As housing prices push higher across Los Angeles, millennials are sprawling throughout the city. According to local agents, creative types are opting for Eastside neighborhoods near Highland Park and established artist havens like Culver City, while those looking to buy with a bigger income seem more enthralled with pricey Venice and the greater Silicon Beach area.
