1701 Clinton St APT 325, Los Angeles, CA 90026

If you've spent any time at the lovely Echo Park Lake, you've probably noticed this iconic building perched just above it. This is Lago Vista, a 1973 modernist complex designed by noted LA architect Allyn E. Morris. It's one of Echo Park's most recognizable buildings and still, somehow, also one of its best-kept secrets. This two-level townhouse-style condo within the complex blends mid-century character with a relaxed, design-forward feel, featuring two bedrooms, one bathroom, white-painted exposed beams, a skylight, a wide panoramic window framed by lush greenery, and a large private balcony that extends the living space outdoors. Tucked into a quieter corner of the building and surrounded by palms and mature landscaping, the home feels private, shaded, and a bit removed from the street in the best way. Cobalt blue tile accents and warm textures add depth and personality throughout, giving the space a creative, lived-in edge that feels true to Echo Park. The home also includes gated tandem parking for two and access to Lago Vista's signature teardrop-shaped pool. Ideally located in the heart of Echo Park, just footsteps from the lake's swan boats and a short walk to neighborhood favorites like The Echoplex, Little Joy, and Donna's, plus the shops and energy of Sunset Boulevard. It's a place that feels distinctly Echo Park, in all the right ways. Come see it for yourself.
