Crown Encino Apartamentos

always available and just exudes love and care for this building and those who live here. And the maintenance man, John, is fantastic! He knows how to fix anything and everything and his quick wit and sense of humor will have you in stitches. In terms of location, Crown Encino is 10/10. It is perfectly set between the 101 Freeway and Ventura Blvd. This means you don't hear the freeway or the main street, but you still are in extremely close proximity to it. You also can walk to Ralphs, Dollar Tree, BevMo, and so much more. Just make sure to invest in a rolling cart to haul your purchases back as that will save you so much stress in the long run. The largest negative of living here is the lack of parking. If you are a one-car household then you will be fine as you are given one parking space. But if you are like me and have two or more cars for your household, you will have to deal with street parking which can be a nightmare at times. Another negative I have found is that your packages are occasionally stolen from the front lobby as delivery drivers will just leave them out and not put them into your mailbox. However, packages dropped off at my door have never been stolen so I now specify on every order that my packages need to be dropped at my door and nowhere else. While not necessarily a negative, there is also no gym here. Overall, Crown Encino is a great place to live and I cannot recommend it enough, especially if you are looking for a safe, quiet enclave in a bustling city!

the Building, and the Apartment This is a heaven for smokers. Smoke permeates my apartment and makes me sick. The area is lawless. People double park, speed, and put dilapidated furniture on the curb. The building is old, so plumbing problems prevail and the water has to be shut down for half a day every two weeks. The foyer of the building is not welcoming and musty smelling. The speed bumps in the driveway are way TOO HIGH. Damage the car. The new paint in the apartment is so thin, one can see dark spots through it. When it rains, a migration of hundreds of ants walk in from nowhere and just walk across the kitchen counter to nowhere. The kitchen counters are dark which makes it hard to see nemesis and dirt that’s not supposed to be there. The manager doesn’t quality control the work of the cleaners. So every time they vacuum the hallways the fray my beautiful mat that I bought so that people won’t drag in dirt on the off white carpet inside. Likewise the yard blowers seem to come on days that I have my car washed. Twice I paid $20 for a special wash to end up with ½ inch dust all over my car.
