About the Building
Brentwood House stands at 12115 San Vicente Boulevard, a four-storey condominium building completed in 1974 with roughly fifty units, according to listing records. It occupies a stretch of San Vicente where Brentwood's shops and restaurants give way to the open green of the Brentwood Country Club, whose golf course runs along the boulevard. For buyers weighing Brentwood's condominium stock, this is one of the neighbourhood's established mid-rise addresses: large enough to support shared amenities and a professional management structure, small enough that the owner community remains a knowable group rather than an anonymous tower population.
The setting is the building's defining asset. San Vicente Boulevard through Brentwood is organised around a wide grass median planted with coral trees in the late 1940s; the City of Los Angeles designated those trees Historic-Cultural Monument No. 148 in 1976, and community groups have fought repeatedly to protect and replant them. The practical effect for a resident is a boulevard that reads as a linear park, heavily used by runners and walkers, with a protected canopy that is unlikely to be built over. Few Los Angeles condominium corridors carry that kind of formal landscape protection.
The building itself dates from the mid-1970s wave of Westside condominium construction, and aggregator listings report a common-area modernisation around 2012, though the scope of that work is not documented in public records and should be confirmed through association minutes. Listing descriptions cite controlled access, a pool and spa, a sun deck and gated resident parking. Unit descriptions across recent sales mention balconies, fireplaces in some plans and generous window lines, but interiors vary considerably from one seller to the next, as is normal in a building of this age.
Floor plans reported by listing aggregators run from one-bedroom units of roughly 950 square feet to two- and three-bedroom plans exceeding 1,800 square feet; those figures come from marketing sources rather than a published association document, so verify measurements against the assessor record for any specific unit. Units oriented toward San Vicente look across the boulevard toward the country club's fairways, an outlook that is effectively protected by the golf course itself, while other exposures face quieter residential streets. Which outlook a given unit actually enjoys should be confirmed in person rather than assumed from the address.
Public records on Brentwood House are thin, which is typical for a self-managed or quietly run association of this size, and this page states plainly where documentation runs out. The material questions for a buyer are the ones the association's own documents answer: reserve funding, insurance placement in a Westside market reshaped by the January 2025 Palisades fire, any seismic evaluation of a 1974 structure, and pending assessments. None of that is public. A standard California document request during escrow produces all of it, and the answers matter more than anything a listing portal says.
Amenities & Services
The Residences
Listing records describe one-, two- and three-bedroom plans from roughly 950 to over 1,800 square feet across about fifty units. Confirm any unit's size against the assessor parcel record, not marketing copy.
Many units carry private balconies. Front-facing plans look over the San Vicente median and toward the country club's greenery; rear and side exposures are quieter. Outlooks differ sharply by stack and floor.
Some units retain 1970s layouts; others have been opened up and re-fitted. Recent sale photography shows everything from original condition to full renovations, so price comparisons within the building need condition adjustments.
Aggregators report a common-area modernisation around 2012, but no public record documents its scope. Ask the association what was actually done, and whether major systems were included or deferred.
Listings cite a pool, spa and sun deck within a gated, controlled-access envelope. Amenity condition and hours are association matters; walk them during a viewing rather than relying on photographs.
Secure resident parking is consistently referenced in listings, with assignments varying by unit. Confirm the number of deeded or assigned spaces, guest parking arrangements and any storage allocation in the escrow documents.
Due Diligence
Public documentation on this association is thin. No published budget, reserve study or rules exist online. Everything material comes through the seller's statutory document delivery during escrow; read it before removing contingencies.
Monthly dues, what they cover and the reserve position are not publicly posted. Request the current budget, the most recent reserve study and twelve months of board minutes, and check for planned special assessments.
The January 2025 Palisades fire tightened insurance availability and pricing across the Westside. Review the association's current master policy, its renewal history and any coverage gaps; this is now a standard LA due-diligence item.
The building predates the 1978 code changes that followed later seismic research. Whether any evaluation or retrofit has been performed is not public; ask the association directly and review engineering reports if they exist.
California's SB 326 requires periodic inspection of elevated exterior elements in condominium buildings. Ask whether the inspection has been completed, what it found and whether repairs were funded from reserves or assessments.
The parcel falls within LAUSD. Nearby options families cite include Kenter Canyon Charter Elementary and the application-based Brentwood Science Magnet, but assignments are parcel-specific and change; verify through LAUSD's resident school lookup.
San Vicente is a busy arterial as well as a scenic corridor. Front units trade boulevard outlook for traffic sound; test noise levels at different hours before settling on a specific stack.
Any leasing restrictions, minimum lease terms or rental caps live in the CC&Rs and rules, none of which are published. Investors and buyers who may relocate should confirm the rental policy in writing.
Everything above is drawn from public records, city permit data and published sources. The association’s statutory disclosure package is the only authoritative answer on dues, rules, reserves, insurance and litigation — Ben will request it and read it with you before you remove contingencies.
