4353 Colfax Ave

A low-rise, midcentury garden-style cooperative built in 1961, this two-story complex comprises about 44 units arranged across breezeways and landscaped courtyards. The architecture emphasizes horizontal massing, wide overhangs and midcentury details that open onto expansive green common grounds. Unit plans are predominantly one- and two-bedroom layouts with features such as open living-dining flow, hardwood floors under carpet in some units, built-in shelving, recessed lighting, breakfast bars, and a mix of countertop finishes (granite, tile, laminate). Many residences include private outdoor space—balconies, screened porches, or ground-floor patios—that face interior lawns or a private park. Shared amenities are focused on outdoor and community use: a gated sparkling pool with changing rooms, spa, large park-like lawn with benches and mature trees, covered assigned parking stalls and individual storage closets. The development is organized for pedestrian circulation with shaded breezeways and planted buffers from the street. Typical services and rules reflect cooperative ownership: board approval is required for purchases and there are shared maintenance responsibilities. Pets, parking assignments, and other policies are governed by coop bylaws. Located just off Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, the property sits within walking distance of shops, restaurants and local employers, and is reported to fall inside the Carpenter school boundaries, offering a suburban-feel, amenity-rich setting within an urban neighborhood.
