  • I HATE PTLA

    April 3, 2025
    1. carpets, bathrooms, counters, drawers were all disgusting when we moved in. 2. tiny rooms, thin walls and doors. not as bad as viking gardens but still not worth ~$920/month 3. they WILL CHARGE YOU for any damages they can if you didnt report them when you first moved in. this is especially dangerous because everywhere you look there is damage so its hard to notice every little thing and remember to write it down when you move in. I honestly wont be surprised if I dont get my incredibly ...
    expensive deposit back. 4. stove broke and it took over a month for them to fix it

  • Awful

    November 26, 2021
    Management is the worst I've ever seen. They are so unorganized and unhelpful and don't care about their tenants at all.

  • Terrible place to live

    August 13, 2021
    Management is awful, I recommend checking out the other reviews posted around the internet. I couldn’t get them to call me back at any point over the course of a year. It took over 2 months to get a key to my mailbox & many times the office was closed. I sent easily 10+ emails without ever getting a response in regards to coordinating my move out, no one ever responded. There have been a few accounts of them continuing to charge people after they move out & sending them to collections. This place ...
    is obscenely overpriced for the area, if I were you I’d just find somewhere else.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
