Absolute worst experience I have ever had as a renter. 3 hazardous sewage floods occurred during a 1 year period. (2022-2023) Managment is incompetent. 0 security. Consistent robberies. Homeless consistently getting access to sleep in common areas. Mailboxes broken into regularly. Drugs and crack pipes left in common areas. Managment is not trustworthy. Several water leaks from windows and balconies. I could go on and on. All to say beware of this building and company and if you do rent get EVERYTHING in writing read more

Sad to say that my first review on here was 5 stars and the property manager that we used to have Dwayne was amazing, but a few weeks ago the property has been purchased by another company and it has been downhill from there. Well let's start by saying if you want to live with maggots in your home then this is the place for you. This new company Pacific Apartments has not had someone come pick up our garbage in about a week. The trash has been piling up in the trash chute storage room, the hallway smelled, and the neighbors complained. No one ever came to check on the situation all they ever said was the garbage man came it should be taken care of now. This was said to a few different tenants on different occasions. Well as a result when trash piles up and it stinks it creates maggots. Well the maggots decided to travel from the trash chute into our apartments. While this situation was going on the property managers and whoever we called were completely dismissive. The person who was supposed to assist in taking care of the property Javier even suggested that this wasn't a big enough emergency and that he would send someone out to take care of this tomorrow morning. Can you believe that!? There was lack of customer service, lack of responsibility, and on top of that they came to clean my apartment the next day (because I complained so bad) they brought 3 ladies with mops and brooms. No one touched the carpet in my bedroom even though they said it would be vacuumed and steamed. I found 2 more maggots in my apartment the same night and the next day. I even saw more maggots in the hallway. It could be because just a broom won't fix the situation! I am still waiting for them to talk to be about what they are going to do for myself and the tenants because they let this happen. There is trash all over the building in the hallways, in the garages, I mean it's so horrible now. I wish our old property manager and maintenance men would come back! I can't even share the pictures I have or you wouldn't eat for a week. You definitely wouldn't want to eat white rice anymore. This is just one huge and horrible story that I have but trust me I also have other ones like when I had a leaking sink and they told me no one could help me until the next day (that's a whole other story). Moral of this review if you can avoid it don't move to this place. I never in my life thought I would have maggots in my home. read more

I have lived here for the past year and Dwayne has been absolutely wonderful!! He was always very timely with getting everything done and worked hard to ensure all our needs were met. He has made my time here wonderful!!! *****update***** since Dwayne left this place is garbage. Dirty, my sink leaks, there have been maggots, and roaches.... they don't clean any of the common grounds... then they have the nerve to tell us we have to pay for clogged drains... as if all the money we pay already isn't enough. There is never anybody to be found. Nobody is responsive to any calls or emails.... this place is a joke. The absolute worst. But don't try and pay your rent on the 2nd because of course they have their hands out waiting to collect at the beginning of every mth. I would rather live in skid row then stay living here. Much cheaper there and basically the same living conditions... if anybody had any advice about who I could contact in reference to this shit hole we live in, feel free to contact me. I know this can't be legal..... read more

Management is wildly incompetent. Mark is a terrible property manager. Literally god awful. Can't handle any stress, just absolutely crumbles from it. Extremely rude human being. You'll pay for literally every fucking utility under the sun + a "pest maintenance fee" + a "community maintenance fee" and guess what? You'll still have silver fish and ants all over your apt, even if you clean it every fucking day. Seriously, avoid this place. Their love for austerity causes the cheap ass pipes in the building to leak or burst every other month. They replaced perfectly good laundry machines (ones that took credit cards mind you) with ones that you need a dumbass app for. Funniest part is they bribe tenants into writing good yelp reviews by offering them a fucking $5 Starbucks gift card. Imagine.... read more

Jess- just where is our gym exactly? Because, well...I live here and we don't have a gym. We rarely even have a working elevator. Unless you're referring to taking the stairs as a gym? Cheers. read more

