Faircrest Heights is one of the most desirable and best-kept pockets of Mid-City — a quiet residential enclave of roughly 860 homes tucked between Beverlywood, Carthay, and the broader Mid-City area. Homes here are noticeably larger than in neighboring pockets, averaging around 1,700 square feet, with the earliest dating to 1908 and a housing stock rich in Spanish Colonial, traditional, and character homes on well-kept, tree-lined streets. The median sale price is around $1.5 million in 2026, reflecting the neighborhood's size, quality, and strong demand.
Faircrest Heights is a genuine seller's market, and has been for some time. Well-presented homes sell quickly — often in around 40 days — and price per square foot, near $800, is among the strongest in Mid-City. Inventory is consistently tight, with only a handful of homes on the market at any time, which keeps competition healthy for correctly priced, move-in-ready properties. For sellers, this is an enviable position; for buyers, it means preparation and decisiveness are essential.
Location is a major driver of Faircrest Heights values. The neighborhood sits within easy reach of Culver City's employers and dining, the shops and restaurants of Beverlywood and Pico-Robertson, The Grove and Fairfax, and quick 10 freeway access to both Downtown and the Westside. For dual-income households where one partner works on the Westside and another elsewhere in the city, Faircrest Heights offers a genuinely central home base at a price well below comparable Westside neighborhoods — one of the clearest value stories in the area.
The homes themselves are a large part of the appeal. Faircrest Heights offers more space and larger lots than most central-LA pockets, with a mix of preserved character homes and thoughtfully updated properties. Buyers here are typically families and move-up buyers who want room to grow without leaving the central Westside-adjacent core — and who recognize that Faircrest Heights delivers square footage and quality that would cost far more just a few miles west.
