Atwater Village has emerged as one of Los Angeles’s most sought-after eastside neighborhoods — a walkable, arts-driven community on the Los Angeles River with Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Colonial Revival homes, and post-war cottages now commanding $1.5M–$3.5M+. Atwater Village homeowners consistently invest in renovation to bring their older homes up to the standards of what buyers and renters expect at these prices. APLA Construction (CA Lic #1136359) is a licensed general contractor serving Atwater Village homeowners for kitchen remodels, ADUs, room additions, bathroom renovations, and full home remodeling.
Atwater Village kitchens benefit from the same design sensibility as neighboring Silver Lake and Los Feliz — period-appropriate materials (zellige, butcher block, unlacquered brass) combined with contemporary function. Full renovation: $65,000–$130,000. Open-concept conversion (the highest ROI project in Atwater Village’s Craftsman stock): $88,000–$160,000. Call (818) 818-4419 for a free estimate.
Atwater Village’s proximity to Silver Lake, Los Feliz, and Glendale employment creates strong ADU rental demand. ADU rents: $2,400–$4,000/month for 400–700 sq ft units. Garage conversion ADUs are common on Atwater Village lots. APLA handles all LADBS permitting. Learn about ADU construction.
