Here’s a nice two-bedroom unit in a fun 1950s-era building in Los Feliz. The place has a nice retro feel, but appears to have been well maintained over the years.
The kitchen is especially era-appropriate, with original tile countertops, a yellow-and-white checker-patterned floor, and a Wedgewood double oven.
The unit has two bathrooms and 1,060 square feet of floor area, with a spacious living room and a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The second bathroom appears to have been recently remodeled with new tile, fixtures, and vanity.
Other features include a living room fireplace, hardwood floors, and plenty of closet space. The building offers a parking space and an extra storage area, if necessary. Per the listing, laundry facilities are on-site, though the unit itself does not include a washer/dryer.
Asking price is $519,000, with HOA dues of just $173 per month.

Yet another "condo" that’s basically an apartment that you’re paying a mortgage on. Yeesh.

How is that any different from any other condo?

I suppose you could make that argument for any condo, sure.
To me, this is worse due to having no in-unit laundry and being basically the same sort of unremarkable 2-story building that most LA apartments are in. You’d be better off renting something like this.

Rent instead. Agree.

Old ass LA apartment asks all of your present and future moneys

typical of the over-priced, over-hyped LA housing market. outside looks kinda shabby too. Pass!

I echo the sentiments above. Good location but its just a crappy old apartment (window unit AC, no w/d, beyond dated kitchen, etc.) in a run down looking building for more than half a million United States dollars. SMDH.

Curbed LA needs to stop calling these units "condos." They are not condos because they were not originally designed as condos. They need to refer to these things as condo conversions. There is a huge difference. It’s really more of an adaptive reuse of the original reason the building was built. It’s not a 1950s era condo because it wasn’t built as a condo in the 1950s.

Apply lipstick to pig; call it a condo; lather, rinse, repeat.

Tired ass old apartment pretending to be a condo. I would think twice about renting such a dull place never mind buy it!

It’s not a condo folks. Read the listing, it’s a co-op. That may be the reason it has been on the market for 109 days without selling. In contrast, the SOLA Craftsman has been on the market nine days and is already pending.
