<p>Westchester began the 20th century as an agricultural area, growing a wide variety of crops in the dry, farming-friendly climate. The rapid development of the aerospace industry near Mines Field (as the Los Angeles Airport was then known), the move of then Loyola University to the area in 1928, and population growth in Los Angeles as a whole created a demand for housing in the area. Westchester hosted the cross country part of the eventing equestrian event for the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>In the late 1930s, real estate magnate Fritz Burns and his partner Fred W. Marlow [8] developed a tract of inexpensive prefabricated single-family homes on the site of a former hog farm at the intersection of Manchester and Sepulveda Boulevards. This community, dubbed "Westchester", grew as the aerospace industry boomed in World War II and afterward. A Los Angeles Times article in 1989 described the development as "a raw suburb", "created willy-nilly in the 1940s".</p>
<p>The area was predominantly residential. When the area had 30,000 residents, it was still lacking a police station, fire station, or hospital. It lacked a barber shop even by 1949.</p>
<p>The 1960s saw the introduction of airliners that could make trans-Pacific flights without refueling, causing a massive increase in air traffic at LAX. When the North Airfield Complex was constructed the increase in noise from jet takeoffs greatly decreased the desirability of the residential areas adjoining LAX. In response, the city of Los Angeles began a program of purchasing and condemning houses from noise-weary homeowners; as a result, a number of streets just north of the airport have been decommissioned, and the homes along those streets demolished. In all, Westchester lost 4,500 homes and 14,000 residents. The 18-hole Westchester golf course became a 15-hole course. In 2007 Los Angeles World Airport (LAWA) proposed another move of the north runway into Westchester; local opposition to LAX expansion (first proposed in the late 1990s) rose.</p>
<p>In February 2010, a NASA panel found that the north runway was safe and should stay as it is. That same month, LAWA broke ground on a $1.5 billion expansion of the Bradley International Terminal.</p>
<p>Home prices rose 25 percent in 2013&ndash;14 while most southern California communities were recovering much more slowly. A major factor has been the influx of technology companies in Playa Vista as the Silicon Beach phenomenon in west Los Angeles has spread. The community also experienced a boom in home additions or complete rehabilitation of traditional postwar ranch-style houses into larger two-story homes. The Howard Hughes Center was a significant addition to the neighborhood in 2001 next to the San Diego Freeway. Development continued until by 2015 the complex had 1.3 million square feet of office space (120,000 square metres) in high-rise buildings, 3,200 apartments, and an updated, renovated shopping mall.</p>

Westchester

<p>The northern part was originally&nbsp;wetlands, but the natural flooding was halted by the concrete channel which contains Ballona Creek.</p>
<p>In the 1870s, Playa Del Rey was the location of the first attempt at a dredged harbor in Santa Monica Bay. Under contract with the Atchison, Topeka &amp; Santa Fe Railroad, Moye Wicks' syndicate spent $300,000 to dredge "Port Ballona Harbor", for shipping to the Orient. Within three years, winter waves brought flooding, but what remained of man's early efforts became the Playa Del Rey Lagoon, now a regional public park.</p>
<p>Palisades del Rey (also, Palisades Del Rey) was the name of the original 1921 neighborhood land development by Dickinson &amp; Gillespie Co. that later came to be called Playa del Rey. The company advertised this area of sand dunes as the last stretch of coastal land in the city of Los Angeles to be developed. All of the houses in this area were custom built, many as beach homes owned by Hollywood actors and producers, including Cecil B. Demille, Charles Bickford, and others.</p>
<p>Construction in Playa del Rey surged in 1928 with the development of the Del Rey Hills neighborhood in the Eastern part of the community (to the East of Pershing Drive), and the move of Loyola University (now&nbsp;Loyola Marymount University) to the adjacent community of Westchester.</p>
<p>The southern portion of the original Playa del Rey development, which came to be known as "Surfridge," is now vacant. Between 1966 and 1975 the houses that were once there were either moved or demolished to facilitate the expansion of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and to address concerns about the noise of increasing jet plane traffic. The noise from the flights made it less desirable to live on the dunes above the ocean under the LAX flight path. The City of Los Angeles condemned the southern section of Playa del Rey under the power of eminent domain, and purchased all of the homes. Today one can see only barbed-wire fences protecting vacant land and old streets where houses once sat. Recent LAX rejuvenation plans call for the city to finally remove the old streets that still line the empty neighborhood. The condemned areas of the community are now a protected habitat of the endangered El Segundo blue butterfly.</p>
<p>Playa del Rey in the 1950s and early 1960s was known as a great Los Angeles area "surfing spot", but due to the many rock jetties that were built to prevent beach erosion, the good surf has mostly disappeared. The beach at the northernmost end of Playa del Rey is still known as "Toes Over Beach", "Toes Beach" or just "Toes" by the local surfing community, a name derived from the toes over or Hang Ten surfing maneuver. Most surfers now flock south of Dockweiler Beach, to "El Porto", the northernmost part of beach in the city of Manhattan Beach. The lifeguard and park services are uniform across the entire twenty-mile stretch of beach.</p>
<p>One danger for beachgoers is the uncontrolled water runoff from the creek, and the occasional overflow from the giant Hyperion treatment plant to the south.</p>
<p>Locals refer to the small area of housing closest to the beach, where Culver Boulevard joins Vista del Mar, as The Jungle, a nickname given to a group of closely built apartments built in 1956, bounded by Trolley Place and Trolleyway Street on its east and west respectively, and including the streets Fowling, Rees, Sunridge and Surf. The small sidewalks between homes had/have deep green overgrowth, which added to the name.</p>
<p>Today a bridge between Playa Del Rey and the jetty between Ballona Creek and the Marina is accessible to foot traffic and bicycle traffic, but not to automobiles. Bikers, skaters and joggers probably have the best chance of traversing the sidewalks of the beaches north to Santa Monica, and to the South Bay, here at this bridge. Both UCLA and LMU have crew teams that practice on the Ballona Creek channel and Marina del Rey.</p>

