Light Filled TIC in Silver Lake

Posted: September 23, 2025

After graduating from Art Center in Pasadena, our client was ready to move on from the Pasadena condo we helped her find. With her sights set on Silver Lake and Echo Park, we started the search with a max budget up to $600,000. She wanted something tasteful, remodeled, and move-in ready. Given the options, we skipped over SL / EP condos in that price range and focused strictly on TICs. A TIC, or Tenants in Common, is basically a way for a small group of buyers to co-own a property like a duplex or triplex, with each person having the right to live in their own unit—it’s a smart, often more affordable way to get into neighborhoods that might otherwise feel out of reach.

Shortly after negotiating this off-market TIC and securing it under asking, she moved into her light-filled upstairs unit at 3944 1/2 Marathon within reach of Sqrl, Courage Bagels, and all the shops on Hoover.
