18645 Hatteras St, Tarzana.What the Record Shows.
A 213-home condominium complex on Hatteras Street in Tarzana, recorded by the County as a conversion rather than as purpose-built condominiums. Every figure below comes from the County Assessor, with the source and the date beside it.
Quick Answer
What is 18645 Hatteras St?
18645 Hatteras St is a condominium building in Tarzana, CA 91356. Owners hold title to an individual home plus a share of the common areas, and pay a monthly assessment to a homeowners association that maintains the structure and grounds.
It suits a buyer who wants to be in Tarzana at a price single-family stock nearby does not reach, and who will do the reading a shared building asks for: the budget, the reserves, the rules, and whether a lender approves the project. Everything below is either what an authority says, with a link to it, or a plain statement that a figure could not be confirmed.
What the PublicRecord Shows.
Each line is what a named authority publishes, with the page it came from and the date it was read. Nothing is estimated, and nothing comes from a listing portal.
- Assessor parcel number
- 2156-025-024 through 2156-025-236
- An unbroken run of 213 parcels, every one carrying this street address. The parcels immediately before the run are separate properties on Reseda Boulevard and Hatteras Street under other tracts, and the number immediately after the run returns no record.
- Source: Los Angeles County Office of the Assessor, parcel detail · Verified September 25, 2026
- Year built
- 1973
- The Assessor reports a year built of 1973 and a separate effective year of 1978. The gap between those two dates is consistent with the conversion recorded in the use code, though the Assessor does not state the conversion date and this page does not infer one.

- Number of units
- 213
- Counted from the Assessor’s own parcels: 213 consecutive condominium parcels carry this address, with no gaps in the run. Door numbers here run higher than 213, so the door numbering does not give the home count and should not be used as a proxy for it.

- Use type
- Condominium, recorded as a conversion
- Assessor use code 010E, which the Assessor itself breaks out as "Condo Conversion" rather than the 010C purpose-built condominium code used at the Lindley Avenue complexes. It means the buildings were constructed as rental housing and the individual ownership interests were created later.

- Recorded tract
- Portion of Lot 1, Tract No. 26033, and Tract No. 35848
- The legal description recorded on every parcel here. The second, later subdivision number is the one that created the condominium ownership over land already subdivided under the first.

- Lot size (shared parcel)
- 230,077 square feet
- The shared lot the whole complex sits on, reported identically on every parcel in the run. Not the size of any one home. It is roughly double the shared lot at either Lindley Avenue complex.

Not Published, and Why
Things a buyer would expect to see here that no authority confirmed on the date this page was reviewed. A number that cannot be checked is worse than no number.
How many stories the buildings have, and how many buildings there are
Neither the Assessor nor the City permit records answer either question: the Assessor publishes no story count and the City permit rows for this address leave the story field empty. A complex of this size on this much land is commonly several structures, but that is an inference, not a record, so no number is stated.
When the conversion to condominiums happened
The Assessor records the use as a conversion and gives a 1973 year built with a 1978 effective year, but it does not publish the conversion date itself, and the City’s online permit data does not reach back that far. The recorded subdivision map and the condominium plan at the County Registrar-Recorder would establish it.
The homeowners association and its corporate status
The California Secretary of State business search could not be completed: the site returned an automated security block, which was not bypassed. Nothing is published here until that search is run by hand.
HOA dues
No association document or statement was obtained. Dues change every year and a stale figure on a public page is worse than none. Ask the seller for the current statement.
Amenities such as a pool, gated parking, elevators or laundry
No authoritative source describes the shared facilities. The City permit history for this address is almost entirely interior work inside individual homes, which says nothing about what the association maintains. Verify on a visit and in the documents.
Earthquake retrofit status
The complex does not appear in the City of Los Angeles soft-story retrofit datasets searched. Absence from a list is not a finding that it was exempt, compliant or evaluated, and it is a question worth pressing on buildings of this age and construction. Ask the association and the Department of Building and Safety.
The asking price and the market time on Aryan’s sale here
The repository’s own case-study notes carry both figures from a screenshot rather than from the transaction record, and flag them as needing confirmation before publication. Until that confirmation exists, only the closing price and closing date are stated, and both come from the closed transactions record.
If you own in this building and can supply the association documents, Aryan will add what they show, attributed to the document and dated.
Have you closed a sale in this building?
I represented the sellers on a sale in this building in 2022.
The sale is recorded under MLS number SR22027732. The home is not identified and will not be: a designation like that identifies a client’s residence. The sale is listed with his role, the closing month and the price alongside every other closed sale on the closed transactions record.
That sale closed at $529,000 on 7 April 2022. The closing price and date are the only figures stated, and they come from the closed transactions record. The asking price and the market time are recorded internally from a screenshot rather than from the transaction record, so they are not published until that is confirmed, and nothing here should be read as a claim that a particular result can be repeated.
What it is worth is that the listing side of a sale in this complex is work Aryan has actually done: pricing it against the other homes here, getting the association package ordered, and running it through escrow. One sale is one sale, and market conditions in 2022 were not today’s.
Before You Call
What to check before buying in a Tarzana condo building
None of this is specific to this building. It is the standard list for any shared building in Los Angeles, and it is where condo purchases go wrong when it is skipped.
- HOA reserves and the operating budgetWhat the association has saved against what the building will need. Underfunded reserves make a special assessment a question of when, not whether.
- Special assessments, past and pendingWhat has been levied, what is under discussion, what the board has deferred. Open assessing often beats keeping dues low by postponing work.
- Rental caps and minimum lease termsCaps, minimum lease lengths, waiting lists and outright bans. Decisive if you might ever let the home, and routinely discovered late.
- Pet rules and parkingGoverned by the CC&Rs and house rules, not the listing. Confirm how many spaces come with the home and whether they are deeded, assigned or leased.
- Earthquake retrofit and insuranceWhether the building has been retrofitted, what the association carries and what it excludes. Earthquake cover is usually separate and is a real carrying cost.
- Lender approval of the associationFHA, VA and conventional warrantability are project-level decisions. A building can be pleasant to own and still hard to finance, which shrinks the buyer pool later.
- The California seller disclosure packageCalifornia requires the seller to deliver the association documents. Request them early; if the association is slow to produce them, that is itself information.
This is general information, not legal, tax or lending advice. Confirm current requirements with the association, your lender and the applicable agency.
Each is covered properly elsewhere rather than repeated here: the condo and townhome guide on the four documents that decide a purchase, and the Resource Center for the agency behind each rule, with the date each link was checked.
If you own here and are thinking about selling.
I have run a sale in this complex from the listing side, so this part is firsthand rather than general. The comparables that decide your number are the other homes in this same complex: identical assessment, identical rules, identical lender treatment. Floor, outlook, parking and condition account for the rest. A comparable from a complex a street away misleads in both directions.
What I will not tell you is that a particular price will produce a particular result. One sale is one sale, market conditions move, and nobody can promise an outcome. What I will do is show you the evidence I am reading and why I read it that way, in writing, before anything is listed.
Order the association package before you list, not in escrow.
The documents California requires a seller to deliver take time and cost money, and in a large association they can take longer than a whole escrow allows. Ordering them the week you decide to sell is the single change that removes the most delay, and it lets you read what a buyer will read while you still control the timing.
It also matters because in a complex of near-identical homes, one closing becomes the comparable every later appraisal and listing is measured against. That is a reason to prepare and present a home properly rather than a claim about what any one sale will do.
Aryan will review the association package with you and give you a written pricing and selling review built on the homes this one actually competes with.

