Home on a bridge? There is an affordable LA County house on the market

Waterfront views in Los Angeles County for $250,000? Yes, sort of … there is a home for sale in Alhambra, on top of an urban bridge, over the Alhambra Wash.

It's a one-bedroom, one-bath, and the monthly mortgage payment is estimated to be around $1,600 – far less than most studio apartments. Built in 1949, It is considered an "irregular lot," and a "cosmetic fixer."
