Surging home prices and relentless competition in the resale market have made new construction an attractive option for Los Angeles buyers. In most cases, the sticker price is what you’ll pay and lots are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Although far and few between, a handful of new detached home and townhome developments are now selling in sought-after West LA. Here we’ve rounded up three such communities with prices from the mid-$900,000s.
