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

At a glance: 4121 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010 · Mid-Wilshire / Hancock Park edge · managed or marketed by Standard Development · asking rents from $3,300 to $25,000 a month as of October 31, 2026.

Los Altos is a historic apartment building at 4121 Wilshire Boulevard, on the stretch of Wilshire between Koreatown and Hancock Park. The listing describes it as a 1920s Spanish Revival building and a historic landmark, with restored residences that keep original tilework, hardwood floors and vintage detailing. The listing is advertised by Standard Development.

The building’s marketing says Bette Davis, William Randolph Hearst, Marion Davies and Douglas Fairbanks lived there; we have not independently verified those claims. In October 2026 the listing showed studios and a very large four-bedroom residence of about 3,090 square feet.

Location and neighborhood

The building sits on Wilshire’s Miracle Mile side of Koreatown, near the Wilshire Ebell Theatre and the historic homes of Hancock Park and Windsor Square. Koreatown’s restaurants, spas and nightlife are a short drive or bus ride east. The Wilshire/Western D Line station is roughly half a mile east, and the D Line extension will add stations farther west along Wilshire.

How these rents compare

For context, the Zillow Observed Rent Index (ZORI) for ZIP code 90010, which covers typical asking rents across all apartment types and ages in the area, was $3,268 in September 2026, down 0.2% from a year earlier. HUD’s FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rent for 90010, effective October 1, 2026, is $3,150 for a one-bedroom and $3,890 for a two-bedroom. Luxury buildings like Los Altos 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:

• Anara Santa Monica (Santa Monica (Mid-City)), from $3,340
• Via Avanti (Sherman Oaks), from $3,361
• Esprit Marina del Rey (Marina del Rey), from $3,206
• Sunset Vine Tower (Hollywood), from $3,400

Pros and cons

Pros

• 1920s Spanish Revival landmark with original details
• Studios advertised from $3,300
• Pets allowed
• About half a mile to Wilshire/Western

Cons

• Few modern amenities listed
• Vintage building systems (gas heating per listing)
• Historic claims are from marketing, not verified

Is this building right for you?

Good fit for: Lovers of historic architecture, renters who want old-Hollywood character instead of a glass tower, and people who want a studio in a landmark building.

Probably not for: Renters who want resort amenities such as a pool and gym; the listing does not mention them.

Budget check: using the 30% rule, the cheapest unit we saw ($3,300) calls for roughly $132,000 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. Older buildings like this one deserve a closer look. 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.
