Complex Love: The Tustin Southern Apts

A little taste of New Orleans... This week's edition of Complex Love comes from a little unassuming block in Tustin, CA. Built in the mid 1960's, the Tustin Southern Apartments is a quiet and charming little apartment complex with architectural details that are reminiscent of the streets of New Orleans. Shared long balconies, rows of magnolia trees, and ivy ironwork add a little "southern" comfort to this little part of OC...

Complex Love is a photographic celebration of Southern California's unique apartment architecture history. Live in or nearby an apartment complex of notable or unusual design? Please submit photos and information to gregory (at) apartmenttherapy (dot) com.

(There's actually a sister complex across the street that is almost identical and is called the "Tustin Orleans", but it wasn't as nicely maintained as the Souther Apts was...)
