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!

Moving was definitely not my choice (long story) however it is a sad but good change. Dianne is AMAZING and such a friendly property manager. When she was out, Sandy would sometimes be there to take over and she is wonderful too. You hear light traffic noise during rush hour (mine was courtyard facing) and emergency sirens often because it is a major route to company of Mary on Torrance Blvd. I have so many good memories and basically spent my entire 20's here. Every complex has its pros and cons, and maybe because this was my first apartment I am biased. Moonraker was so good to me and I am grateful to have lived there for as long as I did.

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.

Great Castle Properties does it again!…read more When we decided it was time for us to sell our condo and move into a single family home, we did not hesitate to call Great Castle Properties. This was our second time working with Will. He is not only a knowledgeable agent, but an honest friend. He is professional and easy to communicate with. He will get to know you deeply, and he cares more about his client's needs/future goals rather than simply the numbers. While bedroom and bathroom count are important, Will ensures that the homes you target are the right fit. This helped us lessen our focus on the emotional process of visualizing our life in a particular home and see that there were more opportunities and possibilities in the neighborhoods we targeted. We were also quite satisfied with Will's negotiating skills. He made sure to keep us updated every step of the way and allowed us to guide strategies that he would execute seamlessly. The escrow process felt streamlined. Will kept us on a strict timeline in order to close on time. His assistant, Andy, prepared most of the paperwork digitally and got us in contact with vendors such as insurers and repairmen. In the end, we were able to successfully purchase our first home that we plan to live in for years to come. On the selling side, Will has a fantastic marketing team that includes photography, social media, and staging. Honestly, the condo looked so much cooler in the listing than I remember actually living in it--and we loved living there! He held multiple open houses and private showings while we were out of town. Andy provided weekly marketing updates on how our home was performing online. The whole process was very smooth and pretty hands off from a seller's standpoint. We were able to secure multiple offers and ultimately accepted one in our target price range. In summary, we have no regrets hiring Great Castle Properties. Will and Andy were a pleasure to work with over the several months-long process of buying/selling our homes. We wholeheartedly recommend them and would easily work with them again in the future.

From walking open houses to the escrow process to negotiating the best deal for you - the team is unmatched. A special thank you to Alex and Will as these guys work overtime to ensure you have the most seamless experience on top of finding a property that fits your lifestyle and financial goals. Even after escrow was closed, Alex made sure that everything within the deal was completed as promised. That's the type of guidance you need in a large financial transaction. The value they bring to the table is unlike any other firm and will recommend them to any family/friends in search of or selling a property. Thank you, Great Castle Properties!

The only reason my partner and I had to leave is because we wanted to be steps to the beach because we play beach volleyball early mornings; otherwise, we would have no other reasons to leave. It is such a great place to live in, you can't ask for more: you have the beautiful pool and bbq area; the property is kept clean and well maintained; a covered parking garage; they keep making improvements to the property--it's even harder to leave; the property manager, Manuel Araujo, is awesome; it is walking distance to all necessities and the beach; you can't beat the price in this location; there are security cameras everywhere--you'll feel safe, and Manuel will review the videos for you if you ask him; there's a keypad entry to the mailroom for your packages, so they don't get stolen; the laundry room is operated by a phone app, so you don't need laundry coins. Living Aviation Townhomes was a great deal! Most of all, we are very thankful for Manuel. He was always on top of our requests and suggestions. We have no complaints! Be kind to him, and you'll make friendship with him. We already told we want to come back one day.

We lived at Ocean Club for more than one year and honestly, it was one of the best living…read moreexperiences I personally have ever had. The location alone is hard to beat--being so close to the ocean made everyday life feel peaceful and refreshing. What really made the place stand out, though, was the staff. Every interaction I had was positive--they were consistently friendly and helpful. The overall environment was clean, well-maintained, and welcoming. I always felt comfortable and at home there, which made a huge difference over the course of a full year. If you're looking for a place that combines a great location with exceptional management and a strong sense of community, Ocean Club is absolutely worth considering.

Our experience at Ocean Club Apartments was extremely disappointing, especially given how expensive…read morethe units are and how appealing the location initially seems. While the views and proximity to everything are great, that's unfortunately where the positives end. Noise was a constant and unresolved issue. For months, we dealt with excessive noise from our upstairs neighbor--rolling, stomping, and movement at all hours between 1am-6am. On top of that, laundry machines would run as early as 6am, dogs barked frequently, and we could even hear people slamming weights at 5am through closed doors and a noise machine. Management never addressed the issue in any meaningful way--their only suggestion was to have security come into our apartment in the middle of the night to "listen," rather than actually resolve it. The building itself is old and in serious need of updates. Something was always breaking. To be fair, the maintenance team (JJ, Bryan, and Ryan) were the one bright spot--they were responsive, kind, and did everything they could. Unfortunately, they were constantly stuck fixing recurring problems. We stayed longer thanks to them! We experienced multiple serious habitability issues: * We went two full days with no water or working toilets. Management provided no solutions or accommodations, despite us raising health concerns and even suggesting temporary options like porta-potties. * Over 14 months, we experienced at least 10-20 instances of no hot water or unusable toilets. * Twice, the upstairs unit's laundry flooded into our apartment. We lived for 12 days with damage, holes in the walls, and a dehumidifier blocking access to our only bathroom. Over $1,000 worth of personal items were ruined by mold and moisture from the leak. Management was by far the most frustrating part of living here. They were consistently dismissive, unresponsive, and showed little to no concern for residents--even when issues were caused by the property itself. Communication felt cold and transactional, and it was clear that once rent was paid, you were just another number. We also had a particularly negative experience with a representative from Lyon Living, who was rude, condescending, and strung us along for over a month before ultimately denying any meaningful resolution to our mold problem. Security was another concern. We were woken up multiple times between 1-3am by people breaking into the pool area, and even by the security guard himself talking loudly on speakerphone at 3am. Ultimately, we chose to leave due to the constant issues, lack of accountability, and inability to get a good night's sleep. I saw the other review about move out costs. What you read is true. If you see a negative review, it is likely true.
