FRUITLAND GARDENS, INC. Apartamentos

the ones in violation of the posted no parking signs), and building security is essentially nonexistent. The security issue is most troubling, due to the increased homeless presence in the surrounding neighborhood and the back alley. Do yourself a favor and rent elsewhere - this building and the management are beyond awful and difficult to deal with.

in Unit - Granite counters - Dishwasher - Great location - Great on-site managers, always around - Quiet, safe neighborhood - though we are near a busy, loud main street, you rarely hear the traffic - Can drop off rent in the on-site office - Have not had any bad experiences with bugs of any kind - Younger tenants, but no partying, yet not ideal for families - Pretty safe, have never had packages stolen, no break-ins Cons - The Landlord of the building is older and disorganized and gets easily confused, but you don't deal with him often. He does not live in the building. - They have raised the rent $150 every year since I've been here. Still reasonable rent though, for the area. - No one-bedrooms - A lot of the apartments face neighboring buildings, the best ones are in the front, view-wise - Apartments are built with cheap material, walls are thin, cheap cabinetry, etc. - Some bedrooms don't have an AC vent (likely because they were added on later) - AC is very loud throughout the apartment - Not enough closet space - Pet policy is iffy. I was told no pets, but there are pets in the building that the landlord knows about It's a decent apartment for what you get, and it's good if you're younger and/or just moved out to Los Angeles. Splitting the rent with roommates is very helpful and you get a lot of amenities compared to other buildings in the area. But if you're looking for your own place, or are starting/have a family, I would not suggest living here. I wish the materials used inside the apartments were better, but the overall structure of the building seems sound. Three Stars, overall.
