Aren’t Harry and Meghan looking for a bargain in LA?
La forza del destino!
Too modest for Meghan!
You can get a condo in LA for $520,000? You couldn’t get one in Toronto for that. Not with all the accoutrements his has. Doesn’t sound like a slum area, either, though downtown LA is not a des res.
Bargain for somebody.
Note it has a $1,000 HOA fee too.
There heads wouldn’t fit through the door
By LA standards, that’s like the price of a shack or parking garage. That or he has been advised to get out of town as soon as possible with whatever he can.
Amazed at the price. I’d have expected 2 parking spaces alone to go for that sort of money in downtown LA. There’s surely got to be a catch. It’s not the HOA, because that’s just $1k per month. I might even be in the market for it myself. I shall ask a realtor friend for insight.
And he has a $500,000 hush payment to make.

Vergogna
Vergogna indeed; but a glimpse of reality.
Even Pavarotti at his peak was only “classical-music famous.” When people who had never heard of Pavarotti, Carreras, or Domingo became aware of the Three Tenors, he was just “the fat one.” The others didn’t even get that much.
And José Carreras was widely known as “the other guy”.
Very cheap.
You can get a 2-bedroom, 2-bath 1,200 sq ft apartment in a full-service building in downtown LA for $500K????!!!!
I’m moving there.
Nah they forgot a zero.
Did he sell out?
Maybe the (luxury) housing market has crashed spectacularly there??
He is probably the greatest tenor who ever lived, so let us remember him for this.
I’m sorry but the world’s greatest tenor should be able to hit and hold a B natural without putting his testicles in a vice.
This building, Promenade West Condominiums, was in the news soon after the Walt Disney Concert Hall (neighboring the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion) was built across the way. Residents complained about the glare and reflected heat emanating from WDCH’s mirror-polished stainless steel rooftop, making parts of the building stifling hot.
Interesting. Guidance from an independent realtor is that the condo is fairly priced. I can resist punning that you comment “sheds light” on the apparent anomaly.
‘can’t’, not ‘can’.
