Southern California has a deeper stock of historic homes than its reputation suggests: Victorians in Angelino Heights, Craftsman bungalows in Highland Park and Pasadena, Spanish Colonial Revival homes from the 1920s, and the modernist houses that made Los Angeles famous. Many are protected by a city program, and many carry a Mills Act contract that can lower the property taxes for the next owner.
This page sorts the historic homes for sale in Los Angeles and Orange counties by what protects them: a Mills Act contract, Historic-Cultural Monument status in the City of Los Angeles, a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, or a historic landmark or register listing. Each home is placed by what its listing says, highest price first.

Homes are included when the listing description says the home has a Mills Act contract, is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, is in a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, or is a designated landmark or on a historic register. Mentions of what a home could qualify for are left out. The designation comes from the listing agent and should be confirmed with the city. Listings provided by CRMLS. “Listed by” identifies the listing agent and brokerage; Kyle Shutts and Arbor Real Estate are the advertising broker unless otherwise noted. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed and should be independently verified. Inquiries are answered by Kyle Shutts, Arbor Real Estate.
The Four Kinds of Historic Designation
Mills Act Homes
The Mills Act is a California law that lets cities give owners of historic homes a property tax reduction in exchange for preserving the home. The owner signs a contract with the city, agrees to maintain and restore the property, and the county assessor then values the home by a formula based on its rental income instead of its sale price.
Historic-Cultural Monuments
Historic-Cultural Monuments are the City of Los Angeles's individually designated landmarks. The program began with the Cultural Heritage Ordinance of 1962, and the city has designated more than 1,300 monuments since, from Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House (monument number 12) to modest bungalows tied to the people who lived in them.
HPOZ Homes
A Historic Preservation Overlay Zone is a neighborhood-wide historic district in the City of Los Angeles. The city adopted the HPOZ ordinance in 1979 and has 35 zones today, ranging from about 50 parcels to more than 4,000 properties, among them Angelino Heights, Highland Park and Garvanza, Carthay Circle, Miracle Mile, Wilshire Park and Jefferson Park.
Landmarks & Registers
Beyond Los Angeles's monuments, most cities in Southern California keep their own landmark lists, Long Beach and Pasadena among them, and homes can also be listed on the California Register of Historical Resources or the National Register of Historic Places.
Questions
Historic Homes FAQ
How many historic homes are for sale in Los Angeles and Orange County?
138 homes for sale describe a historic designation in their listings: 78 with a Mills Act contract, 8 Historic-Cultural Monuments, 46 in an HPOZ, 28 landmarks or on a historic register. Some have more than one. Asking prices range from $249,000 to $20,000,000.
What makes a home officially historic?
A home is officially historic when a government designates it: as a local landmark or monument, as a contributor to a historic district or overlay zone, or by listing it on the California or National Register. Age alone does not make a home historic.
Do historic homes cost more to own?
Sometimes less. A Mills Act contract can lower the property tax bill, often substantially for a new owner. On the other side, exterior changes usually need city review, and restoration work can cost more than ordinary remodeling.
Can I remodel a historic home?
Usually, with review. Interiors are often unrestricted, while exterior changes, additions and demolition go through the city. The rules depend on the designation, so ask the city what applies to a specific address before you buy.
