What Affects Home Prices in Franklin Village?
Architectural Significance
1920s–30s landmark buildings (e.g., Hollywood Tower, 1929) and restored vintage homes/complexes tend to command premiums over generic flips.
Lot, Hillside Position & Outdoor Space
Homes up the hillside (north of Franklin) trade on views and privacy but are shaped by the City’s Baseline Hillside rules (FAR/height/grade), which can limit build-out and drive value.
Walkability to the Franklin Strip
Being a quick stroll to the UCB Theatre (5903 Franklin), La Poubelle, Birds and neighborhood retail typically boosts buyer demand.
Transit & Commute Access
Proximity to Metro B-Line stations (Hollywood/Vine; Hollywood/Western) is a plus for some buyers and renters.
Noise, Traffic & Parking
Franklin Ave is a busy cut-through; recent signal timing controversies (e.g., 8-second green at La Brea) highlight congestion. Permit-parking blocks exist nearby—check restrictions before you buy.
Seismic, Fire & Hillside Risk
Parts of the area lie near the Hollywood Fault’s state “Zones of Required Investigation,” and hillside parcels may fall in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones—both impact due diligence, design and insurance.
Building Compliance & Retrofit Costs
Many wood-frame “tuck-under-parking” buildings fall under LA’s mandatory Soft-Story Retrofit program; timelines and surcharges can affect cap-ex and NOI.
Income/Use Regulations
RSO rent controls cover many pre-1978 multi-unit properties citywide; LA’s Home-Sharing Ordinance limits STRs to an owner’s primary residence (caps apply). These rules materially affect underwriting.
Insurance Availability & Cost
California carriers have tightened underwriting (State Farm paused new CA homeowners policies in 2023). Some buyers rely on the FAIR Plan (last-resort fire coverage). Expect rate volatility.
