1830 Taft Ave

The Polynesian is a single-story mid-century condominium complex built in 1962 and designated Historic-Cultural Monument No. 1070. Composed of 23 small-scale units arranged around landscaped patios and a central courtyard, the property preserves period details such as a restored mosaic entry mural, coffered ceilings in select residences, and clean modernist lines. Units commonly feature open living/dining plans, hardwood floors, recessed lighting, crown moldings, built-in cabinetry, granite or quartz counters, stainless appliances, walk-in closets, private balconies with city or Hollywood Sign views, and wired sound infrastructure. Shared provisions include gated subterranean parking with two assigned spaces per typical two-bedroom unit plus guest stalls, on-site storage, a laundry room, and recently updated building systems including roof and elevator mechanics. The association maintains modest HOA dues and the building participates in the Mills Act historic property tax program. Its location on a tree-lined Taft Avenue places residents between Hollywood and Los Feliz, within walking distance of Franklin Village eateries, transit (near Red Line), and outdoor access to Griffith Park and Beachwood/Runyon Canyon trails, delivering a mix of urban convenience and mid-century residential character.
