IMG_2061Kenneth Village

is just your average, small town village where everything you need is contained in just a few blocks and everyone you see is someone you know.  Except this one is located in the heart of Glendale.

Farmers Market

This weekend marks the first Farmers Market in Kenneth Village and I am sure this is going to become another honored neighborhood tradition like the Fall Fesitval and the Parking Lot Movies.  Farmer’s Market is Friday from 3PM to 6PM in the parking lot behind/next to Yoga at the Village.

Here are just a few of my favorite spots in the village:

Audrey K -

Woman’s Apparel and Accessories.  This is the place to come for retail therapy.  Emphasis is chic feminine style with a slight mid century vibe, this place is hip, cool and very affordable.  Audrey used to be a buyer for a major department store and this girl knows how to pick out the very best stuff!  Go to her site an bookmark it because she has frequent events and sales.  They are not to be missed.

Yoga at the Village -

owned and operated by the indomitable Elyse Briggs, Yoga Village has become the nexus point for the truly interesting people in the neighborhood…

This is an excerpt from the community section of my main website www.kendylyoung.com.  For more about the **very** interesting Yoga at the Village and many other great Kenneth Village tidbits CLICK HERE

Too Toxic To Trash

by Kendyl on July 1, 2009

toxic wasteSave the Date!!

Hazardous Waste and E-Waste Disposal
August 8, 2009
9:00am-3:00pm
Burbank Fire Department
1845 Ontario St.
Burbank, Ca

This event is open to all residents of Los Angeles County.

This is the perfect way to either prepare your home for sale or tie up loose ends at the close of escrow.

No one wants those old paint cans, even if it is the perfect match for the bathroom.  You last painted that puppy in 1962 and, trust me, the paint in that can aint’ helpin’ nobody.

Same goes for the old car battery, the used motor oil and the dozens of somewhat used bug killers and plant treatments.  You think the new buyer wants them, but that’s a story you tell to cover up your laziness.

This is the event for you!  Bring all that old, nasty stuff in the garage.  You can also get rid of the two dozen old cell phones (although, really, donate those little gems to the nearest battered woman’s shelter) the ancient computers from 1st quarter ‘09 and that useless analog television.

Your buyer thanks you, your Realtor thanks you and the earth thanks you.    Doesn’t it feel good to do the right thing?

Overlooked Opportunities for Glendale Homes

by Kendyl on June 30, 2009

battered sale signThe number of homes for sale in Glendale keeps shrinking… but there are still listings on the market that are overlooked and unsold.

Active on the MLS for more than 120 days, these Glendale homes have lost that “shiny new thing” cachet- but that does not mean that can’t be a great deal for someone!

Would the seller sell for substantially below list price if presented with a strong offer? Is this home quirky in a way that works for you, but not the masses? Is it a short sale (groan) that is just about to lose it’s current buyer because the bank took to long to answer?

Take a look at this list of Overlooked Opportunities… is your dream home or investment here?  Do you want pictures?  Details?  CLICK HERE and type in the address.

Life of A Glendale Home Listing- Episode 6

by Kendyl on June 26, 2009

The whirlwind of activity has died down and the sellers are wondering what we should do next.

They have had several really low offers (listed at $799k and offers at $720k) and are feeling disheartened.  Should they pull the home off the market?  Should they make a “hail mary” price reduction?  Are they even willing to do that?

Click on the video to see the shocking happenings for this week!
