- Prime Location
Situated in the heart of Sherman Oaks, the property offers exceptional walkability to Ventura Boulevard's upscale dining and shopping, along with convenient access to the 101 and 405 freeways.

The association fee includes earthquake insurance and roof maintenance, offering owners substantial financial protection and reducing the risk of unexpected capital expenditures.
