Selling Your Condo in Franklin Hills
A same-day start, HOA documents ordered right away, an in-house Matterport tour and a real update after every showing.
What makes selling your condo in Franklin Hills different?
Selling your condo in Franklin Hills means selling something rare. The hill has four condo buildings and 26 units in total. Buyers who want a condo on this side of Los Feliz do not get many chances, so a well-presented listing has their attention from the first day.
Rarity has a cost too. Your own building may have had no sales in a long time, and the association behind it is small. Pricing takes more care, and the HOA documents may come from a volunteer board member rather than a management company. We plan for both from the day you sign.
California spells out what you provide. Under Civil Code section 4525, that includes the governing documents, a statement of current assessments and fees, any approved increase not yet due and any rental prohibition. Under section 4530, the association delivers requested documents within 10 days and may charge a reasonable fee, which the seller pays.
How do we price a unit with so few sales nearby?
Condo pricing usually starts inside the building. Here, a building of two, four, nine or eleven units may not have a recent sale at all. So we widen the circle with care.
- Your building first. Any recent sale there is still the strongest comparison, adjusted for floor, view, parking and condition.
- Buildings of the same era. The 1990 to 1992 buildings on Clayton, Franklin and Sunset compare best with other Los Feliz condos built as condos in those years. Lofts on Hyperion compares best with newer construction.
- Size and layout. Units here run from 810 square feet to 2,107. A 2,107-square-foot unit on Franklin Avenue competes with townhomes and small-lot homes as much as with condos.
- The association. The fee, what it covers and the reserves all shape what a buyer will pay.
We explain every comparison and every adjustment. Our Equity pillar lays out the method.
How does Rooster Homes™ market a Franklin Hills condo?
Rooster Homes™ is a Los Feliz, Los Angeles real estate brokerage owned by Brandon and Sarah Arlington (DRE #02051216). From day one on, we stay involved.
- A same-day kickoff. Escrow, HOA documents and disclosures start moving within hours of signing.
- An in-house Matterport 3D tour. We shoot it ourselves. On a hillside building, the tour shows buyers how the unit sits on the slope before they visit.
- The right label. Your listing names Franklin Hills and places the building west of Hyperion Avenue, so buyers searching Los Feliz find it.
- Reach. The MLS, an agent email to 51,000+ active agents, our Los Feliz business networking group of 9,000+ members and Facebook and Instagram ads.
- A real update after every showing and open house. That is the Rooster Update Standard, with weekly updates through closing.
What should a Franklin Hills seller prepare?
- Who answers for the association. In a small building, name the board member or manager who handles document requests, so we can order the package on day one.
- The reserve study and recent minutes. Buyers of 30-year-old buildings ask about roofs, waterproofing and plumbing. Ready answers keep them in escrow.
- Any assessment, approved or discussed. You disclose any approved increase not yet due, and we plan for it in pricing.
- Parking and the approach. Show where the unit parks and how a buyer reaches the door.
- Showing rules. A small building may have no lobby or manager on site. We agree on lockbox and open house rules with the association before launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you price a Franklin Hills condo with no recent sales in the building?
We start with any sale in your building, then widen to Los Feliz condos of the same era and size. The 1990s buildings compare with other condos built in those years, and Lofts on Hyperion compares with newer construction. We explain every adjustment.
Who provides the HOA documents in a small Franklin Hills building?
The association, often through a volunteer board member when there is no management company. Under Civil Code section 4530 it has 10 days from the request. We identify the right person and order the documents the day you sign.
Will buyers know my condo is in Franklin Hills and not Silver Lake?
Yes. Your listing names Franklin Hills and places the building west of Hyperion Avenue, the line the Los Feliz Neighborhood Council uses between the two neighborhoods.
Franklin Hills
What selling your condo looks like in Franklin Hills
The eastern hill of Los Feliz around the Shakespeare Bridge, with a handful of small condo buildings from 1990 to 2019 and small-lot homes on Bates Avenue.
Franklin Hills is the eastern hill of Los Feliz, between Franklin Avenue and Fountain Avenue, running east to Hyperion Avenue. Most homes here are single-family, and its condos are a small group of newer buildings on Hyperion Avenue, Sunset Drive, Franklin Avenue and Clayton Avenue.
- The homes
- 4 small condo buildings from 1990 to 2019, including Lofts on Hyperion (2019), plus a group of small-lot homes on Bates Avenue (2017). Most of the neighborhood is single-family (LA County Assessor parcel records, 2026-09-23).
- Nearby
- Speranza and Hyperion Public restaurants. Silver Lake begins across Hyperion Avenue, the eastern edge of the neighborhood.
- The trade-off
- The homes sit on a hill above a 35-foot ravine, so views come with slopes. No HPOZ or historic district covers the area, so landmark protection sits on individual monuments.
