Pros:
- granite top counters and stainless steel appliances (LOVED THIS!!!!)
- high ceilings
- nice size bathroom
- nice size bedroom
- Loved the walk in closet
- Gym was always quiet and I never saw anyone when I used it
- The apartment was somewhat excluded so we didn't have to share a wall with anyone
- The common area was right next to our apartment so it felt like a personal patio for us
- Close to grocery stores, shopping mall, freeways
- LOVED the wood flooring
- They allow pets :) and it was no problem for them to accept our German Shepherd, in fact we were told by management that because our dog was so quiet, it's as if she never even lived there
Cons:
- too much noise outside made it impossible to sleep
- The fences surrounding the building were WAY TOO low so people could easily hop them. And there were GIANT garage size openings on the side which made it easy for outsiders to enter the parking lot
- With random people coming into the building, they would check all the cars/steal cars (within the first month of living there, a car was stolen right out of the parking lot, and management didn't want to do anything about it at first until they were threatened with the cops and a lawsuit)
- Couldn't live normally because our neighbor below us complained multiple times about hearing us, when we were NEVER loud
- Constantly feeling unsafe walking outside my door, taking my dog for a walk down the street, praying no one would try to break into my apartment. (I have a big German Shepherd, but I still did not feel 100% safe)
- strangers learning/remembering the entrance code to the front door so you had random people walking around (and you always knew they didn't live there because of how they acted)
- Endless amount of sketchy people walking around outside scoping out the apartment buildings/cars
- The trashy people that end up living there (fighting/screaming/making way too much noise in general) ( I had two residents give my husband and I attitude and dirty looks, every time we walked by them, whether it be with our dog or by ourselves. And when it was with our dog, there dogs would bark and growl uncontrollably at us, which would follow with a dirty look) Frankly most of the people that we encountered were rude assholes. We met only a few residents that were amazing and felt the same way we did about issues
- The area in the back of the building was for your dog to use the bathroom, but of course you had SHITTY LAZY people that would NEVER pick up their dogs mess which would cause a terrible smell
- If you wanted an extra parking space, you had to pay for it monthly
- Laundry was on 1st floor, so it was a hassle to carry whole loads of laundry up and down the stairs/elevator. There were many occasions of people having their stuff stolen or leaving their laundry in the washer/dryer for DAYS
- Bathroom fan would automatically turn on every 30 min which became VERY annoying, even when you weren't in or near the bathroom
- People using the driveway leading into our parking structure as parking so you had to drive around them or call and wait for it to be towed
- Barely any street parking, but you have better luck with it during the day
- It's located right next to the aqueduct so their were a lot of roaches
- You get a nice view of RV's parked all up and down the street which also adds to the lack of street parking
Clearly this place has A LOT more cons than pros, and the fact that the price for a 1 bedroom went from $1325 to over $1700 for 643 sq ft and have all of the above happen is complete bullshit and not worth the money read more
