About Los Feliz Living

A hyperlocal guide to the Eastside of Los Angeles, written by a working real estate agent who has spent 24 years in California real estate.

Why this site exists

The Eastside of Los Angeles is one of the most architecturally important and culturally distinctive corners of California. Schindler and Neutra hillside houses in Silver Lake. Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House in Los Feliz. Storybook cottages in Echo Park. Spanish Revival in The Oaks and Laughlin Park. Cliff May ranches across Atwater Village. The neighborhoods have produced more important California residential architecture per square mile than almost anywhere else in the country.

Most real estate sites covering this market read like brochures. Los Feliz Living was built to be the opposite: a guide written for people who actually live here, are thinking about moving here, or are just curious about what makes the Eastside the Eastside.

The site covers neighborhoods, architecture, restaurants, market data, history, and the working details of buying or selling a home in this part of the city. It's editorial. It's specific. It assumes you can handle nuance.

Who's behind it

Los Feliz Living is written and maintained by Debbie Pisaro, a California luxury real estate agent with 24 years of experience and 1,312 closed transactions across Los Angeles and statewide California. Debbie is the founder of Coastline 840, an independent California brokerage affiliated with Side, Inc.

Her practice specializes in architectural, historic, and design-forward homes. Mid-century Modern, Spanish Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Storybook, and Historic-Cultural Monument properties. She has represented buyers and sellers across all four of the Eastside's primary neighborhoods (Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Atwater Village) for over two decades.

Debbie also owns The Pink Lady, a renovated 1907 Silver Lake Craftsman. The Eastside isn't an abstract market to her. She lives inside one of the homes she writes about.
