The neighbors are ridiculously loud. They don't do anything about it. Can't wait to move out. read more

See all

i moved here a year ago and the building was under constructions , the promised us that they will be done by end of May or beginning of June, which actually ended up closer to aug. Till now, many things haven't been completed, such as lights on top of each door entrance to the apt. there are just wires hanging out. they installed new washers and dryers but the credit cards machine isn't working, so for 2 months now we have to collect 25c coins in order to do laundry. it was only installed on the 4th floor!!! un expected water shut downs all the times!! *** Break ins and stolen items!! *** Just be careful, lock your apts and watch your cars!! cause someone just stole over the weekend wheels and rims we had in front our parking spot. its def someone who live-in the building and saw those wheels were there. My parking spot is on the far right and its pretty dark plus the wheels were covered in black plastic bags so unless you park on that side daily - you won't even see those wheels. specially when the cars are parked in front of it. I also heard someone car was stolen a month ago and someone else's car was broken into. The building has cameras at the entrance to the garage but apparently its just for "show" since they don't work and after all those break-in "The Grand" didn't even thought of adding extra security or have the cameras working? management was just changed to a new one in order to make things better but besides sending us emails i don't see anything is being better. the maintenance crew is the only good thing about this building which they are pretty fast and really try to help when the office crew is not so helpful at times. ' i can't wait to move out !! read more

TERRIBLE -- The water is off once or twice a week. They have increased our rent DURING the year long process of complete RENOVATIONS. Super old, poorly managed building; so mold, mildew, holes & YEARS of ignored ware & tare had to be redone. The managers are lazy Washers & dryers occasionally work No security cameras so n people leave their trash in the hallways The 1 star is because it's safe & convenient read more

you could notice that all the 5 star reviews are based Manuel and the maintenance team. A summary of my terrible experience at the grand: - Car was broken in and the "security guard" who you'd typically see sleeping somewhere had no idea. And of course there were no cameras. - They lied about the renovation saying it would only take 6-9 months. Here we are now, almost two years in and still no significant changes. -clogged trash chutes that wouldn't get unclogged until it smells terrible in the hallways. -Very unprofessional and rude management, don't get fooled by the friendly tour, I fell for that trap too. - get used to cold showers, hot water is rare commodity at the grand. - some elevators have been out of service for at least 4 months now. - your "urgent" maintenance request will take at least 3-4 days to be addressed. - too expensive compared to what they offer. I'm a yelp lurker and created this account only to advise people not to make my mistake of living here. I wonder if they're going to get rid of all these bad reviews after they change their name to "Vega" read more

Hastea was incredibly helpful with finding an apartment at Veda! She was very informative and courteous and am thankful she was the one who showed me my new apartment. Highly recommend her and the apartments at Veda! read more

All the staff are super sweet! Hastea in particular was super helpful with getting me into an apartment!

Before I moved into the Grand, I read the yelp reviews and was incredibly freaked out. I hope if you feel the same way, my post gives you some peace of mind. Like you, I really wanted to live in a luxury building close to Ventura with a nice gym, pool, and other amenities and this ticked all of the buttons. Especially since it is a few hundreds dollars a month cheaper than the other options. So, I had three tours of the building and inspected everything myself. Now that I have lived here over three months, I want to address a few things. THERE IS NO PET WASTE. I see the cleaning crew literally every morning on my way to work. There is an enclosed room for a trash chute, and if residents decide to be lazy or rude, they can leave their trash there but it is gone by the next day, and it is not in the hall. As far as the water shut-offs go, they send you a letter and let you know a week ahead of time that they are updating the plumbing and pipes in the building so the water will be off between 8-6. This has happened 4 times since I moved in but to be honest, my boyfriend and I are both at work during these times so it is hardly a nuisance. I am sure it must have been incredibly frustrating to live here during construction but I have never heard of a project that size finishing early or even on time. We are still missing the light fixtures above the front door to the apartments, but other than that, everything is complete. What could management have even done to make construction less frustrating? In summary, I love the building and location and the amenities leave nothing else to be desired. I get free starbucks coffee every day and there is a movie theatre to hang in on the weekends. I have had 15+ friends over before and not had a problem for them to find parking. The maintenance staff is very responsive! Any problem I have had has been attended to immediately. There are some imperfections, but if you expect top-end luxury, you will be paying hundreds more a month for it. The water-shut-off and construction occurs during the weekdays, so if you work Monday-Friday in an office, chances are, none of this will affect your life here at The Grand. We are very happy here, from price to amenities, I feel we got everything we were looking for. read more

