5301 Yarmouth Ave

La Villa Grande is a low-rise condominium complex built in 1969, arranged across three stories and composed primarily of two-bedroom residences with occasional larger floorplans. The architecture reads as mid-century multi-family with modest exterior detailing — awnings and rain gutters, gated entrances, and a central courtyard that organizes common outdoor space. Units favor single-level living with features such as open floor plans, recessed lighting, crown molding and traditional millwork, granite or tile counters, walk-in closets, and pantry/storage areas. Many homes report updated kitchens and baths, double-pane windows, laminate or hardwood-like floors, and in-unit laundry. Shared amenities include elevator access to upper floors, a fenced swimming pool set within the landscaped courtyard, a community meeting/recreation room, and secure gated parking (side-by-side spaces or covered carport stalls) with dedicated storage bins. Building systems have been modernized in parts — re-piped plumbing, a refreshed roof, and a new water heater — and there is a perimeter security system with cameras. The complex sits on a tree-lined Encino street within walking distance of Ventura Boulevard’s shops and restaurants, public transit, and freeway access, offering a suburban-urban blend of neighborhood quiet and everyday convenience. Pet and specific service policies vary by unit; HOA manages common maintenance and typically keeps dues modest.
