About the Building
Le Parc is a guard-gated condominium enclave at 10100 through 10128 Empyrean Way in Century City, built in 1979 as a low-rise alternative to the district's towers. The complex comprises three-storey buildings in a French-inflected style, set around fountains, mature planting and internal drives, with listing sources counting 176 residences. The developer and architect are not prominently documented in public sources, which is common for condominium projects of this era; what is well documented is the format, a fully staffed, gated community on quiet cul-de-sac streets between Century Park East and the Beverly Hills border.
The structure of ownership is straightforward low-rise condominium: wood-frame buildings of three storeys over parking, standard fee-simple title, and a single homeowners association controlling everything inside the gates. For buyers, the practical meaning is that Le Parc behaves like a private neighbourhood rather than a tower, with entry controlled at staffed gatehouses around the clock and vehicles screened before reaching the front doors. There is no hotel component, no retail and no through traffic, which is precisely the appeal for buyers leaving larger houses who want security without high-rise living.
Listing sources broadly agree on 176 units in two- to four-bedroom configurations, though they conflict on sizes: most cite roughly 1,700 to 3,300 square feet, while at least one lists a materially smaller range, so verify any unit's recorded area with the LA County Assessor. Many residences live like small townhouses, with fireplaces, high ceilings in upper units, and multiple patios or balconies opening to the gardens. As with any 1979 complex, interiors span original condition to complete contemporary rebuilds, and the renovation gap is priced accordingly in resales.
The association runs a genuine amenity programme for a complex of this size: two swimming pools with spas, two tennis courts, a fitness centre, a clubhouse with card and meeting rooms, guest parking and on-site professional management, all behind 24-hour staffed gates. Landscaping, the fountain courts and common-area maintenance are handled by the association, while owners pay their own electricity, cable and internet according to listing sources. The full schedule of dues inclusions, and whether the master policy carries earthquake cover, is not publicly documented and should be confirmed from the association's budget during escrow.
Le Parc's value case is scarcity of format: guard-gated, low-rise, garden-set condominiums barely exist elsewhere on the Westside's prime corridor, and the complex sits minutes from Westfield Century City, the district's offices and Beverly Hills. Supply is fixed at the original unit count, turnover is modest and demand skews toward downsizers and professionals wanting lock-and-leave security. The counterweights to underwrite are the age of building systems, the association's reserve position for roofs, waterproofing and paving across a large landscaped site, and homeowner insurance dynamics affecting all wood-frame California associations.
Amenities & Services
The Residences
Three-storey buildings from 1979 set among fountains and mature landscaping give Le Parc the feel of a private neighbourhood rather than a tower, with no retail or through traffic inside the gates.
Listing sources agree on roughly 176 residences but conflict on size ranges, most citing about 1,700 to 3,300 square feet. Verify any specific unit's recorded area with the LA County Assessor.
Many plans include fireplaces, multiple patios or balconies and, in upper units, high ceilings, so residences live like small houses with the association handling everything beyond the front door.
The mix runs from two-bedroom units to four-bedroom layouts per listing sources, unusually large for Westside condominiums of the era and suited to buyers downsizing from single-family houses.
Interiors span original 1979 condition to full contemporary rebuilds. The gap is real money; walk several listings to calibrate what renovated stock commands inside the gates.
Views here are internal: fountain courts, lawns and tree canopy rather than city panoramas. Buyers wanting skyline views should look at the district's towers instead.
Due Diligence
Units have assigned garage or covered parking and the complex provides guest parking, per listing sources, but the exact spaces conveying with any residence are not publicly documented; confirm in escrow.
Listing sources indicate pets are permitted subject to association rules, but current limits on number, size and breed are not published. Request the rules and regulations before removing contingencies.
Le Parc units appear on the rental market, so leasing is permitted in some form, but minimum lease terms and any rental caps are not publicly documented. Verify current policy with the association.
Dues fund the staffed gates, grounds, pools, tennis courts, clubhouse and on-site management; owners pay their own electricity, cable and internet per listing sources. Confirm full inclusions from the budget.
The buildings are 1979 wood-frame construction over parking; no retrofit history or engineering assessment is publicly documented. Ask the association about any evaluations and whether the master policy includes earthquake cover.
No current capital programme or special-assessment history is publicly documented. For a landscaped 1979 complex, roofs, waterproofing, paving and pool plant dominate reserves, so read the reserve study closely.
Gatehouses are staffed around the clock and management is on site, a payroll that anchors the dues. Service continuity is a strength; its cost is permanent and should be underwritten as such.
Interior renovations require association approval, and work affecting shared walls, patios or exteriors faces tighter review in a uniform garden complex. Obtain the architectural guidelines before planning any project.
