Little Tokyo Lofts Review 420 S San Pedro St, Downtown Los Angeles, CA 90013

All of the amenities, including parking and free guest parking

Here’s a compilation of reviews for the loft condominium building best known for its historic industrial character and full amenities, in a more affordable price range. My prayers have been answered. The building stands out as having rare free guest parking, a pool, hot tub spa and barbecue, along with 24 hour security to protect the gated property with its own guarded 5-level parking structure with elevator and deeded parking spaces. No other Downtown Los Angeles loft condominium building in this price range provides so much parking — 25 guest parking spaces allow residents to enjoy having guests visit, without parking stress or expense.

Several residents report living happily at Little Tokyo Lofts for many years! Our team has attended a wedding ceremony in the courtyard. A few of the units are double sized, created as two units, merged into one. Those units have two or more parking spaces. Many of the units have several spaces, and residents can often find an extra space for rent from the neighbors, posted on the community bulletin board.

The community has been noted for being safe and secure, as well as friendly. The residents have reported a sense of community, even meeting new friends for life. Spoiled by the freshest sushi and many of the best restaurants in all of LA, living at LTL has been a serendipitous adventure for its residents.

“Scawy on the outside purty on the inside,” according to one resident, Little Tokyo Lofts has been described as one of the friendliest loft buildings in DTLA. Residents enjoy hanging out in the courtyard, swimming pool and small but well-equipped fitness room gym. LTL is considered by some to be one of the coolest places in Downtown LA.

Everything’s within walking distance. The building itself is well built, old style massive concrete. Big windows, high ceilings, soaring concrete pillar columns, open floor plans, mostly maple wood floors, along with central air and heat. Nice.

LTL is classic loft living. Solid concrete construction, industrial elements, high ceilings with soaring pillar columns and wide open floor plans. The gym is small fitness room with some good stuff:

  • 2 treadmills with TV and ipod video hookup – amazing
  • 1 elliptical machine
  • 1 sit-down cycling machine
  • 1 weights machine
  • A set of free weights
  • A set of medicine balls
  • A yoga ball
  • Air-conditioned!!

Awesome. Now you can start eating at Curry house to go again.

Little Tokyo Lofts is greatly appreciated by its residents, but the location is not for everyone. Make sure that you’re comfortable with a neighborhood that is gritty on one side, and pritty on the other. As long as you know what you’re getting into, Little Tokyo Lofts can be a great place to buy or rent a loft. The building has long remained a favorite of Loft Blog readers.

The Bartlett Building Lofts Review 215 W 7th St, Downtown Los Angeles 90014

Bartlett Building Reviews Downtown Los Angeles Historic Core

Bartlett lofts condominium building in the Historic Corey of Downtown Los Angeles offers the most central location to shopping, walking, dining and entertainment — and it also the most central to friends who live in other loft buildings in DTLA. The beautiful historic building offers its owners substantial property tax savings because The Bartlett is an approved Mills Act historic building. This review shares some of the pros and cons of the building for prospective buyers, renters and investors who would like to do some due diligence before taking a look at Bartlett loft units for sale of for lease.

This great historical building stayed meticulously clean, has a well maintained rooftop and attentive security. While is a busy, loud area, the Bartlett is a relatively quiet condo building where renters can deal directly with individual owners instead of corporations. The units only have single pane glass windows, so the street noise does come through, especially in units that are close to 7th street. They will hear city noise like sirens, and street people yelling at all hours. Some residents find the big city noise comforting.

The Bartlett building has some really nice loft units. The busiest street in Downtown Los Angeles, some parts of 7th street are occasionally run down, dirty, chock full of homeless, mentally people, substance abusers and plenty of miscellaneous big city weirdos. Spring Street is emerging, and has some great restaurants, but the outside environment, including the sketchy parking lot across the street can give a bad vibe. The overall building feels old and outdated to some. The rooftop is definitely the best part, though there is no pool. The lack of amenities also puts the Bartlett behind some buildings in the area, including the SB Grand. The experienced Bartlett security concierge doormen and staff have a great reputation, but some say that there is no real sense of community. Those who live in a unit on the alley with no light and on a low floor max find it a bit rough, with occasional alley noise. Most residents agree that the neighbors in the Bartlett are generally quiet most of the time.

Many say that the neighborhood can be a bit loud outside, but it’s Downtown Los Angeles. It’s not a suburb. The building is often considered to be great, the neighbors are great, the staff helpful.

Parking in the area is expensive at around $200 per month, and parking in the building is even more expensive at around $250 per month. In such a busy location, parking will always will be pricey. Consider that when thinking about Downtown Los Angeles. Parking can be ridiculous by many standards. Some residents get rid of their car though. They Uber if they need to drive, or use the bus or train.

For cable TV and internet, Time Warner service has gone up to 300Mb/s for slightly less than $90. They may have gigabit for the same price now. Spectrum and AT&T offer phone and internet too.

Pets are popular at the Bartlett Building. Dogs tend to be happy campers, as they are usually appreciated by the neighbors. Cats are also heavily represented.

Most residents say that they feel very lucky to live at the Barlett. Like most older buildings, occasional maintenance can lead to temporary lack of hot water etc.

Downtown Los Angeles is energetic and dynamic. A new apple store just opened in the old home of the historic Tower Theater, within walking distance.

Food delivery is a delightful perk of this building. In addition to countless restaurants that re just steps away, many more restaurants and delivery services will quickly bring food. Some of our favorite restaurants went out of business due to virus hysteria and lockdown, but most of them are still with us.

Residents say that it feels like an old building, but in the best way possible: beautiful original tiling, marble staircase and art deco elevator doors. The rooftop provides some of the most dramatic view around.

The many of the condo units are quite beautiful, and some have a separate bedroom! The bathrooms have large bathtubs. Most units have concrete floors, some with original tile mixed in.
