The reality of renting in Westwood is that you'll be charged high rent for unworthy "luxury"…read moreapartments, and 430 Kelton is an amazing example of this. I lived there for two years and am so happy to be done with this place. Management is terrible. I had FIVE different "landlords." When a new "landlord" comes, they know nothing that the old one knew. So, maintenance on common areas is very slow, and the management is chaotic every time there is a change. I used to personally give the "landlord" paper checks each month to pay rent. They lost the check twice, and tried to blame me for not paying on time. When I moved out, I was charged for things that were not agreed on in my inspection. They dropped this after I fought it. But, this incident (along with "losing" my rent payments) is sketchy. Regardless of when your lease starts, you have to decide whether you will renew by February. When you move in, nitpick the place and START DECIDING EARLY whether you want to renew. Also, the only option for lease length is 12 months, which sucks. They probably pressure you to renew early in your lease on purpose, hoping that you haven't lived there long enough for the disappointments to truly set in so that you will renew. Once you sign that contract, you are trapped paying the rent until the lease ends or finding a sub-letter. Kitchen appliances are good. Bathrooms look nice on the surface, but have issues you won't notice at first. Your two options for lighting are a heat lamp, or an overhead light with a loud fan that doesn't work. Every time you shower, expect the entire bathroom to be soaking wet with condensation, toilet paper, and mirrors included. This is not normal. I had endless issues with my toilet. It kept running water after flushing, and the flush handle broke off three times because it was made from cheap plastic. The toilet also flooded two times. Maintenance did their best to help, but I had issues until I moved because the parts they used to fix the toilet were cheap. The shower head is so low that my head touched it. The tub faucet and knob are made of cheap plastic that can detach from the wall. One bathroom had silverfish and spiders, the other had termites. The landlord refused to send an exterminator until we brought the carcasses to her office and told her firmly to get it fixed. The apartment also became infested with cockroaches during my second year, and it took months to get an exterminator. My bedroom window looked out to the hallway where people walked to get to their units, which is terrible from a safety and privacy standpoint. There's only one elevator that is too small, too slow, and breaks constantly. Need to move furniture? Have fun taking the stairs! There are 40 units in the complex, but only three washers and three dryers total, which is not sufficient. There was once a three-month stint where only ONE WASHER AND DRYER was operational for the entire complex. Unacceptable. Maintenance is the one thing they got right. When you submit a request, they will come in an efficient manner and do their best to help you. The maintenance workers are also very nice. My only complaint is that some things (e.g. toilet) kept breaking. The building has an "atrium" design, and all hallways are outdoor ledges, so anyone could keep a list of who lives where if they wanted to. During the day, the front entrance is propped wide open. Anyone can enter. At night, no management is present. Residents are too lax and will let anyone in the building from the lobby. No one monitors who enters or leaves the building, which is unsafe. The doors to units are flimsy and can be easily broken into. Units also have bedroom windows in the communal hallways, which could be broken into. In Westwood, break-ins are not uncommon. These factors led me to feel unsafe living there. Lastly, packages are thrown lazily on the floor of the lobby and I had many packages stolen. There is no reason why a luxury apartment shouldn't have a secure mail room system. Come on, 430 Kelton. At least advertise the place for what it is. Do not call yourself a luxury apartment until you start doing more than the bare minimum. Fix the laundry, elevator, and package situation. Start investing in quality parts so that repairs to the building actually last. You are a luxury apartment in Los Angeles charging $5k plus per month for a 2B2B. You can do better.

But what I was not happy with was that they listed that I had evictions on my renters history, and that this was one of the reasons why I was being declined. I have never in my 12+ years of renting ever had an eviction. And I have always given the required notice when moving. When I emailed Chad to help me understand why this was being listed he never responded to my email. It was actually a blessing in disguise because I ended up renting closer to my job in Century City, and not near the homeless encampment at the Westwood park where this building is near.

We had a man experiencing homelessness break into the building, and use a fire extinguisher from every floor to break a hole in a door and spray the college students inside. They had to jump off of their balcony. And atrium refused to house the students or help them obtain a hotel room. The man was knocking on doors screaming that he was going to "kill the next woman he sees in the f*ing complex". And that's not all. My roommate came home at 3am to a different man experiencing homelessness sleeping IN FRONT OF OUR DOOR. What does atrium do? Nothing. Emailed corporate multiple times where we were blatantly ignored & called constantly, where Oscar would demean my friends and I for being concerned about our safety. We were an apartment of all young women. They hired a security guard for a week. What a joke. Oscar was extremely dismissive and has such a snide attitude with tenants. He went out of his way to sabotage me when I was attempting to get a new apartment. Don't bother ordering packages here because despite the parcel pending system, the packages will be dumped and stolen. Every single person in my apartment had packages stolen. Two individuals made a copy of atriums master key and cleared out everyone's packages. And when you ask Oscar to look to see who stole your package, you have to give a specific time frame within a couple minutes or he won't look at the footage. The materials that were used to build the complex were not quality, and you can tell. You can hear a pin drop in the apartment above. Anything and everything going on in other apartments near you. The only nice thing is the jacuzzi on the rooftop. It's going to be funny to watch management apologize when they literally didn't extend any help or care when there was someone trying to kill students and I feared for my safety.