My car was broken into the other day while it was in the garage and someone stole my stereo. Went into the managers office to figure out the camera system for myself (she claims a security company needs to operate it) and I found out it hasn't recorded anything for 6 months. Corporate refuses to renegotiate my lease. read more

I dont know what this GYM is supposed to be?? I unfortunately live in this building and nothing ever works. We have been promised a gym since 2 managers ago, and it hasn't happened. The "smart and kind" manager is never here and when you do have a chance to let her know something needs attention,nothing ever happens. This place gets dirtier and sketchier by day. read more

So I told the management, Pacific Apartments that I was gonna move out of the building summer 2018 because me and my husband found military housing in San Diego. Mark said that he wanted my move out process to be simple. If anything, it's anything but simple. I moved out a week ago and I called they said my move out process will take a couple of days and that I owe money more than what my rent is for!! I got a one bedroom and they said I owe 2,800!! This is adding more stress to me! Avoid if possible. read more

After 10 years in the same apartment, I became interested in 'The Alvarado Collection' Lofts. In addition to reading all previous yelp reviews, I spoke to potential neighbors and visited the building and surrounding area long before I officially made my move. I did everything in my power to make my transition smooth. Even still, my move was extremely difficult. I came in the middle of a surprise managerial transition that I was not made aware of. My apartment wasn't ready, management voice-mail was full and I was extremely stressed and beyond pissed. At the time of my move, the new manager (Christine) arrived and began to implement a professional and courteous management style that restored the confidence i had previously lost in 'The Alvarado Collection' Loft apartments and its owner 'The Remm Group.' By way of Christine, 'The Remm Group' sincerely apologized and promptly compensated me for the inconvenience. It's not how you start, it's how you finish. Since then, any problem that I have had with my apartment has been documented and addressed. Finding an apartment is always difficult. Especially in the entertainment capitol of the world. California, in particular Los Angeles, has some of the highest rent in the country. In addition to being America's unofficial homeless capital, marijuana continually remains in legislation to be become recreationally legal. I said this to say, you GET what you pay for. Because I researched, I had and idea of what I was GETTING into. Yelp stars are not responsible for my happiness, I am. Some of the reviews I have read seem a little too personal. The length alone of one review in particular was a red flag that there is an agenda beyond warning me of rumors of a 'mystery gym.' Who has the that much time to discourage potential renters? I don't care about your girlfriend or your lawyer, just tell me if the dryer works. The Alvarado Collection / The Remm Group cannot control the homeless population, traffic, illusive elevator smokers, sirens or feelings of personal loss for former management or maintenance staff. I enjoy my apartment. If I could live better, I would move. Until then, I would definitely recommend taking a look. read more

This place is a complete joke. I lived in 245 for almost 2 years. Here's a handy list of what happened in that time... 1. When we toured our unit initially, we were told the price was $1150 including utilities. When we went to sign the least, the management suddenly "forgot" about the utilities part. We already planned to move and couldn't back out at that point... great first impression! 2. Moving day comes. We move in the middle of August, with temperatures over 90 degrees. Surprise! Our air conditioning doesn't work. When we called the manager, she just said they're "working on it". Took over 2 weeks for this to get fixed during the hottest month of the summer. 3. Our unit was trashed when we moved in. Building materials, cans, trash all over the apartment. We contact the manager, she says she will send someone to clean it. No one ever comes. We have to clean it ourselves. 4. Managers were non-existent over the entire 2 years we lived here. I think the place changed management at least 3 times in that time, but we never actually met ANY of the managers. 5. We got trapped in the elevator here at 1am. We press the emergency call button in the elevator... surprise! It doesn't work. Thank god we had our phones on us or who knows how long we would have been trapped. While waiting for the fire department, we notice the elevator permit is over 2 years expired. Hmm. 6. Garage door broke all the time. 8am and trying to get to work? Too bad, you're trapped because the door won't open. Call management? Oh, they don't have an emergency line to call. Good luck. Eventually a guy with a screwdriver managed to open the door for the 10+ people trapped for over an hour. Glad I had to explain that to my boss. 7. Dog shit everywhere. All the time. EVERYWHERE. 8. Our rent was raised from $1150 to $1300 within a year of living here. What a joke. 9. One time we got locked out of our apartment during "office hours". So you think someone would be there to let us in right? Wrong. We had to call a locksmith because the office was empty at 4pm on a weekday. Lock smith comes and says he can't open the door, since the door isn't even LEGAL. The locks they use aren't legally allowed to be used on apartment doors. Good luck people. Eventually we got in when our neighbor broke open the door with a knife. I sure felt safe! They try to pass off this place as "luxury" apartments. Don't be fooled into overpaying for this crappy apartment in a crappy area! I now live in Koreatown in a bigger apartment, without all the issues listed above, for $1200 a month! Never again! read more

