(42,675 posts)I hope I did not offend you either, as that was not my intent.
Those condos are great, but are now crazy overpriced (as is all of LA tbf).
Those pics also (of course, as they are from a realtor site) glam them up, and there are non fully-rehabbed units that are not so nice on the inside. The La Villa Marina development was built in the mid 1960s to 1970 or so (our unit was built in 1966 if memory serves) as a number of smaller complexes that were named for Italian cities (Villa Spezia, Villa Romano, Villa Napoli, Villa San Cipriano, etc etc, and some French cities as well, ike Villa San Tropez, Villa Toulon, etc), and some are the worse for wear.
I just am a huge fangirl of mid century modern architecture and design (deffo not so common in London or Stockholm, lol, albeit there is more in the UK than Sweden).
