1228 14Th St

A low-rise, three-story condominium built in 1971, this courtyard-style Santa Monica property contains predominantly two-bedroom residences arranged around landscaped common spaces. The exterior reads as modest mid-century multi-family architecture with gated vehicular access to an underground garage and elevator service to all levels. Units typically offer single-level, open floor plans with hardwood or laminate floors, gas fireplaces, sliding-glass doors to private patios or balconies, and galley-style kitchens updated with modern surfaces. Bedrooms are often placed on opposite sides of the living area for privacy and include generous closet storage and en suite or Jack-and-Jill bath configurations; several homes feature dual primary-suite options. Shared amenities are oriented to everyday convenience and wellness and include a fitness room, sauna, recreation room, bicycle storage, individual storage lockers, on-site laundry or in-unit washer/dryer hookups, and controlled-entry security with intercom. Practical building management covers select utilities and earthquake insurance within HOA dues, while assigned tandem or adjacent parking spaces in the subterranean garage, occasional EV charging nearby, and low-rise scale keep the community intimate. Located roughly a mile (about 14–15 blocks) from the beach, the property sits within walking distance of Montana Avenue, Wilshire Boulevard, Third Street Promenade, grocery markets, cafes and transit, offering a balanced coastal-urban lifestyle.