Dwayne has been super helpful! When we still had no luck finding an apartment, Dwayne followed up with his promise to call us if an apartment came available. He was very patient with us as we are new to getting an apartment in dtla! Thank you Dwayne for all your hard work! read more

Update: Ever Gonzalez has proven to be just as useless as his fellow property managers. Our bathtub has had sitting water in it for now a week, our carbon monoxide alarm has gone off twice, and every time we run the dishwasher there is some water coming out of the wall into the living room. We have damage to our clothes and furniture. As of this review, nothing has been done to address these problems. To any prospective renters, AVOID this place at all costs! Ever Gonzalez has no manner of professionalism, and has continued to prove to be a disappointment in every aspect. read more

Living at (301 the Park) has been a good experience. The apartment complex is nice only 3 floors with elevator and not over crowded or long hallways. It's a well kept place to call home & conveniently near the 101 Fwy. The area is clean outside, no homeless sleeping on property nor violence with pin pad for entry and onsite parking garage. Living here has been great, the apartment manager Christine is very helpful and is quick to get any maintenance work done & concerns resolved which is why we renewed our lease for another year. Definitely recommend... read more

Everytime I read the reviews on here I double check to see if their talking about 301 N ALVARADO !! I think it's great! My apartment has never had any problems so far! Only issue before was maintenance. Maintenance in the building is now better than ever! Our new MAINTNANCE guy TIM is the best! He came first on Friday of last week to make sure he had everything he needed to take care of everything. Today Monday he came at a convenient time and took care of everything in a timely manner! (Fire detector renewals and my towel rack fell) when he left he recommended some things, and sprayed a fabulous air freshener before he left! He's respectful and professional so I had to write a review! Yay we finally have a perfect maintenance guy! Also big thanks to Christine for making this place, a good place to live! I just got a new ROOMATE and she loves it here! read more

I've been living here since September and the apartment I'm renting was previously occupied for about four years. Needless to say, it's needed a lot fixing. Dwayne, the on-site property manager, took care of nearly all of that before I ever moved in. And he's been quick to respond to anything that's popped up since. He also provides me with regular updates for ongoing repairs. I've jumped around from place to place for the past couple of years, but this is the first time I've felt like I'm at home. I love my apartment and I'm grateful to have someone like Dwayne around that actually cares about his residents. read more

My roommates and I absolutely love our new apartments here at 301 the park! This all would not be possible without Christine. She has been absolutely amazing and made our move super easy; Her personality alone sold us on the apartments! This is exactly the kind of office manager that is needed to get the job done right. We love the fact that we can have our dogs, as we all know Los Angeles is not very pet friendly so this was a huge plus. They keep the place super clean which we love and we are located 7 minutes from downtown and 10 minutes from Hollywood; doesn't get much better than that! We've told you several times but thank you, thank you, thank you Christine! Cheers, Jasmine read more

