streets to garden apartments and small rentals. Common situations include:
- Inherited properties, sometimes shared among several family members
- Duplexes, fourplexes, and small apartment buildings with tenants
- Older single-family properties that need repairs or updates
- Condominiums in owner-association communities
- Vacant properties or properties with open code-enforcement issues
Mentioning one of these does not guarantee an offer. You also do not need to finish repairs or clear tenants before you reach out.
City, county, and community plan details
Check which government covers your parcel. Most addresses in 90008 are in the City of Los Angeles, where permits and code enforcement go through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Some addresses near View Park are in unincorporated Los Angeles County, which has its own planning and building offices. A parcel lookup with the City or the County Assessor will settle the question.
City properties fall under the West Adams-Baldwin Hills-Leimert Community Plan, which the City updated in 2016. The plan area includes the Crenshaw District and Leimert Park, and its maps list a Crenshaw Corridor Specific Plan and a Crenshaw Boulevard streetscape plan. If your property fronts Crenshaw Boulevard, ask LA City Planning whether those rules touch it.
Baldwin Hills is also home to Village Green, a garden-apartment community built in 1942 and recognized as a National Historic Landmark. The community plan lists a Village Green Owners’ Association among its stakeholders. Owners in association communities should gather their governing documents before talking with any buyer.
Renters and the Rent Stabilization Ordinance
Census-based figures from ZIP-Codes.com put roughly seven in ten occupied homes in 90008 as rentals. The City’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance generally covers rental units in buildings first built on or before October 1, 1978. The Los Angeles Housing Department can confirm a building’s status, and a landlord-tenant attorney can explain how it affects a sale.
How a direct sale works
- Send us the address, the property’s condition, and who lives there.
- We review the details and may ask for more information or a visit.
- If the property fits what we are able to consider, we may present an offer.
- You decide whether the terms work for you, on your own schedule.
An inquiry does not guarantee an offer, and you are never required to sell.
Direct sale or listing with an agent?
A direct sale can appeal to an owner who wants to skip repairs, avoid showings, or move on a flexible timeline, especially with tenants or a shared inheritance involved. Listing with an agent can appeal to an owner with a well-kept property who wants wide market exposure and has time for preparation and negotiation. A single-family home in Baldwin Hills and a rented fourplex near Crenshaw Boulevard raise different questions, so it makes sense to compare both routes for your own property.

Yes. We are glad to discuss an occupied property without asking you to remove tenants first.
Can I talk to you about an inherited property?
Yes. An attorney can confirm probate steps and who has authority to sell, and we can talk through the rest.