I still have nightmares about living here. The management is inept and about as bad as it gets. The office staff is non existent and maintenance will never come. All for 3 grand a month. This place was once called the Grand apartments which had a horrible reputation and has gone under massive renovations multiple times. The current project has been going on for years which includes endless water shut offs and random apartment entries by construction and staff at anytime. This complex also changes management every few months. In the years I lived here over 20 office staff quit. One of the staff was even kind enough to give me insight to this nightmare before she quit. Cheers to luxury living at the Veda. RUN! read more

A lot of you guys are really dramatic.. I read a lot of these reviews before i moved in and almost everyone had something negative to say.. so yeah i was a little worried about moving in here.. Ive been here a month now and i will say it has been the best place i have ever lived in! Everything works fine.. yes sometimes one of the elevators doesn't work.. but it wouldn't kill you to wait 2 mins for the other elevator to come down. The management is amazing! I would recommend this place to any of my friends or family... Great place to live in :) read more

I was told that my type of income doesn't qualify for an apartment here. That sounds discriminatory because I'm a disabled vet.

It was great to hear from you regarding this issue, no I have not received the deposit yet as of today. 5/5/17 deposit received. Thank you Grand for responding so quickly and staying on top of the problem until it was solved. read more

I have been living in this apartment building for almost 2 years. I love the fact that it's close to all my needs. There is a lot of activities around and it's located in a very happening area. The building is very organized there is few parking garages as well as few laundery and dryer machines on each floor. The staff is very professional and friendly. Any issues is resolve quickly and any repair and maintenance order has been handled in a timely matter. I must say that there is an associate in the management office that defiantly make this place a lot better for me and my roommate. Her name is Ali, I'm not sure what's her last name. She is very understanding with any request that I have. I order few things online and they shipped directly to a small warehouse in the grand. Opening hours of that warehouse are similar to the management office so in a situation you may come after a long day at work around 6 pm, most likely you will have to wait the next morning to pick up your package. Not with Ali! She is so generous with her personal time and more than happy to assist any tenant. She is always happy, positive and friendly that even after a bad day at work, you can start enjoying that amazing facilities that the grand has to offer because that's the first thing you see while getting inside the lobby. To sum up, the grand proved to be a good decision for me to move (location ! Location ! Location !). When I was a kid, my mom always told me that anywhere you go, the people and your surroundings will have an effect on your life. must tell that Stuff at the grand have made my residency at the grand a better experience. read more

Good place, good location, good building! I've been leaving here for over 3 years. Maintanance team start working great and quick since Manuel became a supervisor! Him self or one of his guys fixing everything same day I call! Big thanks for that! It feels like you living in a 5 star hotel! read more

Lived here for a bit over a year. Price is decent and most of the people are decent that live there. With that said there are escorts that live there(they work in the adult entertainment industry also). Our space was sloped from one end to the other, basically the floors are uneven. They definitely need more washers and dryers. Overall experience was mediocre, if you look around you can definitely find a better spot read more

Going on DAY 5 with no AC!!!! The absolute worst "luxurious" apartment complex in the valley. DO NOT RENT HERE this place is a joke. -washer and dryer never got turned on and we were sold on it. -pool never opened by the date promised -leaks in our apartment -loud construction noise every morning -garage gates not functioning -shitty staff -smelly hallways due to dog crap and piss everywhere -extremely slow elevators -bad plumbing -sketchy people hanging out in the parking garage all the time -AND HORRIBLE MAINTENANCE! NO EFFING AC IN THIS HEAT!!!!!! THIS IS HORRIBLE!!! read more

DO NOT MOVE HERE. I took them to court twice and won twice and they still have not paid up under court order. It's been 2 1/2 years. Please look at how uneven the floors in the apartments. Management is rude and bullies. Your paying a lot for a really small space to live in. read more

