Location
While both The Addison and The Ainsley are located within Los Angeles’ vibrant Melrose District, each community is at the center of a different pace of life.
Just off Melrose Place, The Addison sways on the side of understated elegance, channeling sophistication at every turn. The highly walkable neighborhood has upscale and trendy boutique shops and restaurants on every corner. Take a Saturday afternoon to browse high-end fashion and sip down a matcha latte from Alfred Coffee.
Around the corner is The Ainsley, a five-minute walk away on Sweetzer Avenue, steps from Melrose Avenue. Here, the vibe’s a little different. You’ll get all the elegance of the Melrose District with a little more edge and bustle. Spruce up your wardrobe at Reformation, then take a quick selfie at Paul Smith’s famous Pink Wall.
Architecture and Floor Plans
As a Los Angeles interpretation of New York’s Upper West Side brownstone buildings, The Addison offers two and three-level townhomes and select walk-ups. The modern Spanish-inspired architecture leaves little to be desired. Ranging from 1,244 to 3,036 square feet, the homes at The Addison are available in 1-, 2- and 3-bedrooms.
On the other hand, The Ainsley is designed in a contemporary, Tuscan-inspired architectural style. Available as either one- or two-level residences, The Ainsley is thoughtfully designed and seamlessly connects expansive interior and exterior living spaces. Rising four stories above street-level and with layouts ranging from 862 to 2,471 square feet, The Ainsley exemplifies modern spatial design, also in 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom options.
