Sunset Vine Tower Apartments: Rents, Floor Plans and Review (Hollywood)

Last updated: October 31, 2026. By the Apartments Club Editorial Team.

At a glance: 1480 Vine St, Los Angeles, CA 90028 · Hollywood · managed or marketed by SRG Residential · built 2009 · asking rents from $3,400 to $10,350 a month as of October 31, 2026.

Sunset Vine Tower is a high-rise rental building at 1480 Vine Street, at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Vine Street in the middle of Hollywood. Listing data gives a 2009 completion date, and the building is marketed by SRG Residential under the INSTRATA Lifestyle Residences name. It offers one- and two-bedroom apartments only, so there are no studios here.

The listing highlights soaring 13-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, gourmet kitchens with Caesarstone counters and a heated saltwater pool. With asking rents from $3,400 for a one-bedroom, it sits in the middle of the LA luxury market rather than at the very top, though its largest two-bedroom units were advertised above $10,000.

Location and neighborhood

Sunset and Vine is one of the busiest intersections in Hollywood. The Hollywood/Vine B Line (Red) subway station is a short walk north, which makes car-free trips to Universal City, North Hollywood and downtown realistic. The ArcLight-era Cinerama Dome, the Hollywood Palladium, Amoeba Music and the restaurants of Sunset and Cahuenga are all close. The listing also points to quick access to the 101 and 110 freeways.

The trade-off is noise and street activity. This is a nightlife and tourist area, and the blocks around the building stay busy late, especially on weekends.

How these rents compare

For context, the Zillow Observed Rent Index (ZORI) for ZIP code 90028, which covers typical asking rents across all apartment types and ages in the area, was $2,633 in September 2026, up 0.9% from a year earlier. HUD’s FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rent for 90028, effective October 1, 2026, is $2,590 for a one-bedroom and $3,190 for a two-bedroom. Luxury buildings like Sunset Vine Tower typically ask well above those area-wide benchmarks, because they are newer or offer amenities, views and services that older buildings do not.

Among the other buildings we profiled this month, starting asking rents ranged from $2,260 (Hope + Flower) to $4,595 (The Glendon). Similar options:

• Via Avanti (Sherman Oaks), from $3,361
• Anara Santa Monica (Santa Monica (Mid-City)), from $3,340
• Shoreline Gateway (Downtown Long Beach), from $3,460
• Los Altos (Mid-Wilshire / Hancock Park edge), from $3,300

Pros and cons

Pros

• Steps from the Hollywood/Vine B Line station
• 13-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, per the listing
• Heated saltwater pool, dog run and EV charging
• Concierge and package lockers

Cons

• Busy, noisy intersection with heavy tourist traffic
• No studios or three-bedroom units listed
• Top two-bedrooms advertised above $10,000

Is this building right for you?

Good fit for: Entertainment-industry workers who want a short commute to the Hollywood studios, renters who want to live near the subway, and people who like a lively, walkable area with restaurants and venues on the doorstep.

Probably not for: Families who need three bedrooms (none were listed), renters who want a quiet residential street, and anyone looking for a studio.

Budget check: using the 30% rule, the cheapest unit we saw ($3,400) calls for roughly $136,000 a year in gross household income. Many large buildings also require income of 2.5 to 3 times the rent. Check your own numbers with our rent affordability calculator and estimate first-month costs with the move-in cost calculator.

Rent control: the City of Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance generally covers buildings inside city limits with a certificate of occupancy dated on or before October 1, 1978, so most newer luxury towers are not covered, though California’s statewide cap (AB 1482) can apply to buildings more than 15 years old. Cities such as Santa Monica, Culver City and West Hollywood have their own rules. Our RSO calculator explains how to check.

Touring tips

• Ask which specific units are available and on which floors; view and floor height can move the rent by hundreds or thousands of dollars in the same floor plan.
• Request the full monthly cost in writing, including parking, pet rent, storage, utilities and amenity fees.
• Ask whether specials are given as free weeks up front or spread across the lease, and how that affects renewal pricing.
• Visit at rush hour and at night to judge traffic, noise and garage access.
• Read lease terms for minimum length, early termination and renewal caps before paying a deposit.