I wanted to post an updated review about living at the grand as I feel it's important to give credit where due. I recently needed a few things fixed in my apartment and Manuel has been fantastic! He's gone above and beyond to make sure everything is handled quickly and efficiently, I've been very happy with the results. He follows up to make sure I'm pleased and is always available to assist, no matter what time of day. Jesse is great as well and always pleasant and attentive. I'd also like to say the team in the office is fantastic as well. Sean has planned some great events this past year, which I've attended and loved! Godson and Ericka are always so polite and super helpful, I truly enjoy seeing all of them each day! read more

GARBAGE apartment complex to live at. HORRIBLE LYING managers, they should all be fired. Be careful of any promises they tell you verbally they will no abide by their promise and will slap you with fines afterwards. I moved out early because the building always had issues that were unbearable, I was got trapped in the elevator 3 times for god sake. Be careful before choosing to live in this place infested with snakes (management) read more

I'm not sure where to begin. However, they will do everything to keep your deposit. I lived here for a year and decided to move to out due to a huge increase in rent. I did not move out early, gave plenty of notice and 2 month after moving out, still don't have my deposit back. Their response times are very slow. I lived on the backside by the galleria parking garage and every single night you'd hear cars doing burn outs in the garage and people hanging out. It was extremely noisy on that side and difficult to sleep. read more

If you love fire alarms - you'll absolutely love this place!! Fire alarms everyday!!!!! False alarm or not those fire alarms just keep on going...... read more

DO NOT MOVE HERE. I repeat, DO NOT MOVE HERE. The only reason they get even one star is because we met a few nicer people who worked there. The building itself deserves a zero. Please read Michael F.'s review. And Kayla F.'s review. They are spot on. I could repeat all they said, but they did such a lovely job describing the sub-standard facility with the repeated and ground-in dog feces and urine in the hallways, the repeated false fire alarms, the lack of security, dozens of strangers in the building weekly, the streetwalkers, the slum-like carpets and walls, the phony promises from management, the lack of hot water, the worthless security staff, the dungeon-dark parking, the broken, leaky laundry rooms, water being turned off weekly, and of course barking, yelping dogs at 3 a.m. We often said that animals lived there...and they had pets. We could only stand to be there for a year and would have moved out sooner, but for the lease we stupidly signed for that period. They wouldn't even let us see the apartment we were renting until we paid for it...only showed us the model. Gosh, in retrospect, we should have known better. We were lied to about the extra fees tacked on to our rent too. And with all that, they still raised our rent. We have moved out and of course have been ripped off for most of our deposit monies. The company has broken the law by not returning them in the lawful period, deducted far too much and naturally did not give interest. One more time: DO NOT MOVE HERE. You'll be sorry like we were. There is NOTHING grand about the Grand Apartments. read more

**This place clearly rebranded to try to avoid the horrible reviews they have from the past. Do not let this fool you** Do not live here, I cannot stress this enough. The first month and a half of us living here there was torrential downpour in our apartment due to a malfunctioning air conditioning pump. Gallons and gallons of water was falling from our ceiling every single day. We reported the issue to management copious times with no solutions offered. Finally, Manuel (who is lovely) stepped up to the plate and resolved the issue by hiring an external air conditioning crew. Throughout this process we ruined several cooking pots and pans (as we were forced to use them to catch the rusty water) and many many towels. We alerted them of this and we were not offered any sort of compensation or even an apology. In fact, the manager insinuated that we were lucky to have our apartment for the amount we pay and should not be complaining. It was $2,000 for a 700 square foot apartment with torrential downpour and outdated amenities. The elevators are constantly down and when they are working, they are painfully slow. I've seen roaches in the gym many, many times. Fellow tenants are rude and disrespectful, letting their pets defecate in the hallways and not picking it up, blasting music at all times, smoking indoors, leaving their trash in the hallways, etc. They refuse to give extra parking spots, even when offered compensation, even though there are MANY unused spots in the garages, forcing tenants who have more than one car (there is only one spot given per bedroom), to street park, which is nearly impossible on Sepulveda (we were assured before signing the lease that there is always plenty of parking available- false). Especially do not live here if you are a dog owner, finding grass and a safe, enjoyable place to walk your dog is not possible unless you cross Sepulveda and walk in the nearby neighborhoods, which don't even have sidewalks. The area is gross and dangerous in general, very dirty, next-door to a run-down motel (which was raided by SWAT teams several times while we were there) and swarming with homeless people and drug addicts. My S/O's car was broken into while we were there WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN THE UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE. When this was brought to the attention of the staff, again we were not offered any solutions. One night, we were forced to call the police as a homeless woman was banging on our door at 2 AM threatening us. Best of all, the entrance doors are consistently broken, meaning anyone could access the building whenever they wanted. Not to mention, this place is incredibly over-priced, management is rude and prices continue to rise. When asked if we would be renewing, they alerted us that our rent would be increasing from $2,000 to $2,200.... for an insanely outdated unit. CHERRY ON TOP: it has been over three months since we moved out and we STILL have not received our security deposit, which I have called about five times now, I guess I am going to have to lawyer up. This place does not fail to disappoint. Do not live here. read more

