Century City, Los Angeles: From Fox Backlot to a Subway Stop, Told Through 104 Home Sales

Sometime in 2027, if Metro's forecast holds, a train will stop under Constellation Boulevard at Avenue of the Stars, and Century City will have its first rail station, roughly sixty years after its towers began rising. That one change sits on top of several others: a new 37-story office tower close to finished, a hotel being rebuilt, and a long-range plan to remake the Fox studio lot to the south.

This guide tells the story of Century City's homes in the order they were built, then looks ahead. Every dollar figure comes from the closed sales recorded in ZIP code 90067 between October 6, 2025 and September 28, 2026, which I pulled on October 4, 2026. Of those 104 closings, 101 were condominiums and three were detached houses.

The outline this guide follows: ZIP code 90067

City Planning describes Century City as the land between Santa Monica Boulevard on the north and Pico Boulevard on the south, with Beverly Hills on the east and Century Park West on the west. The Los Angeles Times neighborhood map stretches the western edge farther, toward Beverly Glen Boulevard, which pulls in blocks most people would call Westwood or Cheviot Hills.

For the sales numbers I used the Census outline of ZIP code 90067, which follows the City Planning version closely, and I checked that every sold home's map point fell inside it. Every condominium tower and townhome complex listed below has a 90067 address. The search buttons further down use the same outline.

1961 to 1966: the studio sells its back lot and apartments go vertical

Twentieth Century Fox once used this ground as its backlot, and the name Century City comes from the studio. Architect Welton Becket's master plan for the land was unveiled in 1957. In 1961 Fox sold roughly 180 acres to developer William Zeckendorf and the Aluminum Company of America for about $54 million, and the first building, Gateway West at 1801 Avenue of the Stars, opened in 1963. Westfield Century City began life in 1964 as a shopping center called Century Square.

Two residential addresses from that first decade still trade today:

• Century Towers, 2220 and 2222 Avenue of the Stars. Twin towers designed by I.M. Pei, recorded in the MLS as built in 1964. They began as rental apartments and were converted to condominiums. Twelve sold in the last twelve months, at a median of $1,450,000.
• Century Park East, 2160 and 2170 Century Park East. Two buildings, both recorded in the MLS as built in 1966. These units are the smallest in the ZIP code, with a median of 853 square feet among the 14 that sold, and they produced the lowest prices: $425,000 to $850,000, median $699,500.

1979 to 1989: low-rise condos behind the office towers

The office skyline that most people picture came next. Minoru Yamasaki's Century Plaza Towers, two 44-story triangles at 2029 and 2049 Century Park East, were finished in 1975. Around the same years, developers filled the land between Avenue of the Stars and Century Park West with homes that sit close to the ground instead of above it. The names below are the ones used in listings and by the associations; the build years come from MLS records.

• Le Parc, on Empyrean Way (1979). Nine sales, median $2,965,000, from $2,250,000 to $3,725,026. These were the largest homes of this era by median size, about 2,450 square feet.
• Century Hill (1980). Nineteen sales, the most of any complex from this period, at a median of $1,707,200 and a median of 2,357 square feet. Its price per square foot, about $723, was among the lowest in the ZIP code.
• Park Place, on Century Park Lane (1985 to 1989). Seventeen sales from $980,000 to $2,300,000, median $1,280,000. Of the three low-rise complexes, Park Place also carried the lowest median dues: $1,430 a month.

2010 to 2020: glass towers return to Avenue of the Stars

After a long pause, new for-sale towers arrived. The Century, at 1 West Century Drive, was designed by Robert A.M. Stern and holds 140 condominiums; the MLS lists it as built in 2010. Ten of its units closed in the past year at a median of $7,235,000, the highest of any building here, with a median size near 4,000 square feet.

Park Elm at Century Plaza is the newest. Its two 44-story towers, designed by Pei Cobb Freed and Partners, rose beside the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel, which closed in 2016 for renovation and reopened on September 27, 2021. Urbanize LA reported 268 condominiums in the towers. Park Elm units use the address 211 West Elm Court, and they produced 20 closings, the largest count of any single address in the ZIP code, at a median of $3,290,500. Commercial Observer reported on September 3, 2026 that the towers were about 65 percent sold. Residences inside the hotel itself, at 2025 Avenue of the Stars, are offered for lease, and several appeared in the rental search on the day I tested it.

Twelve months of closings, building by building

Closings from October 6, 2025 to September 28, 2026, MLS records (CRMLS and The MLS) as reported through Redfin's data download, pulled October 4, 2026. Dues are the monthly association amounts shown on the sold listings and may already be out of date.