So I've been here with my significant other for about 4 months now and we couldn't be any happier. Dwayne and his team are fantastic from every vantage point. Repairs are conducted right away and the communication from the office is 110% professional. The apartment complex itself is always clean thanks to the hard-working maintenance and cleaning crew. Other residents are easy-going, respectful, and very welcoming. Location-wise, we are literally one block away from the major L.A. freeways. If you work in downtown, you can get there in about 5 minutes driving or a 10-minute bus ride (stop is right outside the apartment). Overall, 301 The Park is a great place to live and for a very reasonable price. I would recommend it to anyone moving into the city! . read more

I just renewed my lease for the 3rd year, but only because of how great the new management staff is -- they get things done the RIGHT way! They have made such positive improvements, which have made me a very happy resident. I called the office for a garbage disposal issue I was having in the morning and by the time I got home it was completed with a note stating what time it was done. Also, I used to pay $100 for parking in Hollywood, but the parking spot I have now is INCLUDED!!!!! They even painted my living room as a renewal special. I totally feel at home. I love my apartment and I LOVE the new managers! read more

WE moved from tHe orsini to 301 the park. The Orsini has nice grounds and respond to maintenance in a timely manner(never longer than a week during my experience) The downside was the management, they were never accomodating. So we moved. WE have lived in this apartment at 301 the park since april 2014 and are again eager to move out. The first impression is this place is well kept with the polished hardwood floors and upgraded bathroom fixtures and great coat closet and pantry. It is a good sized 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment at just under 1000 sqft. Then shortly after we moved in, the small annoyances quickly began. The first bad experience: nails sticking out of our carpet at the baseboard, We have 2 small children that could have easily been hurt by this if I wasn't vigilant about it. The first time management apparently fixed it, but I had to have them return because I was still feeling NAILS in my carpet. This made me more aware of the possibility of shoddy workmanship from maintenance. Before we moved in, we were told that maintenance responds within 24 hours. That was the case early on, but as time has progressed, the window of response gets longer and further away. I have currently been waiting for the mirrored slide closet door in my kids room to be fixed for over 3 weeks now. this is not only ugly, but it is unsafe!!!! The bedroom window in our master bedroom shattered to pieces while we were trying to open it!!! no undue or excessive force. I have never experienced that before!!! not only were we made to pay for it because it was basically "our word" against management, but it took them over 5months to repair!!!!!! WTF!! We basically got sick and tired of fighting who was at fault and valued our safety more than the argument. The surrounding area constantly feels unsafe, i am not eager to stroll around the neighborhood. WE pay for 2 parking spots in the covered locked gated garage. Though we only have 1 car, we have had issues with people parking in our spot without notifying us. In fact, one of the other tenants said that management told them they could park in our spot. Yet another annoyance we had to call management about and get squared away. there was also a roach issue!!! Weeks after we moved in, i counted about 7 roaches....too many for me. The apartments were, however, fumigated and I haven't seen any roaches since. Our shower curtain rod was broken for over a month, until maintenance finally replaced it. our electrical sockets in the living room are loose, and I was afraid to plug things in, and this made me nervous with my kids running around. A lot of issues just seem like a lawsuit waiting to happen. These have since been fixed. WE were promised a gym would be built "very soon". Im beginning to think that is a trap to lure new tenants, as I read other reviews on this site. I haven't seen a gym at all!! The garage door is frequently broken, which makes me feel unsafe, especially because a car has been stolen over the Holidays!!!! WTF???? Trash chute is often overflowing with garbage. There are only 4 washers and dryers and most of them are always broken. You would have to factor in going to a laundry service if you want to live here Manager comes off nice and sweet, but gives you the run-around when trying to get things fixed. She puts a lot of blame on "corporate" yet, you can never dispute or talk to "corporate" about anything. Some good things about this apartment: I think its spacious and in a good proximity to downtown where I work. manager like to throw mixers and parties, that is a nice gesture. I don't currently have a problem with noise but our apartment doesn't face alvarado. WE have had very noisy neighbors above us that fought like cats and dogs. But we never complained to management, so I can't blame them for noisy tenants. Also good, we were given a good move in discount for the first month, and Christine was very accomodating with our schedules and meeting with us after hours to receive payment. All in all, this place is not worth $2200/month in my evaluation of things. read more