****do not move here****Worst apartment I have ever lived. They claim they have been upgrading the premises(especially the elevator located in the main lobby) but it's still a piers of sh*t. The apartment is dusty, and fility and yet, they keep increasing the rent. Stuff here are inefficient: I moved my car to my gf's place, and contacted them 3 times in the span of 2 months, I still see pet fee in my rent. Today is my last day here, and the elevator broke again. I'm truly disappointed with this management/apartment. If you are looking at this place, look somewhere else, their promise of remodeling in 4months has way overdue. For the same amount of rent you can find much better apartments nearby. read more

It is in a great location. The people are nice maintenance fix all my problems. There is a patio that you can watch sports in.

I just toured this community and it is absolutely stunning! I remember seeing this property when it was named the grand. I hope to bring my husband back and make this our home, but it is absolutely beautiful and a must see The weight room and game room are second to none! Loved loved loved my tour! Thank you! read more

wow the coolest our new gym and equipment and cofee machines check out or business center and rec rooms well the rest is awesome and the managers and workers 14 yr tenant g go it iss s gaby most awesome is the lobby and hosts and aroma a great gym and very lovely spa read more

Really wish I could give this complex 0 stars. Don't be fooled by the glitz and glam...this place is a sham. From the inside out, it is a glass house. Elevators were inoperable at least once a week, allowing you to enjoy some peace and quiet while being stuck for 15-30 minutes. Constant issues with plumbing/water (Toilet kept flushing repeatedly despite maintenance trying to fix it several times). But NOTHING compares to the soothing sound of fire alarms going off weekly at 2am. I really wish this was an exaggeration, but ask anybody who lives here. Hell, even contact the fire department down the street and ask them. Drives you absolutely insane and definitely caused some damage to my ears. Just when I thought I was free of this nightmare, they decided to tack on several charges and return only 1/4th of my deposit even though I left the place spotless and hired a cleaning crew before leaving. Oh, and good luck trying to get in contact with the front desk. Fairly certain they ignore calls on purpose. For an "upscale" apartment complex, Greystar falls short on all fronts. Please do yourself a favor and run very fast, very far away. read more

I moved to the Grand at the end of last year, and just wanted to write about how great my experience has been so far. The day i walked into the management office i was greeted by the sweetest person, Aly Widdifield. From day one, Aly has bent over backwards, always coming through for me when I needed something done. Along with the rest of the helpful management and maintenance staff, they have made my stay at the Grand a wonderful experience. If your looking for a place to live that is right in the heart of Sherman Oaks, i would recommend checking this place out! -Joe read more

The staff gave me a tour of the newly renovated areas.....looks great! Can't wait to use all the new common area and gym!

