"CAROLINA" was not honest to me and not share her full knowledge before I paid for application fee AND DEPOSITE MONEY BEFORE I MOVE IN TO THE PLACE. I explained to her about my income and clearly they saw back and forward, my statements and even mentioned I have a co-signer with good history for the past 6 years and she made me to do all that and without any phone call 30 minutes after she sent a bunch of email for rentals verifications, her manager "DIANA" very rudely sent an email about rejection because of my co-signers credit and on phone call she brought another excuses, my co-signer used to be a co-signer for another 2 people with the letter of explanation we have a proof everything was on time but it's only report. Also, pay stubs are more than x3 and even x5 for source of income. As today on 26th of Feb, not these people wasted $118 only for a small commission for themselves and money from me. Also not sending my $400 deposit check back. I am trying to keep emailing and calling and leaving voicemails for DIANA and CAROLINA but non of them communicating with me. This check supposed to send out last 2 weeks and after a week Diana called me and apologized they just sent out after 10 days and because I am in LA, I would get it in 3-4 business days and now we are a week more (3rd week) I do NOT HAVE MY CHECK AND ANY RESPOND from these people. If you are self-employed even high income, stay away from this unprofessional team who would judge you because you are just smart and making money from your business.

I lived here for 18 years, that should say it all…read more But I'll say more: the management here is truly one of a kind. Rose, the property manager, is responsive, professional, and actually cares about the people living here. Maintenance requests were handled promptly every time, and when something was beyond fixing, she replaced it without making it a whole ordeal. That kind of follow-through is rare and it made such a difference in day-to-day life. The apartments are all newly renovated and a great size, especially for the price. Parking is included in the garage, and street parking in the area is easy enough that guests never had trouble finding a spot. Laundry is in the building and fairly priced, which is honestly more than you can say for a lot of places. 18 years is a long time to stay anywhere, and I genuinely think Rose is a big part of why I did. If you're looking for a place where the people running it actually do their jobs well and treat residents with respect, this is it.

One of the best in LA.

I am pregnant, and I have never felt as unsafe, stressed, and ignored in my own home as I have…read moreliving here. From the very beginning, I reported constant bugs spiders, roaches, and other insects coming into my apartment every day. The situation escalated to the point where I literally woke up with a large water bug crawling in my bed. Not next to it. In my bed. As a pregnant woman, that moment alone was terrifying. My child has had bugs crawling on him. I have had spider-like bugs on my body while just trying to relax in my own home. We have had bug bites inside the unit. Instead of urgency or concern, I was told this is "normal for the first floor" and that I should "deal with it," even after explaining how unsafe and stressful this has been for me while pregnant. It doesn't stop there. Every time it rains, water leaks into my apartment through the front door. I've had my door "resealed," but the water still comes in. The construction noise from the building renovation is constant and disruptive, and I never received proper communication or support about any of it. On top of all of this, my hot water is unreliable, and my sinks constantly clog, with management telling me it's because I'm on the first floor and "all the upper floors drain into mine." The plumbing and water situation is a disaster. But the worst part of this entire experience was the treatment from the on-site leasing staff. When I went to speak to her about these issues, she literally shut the door in my face. She told me she lives on the first floor too and "just deals with it," as if that makes a roach in my bed and bugs on my pregnant body somehow acceptable. Not once did management acknowledge the severity of the situation. Not once did they treat me like a resident who deserved a safe home. Instead, when I asked for help, I was told my only options were to pay a 60-day lease break fee or move to a more expensive unit. Everything about this experience has been stressful, unsafe, and dismissive especially for a pregnant woman with a young child. I'm writing this review because corporate needs to step in, and families considering moving here deserve to know what they're actually walking into.