This is a very nice complex... I moved in about two months ago and I am very happy... It's usually hard for me to find a place that approves so quickly.. The manager Janessa (and I'm hoping I spelled it right) was very friendly and very swift in moving me in she even worked a good deal with me and was flexible about a lot of things... Maintenance staff is on point and anything I need they respond real quick... There's no bs or run around here if you need something they'll work with you with a smile... read more

The building manager Dwayne was so accommodating in our transition into our new home. Whenever we needed something to be fixed Dwayne took care of it right away. He is also very responsive by email and phone. Thank you for all your help, Dwayne!! read more

Roaches!!!! This apt has a roach infestation and now they want to jack the rent $300 every year. They allow stray cats to live in the garage that just attracts more roaches. I have had the dept of health come by twice and confirm that the roach infestation is true. read more

I have lived at the Alvarado collection residence for a year now and I loved it so much that I moved to the property directly next door and downsized to a one bedroom . The leasing manager ALIA is not only kind but she is very organized and efficient ! This property is very convenient to the DTLA area. It's very quiet and clean and Maintenance responds very quickly . I would recommend this property to anyone ! I love silver lake / echo park and I love the Alvarado Collection read more

My wife and I moved into this property about six months ago. Our apartment is nicely lain out and well maintained. The building is mostly quiet and full of neighbors who believe in courtesy and community. The management and staff have been a dream. They are endlessly professional, personable, accommodating and diligent. We are looking forward to renewing our lease and will likely stick with 301 The Park for many years to come. read more

My sister lives here and I as watching her dog while she was out of town. Every time I came by the office staff was so helpful and friendly. I noticed she needed her garbage disposal fixed and went to the grocery store came back and it was already done. Very impressed with the customer service here. read more

I would rather die than ever live here again. Our first apartment, which was actually pretty nice and had a view of the Hollywood sign and the bickering neighbors, was infested with cockroaches. What are the options? Move your stuff in or else move into the 301 building into a dungeon. After their method of "getting rid" of the roaches failed, we were forced to move into the dark dungeon. So many things were wrong with that place. - Garage door was broken (so much for safe parking), - Our sinks and tubs were ALWAYS over-flowing with hair and drainage backup from the apartments above us (we were on the first floor) - If you couldn't talk with management directly there was a 2% chance of things getting done - We went from cockroaches to spiders - The traffic on Alvarado street was SO LOUD that the windows and mirrors were literally shaking with the noise - The family with their infant children would run around from 5AM until midnight or later. I thought most kids need to sleep or have parents that understand that?? I understand that children are noisy but the parents were the most disrespectful, violent, and angry people I've met. I went to speak to them civilly at 6am one day only to be screamed at and threatened by them. I'm so glad I got the chance to be neighbors with people I feared would harm me if I laid eyes on them. - The neighborhood is dirty and nasty. So many disgusting catcalls and sketchy people hanging around, so many domestic disturbances and fights and gunshots and drug deals, I'm surprised I survived living in that area. Unless you want to have criminals and awful people as neighbors, live in a crap-hole that promises Eden but gives you the sewers, and fear for your life every time you walk out your door stay FAR AWAY from this place. DO NOT LIVE HERE (even if it means being homeless) TURN AROUND AND RUN!!! read more

This place is not a great place to live in the area. There were consistant problems with power at 223, often surging and shutting off. There were constant problems with rotating and very uncivilized neighbors. This was often at extreme levels, where someone was arguing every day and destroyed the unit, below me for over a year. The police were often there for multiple residents. Having been there for a long time and knowing what it costs, there are a lot better places. This place also has gone through 3 property management companies over 4 years which is telling of the above. read more