Age, square footage and the price of a foot

Read the table from top to bottom and a pattern appears. The 1960s towers and the low-rise complexes of the late 1970s and 1980s sold between roughly $690 and $1,175 a square foot. The two towers finished after 2009 sold for $1,609 and $1,846. In other words, a buyer paid more than twice as much per foot for the newest construction as for a Century Hill or Park Place townhome, even though the older complexes often offered more space.

By bedroom count, the 15 condos with one bedroom or a studio layout sold at a median of $700,000. The 64 two-bedroom sales, the largest group, had a median of $1,731,100. The 22 sales with three or more bedrooms had a median of $3,683,260. Sorted by price instead, 19 sales closed under $1 million, 21 between $1 million and $1.5 million, 16 between $1.5 million and $2 million, 14 between $2 million and $3 million, 20 between $3 million and $5 million, and 14 at $5 million or more.

Monthly dues deserve their own line in any budget here. Among the 101 condominium sales, the median listed dues were $2,451 a month, and at The Century the median was above $5,300. Ask each association for its current budget, reserve study and any planned special assessment before you write an offer, because those documents, not a listing, govern what an owner pays.

The houses on Century Woods Drive

Detached houses are rare inside 90067. Only three closed in the past year, all on Century Woods Drive. Two were built in the early 1990s and sold for $5,299,000 in January 2026 and $5,299,555 in April 2026. The third, built in 2016 with about 6,600 square feet, closed in April 2026 at $9,190,058, the fifth-highest price in the ZIP code that year.

What the transfer tax adds above $5.4 million

At Century City prices, the City of Los Angeles transfer tax under Measure ULA is a real line item for sellers. According to the city's Office of Finance, sales closing after June 30, 2026 pay an additional 4 percent at $5,400,000 and above, and 5.5 percent at $10,900,000 and above, on top of the city's base rate of $2.25 per $500 and the county's $0.55 per $500. Nine of the 104 closings in the past year were at or above $5.4 million, and one was above $10.9 million. The thresholds are adjusted each July. Your escrow officer, attorney and tax advisor should confirm what applies to your own sale; nothing on this page is tax advice.

Listed for sale and for lease as of October 4

On October 4, 2026, 48 homes in 90067 were listed for sale, 47 condos and one townhome, at a median asking price of $2,195,000. Park Elm had the most listings at the top of the range (11, median ask $5,575,000), while Century Park East had 14 listings at a median ask of $788,500. Century Towers and Le Parc each had seven listings, The Century four, Century Hill three and Park Place two.

The buttons below search this website's live MLS feed inside the same 90067 outline, so the counts change daily. On the day I tested them, they returned 51 homes for sale and 27 for lease, every one with a Century City street address.

The next chapter, project by project

Each item carries one of five labels: open, under construction, approved, proposed (filed or announced, but not yet built or open) or closed, with the date of the report I relied on. Proposals can be redesigned, delayed or dropped, and opening dates move, so treat anything short of open as a plan, not a promise.

Public schools that serve Century City addresses

No public school has a street address inside ZIP code 90067, according to the California Department of Education School Directory. Century City is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. On October 4, 2026, I ran 2160 Century Park East through the district's Resident School Identifier, and it returned the schools below. The links go to each campus on the California School Dashboard, where the Department of Education posts its own data.

• Westwood Charter Elementary, grades TK to 5, 2050 Selby Avenue, Los Angeles 90025
• Emerson Community Charter, grades 6 to 8, 1650 Selby Avenue, Los Angeles 90024
• Daniel Webster Middle, grades 6 to 8, 11330 West Graham Place, Los Angeles 90064 (the identifier listed both middle schools as resident schools for this address)
• University High School Charter, grades 9 to 12, 11800 Texas Avenue, Los Angeles 90025

Assignments are made by exact street address and can change from year to year, so a different Century City building may not return the same list. Look up any specific address with the LAUSD Resident School Identifier and confirm enrollment directly with the district.

Parks, hospitals and getting out of the office district

Century Park, a four-acre landscaped park, sits at 2000 Avenue of the Stars, built with the office tower that replaced the ABC Entertainment Center in 2007. Rancho Park Golf Course, a city-owned 18-hole course that opened in 1947, lies across Pico Boulevard to the southwest at 10460 West Pico. Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center is at 757 Westwood Plaza in Westwood, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is to the east on Beverly Boulevard. Until the D Line station opens, public transit here means the buses that run along Santa Monica and Pico Boulevards.

Where my own work stands in 90067

I have not closed a sale or lease inside ZIP code 90067. My nearest Westside work is a group of lease listings on 10th Street in Santa Monica. Everything on this page comes from public records, MLS data and published reporting, each listed below with its date, not from deals I handled here.

Thinking about selling a Century City condo?

Two units in the same building can be months apart in value because of floor, view, renovation and the association's finances. If you own here and want a number built from the sales in your own building, start with a home value request and I will follow up with the comparable sales. My cell for calls and texts is 818-381-9977.
