He made us feel at home from the moment we walked in and toured the building.

I've also had the pleasure of meeting Bran the other leasing agent who was also very friendly and gave us pointers where to get pizza our first night here.

They are newer apartments (built in 2018) and the grounds are kept up so well they still look new. The 2 bd 2 ba unit we had was a cozy type of modern, with the most atypical perfect layout. Ample storage, yet I loved that I can stand in the middle of either the kitchen or walk in closet and reach anything within half a step lol. Plus a washer/dryer tucked away in the patio is brilliant! Parking was a bit of an issue due to my having several motorcycles, but Lumi (owner) thoughtfully switched my spaces and worked out great. There's a maintenance crew on site and any issues (minor) were resolved never later than the next morning in my experience. They work quickly and efficiently, and they're quite nice. The amenities are AWESOME... A beautiful large pool area with cabanas and jacuzzi, full gym(s) which are clean and not packed with bodies, relaxing clubhouse and sitting areas, rooftop BBQ area with an awesome view and a secure package room. I never had any problems with stolen packages or mail. Neighbors are pretty considerate and friends are easily made here, especially during the annual Christmas party which is so intimate, cute and casual. They have snacks, crafts, and games where you can win prizes! The neighborhood itself isn't so bad. Any security breaches we had were addressed and since hadn't had any issues. There's alot of great restaurants nearby and coffee is literally in your front yard! Lumi is a pleasure to work with and will extend herself as much as possible to make sure her tenants are happy. She truly thrives off looking for ways to improve, and is an intelligent woman of grace and good business practice. Pretty much the landlord you want to have! I also think the rent is about right, given the going rate. In my honest opinion get what you pay for in this instance. Seacrest for the win!

Prior to following my wife and moving out of LA, I had lived at Seacrest for nearly 2 years…read more Overall would give 4.5 stars (no apartment is perfect in my experience) but probably the best apartment I've lived at given location and pricing. First a little bit of context. I grew up in/near Palos Verdes and had hopped between cities and states before finally coming back to the South Bay. During out apartment hunting, we really only wanted 2 amenities: a personal washer/dryer and A/C. You'll quickly learn that's a tall order in the South Bay (especially the A/C, since Torrance is near the beach) but Seacrest actually had both. It was the height of the COVID pandemic at that time and apartment prices were dirt cheap, so we locked in our 2 bed 2 bath (floor plan C I think?). In general, Seacrest consists of two apartment complexes. Floors 1-2 contain covered parking while floors 3-6 are the actual apartments. Each apartment complex has 2 elevators and the community is gated. Let's start with the negatives (there aren't a lot). Even though you're in Torrance, the apartment shoulders against a few warehouses located in the back. Depending on where your apartment is located, you can hear workers and forklifts buzzing back and forth during the day. At night, you'll periodically hear this loud bang which to this day I still don't know was due to local industrial machinery or gunfire from "straight outta" Carson. Seacrest isn't located in a sketch area, but just know you are near the border of Torrance. Also, when we first moved in there was a lot of package stealing going on, although we never experienced this personally. I think this has gotten better over time. Finally, parking in the parking garage is unfortunately tandem, not separate. With that aside, the apartments are great. A lot of the tenants are working professionals or young families with toddlers trying to grow their roots in Torrance. We never had those annoying neighbors that liked to crank their bass at night...instead it was more like cranky babies who couldn't go back to sleep. Even though there are 2 apartment complexes, they have their own amenities. Each has a separate pool, jacuzzi, gym, balcony/grill, basketball court, and clubhouse, so you don't need to walk far. The gym itself is pretty decent and even contains a stretch/yoga room with hardwood floors and mirrors. Lumi is a responsive manager and answered all of our questions and concerns that popped up during our time living there. Was super happy too about getting pretty much all of our security deposit back after talking with her during our move out. And last but not least, living in Seacrest means you're living in Torrance! Torrance is a happy compromise between not living in isolated, overpriced PV but also not living in somewhat sketchy Carson (sorry Carson, I do love my Filipino food though). Seacrest is on a major street called Sepulveda, meaning you're 5 minutes from the 110 freeway or 15 minutes from Redondo Beach, the pier, and the strand (basically a long bike path on the shoreline that connects Redondo Beach all the way up to Santa Monica). You're nearby the Del Amo mall, which was recently remodeled and used to be the largest mall in America until the 1970s. You're a short drive to Long Beach, home to the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Queen Mary, and the Long Beach Grand Prix. DTLA is 30 minutes away (albeit on a good day with absolutely no traffic), but the parks and beaches in PV are great if you want to escape the city. I also can't ignore the food scene. This is Yelp after all. Some of my favorites include: - Jus' Poke: Hawaiian poke place in Redondo - Coco Ichibanya: Japanese curry chain located in Torrance (RIP Curry House) - Handel's Ice Cream: best ice cream in the South Bay - Back Home in Lahaina: Hawaiian food in Carson - Nick's on 2nd: American food in Long Beach, but they have one in Manhattan Beach as well - Mitsuwa Market: Japanese market in Torrance with an awesome food court inside (Tokyo Central market in Gardena is also great) - Silog: local Filipino joint about a 5 minute walk from Seacrest So with the exception of some noise issues, Seacrest is overall a great choice if you're looking to getting settled in the South Bay. Just make sure to do your shopping with rent prices beforehand, as my experience was different during the pandemic.

