La Terrazza is one of the newer townhouse developments in the Plaza del Amo area and was built between 1991 and 1996 by Watt Industries. The longer development period is traceable to the relatively weak market conditions that prevailed during the earlier stages of this development. The architectural styling is distinctly Mediterranean/Italian. The complex is accessed by entering Hickory Avenue from the north side of Sepulveda Boulevard between Maple Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard. A stately electronic entry gate and beautiful fountain greets your entry into the world of La Terrazza. Lush park-like landscaping provides greenbelt views from all homes. The large recreational area offers a clubhouse, heated pool, and spa.

La Terrazza features three different three bedroom floor plans ranging from slightly more than 1,800 to about 1,900 square feet and two outstanding four bedroom models that range from 2,000 to just under 2,100 square feet. Because of modifications made during its longer than normal development period, square footages vary slightly from sizes originally planned. Some of the upgraded features include three car garages in four of five model plans, attractive long-lasting concrete tile roofs, underground utilities, bright skylights, dramatic stairways, ceramic tile kitchen counters and splashes, rounded drywall detailing, and hand-troweled textured ceilings.
