    Rc towing had their own pass into the forest lawn entrance to look for cars to tow. Be aware Ava
    Ashley M.

    RC Towing has unrestricted access to the parking garage and appears to enter the property on their own, without security or management escort, searching for vehicles to tow. I personally witnessed them enter through the Forest Lawn entrance and patrol the garage and parking areas. What's most concerning is that management at Ava Toluca Hills appears aware of this and has done nothing to stop it or protect residents. As a resident, it feels invasive, predatory, and creates a constant sense of anxiety about parking in your own home community. Residents deserve transparency, accountability, and better protection from aggressive towing practices. I strongly encourage anyone living here to document everything and know their parking rights. Your vehicles and property are not safe at Ava Toluca Hills.

    Pool game table's felt
    Andrew L.

    I'm giving one star due to the persistent negligence and inaction of the management. The community's location is absolutely stunning--mountains, cool weather, and wildlife right outside your window. BUT! The management completely ignores requests to improve or even maintain the amenities they so proudly advertise on their website. In reality, the sand layer on the volleyball court is so thin that you end up hitting concrete with your feet every time you play. The sand is littered with thousands of pine needles from the trees that someone thoughtfully planted all around the community. These needles pierce your feet, making it impossible to enjoy a game of volleyball. The lights on the volleyball court haven't worked for a year and a half!!! For the past six months, we've tried to bring this to the management's attention, but no action has been taken. Speaking of pine trees: be prepared to scrub sap off your car every time you wash it. And believe me, it's not easy. Next, the pool table: It's so unbalanced that the balls roll to one side by themselves. The corner of the table was literally broken off, and only then (!!) did management finally replace the torn and stained felt. But don't expect to enjoy a game of pool, as the cues, which I've asked to replace a thousand times, resemble sticks from the 99 Cents store more than actual pool cues. The hot tub often doesn't work, and when it does, the water cleanliness is frequently an issue. I have no complaints about the pool itself; it's actually quite nice. The gym: The ventilation doesn't work properly. You have to keep the doors open, or you risk suffocating. BBQ grills: It's just a joke. In the north part of the community, only 2 out of 6 grills work, and even those are in terrible condition. This is not a temporary situation; trust me, it'll be like this for most of the year. No one maintains these poor grills. The piano: It's great to have such an instrument in the community, but as a musician, I can tell you--it's never been tuned, serviced, or cleaned. Every note sounds like glass scratching against my heart. Once, my washing machine broke down, full of water and clothes. I submitted a maintenance request the same day. Five days later, no one had responded. I had to call a technician and pay out of pocket to fix it. All management cares about is getting you into their "well-maintained" community and then ignoring your problems and ghosting your emails. If someone from headquarters is reading this, please, either replace the incompetent staff or give them a serious wake-up call. I've lived here for four years and have never seen such a disgrace.

    A service card

    If you are living in Ava Toluca Hills and need maintenance tech Diego Ara is the best one, really polite, respectful, reliable, reasonable and hardworking person and worker, Thank you for your service!

    It's truly sad to rate this place poorly because there is so much that could be great. Unfortunately, corporate greed and thoughtlessness have this place losing its luster. Other reviews here confirm a lot of what I'm experiencing, The property is rent controlled, but they have increased the rent to the maximum allowed every year possible. There are rumors of them increasing beyond the legal amount before. RATS skittering around our balcony, multiple residents have reported seeing rats at this point. Trash services were recently changed. Utility costs shot up and "admin fees" were tacked on. Pipes backing up and poop water overflowing out of toilets. Recently received notice that locks will be changing to electronic locks through an app called "Latch". No way to opt out, no community meeting to address security concerns (kind of hilarious when this affects hundreds of residents and 1,000+ units), just 2 chances for "open office" hours held from 9 AM - 5 PM, times when people are normally at work. There is constant police activity. Met some neighbors who were locked down in their apartment for a whole day, not allowed to leave while police were doing something in their building. Even more frustrating, the official "community updates" that come from management when police are on-site are vague as hell and tell you nothing about what's actually going on. Poor signage for delivery drivers since there's technically only 1 entrance they can use. Limits on how many guests you can receive per day (2) because there isn't enough parking. Multiple car break-ins reported, broken security gates, mailbox looting, strange people knocking on doors...

    Amazing view on Hills and pool from my apartment.
    Sofiia H.

    Hi everybody! I'm current Resident of Ava Toluca Hills! This property is set in a prime location, close to all major entertainment industry hubs, making it an Ideal choice for those who work in a field. The Community amenities at Ava are exeptional. All Residents have 24/7 Access to 2 fitness Centers. Also to multiple pools, a clubhouse, and lush landscaped rounds that provide a serene and relaxing atmosphere. This complex also features sports courts, a playground, and a barbecue areas for socializing and recreation. And all views are really amazing. Overall, Ava Toluca Hills is an exellent choice for everyone who loves nature. P. S. Please fix light on Volleyball Court I'm waiting this more then half year. Thank you!

    I lived here for almost 2 years. On the positive side: the maintenance workers are incredible. Very kind and helpful. The tenants typically keep to themselves and are reasonably friendly. Some need to pick up after their dogs. On the negative side: the safety issues are not quickly addressed. Parking lot lights will be out for weeks and the "security gates" are out dated and often broken, left open. Cars are regularly broken into, with a lot of police activity. From SWAT being around my building at least twice to almost weekly posts of tenants reporting police activity. I've read female tenants stories of being physically assaulted with AVA not having video from their broken cameras. My first week there, reports of a naked man walking the floor below us. My last week there, another naked man on the roof. I used to say that living there was like a mid level motel during spring break. But this is Los Angeles near Hollywood. With over 10,000 units, it's almost like a little city. Then I became aware of only 1-2 guards at night. They are under staffed with limited knowledge of the complex. It took over an hour and several phone calls/text for a guard to meet me at my parking space as he was lost and turned around. Fortunately it wasn't an emergency. With no onsite emergency contacts, (besides the guard shack previously mentioned) during a huge brush fire I was connected with a call center in some other state. They knew nothing of the complex or what was going on. After that I would only contact local authorities. I was waiting to write my review until my deposit was returned. Almost 2 months later I finally received an "itemized" invoice with photos from another apartment. So now to small claims court. They are not honest, nor honorable in practice. Every time someone moves (I have screenshots of at least 3-4 other previous tenants going through this right now) it's $500 for a new stovetop, they ignore rent control rules and California law hoping people will pay and go on.

One of the biggest reasons I've enjoyed living here so much is because of Danny and Stephanie. They're always helpful, responsive, and truly care about the people who live here. They don't make you feel like just another tenant -- they treat you like family. Anytime something needs attention or an issue comes up, they handle it very quickly and efficiently.

It's evident she cares about her clients and getting to know them to the point that she knows what you want before you know.

When it came time to submit our application, she guided us through each form and document with unwavering patience, ensuring everything was flawless.