Alta South Bay seemed like a great opportunity when we were searching for a larger apartment. Our…read moreoptions were limited during the Southern California fires. The community was presented as a luxury, high-end property, so we felt comfortable paying the premium rent. The maintenance team was the best. Sweet Maria, Dario, and Orlando were always kind, professional, and quick to help whenever we needed assistance. For Nethania the assistant manager, I noticed a lot of growth in her professionalism. She had a warm, kind, and approachable demeanor. Alta does have nice modern touches and finishes, and our unit also had a nice spacious layout. The air quality in the area can also vary at times due to the nearby water treatment facility. When I first moved in I also had a few uncomfortable experiences with some residents in the gym, which at first made the community feel a little less welcoming. Our biggest concern was that Amenities were reduced or became unavailable during our lease, and things like the business center printer were occasionally out of service. A couple months into our lease When we addressed our concerns to management they stated that our rent didn't include the amenities. That didn't make much sense to us, since the amenities are part of what the property advertises and there isn't an option to pay less rent without them. It comes across as misleading. The high move-out charges also left an impression on us. For painting and cleaning after living there for less than 15 months, While I understand some cleaning was needed, the charges felt excessive. Overall, it wasn't a terrible place to live, largely because of the excellent maintenance staff, but for the amount of rent we paid, we would have appreciated clearer communication, better value, and a living experience that felt more consistent with the luxury image Alta advertises.

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!

UPDATE: 7/23/25- Again, UNPROFESSIONAL in her response,…read morespecifically by identifying one's place of employment which she came into knowledge of through her job, which should be kept confidential. AVOID like the plague if you want your personally identifying information protected. I will be placing identity fraud alerts on our information because who knows what lengths she will go to hurt me and my family. Original review: If I can provide less stars, I truly would. Our family of 4 resided here from May 2024 through June 2025. We did the 13 month lease with $1000 off for the life of the lease (it was a promotion that was going on at the time). Nadia Padilla is extremely UNPROFESSIONAL. From the start, we should've known, however due to circumstances out of our control, we dealt with the hands we were given. First, when we applied, she had a trainee, Kelly-- super sweet and kind, and Nadia GASPED audibly when she saw mine and my husband's paystubs as part of the application. And she asked us if it was ok to show Kelly-- stating she will be showing Kelly later anyways to process the application. Second, she took FOREVER to communicate material and necessary information about our application, deposit and move in date. She didn't get us a copy of the lease till we were moving in. Third, our laundry machine was out for over 2 months and I had to threaten legal action to get the washing machine fixed. She had us walk down our laundry two buildings down and use their washing machine, unload it and use our dryer in our unit. Mind you, in both locations, the washer and dryer are upstairs. To add insult to injury, she knew I had a newborn and a toddler -- so laundry was basically a daily thing I had to do. I got in contact with the service they contract with and I found out that she did not call them timely, and when the service person came to look at the washer, he then had to wait for Nadia to approve the parts for purchase. She did NOT return their call in a timely manner which caused delay. Again, UNPROFESSIONAL. This is a listed amenity. They cannot advertise it as part of the unit and deliberately delay the maintenance of it. Fourth, we noticed that our rent was not matching up to the numbers we were seeing. In the middle of our lease it appears they switched programs or providers of the rent management. We were previously able to pay rent ahead of the due date, but for some reason the rent was increasing despite meeting the balance. We finally inquired why there was such an increase and again, she was unprofessional and said every penny was accounted for in their ledger. Kelly, finally told us it appears there is a CREDIT of a few hundred dollars and advised us not to pay ahead and wait for the bill to actually show up to pay. It worked. Fifth, the garages are shared. Our particular unit, 2665 unit A, has two tandem parking spots that share with unit B- who also park in tandem. Unit B moved out in Nov during Thanksgiving. Because of toddler and baby, when we noticed they were no longer there, so at times we would park the car in the middle but we mostly parked within our lanes. Come December we were notified that cars will be parked next to us-- we don't know who. So for a MONTH two cars were parked next to us and it appeared as if it was to prevent us from parking more comfortably. We expressed concern about who the owners of the cars were because Nadia specifically said only people who live in our building will have access to the garage. It wasn't our neighbors' car for sure. Lastly, we cleaned this place from top to bottom for DAYS. Yet we were charged $500 for cleaning fee. For those of you who have the time to do a small claims, I would encourage you to. I say this because when our neighbors moved out, NO ONE CLEANED THAT PLACE WITHIN 21 DAYS OF THEIR MOVE OUT. In fact, that unit was not rented out until April-- and literally a week prior is when that unit had ANY cleaners and painters come. I know many will think this may be a one off, but I promise you it's not. I have been a renter for more than half my life at this point and I have never met a leasing manager this unprofessional. I hope you never have to deal with her.

