Elegance Kiowa is a 30-unit condominium building at 11928 Kiowa Ave in Brentwood, a few blocks off Wilshire and San Vicente boulevards. Units here have recently traded from about $1,025,000 for a two-bedroom to $1,575,000 for a larger three-bedroom, with per-square-foot pricing running roughly $700 to $860 across sales from 2022 through 2025. That places it squarely in Brentwood’s $1M-plus condo tier, on the Westside rather than the Hollywood side of the city.
The value proposition is location plus space. This is a full-amenity building with a pool, gated parking, a fitness center, a sauna, and controlled access, holding both two-bedroom and larger three-bedroom, three-bath floor plans within walking distance of San Vicente’s shops and dining. Buyers get a Brentwood 90049 address and a genuine three-bedroom option, which is scarce in a condo at this price.

Elegance Kiowa trades on a Brentwood address and usable space. It is a small, 30-unit building, so the day-to-day feel is quieter and more residential than a large tower, but the amenity list still runs to a pool, fitness center, sauna, billiards room, and gated parking behind controlled access. The draw is a low-key Westside base with real square footage and a walkable stretch of San Vicente a few blocks away.
The trade-off is straightforward. Buyers pay a Brentwood premium, with recent sales clearing $1M and running past $1.5M, in exchange for the location, the space, and a genuine three-bedroom option. For a buyer who wants the Westside and does not want to stretch to a single-family price, that is the entire point.
The building holds 30 units across three stories at 11928 Kiowa Ave, Los Angeles 90049, built in 1974. It is a mid-size, low-rise condominium building rather than a sprawling community or a high-rise, which keeps the density low and the common areas manageable.
The unit mix is broader than most buildings this size. Elegance Kiowa holds both two-bedroom floor plans in the range of roughly 1,322 to 1,468 square feet and larger three-bedroom, three-bath plans running up to about 1,967 square feet. Position within the building matters here: floor, exposure, and outlook vary unit to unit, and that variation shows up in price.
Elegance Kiowa is a controlled-access building with secured, gated parking. Access control and a defended parking structure are standard expectations at this price on the Westside, and they are part of why the building draws buyers who travel or want a lock-and-leave base. Confirm the specific entry system and any on-site management arrangement for a target unit, since a 30-unit building is typically self- or lightly managed rather than fully staffed.
The building fits three buyers cleanly. First, right-sizers who want to stay in Brentwood but trade a house for a lower-maintenance condo without giving up a third bedroom. Second, professionals who value the Westside location and the walk to San Vicente. Third, buyers moving up from a smaller Westside condo who want more square footage and a full amenity set. Each is buying the same thing from a different angle: a Brentwood address with usable space and services.
Elegance Kiowa sits in the heart of Brentwood, the Westside district bounded roughly by the 405, Sunset Boulevard, and Wilshire. The character here is residential and established, with tree-lined streets, low-rise scale, and a walkable commercial spine along San Vicente Boulevard. The building’s position a few blocks off Wilshire and San Vicente puts everyday shopping, dining, and services within walking distance while keeping the unit on a quieter side street.
For buyers weighing Brentwood against other Westside pockets, this is the trade: you pay for one of the most established addresses on the Westside and get the walkability and services that come with it, at a condo price rather than a Brentwood single-family price.
San Vicente is Brentwood’s signature street, a landscaped, coral-tree-lined boulevard that functions as both a commercial hub and the neighborhood’s outdoor gathering space. The stretch near the building carries a dense run of restaurants, cafes, a grocery, fitness studios, and the Sunday farmers market, and its wide median is a fixture for runners and walkers. For an Elegance Kiowa owner, the practical payoff is that most weekly errands and a real dining scene sit within a short walk, which is a meaningful part of what the Brentwood premium buys.
Elegance Kiowa is unusual for a small building in offering both two- and three-bedroom homes. Two-bedroom plans run roughly 1,322 to 1,468 square feet, while three-bedroom, three-bath plans reach about 1,967 square feet. Recorded features across units include in-unit washer and dryer, private balconies, large windows, walk-in closets, and wet bars, which points to the larger, entertainment-oriented floor plans common to well-built 1970s Westside condos.
Next move: when you target a unit, confirm the specific square footage, floor, bedroom count, and exposure against the last comparable sale in the building. A two-bedroom and a three-bedroom here are different products at different prices, so match the comp to the exact plan rather than the building average.
The amenity set is deep for a 30-unit building. Residents have access to a swimming pool, a fitness center, a sauna, a billiards room, secured and gated parking, and controlled building access. That is a fuller program than many small Westside condo buildings, which often offer only a pool or a gym, and it is part of the practical justification for the HOA dues.
For buyers comparing Brentwood condos, the combination of a genuine three-bedroom option and a full amenity list in a low-density building is the differentiator. Confirm which amenities are currently in service and any usage rules with the HOA before an offer, since a smaller building’s amenities depend on adequate reserves to maintain.
The current HOA figure is not reliably confirmed for this building. A dollar figure circulating online appears to conflate a neighboring Kiowa Ave building, so treat any unconfirmed number with caution. In a building of this vintage and size, dues typically cover water, sewer, trash, building insurance, exterior and common-area maintenance, and the pool, sauna, fitness, and parking amenities, but confirm the exact package on the specific unit.
Read the dues as part of the price. A 30-unit building spreads shared costs, including any major repair, across fewer owners than a large community, so the reserve health matters more here, not less. Before an offer, pull the current HOA financials and reserve study and confirm both the monthly figure and what it includes for the target unit.
