Every Saturday morning -- without fail -- the landscaping crew shows up early, so forget about getting any rest on your weekend. When my credit card was stolen in the mail room, I asked management to check the security cameras. They said they would look into it... and then nothing. No follow-up, no update, just complete silence. The building quality is terrible. You can hear everything. My upstairs neighbor walks around in the middle of the night smoking marijuana, and the smell and noise come straight through the ceiling. It's impossible to sleep. If you watch my video, you'll hear the level of coughing this causes -- imagine dealing with that all night. Overall, this place feels neglected, poorly built, and completely lacking in responsive management.

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!

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.

¡¡WARNING BE CAUTIOUS IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON MOVING TO EL CORDOVA!!…read more These apartments used to be nice, clean and peaceful. Now they're just GHETTO. I've been here over 10+ years and this is the worst I've seen it. The sauna has been out of service for over 2 years. Every other weekend there's a party at the pool with 15+ people there that don't live in the apartments . I can't even enjoy some peace at the pool, they have loud music, drinking liquor and getting drunk. Very out of control with kids around. Unacceptable. Also the pool isn't always clean. Takes about a month for the pool to be cleaned because the manager doesn't agree with the price the pool guy is charging and chose not to pay in the middle of summer. Thanks for that The washers and dryers always go out, they're always out of service. They need to replace them with new ones and they also have the nerve to raise the price of the washer and driers. There's 300 apartments and only 10 washers and dryers. Doesn't add up. The coyote situation is really bad. My neighbor had his cat unalived by one and they're constantly here attacking and eating cats, not just one it's a pack of coyotes. And the managers don't care to call animal control. Those coyotes can attack a small dog or even a child playing outside and still don't care for the safety of their community. They are dangerous! The gates are always breaking and that allows outsiders to come in the community and break in and steal peoples vehicles and personal property, which has happened before and is a constant issue Young kids come in and hang out and smoke weed and managers don't care to ask if they even live here. The kids playground has been closed for the past 6 months because a pipe was clogged and they still haven't made any effort to fix it. Their dog policy is 30lbs limit. But they don't check, you have people in there with Great Danes and cane corsos walking around. And not all are friendly let me tell you. A lot of tenants move out but little are moving in and that's for a reason. They need to bring back Jack. He took care of anything and everything in his power to have these apartments and the community happy.

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.