"Throughout the whole process, Gino has really felt like a friend.  He was always available and very prompt to all matters and situations."

The service we received from Gino Skulick was exceptional! This was our first time purchasing a multi-unit income property. We could not have asked for a better Realtor to guide us through the process. Gino's experience and patience served us well. His knowledge about real estate is multi-faceted and he most certainly able to do more than the average agent. Throughout the whole process Gino has felt like a friend. He is always available and very prompt to all matters and situations. We especially appreciated the dedication and hard work negotiating the purchase, finding a good lender, securing all the inspections, and taking the time to go over all the details of with the counter-offers. Gino always maintained the perfect balance of professionalism, good humor, patience, understanding and diplomacy. In addition, after the purchase was completed, he has maintained communications with us and helped us change the title into our LLC without hesitancy.  We would recommend Gino to any person who is looking to buy or sell.

"Florida...3 hours ahead, he pulled off the road...wrote up the offer, emailed me for review, DocuSign sent and delivered to Listing Agent by COB that day. Who does that!?"  

We engaged Gino Skulick on a Sunday afternoon--a day he happened to be leaving on vacation.  Gino decided to drive back to Los Angeles to preview another property then return to the desert soon after. He was stuck in traffic when I phoned him to discuss making an offer on the Manhattan Beach property we were interested in. I happened to be in Florida--three hours ahead on time.  Gino feared he would not make it back to his resort in time to execute the offer-- so he pulled of the road, found a FedX Office Store and spent four hours working with me on the details of the offer. He emailed me for review, made- adjustments and sent the final version via DocuSign.  He delivered to the Listing Agent as promised by close of business (COB) his time that same day. Who does that!?  Needless to say I was very impressed and was very appreciative that Gino went out of his way to get the offer done that day.  
 


I was very impressed!

Pol (and all of TeamSkulick) were fantastic throughout the whole process. Very knowledgeable and someone you can wholeheartedly trust and rely on. He was in constant communication through every step and was very direct and action oriented. I always felt he had our best interests at heart. Couldn't recommend more.” 

Pol (and all of TeamSkulick) were fantastic!

"Gino demonstrated a profound understanding of the local market, was responsive to our needs, the type of advocate and representative we wanted."  

We immediately liked Gino's professional and non-invasive personality.  My husband and I really appreciated Gino's honesty and respectful demeanor. Gino demonstrated a profound understanding of the local market, was responsive to our needs and accommodating to our desires.  My husband and I are both lawyers and Gino understood we negotiate for a living.  He did a much better job than either of us could have done on our own and managed to keep us sane during the process, quite a difficult task.  While he was always calm and professional, he was exactly the type of advocate and representative we wanted at every step in the process.

“I was in need of a professional realtor to assist me in the sale of my mom’s house that was held in a trust. As the successor trustee, I was referred to John Skulick to help me with this task. John was knowledgeable as well as attentive to these special needs. He was extremely responsive to my many questions and returned all my calls in a prompt and professional many. Working with John and his associates was surprisingly pleasant, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is need of a local realtor.” 

John was knowledgeable as well as attentive!

“John and the Team Skulick have decades of experience in the south bay. As a local native John’s deep lifelong relationships and knowledge of the area are huge plusses. Whenever a service or assistance with supplies, repairs or maintenance were needed, John Skulick had vendors at his fingertips and came through with lightning speed. Great communication all along the process. John kept in close touch even while he was on a trip abroad for family business. Team Skulick is efficient and provided documents in a timely and organized fashion. Docu signing is a dream removing the in-person meetings which are so difficult to schedule these days. Our family home of 63 years sold and closed in less than 2 months for a reasonable price. John Skulick is a dedicated and trustworthy professional whose representation of client interests as a top priority.” 

Team Skulick is efficient!

“Buying and selling property can be very stressful no matter how many times you've been through the process, so it's great to have someone like John Skulick on your side. The two times we've bought and sold in El Segundo, he was quick to answer and explain any and every question, no matter how small. He was always easy to reach and happy to help, and very quick to get back to us. John knows the South Bay so well, and has an amazing support staff who are quick to get whatever needs to be done to fix up or promote the property. Pros who will get problems up to code, photographers who highlight the best features, people to help with the paperwork, and all of them nice to deal with. John's easy-going personality and professionalism not only got the job done smoothly and without "drama," but even made it fun and memorable both times. We can't recommend him enough.”

We can't recommend him enough!
