    Clean Property, Well Cared For

    September 5, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    The common areas are always clean, and the property is well cared for. Highly recommend. I park my car about a block away for $100 and use it only once or twice per week. It’s only a couple minute walk. There is lots of public transportation nearby but I mainly use Uber.

    Easy access to Uber and parking a block away

    September 3, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    The leasing process was smooth, and the staff made moving in easy and stress free. Ubers are super-fast pickups at this property. I park my car at a parking lot for rent a block away. If you are young and single this is a great place to be in Los Angeles.

    Friendly Management And a Great Price

    August 27, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    I was new to the Los Angeles area and don’t have a car and was looking for the best deal in town. It is an excellent apartment community with friendly management and spacious, comfortable units. Lots of great ethnic restaurants all around the area.

    Super great deal on the rent, lowest in the area. Quiet and nice place to live

    August 21, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    You can’t beat the price! Highly recommend this apartment building for anyone looking for a clean, safe, and professionally managed place to live. Easy short walk to all kinds of great restaurants around the building. I’m a big fan of Korean, Thai, and Chinese!

    Jose is a great, friendly on-site manager – happy to live here

    August 19, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    When you close your eyes imagine the roaring 20s! Jose and the maintenance team is prompt, and the property is always in excellent condition. I've been very happy living here. I met a bunch of friends that live here too. A mix of students and people that work in the area.

    Professional management and quick maintenance response

    August 16, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    I’m a student and this is a great location with professional management and a welcoming community atmosphere. My maintenance requests were attended to very quickly. The building was pretty quiet at night as well.. Cool 1920s historical brick building. Great deal if you have no car, Uber super quick and bus stop next door

    Great neighbors and a quiet, peaceful place to live

    August 6, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    The apartment is clean, well maintained, and offers everything I was looking for. Great place to live. Friendly neighbors, responsive management, and a peaceful environment make this apartment building stand out. It’s a very quiet community. Very close to public transportation.

    Great Experience, responsive management

    August 5, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    For the past three years since i moved in. I have had a great experience living in this apartment building. The management team is responsive and the property is well maintained. For the price, you can't find a better deal around downtown LA.

    Very Central Location and Quiet Building

    August 3, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    The Charleston has a very central location. The building is clean, quiet and nice place to coll home. The property manager handles maintaines requests very quickly.

    Affordable rent in an urban location

    July 29, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    I rented a studio here and it was one of the best deals I could find in a downtown location. The apartments were clean and efficient and the property is well maintained.

    Amazing space to call home!

    July 29, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    The Charleston Apartments has been a great place to call home. The location is perfect, the staff is friendly and helpful, and maintenance responds quickly when needed. I love being close to everything Downtown LA has to offer while still having a comfortable place to come home to. I’d definitely recommend checking it out!

    Very affordable price, great location, and well maintained

    July 29, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
    I attended FIDM and got a job in DTLA in the clothing industry. I have been living here for almost a year and just renewed my lease! The newly renovated units are beautiful with sleek modern kitchens and great natural light. Plus, being so close to DTLA makes my morning commute incredibly easy. You can't be the price - best deal in the area!