And we thought our previous apartment complex was bad, see review for Willow Tree Apartments, but…read moreit had nothing on this cesspit... We had the misfortune to live here June 2017 to July 2018. Living in the middle of San Francisco is quieter, whether it be traffic noise (some thing we were lied to about), the neighbors/ the other apartments' plumbing and extractor fans which sounds like they're in your bathroom or the inconsiderate idiot who's car alarm goes off every time a mouse farts. The property is covered in pet feces and urine despite the free doggie bags. I even coned off one contaminated area where the inconsiderate resident allowed their pets waste to flow into the common area - the waste and cones were still there when we left over a month later. Maintainace is a joke that any comedian would be proud of. There is a stupid app and paper requests but they are constantly signed off as completed when no one has done anything. We were waiting for the incompetent paint job to be fixed since December 2017 and not resolved when we moved out, don't even get me started on our shower they broke injuring me, the fake flooring lifting causing a trip hazard until I taped it down, the lack of hot water where a tub takes 20 mins to fill, the range that either catches fire because it overheats of doesn't work at all, the absolute waste of water from defective sprinklers and residents using the laundry for commercial purposes, the dumpsters filled with contractor waste that residents pay for, trash left in common areas as residents are too lazy to go to the dumpster, the water that isn't safe to drink according to an external testing source, the constant refusal to fix and /or test the fire fighting equipment, the spa that didn't work for over 7 out of the 12 months we were there, the numerous outside lights that have never worked, the partially painted walkways, the laundry that was out of commission for 4/5 days whilst they changed out the machines, the policy of allowing smokers to dominate all the common areas despite them causing a fire that I put out at 2am - oh yes, the onsite manager's husband smokes... The drug use and the latest was the mail thieves stealing packages. The whole building shakes if a medium sized truck goes past - hell knows what would happen in an earthquake. The residents pay for water usage base on a share system that they repeatedly refused to explain, the same with the trash costs - see above. Sprinklers waste water constantly being poorly adjusted. Oh, I almost forgot the letter from their barrister threatening us with eviction as they considered the requests that all theses issues be corrected to be harassment. And the alteration of lease documents after we signed them. Don't be fooled by the 'yummy mommy' manager' who will lie and mislead you to get you to rent and then fail to deal with any issue, and illegally alter signed paperwork to suit the business model. The management company Beachfront Property Management who manage the property and employ the onsite manager are aggressively anti resident and refuse to manage any issues or even investigate the failings of their onsite management. If you value your health and sanity in anyway whatsoever do NOT rent an apartment here! We were paying $2100 a month, plus the utility charges for a 2 bedroom 2 toilet and 1 bath/shower. We now own our own home - single family/2 bedroom/ 2 bath/yard/almost twice the sq/ft of living sp/etc. and we're paying an extra $36 a month! I have documentation and photos to support everything I have stated and can't wait to see this awful company in court for damages. LIVE IN A TENT in your city's worst area - you'll be better off than living here! Had we not closed on our purchase before the lease expired we'd have preferred to live in our car than ask for an extension to stay here. The only positive thing I have to say about this whole rental was they refunded our security deposit without any fake deductions saving a court case to get that money back. Negative or zero stars need to be an option...