If you're looking to pay top dollar to live in a shady neighborhood your friends will refuse to come to, this is it. The maintenance (Sergio) is a saving grace but aside from that this place is an overpriced joke. I can hear EVERY squeaky footstep from upstairs, the words to their music, and worst of all, their very private moments. I'm talking every thrust. I sleep with earplugs every night to try to escape the sounds of my horrible neighbors upstairs and out of control screaming children in the courtyard. I loved Alia but now that she is gone the office sits empty and I'm counting the days till I can leave too. Dear Future management if you ever arrive, Feel free to contact me to discuss freeing me of this hell and I'll happily delete this review. read more

Dwayne is a good dude, very pleasant and accommodating and actually cares, I have even seen him doing the mopping when the maintenance guy was not there. Place has turned up since he has arrived. Theres a lot of establishments walking distance to here including a good handful that are 24/hrs. It's a noisy neighborhood so you can't really fault them for that. Most of the noise is sirens, choppers and freights. Its like that anywhere in central LA All the stray cats in the garage needs to be culled because they cause the garage to be totally piss-laden. Also the elevator is scary. read more

I must say that when I first moved into the Alvarado Collection, management was nonexistent. My roommate and I could never get in touch with management or the maintenance staff. Everything was completely disorganized until the new management company took over. Alia is the new manager and she is absolutely wonderful. I don't have many problems with my apartment, but when I do call and/or email Alia, I always get a prompt response. I love my apartment. It's definitely the best on Alvarado Street. It's the little things (backsplash, accent walls, fixtures, management who cares, etc) that make me happy to call the Alvarado Collection my home. Thanks read more

I ADORE ALIA! She is the BEST apartment manager I've ever had ... and I've lived in many apartment buildings across Southern Cal.

We really loved the apartment but after our Christmas packages were stolen, our dog poisoned, needles with heroin still in them dropped outside the front door more than once, and no "official" manager for months prior to the current staff mentioned here. The management was MIA for roughly 4 months before a manager, who was never formally announced as the new manager, helped a tenant who parked illegally with expired tags, who threatened me and lied to the police about what wasn't even a fender bender, have me falsely arrested for a crime that didn't even happen. I can only say I was treated completely differently than the other tenant, while I was doing nothing illegal and she was doing everything illegal. Yet this manager gleefully celebrated my torture in the back of the car by LAPD. I have no idea why and this management company is responsible for maliciously destroying my life. I had to say something because all the true reviews are hidden. When we left, at least 4 people had told us they had lawsuits against this company. The day we left, the rain was coming through the roof, dripping through the ceiling surrounded by black mold. The maintenance guy said they'd never fix it. It was also the fourth time our dog was poisoned at that location. Be careful if you are not the right color. read more

Great community. The property manager, Alia, and the rest of the staff are the best! Love it.

The place is a dump management doesn't care owners don't care they continue to cut payroll cut corners and cut expenses. Carpets in the hallway are torn and ratted and barely get cleaned one entire hallway reeks of dog urine. Management is not on site and when they are they refuse to take care of problems. BUYER BEWARE!!! Their corporate office is no better if not worse there is no one to contact or will reply to service requests in the evenings or weekends and no one is regularly in the office to take care of things Monday through Friday daytime hours. They have an outsourced billing company that for the last six months has been unable to get the rent bill sent out on time or have the correct amounts on the bill; management charges Trash fees, community maintenance fees and pest control fees yet the trash is always overflowing bugs can often be found everywhere and the building isn't maintained. They have gone through 3 managers in the last 8 months and the positive reviews come from employees. I'm leaving when my lease is up and I would not encourage others to live here. There is a beautiful new building right around the corner I would check them out first. read more

