ARQ is a 31-story rental tower at 3311 South La Cienega Boulevard, the centerpiece of the Cumulus District mixed-use development at La Cienega and Jefferson. Greystar manages it, and listing data gives a 2020 completion date. The building calls itself the tallest free-standing structure in the area.

Greystar advertises total monthly prices, meaning the figures shown include base rent and all mandatory monthly fees. Amenities named in the listing include a pool, spa, cabanas, a yoga studio, a movie room, a coffee bar, a dining room, concierge and gated entry. Ceilings run from 9 to 11 feet in select homes.

Location and neighborhood

The Cumulus District sits on the line between West Adams and the Culver City border. The La Cienega/Jefferson E Line station is next door, with trains to Santa Monica and downtown. Downtown Culver City, the Platform shopping center and the studio lots are a short drive or bike ride away, and the 10 Freeway is close. The site is mixed-use, so ground-floor retail and a grocery store are part of the district.

How these rents compare

For context, the Zillow Observed Rent Index (ZORI) for ZIP code 90016, which covers typical asking rents across all apartment types and ages in the area, was $3,296 in September 2026, down 1.9% from a year earlier. HUD’s FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rent for 90016, effective October 1, 2026, is $2,270 for a one-bedroom and $2,800 for a two-bedroom. Luxury buildings like ARQ 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:

• Esprit Marina del Rey (Marina del Rey), from $3,206
• Los Altos (Mid-Wilshire / Hancock Park edge), from $3,300
• Anara Santa Monica (Santa Monica (Mid-City)), from $3,340
• Via Avanti (Sherman Oaks), from $3,361

Pros and cons

Pros

• Next to the La Cienega/Jefferson E Line station
• Pool, cabanas, yoga studio and movie room
• Total monthly pricing includes mandatory fees
• Studios advertised near $3,150

Cons

• No three-bedroom units listed
• Busy arterial location at La Cienega and Jefferson
• Top two-bedroom units advertised above $12,500

Is this building right for you?

Good fit for: Commuters who use the E Line, Culver City tech and media workers, and renters who want high-rise views on the Westside without Westside high-rise prices on smaller units.

Probably not for: Renters who want an established, tree-lined neighborhood and those who need three bedrooms (none were listed).

Budget check: using the 30% rule, the cheapest unit we saw ($3,147) calls for roughly $126,000 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.
