Kurve: Luxury Apartments in Koreatown, Rent Prices & Amenities

Last updated: October 29, 2026. By the Apartments Club Editorial Team.

At a glance: 2801 Sunset Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90005 · Westlake/Koreatown edge · asking rents from $2,228 to $19,262 a month as of October 2026.

Kurve on Wilshire, usually just called Kurve, is the 23-story curved tower at 2801 Sunset Place, at the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Hoover Street on the line between Koreatown and Westlake. It was developed by Hankey Investment Company and Jamison Properties, the same group behind Circa, and its first residents moved in in 2021. The project has 644 apartments and was designed by Large Architecture.

The curved glass facade gives the building its name, and it advertises about an acre of elevated rooftop amenities. In October 2026 studios started around $2,200 a month, the lowest entry price among the towers in this series, while penthouse listings reached close to $20,000.

Location and neighborhood

Kurve is a few blocks east of the Wilshire/Vermont Metro station on the B and D lines, which makes downtown and Hollywood easy without a car. Koreatown’s famous late-night restaurants, karaoke bars and spas are just west; MacArthur Park and Lafayette Park are close by to the east and north. The 110 and 101 freeways are a short drive away.

This stretch of Wilshire is still changing, and street conditions vary block by block, so walk the area at different times before you commit. Read our Koreatown neighborhood guide for more on the area.

Apartments for rent at Kurve

Kurve offers studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and two- and three-bedroom penthouses. Advertised sizes in October 2026 ranged from about 550 to 2,800 square feet.

Based on the units advertised on October 28, 2026, asking rents ranged from $2,228 to $19,262 a month, per Highrises.com (Realtor.com network, listing data supplied by Zillow). Here is the breakdown by unit type:

Unit type	Asking rent (Oct 2026)	Size
Studio	$2,228 – $2,858	553 – 695 sq ft
1 bedroom	$2,864 – $3,986	750 – 953 sq ft
2 bedroom	$4,262 – $5,296	1,116 – 1,415 sq ft
2 bedroom penthouse	$9,507 – $19,262	1,655 – 2,802 sq ft
3 bedroom penthouse	$17,798	2,614 sq ft

Kurve’s official website did not publish unit prices on the pages we could load on October 28, 2026, but it was advertising up to six weeks of free base rent plus a $1,000 look-and-lease credit on select units, which would lower the effective rent compared with the asking figures above.

How it compares with other LA luxury rentals

We reviewed advertised rents at 25 of the priciest rental communities in Los Angeles County on October 28, 2026. Ranked by the highest monthly asking rent, Kurve came in at number 5. For context, here is what several other high-end buildings were asking on the same day (same source):

• Ten Thousand (Century City): $13,600 – $27,000 a month
• Olympic + Hill (Downtown LA (South Park)): $2,499 – $24,434 a month
• Circa LA (Downtown LA (South Park)): $2,653 – $23,216 a month
• THEA at Metropolis (Downtown LA): $2,786 – $22,514 a month
• Vision on Wilshire (Miracle Mile): $4,499 – $18,699 a month
• The Landmark Los Angeles (Brentwood/West LA): $3,250 – $17,950 a month

Keep in mind that the top of each range is usually driven by one or two penthouse or oversized units, so the starting rent and the mix of unit sizes often say more about a building than its single most expensive listing. Linked names go to our full profile of that building.

Touring tips

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

Who it suits

Kurve suits Koreatown fans, transit commuters and renters who want a new high-rise for less than downtown or the Westside typically charge. The penthouses appeal to people who want a big, unusual layout with city views and are comfortable in a fast-changing neighborhood.

Can you afford it?

A common rule of thumb is to keep rent near 30% of gross income, which means a $2,228 apartment calls for roughly $89,000 a year in household income, and the top-end unit far more. Many luxury buildings also ask for income of two and a half to three times the rent.