California law and the lease agreement both strictly require security deposits to be returned within 21 days. Despite numerous calls and emails, management has only provided repeated excuses that the check is being processed or is in the mail. Communication is routinely ignored with little to no follow-up.The lack of accountability and professionalism from the office staff has been incredibly frustrating. This goes beyond poor customer service; it involves funds that are legally owed to former residents. Management previously claimed they take this matter seriously, but their actions do not reflect that statement. I have also learned that other residents have experienced similar delays with missing deposits. As a UCLA parent who handled these leasing logistics, I strongly urge other families and students to think carefully before choosing this property. If you do live here, document absolutely everything at move-in and move-out. Take extensive photos, keep copies of all paperwork, and save every single record of communication.Tenants should not have to chase management for weeks to get their money back. After more than two months of waiting and constantly pursuing a deposit that should have been resolved in 21 days, I cannot recommend this property. The handling of this situation has been completely unacceptable.

This is my 5th apartment in LA county where I truly had SO many issues beyond count. Summarizing some of the goods and bad below: Pros: Fair security deposit and timing on paying the deposit after move out Security guard is friendly and makes you feel better about the garage parking Great location in west LA, generally safe neighborhood, proximity to LAX Modern security and access controls (app instead of key fob) Maintenance and front office staff are fast to respond and generally helpful Renovated units, amenities. They even added a water line for the fridge that I brought with me Cons: Homeless permanently living on selby ave (right out back from the complex) to which the city won't do anything about it. While you pay extraordinary rents. Unit inspection checklist Our unit was renovated in some ways but off putting in others, holes in walls, scrapes in walls, dirty wall switches, no door sweeps, missing blinds, etc. when I first moved in and documented all this it took 6 months to get any resolution as I was told (emergency repairs only during COVID) Thieves/homeless casing the security guard hours and stealing laundry from the communal laundry room and/or scavaging dumpsters for recyclables (our comforter and several towels were stolen right after the security guard finished up in the morning. security cameras did nothing nor did the police) Mice/rats, roaches, and silverfish sightings are a frequent occurrence. We did get complimentary spraying twice a month to help combat this. Apartment unit Leaks, leaks, leaks. Our bedroom was situated under a balcony and a 30 year building was not designed with water in mind. Our bedroom ceiling leaked multiple times over the course of 4 years and management would just skim over it and paint instead of permanently fixing the issue. They decided to permanently fix the issue the week of our move out, how convenient. Note this involved all of our clothes getting doused as well as carpet in the bedroom which probably had mildew and mold under it. Luckily it wasn't a massive flood since we were home but it could've been much worse. Again, their solution was for us to use our renters insurance even though the landlord is responsible for drying in the apartment. Garage Leaks Several times my car had calcified water leaked onto it from the old, corroded Plumbing in the parking garage. Management would not pay for the detail needed to get it off my car. Their general answer to all issues caused by existing conditions is "use your renters insurance" Greedy, horrible owner company While the on site management were decent people (shout out to Doug and Lucia) they were yellow taped behind a greedy corporation who gave no shits for their tenants. My original rent was offered up at a good rate (during Covid) but by 4 years later, grew 15%. This was about 5-10% per year, despite being a good tenant, they don't care. This is to keep up with the obnoxiously priced apartments that are brand new on overland ave. Noise/general comfort This place was horribly noisy, I was on a 3rd floor with no one above me thinking that would be quiet. I was terribly wrong. Not only did I hear the cars whooshing by daily on overland which never ended, I had the most horrible neighbors who would blast radios and slam loud work out equipment anywhere from 2-6 am. In violation of the lease quiet hours, I filed at least 10 noise complaints and it still kept happening. There are also many large dogs in the complex confined to a small patio area so enjoy the all day barking. Even though management claims pets are not allowed (laughable) Pool/gym/bbq The amenities that are included appear lavish at first but you'll quickly realize it's not as nice as it seems. The bbqs were useless and wouldn't heat up. Certain tenants in the complex hog the pool and hot tub at all times, making it less desirable to go in.
