Gillette Regents Square low-end

With our three new Gillette Regents Square listings - and because some readers can't have enough of 90402! - let's look at its current low-end (< $3M) listings and sales history, the five blocks north of Montana from the east side of 17th Street to the west side of 21st Street.

Rather than the typical 50 x 150 foot lots on other blocks, these are an extra-wide 60 x 149 feet. Without back alleys and with narrower parkways they fit in another street, the reason for both 21st Street and 21st Place.

Typical smaller houses are the Cecil Gale-built Spanish houses from the 1930s similar to 231 18th Street, above (although I don't know if he built that one). A 6/7/07 commenter gave this history:

This tract was developed by none other than the world-renowned razor blade king, King C. Gillette. In 1910, Gillette decided to leave his company and invest all of his money into real estate. Originally, the Regent Square ran from 15th Street to 21st Place; but now the area is bounded by 17th street, 21st Place, and the five blocks between San Vicente and Montana.

I don't see much of any price trend in three years of sales data, either up or down. These three new listings are competitively priced and will be good indicators, especially if they don't sell fast.
