HOA money wasted on "upgrades" like a new rfid/fob system where it barely works or people have to stop and get out of their cars to use. Nothing wrong for the remote entry system that has worked for years. Now it just delays people getting in. They added a fancy sign that shows useless memos or "fake" threats to tow or say "you're on camera." Cool, violators are on camera, but guess what, the violators who are breaking our gate bar don't live here. Landscaping was redone in certain parts and other areas just left alone. Not order or plan to anything. They can't even repaint parking lines that are completely faded, but let's remove old and plant new trees Ridiculous fees on parking. $100 per car monthly locked to individual car. On-site manager can't comprehend that some people need to roster cars to charge their vehicles. Needed to get a board member to accommodate us because we have multiple EV's and on different nights, a different car may need to be in the garage/outside. They threaten to tow cars, but I haven't seen any cars get towed or removed even though many cars don't have a permit. But let's charge the honest people paying an increasing amount.

I personally had a miserable experience with HPM. Whenever I made a request for something that…read moreneeded to be fixed, it was done in the cheapest way possible by a "handyman" that did a far worse job than I could do. Im a pretty handy person, but I was still very disappointed in the job they did. It was almost always a "band aid" solution and not spending actual money to just get it done right the first time. Even when the job was done, it wasnt very professional and nobody from the management company came to inspect any job being done, which if they saw in person, would not likely approve of. There were times where the job left the house in a mess, dust everywhere, and when provided evidence photos, they made us hire someone to clean it for something that wasnt even our fault. When heavy machinery was used ( always on for almost two weeks straight) and provided evidence of over $200 of electricity bill increases, they made me pay for it. The people in the office are nice, I just think they need to do a better job of the operational processes and spend money on decent workers to get the job done right the first time so people dont need to keep coming back. This was a nightmare, I would highly recommend not renting from this property.

South Bay Management Services is an excellent company to work with. SBMS was referred to me by a…read morelocal realtor. I must say that it was an excellent recommendation. Mary Colin and her staff at SBMS are courteous, professional, and honest. As a West Torrance property owner, I have hired SBMS twice to represent me. On both occasions, SBMS was always proactive in the process. They will give you a straight answer every time. Not only did they list the property and conduct a thorough search for the ideal tenants, they also recommended quality contractors to handle upgrades and maintain the property. Liza Jimenez was my representative and she worked tirelessly to find tenants that were financially stable, mature, and capable of leasing long term. She understood that I wanted a perfect fit, not just an easy fit...and she delivered. Liza was at the house to meet with the tenants for the final walk-thru, just to make sure that everything was satisfactory. I am truly pleased with the service South Bay Management Services provided and I will definitely hire SBMS again in the future!

Do your self a favor, find a another agency. I'm sick now from the mold and other toxic shit that they didn't fix here. Shame on those landlords for using them.

Then she brought the printout to my apartment door (I was not able to walk down to the office at the time). I will ALWAYS speak well of not only my specific apartment/unit, but the surrounding quiet atmosphere as well. I commend Brittney for her management of the property, services, and for hiring cordial, amiable, friendly employees, and for their professional conduct. Management is professional, proficient, efficient, and caring. The property is well maintained. Safety inspections are conducted and adhered to a couple of times a year. You cannot find a better place to live. I was at 1 of my apartments for 15 years; the one after that, for 10 years. I hope I can stay here that long too. With sincere thanksgiving & gratitude, I commend and recommend, Seaport Homes!

Unfortunately, by the time I came, their coffee shop was closed and I only had about 90 minutes to get all my work done. But after locking myself in one of their privacy rooms, I finished everything within the nick of time! The privacy rooms are pretty soundproof where everything you play isn't heard too loudly unless you blast the speakers. It's generally really quiet (a positive), so please be mindful of your movements and your words when you enter the space. It's pretty minimalist and tidy but there are plenty of outlets and tables with chairs.

But what really makes this place is the ownership and staff...they get it. Incredibly welcoming and attentive. Monday - Thursday tends to be a little more quiet. It gets pretty poppin on Fridays. If you need a quiet place to study or work, it's worth checking out.

