The Charleston Apartments is a mid-rise multifamily residential community located in the highly desirable Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles, immediately west of Downtown Los Angeles.
The Charleston Apartments is a historic fixture of the Westlake/MacArthur Park district. Built in 1924 during the peak of Los Angeles’ post-WWI population and building boom, it features a 4-story layout designed with high density in mind, housing 133 micro-units. This downtown-adjacent location is built in a Pre-War/Early 20th Century Commercial Vernacular style. This brick structure was constructed with a focus on high-density urban utility. It showcases the early multi-family brick apartment style that heavily populated Westlake during LA's 1920s population boom.
The interior layout emphasizes efficient micro-living (mostly small studio units), detailed crown moldings, high ceilings, and classic cast-iron radiator heating systems. The apartment community offers thoughtfully designed studio and one-bedroom apartment homes that provide residents with comfortable urban living in one of the city's most connected locations. Featuring contemporary architecture and professionally maintained common areas, the Charleston combines convenience with modern living accommodations. Residents benefit from controlled building access, elevator service, on-site laundry facilities, and professional on-site management.
