1700 Pierce St

An eight-story midcentury co-op built in 1959, this low-rise residence sits in East Hollywood’s Lakes district close to Young Circle, downtown shops, and the beach. The property contains studios, one- and two-bedroom plans arranged across relatively small floor plates — about four units per corridor in many listings — served by a recently replaced elevator and closed interior hallways. Typical interiors emphasize practical upgrades: remodeled kitchens with granite or quartz counters, stainless-steel appliances, laminate or tile floors, renovated baths, and impact windows or doors. Many units feature screened or open balconies with long views over the adjacent Hollywood Beach Golf Resort, and some offer bright corner exposures and high ceilings. Building-level amenities are modest and oriented to convenience and everyday living: on-site coin laundry, storage lockers, bicycle rack and garage parking, plus exterior improvements noted in recent years including fresh paint, updated piping, new paving and a 40-year certification. The community enforces age and occupancy rules — predominantly over-55 co-op restrictions in many listings — with limits on pets and rentals; financing options vary and some units have been marketed with seller financing. Maintenance assessments cover utilities like water in several units. The location supports a walkable lifestyle with shuttle access to the Broadwalk, nearby restaurants, grocery stores and arts venues, making the building a practical choice for downsizers or second-home buyers seeking close-in coastal access without high-rise scale.