The building falls within the Los Angeles Unified School District. As with all LAUSD addresses, specific school assignments are set by attendance boundary and can change, so confirm the current assignment for any target unit through the district’s resolver rather than relying on a listing sheet. Brentwood is also served by a number of well-regarded private schools, which is a common consideration for buyers at this price point. The Knight Group can verify the current public assignment for a specific unit as part of due diligence.
Location is a core asset here. The building sits a few blocks off Wilshire and San Vicente in central Brentwood, which puts the 405 Freeway, the Wilshire corridor, and the Westside job centers of Century City, Santa Monica, and West LA within a short drive. For a buyer working on the Westside, the position removes a canyon or cross-town commute entirely. Confirm current drive times for your specific route, since the 405 corridor and Wilshire carry heavy peak traffic.
Unit condition is a large swing factor in this building’s pricing, and renovation is where a buyer can add value. Elegance Kiowa dates to 1974, so the usual 1970s-vintage considerations apply: original plumbing, electrical panels, and single-pane windows may warrant upgrades, and floor plans of that era sometimes benefit from opening up. Any interior work runs through the HOA’s architectural and approval process. Before budgeting a remodel, request the association’s renovation guidelines and confirm what is permitted, what needs approval, and any restrictions on flooring, plumbing relocation, or exterior-facing changes such as windows and balconies.
Parking is in a secured, gated structure. In a building this size, the specific assignment matters: how many spaces convey with a unit, whether they are side-by-side or tandem, and their location in the structure all vary. Two- and three-bedroom units may carry different allocations. Confirm the exact number of assigned spaces, the configuration, and any storage allocation for a target unit before an offer, since parking count is a real value input in a Westside condo where street parking is limited.
The building’s position opens up more than the San Vicente commercial strip. Brentwood Country Mart and the Barrington and Bundy corridors add restaurants, boutiques, and services within a short drive, and the neighborhood sits close to the trailheads and open space of the Santa Monica Mountains along Mandeville and Sullivan canyons for weekend recreation. The Wilshire corridor to the south adds larger retail and medical services. For an owner, the practical result is that daily needs, a strong dining scene, and outdoor recreation are all within a few minutes, which is a meaningful part of the Brentwood premium and a driver of resale demand.
Insurance is a standard checkpoint on any Los Angeles condo purchase in the current market. The HOA carries a master policy on the structure and common areas, but that does not replace a buyer’s own review of the master policy and a personal HO-6 walls-in policy. In the post-2025 California insurance market, confirm the master policy’s current coverage, deductibles, and any special assessments tied to insurance before removing contingencies, and confirm that a personal policy is available for the unit. A small building’s master premium is spread across only 30 owners, so a premium increase can move the dues.
Recent activity has run roughly from $1,025,000 to $1,575,000, at about $700 to $860 per square foot. By the record: unit #305, a two-bed of about 1,322 square feet, sold for $1,135,000 in April 2022 (about $858 per square foot); unit #107, a two-bed of about 1,468 square feet, sold for $1,025,000 in August 2022 (about $698 per square foot); unit #310, a three-bed, three-bath of about 1,967 square feet, sold for $1,470,000 in September 2023 (about $747 per square foot); and unit #108, a three-bed, three-bath of about 1,823 square feet, sold for $1,470,000 in April 2024 (about $806 per square foot). Unit #109 is currently listed at $1,575,000 (MLS 25557823).
The takeaway: this is a $1M-plus Brentwood building where two-bedrooms have cleared around $1.0 to $1.14M and three-bedrooms have run $1.47M and up. The per-square-foot spread is wide because the plan mix is wide, so read pricing by plan, not by a single building average.
The case rests on the address and the scarcity of the product. Brentwood 90049 is one of the most durable submarkets on the Westside, and a full-amenity condo with a genuine three-bedroom option is not common at this price. That combination supports resale demand. The offsetting factors are the building’s small size, which makes comps thinner and any special assessment heavier per owner, and the HOA, which needs confirming. Run the numbers with the actual dues, once verified, before treating a unit as an income play.
In a building with this plan mix, the largest value drivers are bedroom count, square footage, floor, exposure, renovation level, and parking allocation. A three-bedroom of nearly 2,000 square feet is a different asset than a 1,322-square-foot two-bedroom, and the sales record shows that directly. Within the same plan, floor and outlook move the number. The play is to price the specific unit against the last comparable in-building sale with the same plan and exposure, not the community median.
Demand here tracks three durable drivers. The Brentwood address and the walk to San Vicente keep the location desirable across cycles. The scarcity of a full-amenity, three-bedroom-capable condo at this price pulls right-sizers who want to stay on the Westside without a single-family price. And the Westside job centers keep a steady pool of professional buyers who value the short commute. Those forces have kept pricing in the seven-figure range across recent sales.
The building’s location and larger floor plans make it a natural rental target for Westside tenants who want space and a Brentwood address. For an owner, the rental math turns on two inputs: the HOA’s rental rules, which need confirming, and the dues, which compress the spread. Los Angeles rental regulations, including the citywide RSO framework where it applies, are a further checkpoint for any buy-to-hold plan. For a renter-buyer weighing both, the question is whether the monthly cost of ownership, dues included, beats a comparable Brentwood lease over the expected hold. Run both numbers before committing.
Kiowa Ave holds a cluster of condominium buildings, so a buyer shopping this address will often see neighboring buildings on the same street in the same search. That is useful context and a caution: pricing, HOA dues, amenities, and build quality differ building to building, and an online figure attached to one building can easily be mistaken for another. Confirm that any comp or dues figure is tied to 11928 Kiowa Ave specifically before relying on it. The Knight Group can separate the buildings and pull clean, building-specific comps.
