Paraiso Playa Vista, Portuguese for paradise, offers an ingenious mix of two-story town homes that are luxurious in both design and quality. Situated on Playa Vista Drive, directly North from The Center Pointe Club, the residences of Paraiso are created in two distinctive architectural styles. One structure is inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright while the other is a traditional Mediterranean design. All homes surround dramatic interior courtyards. Paraiso was constructed in 2003 by Shea Homes, an award-winning homebuilder and a member of the Shea family of companies that are well known and respected for their tradition of caring since 1881.

Residences at Paraiso offer a mixture of two and three bedroom plans ranging from 1,700 square feet up to almost 2,900 square feet. Certain plans offer lofted offices overlooking living rooms with bedroom suites on a floor below. Each home boasts an elegant master suite, some with a romantic sitting room warmed by a cozy fireplace. All residences include gourmet kitchens, fireplaces and spacious living and dining areas.

The building offers amenities at the Center Pointe Club, where residents can enjoy a range of amenities from the Jr. Olympic size pool with solar heating to the small oval shaped pool for children. A spa, fitness center, free weights, showers, business center with computers, and a twenty three seat theater are all available to residents at Crescent Walk.

Other amenities include private meeting rooms, library, and a community entertainment hall with a full kitchen, bar, pool table and flat screen TV, and barbecues. A newly built elementary school is nearby.