Hey there! Are you looking for a place to live in sunny southern California? Is dark blue/gray your…read morefavorite colour? Do you love HOAs which claim to set rules "for the benefit of the people" when it really isn't? Congratulations, the Estates in Rolling Hills Estates is the perfect place to live for you! For those of you who physically cringe and twitch at the sound of the words Home Owner's Association, steer clear of this place. There are other townhomes and apartments further up the hill. Now, onto the review... The Estates is located on the border of Torrance and Rolling Hills Estates. Due to its close proximity to Torrance, you're not far off from any shopping necessities you may have. There's two movies theaters close by and a gas station and a Ralphs within walking distance. The are ample schools nearby in the PVPUSD district. On site amenities include guest parking, community swimming pools, a rec room, on-site coin-op washing machines, communal barbie, two tennis courts and plenty of vegetation. That's where the nice things stop. If you are physically disabled, meaning you require assistance to get to places, whether it be through a wheelchair, walker, or any kind of walking aid, this is one of the worst places to live. There is no disabled access anywhere and due to the poorly designed/lack of convenient pathways, getting from one side to the other in this complex is a chore. Secondly, there are stairs EVERYWHERE - not only does this make moving into this place a nightmare - if you have a disability that prevents you from walking/walking well this place will be very unkind to you. There are elevators in the condominium units, though it is interesting to note that the one in my building had a inspection permit that was 7 months expired. Secondly, if you live in a condominium and not the townhouses, you won't have a private garage and instead, you'll have to enjoy the mediocrity of the parking facilities provided by the estates. Hidden lane, as much as it is "hidden" is treated as a normal road, and as a result you are forced to move your car every three days or else they will tow and impound your car (They are very strict about this). There are white "spaces" on the street which are designated parking spots- small enough for a car such as a Honda Civic, or something a bit larger such as a BMW 5 series but you'll struggle to park a full-sized SUV. There are frequently residents/guests that have no idea where the lines are and will double park, and good luck trying to find a parking spot here after 9PM. If you're lucky, you'll be given a carport style-spot, which means you'll always have your parking spot when you come home, you don't have to move your car every three days and you won't get tree sap on your car. Aside from these three benefits, you can still enjoy getting pollen blasted all over your car from the numerous pine trees that surround the entire grounds, and the occasional break-in. If you are a car enthusiast, DO NOT move here as there are numerous speed bumps to scrape your car on, and the two main entrances have steep rakes which can rip your splash guard clean off. Fortunately for most (if not all) of the condominium owners, you'll be parking in the semi-private parking underneath your complex (What I mean by semi-private is that anybody can walk into the garage, but the main gate requires a remote to open). The garage has some open areas for wind and debris from whatever construction project the HOA has demanded to fly in and coat your car in dirt. The parking spots are also bizzarely assigned, so your spot may be 50 feet away from your next door neighbor, while the car that parks next to you might belong to someone who lives on a completely different floor to you. Have you gotten dirt/pollen on your car from parking at the Estates? Don't worry, you can wash your car....down at some coin op in Torrance. There were car wash "stations" on site (which in reality was just a hose next to a trash can), but both have been PERMANENTLY removed without warning on 10/26/17. Don't try to hook your own hose up to it, they've shut off the water to both stations and you'll get FINED if you somehow wash your car on site. Yes, you read that right. FINED. Now that we're onto the subject of money, let's talk about the HOA running the Estates. One rule they passed a few years ago was the ability to have a dog on the property , with a few rules - most notably having to submit your dog's DNA to the managers so they can have it on file to match it up to any dog droppings which haven't been picked up, then track down the owner and fine them. Now, I'm all for responsible dog ownership and cleaning up after your dog, but having a gestapo force for dog droppings is completely absurd. The fines cross over for barking dogs as well. The HOA don't live here. You shouldn't either.

I've been a long time owner of The Estates and prior to it becoming COA, it was a 300 unit…read moreapartment complex which was build in the early 70's. Now, the grounds at the complex are by far some of the best on the peninsula. There is a beautiful inner walkway surrounded by breath taking landscape and running water fountains that takes you from one end of the complex to the other. The COA has just renovated the pool/jacuzzi and have installed stone pavors in the pool deck area which look amazing. For those of you who enjoy tennis, the complex has two tennis courts which are lighted for night time enjoyment. Because this is a desirable complex to live in, the parking can get crowded. Some owners include a parking spot when you rent their unit and some will charge you extra. These parking spots are located both inside the parking structure, as will as in the covered parking area. Speed bumps are located on both roadway entrances to The Estates to ensure safety for all residents and their families. The Estates is pet friendly and have since removed the DNA deposit for your animals, however, there are restrictions on how many pets you can have and the size/weight of your dog. Security is provided by The Estates during the evening hours to detect and deter illegal activity. One of the amenities which is longer allowed is the car wash. This was a result of a complaint from a resident who contacted the Health Department and complained about the resident's soap from the car wash being flushed down the storm drain. As a result, the inspector came out and determined that it was a violation and ordered the COA to shutdown both car wash locations. Lastly, the current Board of Directors are onsite everyday to address issues that the residents might have and have made it easy to reach them if any resident has questions or concerns. The Estates is the best kept secret on the peninsula and a very special place to live! Cheers!

I actually had nothing but great things to say about the staff. However, I am now completely offended by how they have treated me lately. I don't know if the company is now disorganized, don't care, or understaffed. I had a noise issue with a fellow neighbor that I tried to solve on my own but was unsuccessful. Therefore, I reached out to PURE to rectify the situation. A simple solution (an email and phone call to the other tenants) should be easy and quick to do. However, it took me multiple WEEKS, multiple phone calls, multiple e-mails to get someone to even address the issue. When the issue was addressed, I did not get a phone call (which I requested) and there was lack of care/apology in the email. During those multiple weeks the noise issue drastically affected my work from home space, my mental health, and made me feel very uncomfortable in my own home. When asked to set a time to speak to a manager directly to communicate my concerns and to answers questions about their procedures I have yet to get a response back. For a company that boast about customer service and creating a "safe and comfortable space" for their tenants, they really dropped the ball.
