My neighbors are friendly, management - Vonny and her team are amazing and the location is prime real estate - close to everything including the beach. The property is quiet which is ideal for adult/retiree living. Amenities include a beautiful pool (although always cold), BBQ grill, laundry room, a great room with games, ping pong table, exercise equipment, weights, sofa and chairs for lounging. The complex is well-kept and managed - Vonny does an excellent job. The Al and the maintenance team are attentive and provide a speedy response and repair to any maintenance and/or repairs. I would highly recommend Emerald West to adults/couples/retirees if it meets your needs, a place of peace and good energy. I will miss being here!

Even with not living there for 3 months, they still go above and beyond. My mail order pharmacy sent my medication to my previous address there and would not resend it. I contacted Nadia and let her know the situation, she was extremely attentive and was able to track it down and secure it for me until I was able to get it picked up. I really appreciate all the help that we endured in our time as residents there and will continue to recommend those looking for a great apartment in a great location of the south bay, to them. Thanks again! Nadia is definitely a huge asset to them there at the citizens 235th location!!! Brittanie and Shirley Burner

I never write reviews. I feel quite compelled to NOT recommend anyone to live here as a recent…read moretenant who literally just moved out specifically because of Nadia. I HIGHLY recommend you take into consideration the comments on property management (aside from Kelli - she is relatively new and does try to help this goat rope of a company She is extempt from this review). While the "area" may be decent, the apartments are poorly and cheaply put together. Paint splatters everywhere, cheap appliances, no AC, huge gaps underneath the island connecting to the floor, garage storages are disgusting, and that's just a few examples. This isn't even the biggest and most disturbing issue. I say again - It's property management! One person in particular = NADIA! Nadia is only responsive when it benefits her. Otherwise, you will not hear from her. She contacted me three times for my renters insurance despite this already being sent to her via text twive AND then the 3rd time threatened to charge me for not having it on file. What's mind boggling is if what I provided wasn't sufficient documentation there should've been communication. Not one time! She even said thanks when it was provided. I digress. She rides around on her golf cart to walk her dog, leaves work early to pick up her daughter & doesn't return (I can't even begin to tell you how many times I tried to catch her in the office - never there!), and doesn't even communicate to her co-workers about the issues on this property. Kelli had no idea I was moving out. Nadia knew the day I moved out, when I followed back up and randomly stopped by because of the lack of response, and NOW I've asked about my Security Deposit twice with absolutely no response. Choose wisely my friends. I hope this comment helps. Take care!

The location is highly secure and conveniently situated just a block from Redondo Torrance Beach,…read moreaccessible with a brief two-minute walk. The property manager, Marylou, is readily available by phone and highly responsive. Her diligent follow-ups and comprehensive information facilitated a timely move into a well-maintained apartment, ensuring all legal documentation was completed promptly. Additionally, she promptly addressed any issues reported within the first week. The property is impeccably clean, tidy, and well-maintained. The property includes covered car parking. However, a couple of drawbacks are the absence of charging points in the apartment's garage, which prevents me from charging my electric vehicle, and the lack of dumbbells in the gym area. These were clearly communicated by Marylou during the site visit. However, it would be greatly appreciated if these amenities could be added in the future. Its part of one of the best school district in LA and a family friendly neighborhood. Its close to various eatery joints and super markets-(Costco, Walmart, VONS, Ralphs) within short driving distance.

You are right down the street from the beach and I was able to take PCH all the way to work and the drive was my favorite. The complex is small, quiet, and has all the amenities you could need (garage parking/tons of street parking, laundry room, pool & jacuzzi, small gym, sauna, and billiard room). The manager on site, Karra, is the best and I couldn't recommend living here more. She is very helpful and always willing to work with you. My husband and I moved out before our lease ended because we bought a house and she helped us get our apartment leased as soon as possible so we wouldn't be stuck paying the apartment and a mortgage. If you are looking for an apartment in the South Bay, check out Casa de Oro!

Let's be straight up: I don't live in these apartments, but developments like this are part of the…read morehousing problem we're facing today. We keep building "luxury" apartments where even a small studio is priced far beyond what most working people can realistically afford. And in this case, they're located in a pretty unusual spot--literally above a gas station, in Lomita of all places. Luxury apartments absolutely have their place, but this doesn't seem like it. Think about it: how many vacancies does Kaia South Bay have right now? It takes a very specific type of renter to pay premium prices for an apartment in the middle of Lomita. Most people with that kind of budget would probably choose a high-rise in Downtown Los Angeles, Long Beach, or somewhere with ocean views and more amenities. The reality is that we need housing people can actually afford--not more developments marketed as luxury while sitting far outside the reach of the average resident. And honestly, I hope this project fails miserably. Not because I want anyone to lose money, but because I'm tired of seeing developers treat every new housing project as an opportunity to chase luxury rents instead of addressing the actual housing needs of the community. If these units sit vacant, maybe it will send a message that people are looking for affordability, not overpriced apartments built for a tiny slice of the market.

There is no doorman, package room, pool, roof-deck, gym or any other convenience that one can usually find standard in a similar type of rental community in the Hermosa/Redondo Beach area. Azure's management company, Pan American, is a master of the "bait and switch" sales tactic in which they'll lure you in with rental concessions and then increase your rental rates as soon as your initial lease expires. Their rates are inflated for the market, which is why there are units sitting vacant with little interest from prospective tenants. The rent for my unit increased 12% year-over-year when you factor in the initial rent concession to bait us to move in and the property management company tried to claim that increased rental rates for the renewal are aligned with the local market. If that were true, there wouldn't be vacant units in the building with such high turnover. I offered to keep my rent flat in order to renew my lease, which is still 9% higher than my effective rent during the initial lease and they rejected the proposal. They would rather lose money offering a rental concession to new tenants than keep an existing tenant at full-price. Pan American's corporate greed and senseless business practices are unethical and tacky. Do yourself a favor and pass on this property!
