Do not rent

February 1, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
Do not Rent here...high in Crime. Apts no privacy...Paper thin Walls

LA Vida Nueva

September 14, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
Starting out on my own I seen this studio as a nice start to my independence. Doing it on my own hasn't been easy but whenever I'm home everything seems fine. No neighbors bother or are loud. If I pass by any neighbors everyone is friendly. It makes me feel at peace just knowing after a long hard day at work I can enjoy peace and quite at a place I call my home at LA Vida Nueva Apartments. Winning this would be a miracle because I am on my own and I would greatly appreciate this blessing.
