Posted by Darren Daltorio | Posted on 05/06/2016
The clouds disappear, the temperature gets warmer, and the days get longer. It’s spring and as a Los Angeles real estate guy, it’s my favorite, and busiest, time of year. With so much to see in this great city, I get a lot of people asking my advice on places to experience – whether they live here or they’re just visiting. Since most of my days are filled travelling Los Angeles from property to property, when I do get a chance to enjoy time off, I’m careful to select the best. There’s something for every age and every personality in Los Angeles. Here are a few of my favorite things going on this spring for you to enjoy.