Dwayne, the property's business manager, was nothing short of delightful. During our tour of the available apartments, he was professional, welcoming, quick to answer questions and to offer positive and helpful comments about his personal experience living in the building, on top of being incredibly personable. Though my husband and I have just started our search and are not ready to commit to the building, Dwayne and 301 The Park have made quite an impression. read more

Yes, definitely people who likes smoke weed are welcome here. The whole building, elevator smells like weed. When the contract said "Non smoking building" The management does not enforce this in any way. There's roches every where, elevator is broken all the time, machine and washer does not work properly, three car has been broken in the parking lot, the whole mail box was broken into and mails has been stolen, manager never reply emails, there is NO GYM. I don't know who pay to write your review Jess but I can see you don't even live here or you are confusing the laundry machine with treadmill. I never saw these many tenants in and out in such a short time. People even break the lease and prefer to lose the deposit to move out from here. But the worse is when the manager comments about a tenant to others "tenants", No, does not the worse., the worse is the " Racial profiling" comments from the very professional manager.... And when you hear her saying this for a tenant it doesn't matter if you are white, Black, Asian or Hispanic is Not Right!!! So if you like all these qualities of the place, maybe this is your home! read more

I absolutely had a great tour and experience with the manager Dwayne. The building is well kept and modern with gated garage parking. Only thing I thought it was echo park when applying and over my budget so I cancelled my application. Dwayne did not give me a problem to refund as they had a huge computer problem not his fault. The delay caused me to change my mind. However I may consider another studio of theirs because he was so nice. Def check it out! If you like to be in the city. read more

I really do like it here. And Christine is pretty freaking awesome. I have a balcony and a 1/2 way decent view of downtown. And supposedly there's a Hollywood sign view from the other side. I have an upgraded unit with hardwood floors in the living room and kitchen and granite countertops AND assigned garage parking!! You can't beat that with a stick A major upgrade from my K-Town studio with street parking that got me towed twice and cost me over 2 grand to LA City. I digress. Where was I.. Oh. And it's not too expensive (yet.. I hear market rates went up) I have no legit complaints that I can think of. Sure, Alvarado is loud. But whatever. Close your window. There's central air, so you really have no excuse there. And then there's the laundry room downstairs.. The machines have been repaired and they do a much better job now. I'm picky about my laundry, and after not being completely satisfied after a few tries, I vowed to never use those machines again, but they're decent now. In LA, you pretty much get what you pay for. And its really hard to find a deal. I guess if I paid more, I'd expect more, but for the price, I'm fine. I'm happy. It's perfect. If I weren't leaving to move back to Atlanta, I'd definitely be renewing. And Christine is freaking amaze-balls!! And she keeps starbursts and pelligrino fully stocked in her office :) read more

Wish I could give half a star. TERRIBLE!! Im confused at all the good reviews. Allia seems professional and friendly but she is FAKE, smile in your face tell you one thing then not follow through. I felt like I was in kindergarden with all the daily notices left on my door. I would think Alvarado Collections would spend more time and hire more adequate building managers. But the corporate office worker Gillian isn't much better. However, the maintainers were great, definitely fixed any issues promptly. He sprayed my apartment the same day when I nearly had an anxiety attack because I seen a ROACH. Yes, a roach I noticed in my living room 3 months after haven moved in. Do you like ROACHES?? Had to get my apartment sprayed 2x while I was there due to the frequent shift in residents. Lord knows who or what the residents were bringing in. Overall my experience wasn't terrible until I tried to move out. I STILL gave them the benefit of the doubt even with the frequent crack heads having arguments outside my window OR the paper thin walls that makes it seem like the bus or cars were driving in your bedroom. God bless you if theres an earthquake, I wonder if the structure will withstand it. Regardless, moving out was like your breaking up with a boyfriend. Communication was terrible. You would think they were car sales men when they get you in to sign the lease. BUT READ, READ, and re-READ your lease. I would get a lawyer before you even sign it. I would never recommend ANYONE here. Please RUN fast FAR away from these people!! Wish someone would have warned me. read more
