About the Building
Wilshire Selby East went up in 1972 at 10747 Wilshire Boulevard, one half of a matched pair with Wilshire Selby West next door at 10751. The two towers date from the corridor's first sustained wave of high-rise construction, when apartment and condominium slabs began replacing the low buildings that had lined Wilshire through Westwood. Little has been published about the developer or architect, and the association keeps no public website, so the building's early history rests on its permit year and on what listing records describe. What is certain is the address: Westwood Village, UCLA and the hospital campus all sit within a short radius.
The tower runs fifteen storeys with roughly ninety units, a scale typical of the corridor's early-1970s buildings and modest beside the larger towers that followed through the 1980s. Listing services describe balconies on most plans, a controlled entrance and parking below the building. The structural system has never been publicly documented: high-rises of this height and era on the corridor are generally concrete-framed, but no engineering description of Selby East has been published, and that gap matters for the seismic screening questions covered further down this page. Buyers should treat construction type as a due-diligence item rather than a known fact.
Residences are one- and two-bedroom plans, with published sizes running from roughly 800 to 1,076 square feet, smaller than the corridor norm set by later towers. Listing descriptions note that many plans carry an extra room or den that owners use as a library or office, along with walk-in closets and, in renovated units, bamboo floors and recessed lighting. Because owners have updated unit by unit across five decades, interior condition varies widely, from largely original 1972 finishes to full remodels, and asking prices per square foot spread accordingly. There is no published record of penthouse or combined units.
Service is built around a staffed door. Listing services describe a doorman and twenty-four-hour security, with a pool and spa as the principal shared amenities; no gym, tennis court or valet appears in any published account. Aggregator pages state that residents pay their own electricity, cable and internet, which implies the association carries water and common-area costs, though the dues schedule and its exact inclusions are not published anywhere verifiable. The staffing roster, management arrangement and reserve position all have to come from the association's disclosure package rather than from public sources.
In the corridor market the Selby twins occupy the entry tier: smaller units, an earlier build date and simpler amenities than the full-service towers to the east, with pricing that listing services consistently place at the accessible end of the corridor. That draws buyers who want a staffed Wilshire address near Westwood Village and UCLA without the carrying costs of the larger towers. Units also surface periodically on rental sites, so investor-owners form part of the mix. With around ninety units, resale volume is steady but thin, typically a handful of closings in a year.
Amenities & Services
The Residences
Listing services put the smallest Selby East plans near 800 square feet. These one-bedroom units typically pair an open living-dining room with a compact kitchen and a balcony, and they anchor the building's entry price point.
The largest published plans reach about 1,076 square feet with two bedrooms. Across ninety units on fifteen floors that means only a few larger homes per level, and they change hands less often than the one-bedrooms.
Aggregator descriptions note that many plans include an extra room or den beyond the bedroom count. Owners use these as offices, libraries or guest space, and a genuine den materially changes how a nominal one-bedroom lives.
Most plans carry private balconies. North-facing units look across Wilshire toward the corridor's tower line; south and west exposures face lower residential streets, with longer views opening on upper floors. Outlook should be confirmed unit by unit.
Five decades of owner-by-owner renovation mean condition varies more here than in newer towers. Listings range from largely original 1972 kitchens to remodels with bamboo floors and recessed lighting, so per-square-foot pricing spreads widely.
Walk-in closets appear in listing descriptions across the plan range, generous for units of this size and era. Whether separate storage cages exist elsewhere in the building is not publicly documented; ask the association directly.
Due Diligence
Listing services describe controlled parking below the building with assigned spaces. The number of stalls per unit, guest arrangements and any tandem configurations are not published; confirm the assigned or deeded count for a specific unit before offering.
Aggregator pages state pets are allowed subject to association rules. Weight limits, breed restrictions and the number of animals permitted per unit are not published anywhere authoritative, so request the current CC&Rs and house rules before relying on this.
Selby East units appear on rental listing sites, so owner leasing evidently occurs. Whether the association caps the rental percentage or sets minimum lease terms is not published; the CC&Rs and a lender questionnaire will answer both.
Monthly dues and their inclusions are not published. Aggregator pages state residents pay their own electricity, cable and internet, implying water and common areas sit inside dues, but the budget, reserves and insurance, including any earthquake cover, need direct verification.
Los Angeles's non-ductile concrete ordinance covers concrete buildings permitted before January 13, 1977, with three-, ten- and twenty-five-year deadlines from each Order to Comply. A 1972 tower sits inside that window if concrete-framed; ask the HOA for its LADBS status.
No public record documents major capital projects at the building. For a 1972 tower the material questions are plumbing risers, elevators, waterproofing and the roof; the reserve study and two years of board minutes are the documents to request.
Listing services describe a doorman and twenty-four-hour security. Whether a manager works on site, and the full roster the dues support, are not published; both shape service levels and the operating budget, so ask the association directly.
Interior remodels in Los Angeles condominiums need both association consent and city permits. Selby East's specific alteration rules, flooring sound requirements and work-hour limits are not published; renovated listings show the association does approve substantial updates.
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.
