- Getting into the housing market in Southern California can be both daunting and confusing. If sticker shock doesn't scare you off, finding a property that fits your lifestyle can be even hard to come by.
With Los Angeles and the surrounding communities experiencing some of the highest housing prices in the nation, many first-time buyers are looking for something affordable that won't be a money-sink. And if it offers a little bit of charm? Even better.
A recently listed property in the San Gabriel Valley appears to check all those boxes - if you're willing to squint a little. The 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home in Alhambra has captured the attention of prospective buyers across the Los Angeles region and beyond.

that rooftop looks perfect for a homeless encampment
Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaa
Niiiccceee 👍👍 !
So true, automatic neighbors
600k
I was thinking the same thing. they will be pissing over his front porch every night.
They’re asking 250k in 2023
They bought it for 72k on 10/12/2005
Before that it sold for 10k on 8/19/2004
man that is a huge profit they are making by selling it now.
@@michaelescobar9317 You could camp above it for FREE.
Imagine the 2nd-hand expensive that would come with that estate! If you send me $1, you can have it for FREE.
@@StanHowse😂😂😂😂
And it sold for $430,000!
Real estate agents will say it's rustic and that the mold is funky.
As a hobo who has lived under a bridge this is appealing 😂
Pathetic! No parking. the bridge is cracked and just above the stinking LA River and $300K for a space that is 1/3 smaller than a 1 bed room apt., paradise??? You have to be crazy to buy this
Not gonna lie. You had me until you said no parking. That's a deal braker.
There's a strip mall right next to it...maybe someone that buys it could talk to the property manager to make some kind of deal for a parking spot or 2? And by the look of the fencing on the roof it looks similar to the fencing on the strip mall so at some point it might have been part of it?
park on the roof
Good luck getting a permit to remodel that property. It’s directly over the LA River that goes out to sea so there’s a few agencies that need to give approval and you’ll have to hire lawyers probably
Good call!
And? Money talks
@@joseavila5616clearly you don’t know anything ya goof, getting remodeling or constructions permits in CA is the worst, they take forever and come up with all kind of stupid regulations
@evolution71 like I said money talks. Pay up for a permit and you'll get it. You wouldn't know brokie
roof top sorta defeats the under a bridge description. its on top of the bridge!!
$300k to live in a bridge when people live under bridges for free
Back in 1987 we saw this place listed on Penny saver magazine ,we had a hard time finding it ,we found it but realized it wasn't safe for our baby girl and no garage it was listed for 600$ a month lol😅
I went into that place in 88 with some friends. It had broken windows and was abandoned.
Whoever the listing agent is. Gotta love free advertising
- Agent 😂
A three hundred thousand mold problem????? Yeah!!!
They will get close to $500,000 all said and done.
Horrific, no way!
Well, perhaps if you're throwing a Party , and the River below is surging , y'all can sing:
" 🎵🎶🎼 Me and Alhambra Water Making Friends ... 🎵🎶🎼 "
This is built on a bridge that was built in the 40’s or 50’s keep that in mind, things were not built up to strict codes back then so it will wash away when that river below is roaring
It hasn't washed away in the last 50 years it's not gonna wash away anytime soon.
@@jhnyjoejoe69 never say never
1949 till 2023 it hasnt washed away
@@lutomson3496 I drove by It today and so many people were on that roof with a for sale sign on it all just looky loos
@@lutomson3496 never say never, that thing does not get inspected at all
I'm buying it.
Small leak, it's always a small leak 😂
ain't worth a dime from me. thank you
How come the City is not demolishing this property? It was obviously built without permits!
You can't list anything without permitted
it was not originally built as a home.
Thanks Sam for a great segment!
Congrats on this listing and all of the coverage! From a fellow Compass agent here, Alex Nickodem in Chapel Hill, NC.
@@alexnickodem5599 looking forward to meeting you at the retreat
That’s above a bridge. Under would be a troll.
@2:31 "when it rains" - when is that?
Umm. The "interested buyer" lit( poorly so) a cigar seconds before a home tour?
This house is a sitting cancer diagnosis waiting to happen. The mold and the wash alone are carcinogens!
For double that price you can get yourself a decent and spacious home in a nice part of the IE
Really !!?? Hot dam !
That's totally what everyone wants, to move to the desert and deal with the heroin addicts trying to steal your car from you while you're still in it.