About ThisBuilding.
How many homes are at 18645 Hatteras St?
Two hundred and thirteen. That count comes from the Los Angeles County Assessor, which assesses a condominium one ownership parcel at a time: 213 consecutive parcel numbers carry this address with no gaps, and the numbers either side belong to other properties. Door numbers in the complex run higher than 213, so counting from the highest door number gives the wrong answer.
What does it mean that this is a condo conversion?
The Assessor carries these parcels under use code 010E, which it breaks out as a condominium conversion, rather than the purpose-built condominium code. In plain terms the buildings were constructed as rental housing and the individual ownership interests were created later over the existing structures. It is a normal form of ownership and not a defect, but it is a reason to look closely at how the common elements, the utilities and the parking were divided when the conversion was recorded, because those decisions were made after the buildings existed.
When was 18645 Hatteras St built?
The Assessor gives a year built of 1973 and a separate effective year of 1978. A gap between those two dates is consistent with the recorded conversion, but the Assessor does not publish the conversion date and this page does not guess at one. Either way the structures date from the early 1970s and predate current seismic, energy and accessibility requirements.
How large is the site?
The shared lot is 230,077 square feet according to the Assessor, reported identically on all 213 parcels. That is the land the whole complex sits on and is held in common, not the size of any one home. It is roughly twice the shared lot at either of the Lindley Avenue complexes covered on this site.
What are the HOA dues here?
This page does not say, because no association document or statement was obtained. In a complex of this size the association is effectively running a small property company, so the budget, the reserve study and the assessment history matter more than the headline dues figure. California requires the seller to deliver those documents; ask for them early.
Is the complex approved for FHA, VA or conventional financing?
Unknown from any public source, and it is not a fixed property of the buildings. Warrantability is a project-level decision that turns on reserves, delinquency rates, the owner-occupancy ratio, pending litigation and insurance, and it moves from year to year. In a 213-home project with a conversion history it is worth checking early rather than late, because it decides the size of the buyer pool when you come to sell.
Can I rent out a home here?
That is set by the association’s governing documents, not by the public record, and no copy of them was obtained for this page. Rental caps, minimum lease terms and waiting lists are common, and in converted buildings the rules around letting are sometimes more developed than in purpose-built ones. Read the CC&Rs and the current house rules before assuming an investment use works.
Have you sold in this complex?
Yes, from the listing side. Aryan represented the sellers on a sale here that closed at $529,000 on 7 April 2022, recorded under MLS number SR22027732. The home is not identified, because a unit designation identifies a client’s residence. The sale appears with his role, the closing month and the price on the closed transactions record alongside every other sale he has closed.
The OthersOn This Site.
Several of these sit on the same street or in the same neighborhood, and they are not interchangeable. Each page covers one recorded project and nothing else.
This Tarzana complex is not related to the two Lindley Avenue complexes in Encino. It is much larger at 213 homes on a 230,077 square foot lot, and the County records it as a conversion, meaning the buildings were built as rentals and the ownership interests created afterwards, where both Lindley complexes were recorded as purpose-built condominiums.
