700 S Lake Ave

700 South Lake is a gated, low-rise condominium complex built in 1974 and organized as single-level residences across a single story footprint. The property reads as a collection of townhome-style and stacked-one-level units with a mix of one- and two-bedroom floor plans (many listings show two-bedroom layouts), vaulted or high ceilings, generous windows and balcony/patio exposures that emphasize tree-top views over the Madison Heights/South Lake corridor. Interiors commonly feature hardwood or upgraded resilient flooring, fireplaces, formal dining rooms, in-unit laundry and a range of midcentury-to-contemporary finishes—granite or quartz counters, crown moldings, built-ins and dual-sink primary baths in several units. Building systems include gated pedestrian and vehicular access from Lake Avenue, subterranean secured garage parking with assigned tandem or side-by-side spaces plus storage lockers, elevator service to upper levels, and interior corridors. Shared amenities center on a landscaped courtyard with a pool and spa, exterior lighting and awnings, and modestly scaled common areas that reinforce a quiet, residential character. The complex’s location places it within short walking distance of cafés, restaurants and shops along South Lake, with proximate institutional neighbors such as Caltech and cultural destinations in Old Town Pasadena.
