Indian Hills Ridge is a development of CoastFed Properties, formerly the Mayer Group. Construction has begun on four models at Indian Hills Ridge, a 66-acre project east of Yosemite Avenue and north of Flannagan Drive in northeast Simi Valley.

We're just a week away from Frieze LA, when East Coast dealers and local artists alike descend upon the Santa Monica Airport, but this isn't Renée Reizman's first rodeo.

They needed a blank space along the coast on which to build a refinery to complement the company's existing facility nearly 400 miles to the north in Richmond.

In 2021, during the peak of the pandemic housing market that saw L.A. home prices skyrocket, The Times compiled a list of the newest neighborhoods to join the proverbial "million-dollar club," where the typical single-family home value is above $1 million. Five years later, plenty more have made the cut. Whereas the previous group featured trendy L.A. neighborhoods (Echo Park, Highland Park), South L.A. enclaves (Crenshaw, Leimert Park) and slices of the San Fernando Valley (Porter Ranch, Woodland Hills),