I normally don't leave reviews, but after everything that's happened over the past week, I feel…read morepeople should know about my experience. The apartment below ours experienced water damage. Management entered our apartment the following morning because it was an emergency, which we understood. During that visit, they saw towels on our bathroom floor that we use after showering and told us this was evidence that our bathtub had overflowed. We explained that our apartment had not flooded and that the towels were simply from normal use after showering. We were then told workers would return after 3:00 p.m. that same day to perform repairs in our unit. We moved everything out of the area they needed to access, including where I keep my work-from-home computer, so they could begin repairs. No one showed up. Because management had entered around 7:00 a.m. that morning, I woke up early on Friday after only about four hours of sleep to make sure I wouldn't miss anyone if they came back. We stayed home, kept the area clear, and waited. Again, no one arrived. On Saturday, we received a notice stating that we had refused entry on Friday and prevented repairs from being completed. This was shocking because we had been home waiting the entire time. When I asked the manager's wife about it, she told me the manager had personally come to our door on Friday. Later, when I spoke directly with the manager, he told me that he had **not** come to our apartment that day and that he didn't know who had supposedly come. Being given completely different explanations by management was extremely frustrating. The notice also warned that if we didn't allow workers in on Monday, we could get into trouble. Once again, we made ourselves available and kept everything ready. No one came on Monday. The same thing happened again on Tuesday. By Wednesday, almost a week after everything started, I went back to ask whether anyone was actually coming to complete the repairs. The manager's wife refused to answer my questions and told me to contact the landlord directly. I explained that I had already been trying to reach him for three days through phone calls and text messages without any response. She became upset and asked why I hadn't told her sooner. I also explained that I had been sleeping only about four hours a night because I was waking up early every morning to make sure I wouldn't miss the workers. Her response was that it was my fault and my decision to do that. On Monday, while we were speaking with the manager's wife, the manager joined the conversation partway through. My mom only speaks Spanish, so I began translating for her. As soon as we started speaking Spanish, he said he was leaving because we were speaking Spanish and walked away before hearing the rest of what we had to say. We were left to continue speaking only with the manager's wife. After calling the landlord several times in a row, I was finally able to speak with him. He listened to what happened but ultimately told us the entire situation was our fault. Throughout this process, we have done everything we were asked to do. We moved our belongings for repairs, stayed home waiting for workers, made ourselves available, and repeatedly tried to communicate with both management and the landlord. Despite all of that, we were blamed for flooding that we maintain did not come from our apartment, accused of denying entry when we were waiting at home, and never received an apology for the repeated no-shows or the conflicting information we were given. There are also ongoing concerns with the building itself. In my experience, the elevator frequently shakes, has unexpectedly stopped working, and feels unstable. Residents often have to balance where they stand because otherwise the elevator can shift enough to bump or scrape against the shaft walls, which is frightening. To the best of my knowledge, I have not seen a current inspection certificate posted for several years. My frustration isn't because emergencies happen. I understand that unexpected maintenance issues occur. My frustration comes from the way we were treated afterward. Clear communication, honesty, and respect would have made this situation much easier. Instead, we were left waiting day after day, blamed for things we didn't do, and treated as though we were the problem despite doing everything we could to cooperate. I sincerely hope management improves its communication with tenants, follows through on scheduled repairs, and treats residents with the respect they deserve.

I've been a tenant for many years. This is my favorite place that I've ever lived in Los Angeles…read more The building is historical and reminds me of something out of Gotham city. I have a lot of peace in this building. It's a place where you can chill . You don't have to whisper like a church mouse as long as you're respectful to the neighbors you can keep noise to a happy medium level. The neighbors are overall polite. The management is fairly prompt and I would say very helpful. Also being that I have chronic illness sometimes I've been late with my rent and they've worked with me, you're dealing with good people. The apartments are beautiful as well. The owners do take pride in the building so they will fix a problem for you. C.W

The complex is small with a beautiful well-maintained courtyard. There is a sense of community and safety at these apartments. Friendly neighbors many with cute pets. You can feel that the ocean is within a mile or so (street deadends at the beach) and there is good natural light. The area has very cute shops and many things are within walking distance. Aquatic facility close w Olympic size pool. Grocery store across the street. When you walk a few blocks West you can actually see the Ocean. Even though its on a popular street you do not hear it a night. It's very quiet, which is nice because my last place was not :( Overall I highly recommend it and think you should at least come and see for yourself. The photos on the web and even viewing it from the street don't do it justice. Oh and yes there's a gate to buzz in and the nice iron screen doors with double locks on each unit, bonus. You have the option of getting a monthly parking spot at the building. Or you can get city parking for $40/year which is a steal! And there are actually places to park, not unlike some areas of LA where cars are crammed like sardines and you drive for 30 mins to find a spot after a long day of work and then walk a ways..... Having a property manager who is friendly, fixes things, and lives on site is priceless! Nice residents. Grateful.

She showed me several options, and I was especially interested in the unit on the higher floor with the great view. I started the application and paid the $50 application fee, but then discovered that the Nova system required access to my personal bank login and password to verify income. I was not comfortable sharing that information, so I stopped the process and called Priscilla, the property manager, to ask whether there was another way to verify income, such as bank statements or screenshots. She told me there was no alternative and that this was how the system works. I decided to cancel the application, but I never received a refund for $50 application fee and the $200 holding charge, for a total of $250. When I followed up, I was told she had to end the call because someone was in front of her. That was very disappointing after such a positive first impression. I'm still waiting for my refund and hope the process can be handled better in the future.