@@DarkRider1768 except that inland empire isn’t the desert Big brain. Take a simple geography class before accusing others of doing the drugs you’re high on when posting online 🤣😂
But then you’re in the IE
@@rosshector9904 and you own property and land instead of being a slave to your rent increasing every month and not having anything to show for when and if it’s time to sell
$250 dollars! not thousands
You couldn't pay me to live there.
This is crazy why can we put a stop to the dumb people that keep on raising the prices of homes it’s sad how this is ok
Prefect spot for
HIPSTER/SKATER/EMO/EDGARCUTBOYS
Losers.
Or a Biden voter
For 250k u can be burried at sea by the titanic 🤡
Hell no.
No way it is legal to build a house over a bridge, the bridge has to be public property.
Will get torn down.
true
You guys forgot to mentioned the electrical 😂😂😂😂
I wouldn’t be surprised if the city declares eminent domain.
Where will I plug my car in?
Hahahaha
Mold, nice
Under? Or above?
Love the Air bnb idea 💡
People out che charging folk 250K to be a troll when I do that online for free. What a world! 😂😂😂
Too much ketchup on the fries. 😂
A sign of the times!
Perfect air bnb
This is so upsetting 😢
The unique property buzz word for hey all of you will live in a house full of mold under a bridge
Jack In The Box is across the street to there on Main Street, Alhambra California😊
The next owner will be jumping off that bridge when they realize how bad an investment it was. Fail.
😂😂😂
nope
It some how reminds me of the Batman cave.
Nobody ever knew it was there.
Desperation over housing thanks to los angeles government not allowing proper building permits for starter homes.
Ridiculous! Keep it!
looks like that's above the bridge to me
"Prime LA real estate"
Why you say under a bridge? It's obviously on top!
I would give them $800 no more no less ( a month)
Literally not a home maybe for storage a cars running on top
Lol my neighbor downstairs is a homeless guy
My neighbors downstairs smoking crack
That place should be condemned as uninhabitable and demolished.
This seems over a bridge and not under. Must be a slow news day to hype a story like this.
I want it soooo bad!!!!!! 😂😭
Think I herd about this years ago their other bridges that homeless got inside it made it their home one mite be under the 5 frwy or the 101 I been inside the place like 35 years ago
I want it
too expensive
A poor man's "Falling Water"
That’s more like beside the bridge.
How do you type live under” .. when the whole report is about a house on top. Do you guys need someone that knows how to type correctly?…
I would go for it if you could build a car garage on top
i ride a bike everywhere i would have no problem
House doesn't look like it can support the weight of a car on the roof. Looks like it's built out of wood, structurally probably can't handle the weight.
You should be able to park on your own roof..... I mean you own it right?
The government should've let the population shrink naturally. Smaller population will make life competition less intense and lower property prices as happened in Japan, which will eventually make the citizens happier
Pursuit of happiness, not a life of happiness given
@@JustMyVisionCEO Scandinavians and the citizens of rich GCC countries look happier than ordinary US citizens to me
More people equals more tax dollars hence the open boarders
@@jhowardsupporter Each legal immigrant brings at least $5000 to settle in the US, but the life competition will get harder if they stay
Same people complaining about immigration repealed roe so clearly decreasing the population isn't a priority for them.
It's a shack.
Youd have to be a fool to buy that house.
I can live under a bridge for $0. As a matter of fact, many people do.
For 250k you can also live in a pineapple under the sea
Homeless encampment for neighbors ??
Party house? Good luck... Alhambra has a strict no overnight parking unelss you are a resident with a permit..
Take me to the bridge
Fake news; the house is on the bridge, not under the bridge 😁
The Babylon Bee predicted this 2 weeks ago
Under a bridge? Its over a bridge. Cliccccck bait
Hmm what abt earth quakes? I don't think so.
Mosquito hell
I'm not paying more than 100k for that.
BabylonBee? No, just Los Angeles
There must be nice rats 🐀 mice 🐁 in that canal
The trolls might not be happy
I’ll buy it for .50 cents
These are for the caretakers back in the day
Chinese will put 25 families in there. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😭😭😭😭. Wait till it rains. That bridge will fail.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
YUK!
Yuck...mold...tear down
If it's still too expensive ask a black friend to move in next door
Wtf 😂 ☠️
Trap house lolz
My state is a frkn joke.
New traphouse in town

Ridiculous
