What $600 per Square Foot Buys in an LA Condo Right Now

At $600 per square foot you are shopping about 13 percent below the Los Angeles condo median, which the live report puts at $689 per square foot as of July 30, 2026. On the live neighborhood reports as of September 26, 2026, that budget lands you in Hollywood, Koreatown, Downtown LA and Mid-Wilshire, with Sherman Oaks below it — and on July 30 it bought two-bedroom floor plans of 1,300 to 1,600 square feet.

Where $600 sits against the citywide number

The live report at /market-stats reads an $887,000 median sale price, $689 median per square foot, 1,988 active listings, 9.2 months of supply and 48 median days on market as of July 30, 2026, with prices up 0.9 percent year over year. A $600 target is a deliberate step under that midpoint, and at 9.2 months of supply — the common yardstick treats anything over six months as buyer-favoring — it is a step you can currently take without leaving the market.

The neighborhoods that price near it

When this post first ran, the report's neighborhood table carried estimated figures rather than live MLS data, so this section now uses each neighborhood's live market report. As of September 26, 2026, five markets had a median asking price per square foot near $600 on LA Condo HQ: Hollywood at roughly $598, with 67 condos listed for sale and a median asking price of about $691,000 (/market-reports/hollywood); Koreatown at roughly $603, with 132 listed and about $695,000 (/market-reports/koreatown); Downtown LA at roughly $618, with 334 listed and about $589,000 (/market-reports/downtown-la); Mid-Wilshire at roughly $620, with 22 listed and about $765,000 (/market-reports/mid-wilshire); and Sherman Oaks below the mark at roughly $521, with 80 listed and about $650,000 (/market-reports/sherman-oaks). Marina del Rey had no condos listed on LA Condo HQ that day, so it has no current figure. These are asking prices, not closed sales.

Note what that list does not include. On the same date Century City asked roughly $1,179 per square foot, Venice roughly $1,071 as of September 25, Santa Monica roughly $997, Beverly Hills roughly $892 and Brentwood roughly $722. A $600 budget does not reach the prime Westside blocks at any unit size. It reaches the transit-rich center of the city and the Valley.

What is actually on the board at that rate today

The cards below render on page one of /condos-for-sale as of July 30, 2026, quoted exactly as the page shows them. Listings move daily, so read this as a dated snapshot rather than a standing list.

312 W 5th, unit 1022, at $399,900 — $597 per square foot for a 1-bed, 1-bath of 670 square feet, carrying a price-drop badge.

1746 Garfield Place, unit 101, at $899,000 — $591 per square foot for a 2-bed, 2.5-bath of 1,520 square feet, also repriced. Four more units in the same building sit on page one between $556 and $698 per square foot.

3613 Glendon Avenue, unit 101, at $779,000 — $579 per square foot for a 2-bed, 2-bath of 1,345 square feet, badged new.

6250 Hollywood Boulevard, unit 7K, at $849,999 — $567 per square foot for a 2-bed, 2-bath of 1,500 square feet.

3827 W Avenue 41 at $745,000 — $565 per square foot for a 3-bed, 2.5-bath of 1,319 square feet.

7259 Hillside Avenue, unit 202, at $765,000 — $517 per square foot for a 2-bed, 2-bath of 1,480 square feet.

The shape of that group is the useful part. At this per-foot rate the inventory is two bedrooms and up, mostly between 1,300 and 1,600 square feet, at asking prices from the high $300,000s to about $900,000.

The same dollar on the Westside

For contrast, page one also renders 2170 E Century Parkway, unit 1805, at $995,000 — $977 per square foot for a 1-bed, 2-bath of 1,018 square feet — and 101 California, unit 1104, in Santa Monica at $2,500,000, or $1,666 per square foot for a 3-bed, 3-bath of 1,501 square feet. Same city, same day, roughly three times the rate per foot for a smaller home in the first case. Price per square foot in Los Angeles is a location measure long before it is a finish measure.

Questions LA buyers ask about price per square foot

Using a per-foot budget without getting burned

Set the rate as a filter, not a verdict. The for-sale index offers a low-to-high sort by price per square foot, which makes the bottom of the market easy to find and easy to misread: the cheapest rate per foot in a given week is often the largest unit in the least central building, and it will still carry dues sized to that square footage.

Run three numbers together before you rank anything — the per-foot rate, the monthly dues and the association's reserve position. The full directory is at /buildings, the citywide figures stay at /market-stats, and when you want a specific building's documents pulled we will introduce you to a licensed partner agent.