I am giving 5 stars to Manuel and his maintenance team. My AC went out when it was 115 degrees outside and 93 degrees on my unit (this was yesterday, its 109 outside today). Unfortunately, they had to go on the roof to add freon and do some other trouble shooting and it was 146 degrees up there. They didnt stop until it was fixed and never complained. They were also tending to 5 other tenant AC issues and each one was a high prority to them. Thanks for your hard work guys. The AC is doing fine now. read more

If I could give this apartment and management lower than one star I would. I am a current resident here and have been for the last year and a half and I have to say it has been a God-awful experience with the only people who are actually decent here are the maintenance crew. The manager, who I've maybe seen in his office once, is never here and the rest of the management has no clue what is going on. They treat their residents poorly and will put stickers on cars/tow cars parked in the future residents' parking, even after the designated time. I have seen countless cockroaches, the fire alarms go off every other day, cars constantly get broken into, and the swat team has been here on two separate occasions. if you are thinking about moving into this building I advise you to not do so because it would be a huge mistake. Ratings higher than a two-star are either fake or they have not been living here long enough.! I live on the top floor but what does it matter because there is constant construction being done on the roof. If you want the elevators to actually work then good luck. There could be an entire book on the wrongfulness of this management as well as the structure of this building. Also, I am seeing a lot of reviews about how great Hastea or whatever her name is. Let's be honest, she is the worst. Hastea or however you spell her name added $50 onto my rent due to a trash fee?? I had to complain to get this removed. Not only that, but days before her firing, she went on a power trip and I know numerous residents who have gotten into it with her. If you see a positive review about this place and Hastea, they are most likely from her trying to not only boost her ego but the building's overall rating as well. The 5-star ratings are lies and you should not believe them. Do not walk away from this place, RUN!! read more

I put a hold down on an apartment at Veda on a Friday afternoon that was listed for a certain price. I received a call, within the hour, saying that the price of the apartment went up ($200/month) and that I can still come view the unit. After viewing the unit the next day, I informed the sales person that I will not be taking the unit, with the increased pricing, and would like the hold money back. He told me that he would contact his manager that weekend and I should hear back on Monday.... it is now A MONTH LATER and still nothing. I have called relentlessly, emailed and even appeared in person only to be told that "the check was issued" three weeks ago and should be receiving it shortly. I have requested to speak directly to the manager but continuously am passed around. Funny how Veda was so eager to call me to tell me of the price increase but refuses to answer the phone otherwise. DO NOT waste your time with these apartments. read more

********WARNING DONT LIVE HERE******* This place was a nightmare to live in and leave from . Number 1 reason is I'm writing this review and pushed me over the edge and warn others about this place is firstly I receive a call during work from Aaron and Erin Matt the leasing agents who tried to say left belongings in the apartment after I moved out and this is considered there by occupied and how I will be financially responsible for the apartment until we move out and return the keys, firstly they call me 10 days after I MOVED OUT and secondly I LEFT NOTHING in the apartment but the keys on the counter in (I couldn't leave the keys at the office because their offices were closed on the holidays and ) and because I personally cleaned the whole apartment from top to bottom and vacuumed it and cleaned inside the refrigerator and cabinets., washed etc and I'm OCD so I know and Thirdly I moved out on December 31st and I have a contract that says I moved out on the 31st and they called me January 9th.10 days after and fourthly I tried calling three times to make an appointment for a walk thru before I moved out and talked to the girl at the office who was as equally un professionally and rude named Ericka or Eron but she told me the first time she would call me back and she never did so I called the next day she told me the same thing but said oh he doesn't do walk thurs on this day so I was like what are they trying to pull???!! So I call the third time and she said she would call me back again and let me know when !!!and said the same thing and never called me back again for the third time!! and fifth reason this apartment is from hell is the fire alarm goes and off In the middle of the night almost 1 or 2x a week and caused a terrifying loud noise. 6th reason is the water on the shower has to be set at a certain angle to retrieve warm water if your lucky. Seventh reason is there is no place to walk your dog or grass and the only place is the dumpster near the 777 hotel by the dumpster . 8th reason is the place had garbage shoots for trash that contained the worst smells you can imagine. So I just want to help others out because i wish I read these reviews before I moved to this place because all these negative reviews people are saying the same things that I personally experienced and that I went through and it's been a nightmare living here and leaving here as well.Word of advice .if your moving be sure to take pictures of the apartment after you moved out and have witnesses so they don't screw you with your deposit or hit you with any charges !!! read more

I love living at The Grand. My gf has been living here for the last 7 years and I have for the past year, they have been very good with us and we have no complaints. Sean and the rest of the team has been amazing to us. The location is perfect for us and we have an amazing view. Thank you guys! read more

