By The Numbers: 2025
How We Outperform the Market
Los Angeles homes in our care run 76% occupancy while the city average hovers at 45.6%, according to data collected via Airbnb.
Thorough SEO, rapid maintenance, and on-the-ground hospitality teams keep calendars full and owners’ income steady.
Our listings draw almost three times the impressions—153% higher— than comparable homes during May ’24 → Apr ’25, according to data collected through Airbnb.
High-impact photography, A/B-tested headlines, and dynamic pricing tools keep us locked above the fold, reaching travelers before they even start filtering.
Airbnb shows our homes on page 1 of search results 55.7% of the time, weighted across 12 months from April 2024 – April 2025.
That means every other guest search in our price bands starts with an Open Air Homes listing—boosting inquiries and brand awareness for every owner in the portfolio.
Out of every 10,000 search impressions, we convert 18 bookings versus the market’s 11—a 60 % uplift on Airbnb.
This efficiency turns views into paid nights, raises annual revenue, and shields owners from slow seasons when every inquiry counts.
Guests stay 9.7 days with us; the market averages 4.8 days according to “similar listings” in Airbnb Insights. That’s 102% longer than the market average.
Longer stays cut turnover costs, boost review volume, and reduce neighborhood churn, creating a sustainable growth loop.

Understanding STR Permits and Monthly Rental Options
Flexible Plans to Fit Your Home’s Status
Homes in Highland Park fall under LA’s citywide STR rules. If you live in the property full-time, you may qualify for a home-sharing permit with a 120-night cap. We can assist you in applying and setting up your listing to maximize exposure.
If your home doesn’t qualify for an STR permit, we’ll shift your strategy to monthly rental management, where extended stays of 30+ days bring in consistent income—legally and safely.

💬 List Your Home FAQ
1. Can I legally do short-term rentals in Highland Park?
Yes — if the home is your primary residence and you register for a Home Sharing Permit under the City of Los Angeles ordinance, short-term rentals under 30 days are allowed. If your property doesn’t meet those criteria, we specialize in fully legal monthly rentals with no permit required.
2. What’s included in your monthly rental management service?
We offer a turnkey management solution that covers everything from listing and pricing to guest support and cleanings. Our team handles professional photos, PriceLabs pricing, CAR lease drafting, and maintenance coordination so you don’t have to lift a finger.
3. Do you help with long-term leasing too, or just monthly rentals?
We do both. Open Air Homes is a licensed California brokerage (DRE #02164159), so we can offer 12-month leases in addition to 30+ day rentals. Our leasing division handles MLS listings, tenant screening, and CAR-compliant contracts, giving you flexibility and full legal protection.
4. What makes Highland Park a good market for monthly rentals?
5. How much can I earn by renting my home monthly in Highland Park?
Furnished rentals here often earn 20–30% more than an unfurnished annual lease, particularly homes with charm, views, or ADUs. Seasonal adjustments and flexible pricing help maximize your earnings while maintaining consistent occupancy.
6. What kind of guests book longer stays in Highland Park?
We typically host traveling professionals, creatives, families relocating to LA, and digital nomads. Guests tend to stay for 1–6 months and prefer quiet streets, unique architecture, and modern interiors — all things Highland Park is known for.
7. What makes your rental management approach different?
Our service blends hospitality and real estate compliance. As a brokerage, we use CAR forms and a legally backed leasing process, but we also offer a hospitality-first approach: responsive guest support, high-quality cleanings, and hands-on oversight.
8. How do you determine monthly pricing for Highland Park homes?
We use PriceLabs, Airbnb market data, and internal booking trends from over 14 years of operations. Every lease amount is reviewed and signed off by our Broker of Record to ensure it’s both competitive and fully compliant with California leasing laws.
