A quick Little Holmby snapshot

Little Holmby sits north of Wilshire Boulevard, south of Sunset Boulevard and west of Beverly Glen. Many listings point to Holmby Park and the Warner Avenue Elementary School attendance area as draws. Several homes on Warner and Weyburn date to the 1930s, so condition and updates swing value.

The top end runs far above a typical sale. In November 2025, 10301 Strathmore Drive closed at $20.3 million, the highest price ever recorded in Little Holmby. That's about 20% above the neighborhood's previous high.
