Do not consider moving in to this community if you do not want to risk having your money taken from you. Upon moving in last year, my husband and I found the community to be well-maintained and the staff to be very helpful. We resided in a one-bedroom apartment and had to reduce our vehicles to just one due to the limited parking, which was nearly nonexistent on the street. Our apartment windows overlooked a busy 4-way intersection on Los Feliz, and the constant noise from cars racing through at
...all hours became a major disturbance, waking us up and causing stress. The noise from motorcycles was even worse, penetrating through closed windows. There was also a nearby train station, adding to the disruptive noise with frequent horn blasts. Despite our efforts to cope with the nightly disruptions, our peace was consistently shattered.
We were compelled to terminate our lease prematurely due to my health issues and my husband's new job, resulting in us having to pay nearly $3,000. When I attempted to negotiate a lower termination fee, considering our financial strain from having a newborn, we were informed that the stipulated fee was non-negotiable and our options were to pay or continue staying in the unit. It seemed clear that the community management prioritized rent collection above the well-being of its residents.
My overall experience with this community has been utterly distressing. All of our $600 security deposit was withheld, despite my extensive efforts to thoroughly clean the unit all through the night. It is baffling to see that we were charged $170.00 for cleaning services, and an additional $217.75 for wall painting in the entire one-bedroom space. This is especially confounding as the living room walls already had existing stains and scratches when we moved in, which were documented during the initial inspection. During our short stay we kept the apartment very well maintained. We even attempted to conceal these damages during our occupancy.
