In a high-priced city like Los Angeles, $1.5 million is considered a respectable home buying budget. In denser, urban neighborhoods, this price tag will often afford you a small lot single-family home. Over the Cahuenga Pass, your dollar will stretch further — potentially scoring you a backyard pool. Here we’ve rounded up five new construction single-family home developments around Los Angeles that are priced in the $1.5 million range.

Described as “Los Angeles’ interpretation of the iconic brownstones that line New York’s upper west side,” the homes are characterized by Snaidero kitchens with Viking appliances, high coffered ceilings, oversized, dark-trimmed windows, UV-filtered skylights, wide plank oak flooring and pre-wiring for electric car charging.
