I've lived in a 2nd story apartment at Waterstone Apartments in Chatsworth for several years. My apartment has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (stove, fridge, and microwave) and a colorful paintjob. The carpet was new when I moved in and is incredibly thin, but I've gotten used to it.
The apartment complex itself is beautiful and well maintained. The interior is full of tree and a little fake river runs through everything. Everyone living here is nice, and the neighborhood is the
...quietest you could ever get. The amenities are also really nice, including a swimming pool, tennis courts, pool tables, grills, and a fireplace. One downside is the complex borders a high school. So if you have an apartment on that side, you'll have to deal with the sound of the school bells and PA system during the day. Also there's a lot of in the morning and afternoon with all the parents driving to the school. I'd say this is probably the worst aspect of living in this apartment complex, because it adds a good 20 minutes to my commute in the morning just getting past all of the minivans and school kids who don't know how to use a crosswalk.
Lastly... the leasing office staff. I've seen several employees come and go, but none have impressed me. I don't have anything large mailed to my apartment anymore, because packages go to the leasing office and are frequently lost. There was a period of time I was told I couldn't park in my parking spot for a month because of maintainence... only to see someone else was parking in it while I parked on the street. The leasing office wouldn't do anything about it. One terrible time I woke up to loud noises on my balcony... only to open my blinds and see a ladder and people moving my chairs around! Turns out the leasing office forgot to tell me they were repainting the balconies.
So if you want a nice apartment in a nice complex in a nice neighborhood, and you don't mind dealing with the nearby high school or boneheaded staff, then I recommend Waterstone.
