This apartment complex is great for the quiet crowd. As a gated apartment complex, it provides a feeling of security that a single female straight out of college greatly appreciates when moving here from several states over. It's also great for small families.
Included: Water, Dishwasher, mailbox, parking space, pool/hot tub access, sauna access (though I believe they're only single to two-person stalls; not many people use them), access to an on-site "gym" (if I remember correctly, it's a
...treadmill and one set of weights), and access to the BBQ's and patio lounge area.
NOT included: washer/dryer (they're on-site, and there are plenty of them, but the laundry rates are comparable to a laundromat's), fridge, internet, TV (note: the two TV options readily available to subscribe to in this location are TWC and Verizon Fios)
The rooms are spacious, and the kitchens and bathroom areas look quite nice (with faux granite surface, instead of the typical white or wood surface that makes so many apartment kitchens look super small). This location is roughly 2 miles from the Redondo Marina/beach, and it's conveniently located within walking distance of the Galleria mall, several grocery stores, MacDonald's (which is right across the street), and more.
Note: There's an extra deposit required per cat residing with you (no dogs, as far as I know).
This is a peaceful apartment complex where neighbors don't often hang out and interact like family but will politely greet each other in passing. In order to keep everyone happy, there are management-enforced rules forbidding residents from playing loud music outside in the common areas (even if live jam sessions), so no parties allowed.
If you are seeking a young party place where being loud and obnoxious is the norm and/or is highly encouraged, you might want to look a little closer to the Hermosa Pier.
However, if you're looking for a place that's well-maintained, has an extra level of security, has a large common patio area with plenty of lounge furniture, is peaceful at night (and in general throughout the day as well), and is a convenient location, then this may be the place for you.
