About 729 S Union Ave

Property Id: 2775563 Jose - leasing & property manager Charleston Apartments 729 S Union Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90017 Hours - 9:00 am to 5:00 pm (Monday through Friday) The Charleston Apartments is a 133-unit multifamily community located in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles. Originally constructed in 1924, the Charleston Apartments is a four-story multifamily property with 133 apartment units. The apartment community is located in Westlake, one of Los Angeles’ most densely populated and centrally located neighborhoods, offering residents convenient access to Downtown Los Angeles, Koreatown, major employment centers and a wide range of retail, dining and transit options. From its inception, the property was built around the concept of high-density efficiency. Rather than sprawling multi-room family flats, the Sonora/Charleston featured 133 distinct units—primarily ultra-compact micro-studios spanning just about 200 square feet. It offered affordable urban living featuring built-in conveniences of the time, such as an elevator and innovative bathroom spaces (including distinct sunken bathtubs that remain a vintage quirk of some units today). As the Westlake neighborhood transitioned over the decades into a dense, working-class transit hub, the building shifted from its origins as a trendy 1920s mid-rise to a critical pocket of naturally occurring affordable housing. Today, it operates as one of the most affordable entry-level apartment buildings on the periphery of Downtown LA, retaining its original 1924 layout, vintage elevator, & century-old brick character. The Westlake remains one of Southern California’s most dynamic rental housing markets, benefiting from its central location and strong connectivity to employment hubs throughout the greater Los Angeles region. The Charleston Apartments' proximity to Downtown LA and major transit corridors continues to support resident demand.

729 S Union Ave is located in the 90017 Zip code of Los Angeles, CA.