VEDA - My view - Apartments Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I'm moving to the LA area and visited Veda. I'm waiting to see if I'm approved to move in, but thought I'd share my experience as many reviews noted seem very different than what I found. The apartments were very pretty and Eddy (building manager) explained the property had recently been renovated. It looks like a new apartment and I love the gym!! The entrance feels very elegant and I thought looked amazing! Love the apartments and can't wait to have some pool time As the pool and couch areas are very inviting. Eddy was very professional and kind to me and I appreciate him taking the time to explain the apartment building and overall area! I strongly suggest this building! CB read more

If i could give negative stars i would. The maintenance team is the laziest and this is definitely not worth what you're paying for. When it rained for a week straight my apartment flooded and ruined the carpet. It not only got in the living room but in my bed room. It has been over a week of my and my roommate making requests to get it fixed and clean and still has yet to be done. The carpet in my room is still wet and currently molding on top and my wall is currently molding as well. There has been over a week of us calling and asking for it to be fixed and all the office does is make another request. Nothing is done in a timely fashion and they certainly don't care if you are living in unhealthy conditions such as mold. read more

VEDA - Molding on the carpet and the walls - Apartments Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I just find myself getting more and more annoyed living here. My main question is who is rating this place a 4 or 5. Non-stop loud construction that vibrates your apartment (6 days a week), leaks, loud fire alarms constantly going off even around 3AM and 6AM on weekends when you're suppose to catch up on sleep. Water constantly shut off, get stuck with other peoples bills, $50 for garage opener (rather than charge you replacement cost they tack on a margin) and plenty more mistakes. Slum lords with bad business etiquette. read more

It's really sad to have to say that The Grand apartments in Sherman Oaks, CA are by far the worst residential building I have ever lived in. It is in a great location, easy access to both the 405 and the 101 & attached to the beautiful galleria and the apartments are decent as well, but the management team makes every incentive about The Grand insignificant. Ever since I moved here in October, I have had NON-STOP issues at this place and it has cause more stress than it has ever been worth. Where do I even begin? I guess it's not fair to say it's the management "team" that is a nightmare, it is the main office manager, Janel. She will put a smile on and kiss your ass until you sign your lease, and then it is a different story. I came home one day to my bathroom sink flooding with muddy water and overflowing onto the floor, ruining everything in it's path. I had to shut it off and clean it up myself and no one could explain to me why this happened or if it would happen again. There was no water running in my apartment at the time and no one was even home, so that was unsettling, but moving on. We then had a day of rain and a pipe was clogged by my bedroom supposedly, so our entire apartment flooded and the carpets and everything in the closet was soaking wet. Their solution to the problem was to clean the carpets. Clothes, purses, and personal items had to be thrown away, and the smell of mold and musk was so strong I had to go sleep in a hotel. We then had mold issues for over a month that were not handled or addressed in a proper manner. We were also told that the hallways were due for renovation and that they would be started after we moved in but this was yet another lie and the hallways still look like a fraternity house and have not been touched. In a friends unit, they went 5 months without a working dishwasher and turned in maintenance reports monthly at no avail. We were told to get rid of our "unauthorized canine" , yet the lovely Janel has at least 2 dogs living right next to us in her apartment. The fire alarms go off ALL the time and it takes several minutes for them to be turned off. I could go on for days. These are just the major issues we have dealt with and I am counting down the days until our lease is up. So other than the decent lobby area & good location, The Grand is a joke and I would not recommend it to ANYONE ever again. read more

This place is a sh*t hole. Don't be fooled by the "luxury" label. The water is constantly being shut off, the fire alarms go off in the middle of the night for 30 minutes at a time, construction gets in the way of everything and the elevators are always broken. I honestly wish I took the reviews to heart before moving in. I've never been so unhappy in any apartment I've lived in and things just seem to get worse as our time here goes on. Do yourself a favor and find any other complex to live in. This one is definitely not worth the price. read more

Very expensive. They have been under construction the entire time I've lived here (about 4 months). The water gets shut off at least once a week, today without any notice. The floor isn't flat and leans drastically. The balcony fills with water when it rains. It's a nightmare. There are much nicer places for way cheaper than this place. read more
