VF Developments, LLC Breathes New Life into The Grove a 1960s Era Mid Century Modern Apartment Community Featuring Three Bedroom Rental Homes Near USC & Downtown Los Angeles

VF Developments Completes Renovation

United States, 5th Jan 2025 – VF Developments, LLC, a minority and female owned company, has completed renovations on “The Grove,” a 1960’s midcentury modern multifamily community. The apartment community features four newly renovated rental homes with three-bedroom floorplans. The apartments are in the highly desirable Congress North neighborhood, a historic district of Los Angeles, California. Drake Property Management manages the apartment homes, which are featured on https://vf-developments.com/.

VF Developments LLC, led by Victoria Vu, restored these homes to their original 1960s style while adding modern upgrades. Ms. Vu, managing partner of VF Developments, LLC, is a fashion designer turned real estate developer. She specializes in distressed multifamily apartments in Los Angeles and Orange County. She graduated from The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.

Ms. Vu said, “Restoring a 60-year-old apartment community was a true pleasure. These luxury homes feature keyless entry doors leading into spacious three-bedroom floorplans. Bold designer touches include white stone quartz countertops, high-end stainless steel Whirlpool appliances, and in-unit washer and dryers. Our bathrooms are fully renovated with spa-inspired designs.

Pebble floors complement the oversized tubs, glass shower doors, and gold hardware. These units are separately metered and have eight on-site parking spaces. The property is centrally located near Downtown Los Angeles, the University of Southern California, and offers everything Los Angeles provides.”

Renovation Team And Contractors

James L. Kemple, a U.S. military veteran and owner of Patriot Painting & Construction, Inc., completed the exterior and interior renovations. He said, “Working with VF Developments was exceptional. We legally reconfigured the original two-bedroom floorplans into three-bedroom, one-bath layouts, similar to our project at 920 Everett Street in Chinatown. This maximizes space and helps address the housing shortage.

The renovation team included only local minority vendors, employees, and contractors. This was the same team we used at 920 Everett Street. We take pride in creating jobs in USC and DTLA areas, improving the community, and providing affordable housing.”

Located minutes from the University of Southern California, “The Grove” sits in University Park, one of Los Angeles’ most historic and vibrant neighborhoods. It is near the 10, 110, and 60 Freeways. University Park appeals to residents seeking Downtown LA proximity without paying sky-high prices. Nightlife, Staples Center, and L.A. Live are a short drive away.

University Park includes residences built from 1885 to the 1920s. The neighborhood showcases Queen Anne, Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival, and American Colonial Revival styles. It contains a high concentration of City Historic–Cultural Monuments. 1980 Park Grove Avenue has a Walk Score of 84, making errands easy on foot. Nearby parks include North Lawn, Saint James Park, and South Lawn.

Local Attractions And Amenities

Los Angeles visitors can explore the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, the California Science Center, or the country’s largest rose gardens. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum hosts sports events and USC Trojan Football. University Park offers museums, galleries, theatres, sports venues, gardens, libraries, and churches. Its blend of education, entertainment, art, and culture provides exciting experiences for all ages.

Victoria Vu said, “We are grateful for the chance to renovate 1980 Park Grove Avenue, bring it to market, and offer affordable housing. This project is similar to 920 Everett Street near Downtown LA, where we converted two-bedroom units to three-bedroom layouts. Our goal is to provide class A finishes at affordable rents. As a first-generation Asian American, I strive to enhance communities and create modern living spaces for future residents.”

1980 Park Grove Renovation

VF Developments, LLC acquired 1980 Park Grove Avenue with plans to reposition and add capital improvements. Inspired by midcentury Modernism architecture, these renovated homes are minutes from USC and Downtown LA. The four-unit, two-story low-rise building features new asphalt and natural material accents. Blood-red highlights adorn the wood façade and entry doors.

Kim Vu, renovation and maintenance manager, added, “We are excited to bring these units to market. Residents will enjoy high-quality finishes, new appliances, and in-unit washers and dryers. The downtown Los Angeles views are spectacular, and everything is a short walk or drive away. The space is ideal for office use or residents attending USC or working in Downtown LA.”
