2807 Highland Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90405

Hillcrest Apartments, located at 2807 Highland Avenue in Santa Monica, is one of Frank Gehry's earliest completed projects, which he occupied for approximately 15 years. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a property with both architectural significance and a legendary story. Designed in 1962, this six-unit apartment complex reflects Gehry's early architectural approach rooted in modernist principles yet hinting at the experimental, deconstructivist techniques that would later define his career. This six-unit building offers a desirable mix of two one-bedroom, one-bath units and four two-bedroom, two-bath units. The units are generously sized, featuring an open, modern aesthetic. The second-floor units boast unique atrium-style entrances, flooding the interiors with natural light and enhancing the vintage charm of 1960s architecture. This all-electric building also includes wood-burning fireplaces, adding character and appeal. Over the years, the property has been thoughtfully upgraded to meet modern standards. It now features new copper plumbing, updated electrical systems, on-site laundry facilities, and potential for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The property also includes six covered parking spaces, plus one tandem space. Additionally, the former sauna has been repurposed into a bike storage, and individual tenant storage spaces are available.
