The ACME Home:
An Inspired Real Estate Office

At ACME, we set out to create a home for the design savvy buyers of northeast Los Angeles. With a little love from Steve Jones of bettershelter, we invented a real estate brokerage which knows what you are looking for and can get you there…

Our home is in the creative complex of Atwater Crossing Arts + Innovation Complex — have you been? Located in Atwater Village on Casitas Ave between Fletcher and Glendale, adjacent to the train tracks, we live the urban dream. We work from a home we invented! Polished concrete floors, vaulted ceilings. The desk on the right is a custom piece from NELA Business Culture member and York Boulevard design studio Matters of Space. Our jug lights are from Cisco Home on La Brea. With a mix of flea market chic and affordable modern design, we feel like we work from our living room!

If you are in the neighborhood, you can always stop by — say hi! Let’s grab lunch at Atwater Crossing Kitchen! Courtney, Nava, or Andrew will be here to greet you, welcome you in, and make you feel at home!
