Recently moved to Eaves Cerritos and love my place. Very nice and neat. The personnel in the office were all nice and very attentive to my needs. read more

Bug problems, warm water doesn't work, and walls are paper thin so I can hear my neighbors and they're loud at night. Only redeeming quality about this place is their staff is very nice and the location is solid being next to the mall and freeway. read more

Eaves has definitely done a 180 degree turn here. When the new management switched over, everything was FANTASTIC. - Tenant maintenance requests were taken care of within 24 hours. A++++ - Eaves staff members: Genaro and Carlos are very helpful and prompt when responding to requests. I appreciate their hard work. - You can pay your rent and utilities online. - Laundry machines now accept Visa/Mastercard. A++ - Grounds are well maintained - Fitness rooms have been revamped - They even provide water, and antibacterial wipes to wipe down the equipment. - The community is safe, but if needed...Security is only a phone call away. Great job guys! read more

The staff truly goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is safe and happy. They're genuinely friendly and timely with any and all concerns. Plus, it's a very peaceful and secure complex with all the resources anyone could need. It's a rare gem among many apartments. read more

Theft of property very bad. 2 theft's in 1 year of living here. Maintenance takes its time with repairs. The parking garage door stays broke, making cars very susceptible to vandalism and theft. Parking Garage can use a good power washing also. Doesn't look or smell as if it's been cleaned in years. Water turns brown occasionally. read more

The staff here are amazing! The maintenance staff are friendly and efficient. Martin and a Gabriel are easy to talk to. Richard in the main office is helpful and friendly as well. We have enjoyed living here. The location is great! Near the mall and great school district! read more

Hi there. I've lived here for 5 months. So far I have absolutely no complaints. I really like it here. I feel safe in this neighborhood. The complex is quiet. Every time I've had any type of issue or concern with something in my apartment, the management has promptly fixed it. When I say promptly, I mean they have exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend this place. One downside is that there is no patio or outside area for a child to play. This is not something I've come across with other complexes. Either way though, these apartments deserve a 5 star. read more

Awesome place to live! Absolutely amazing staff and the maintenance crew is the best I have ever worked with!! I can't speak highly enough of these guys! Only reason I left was because of a change in work! read more

The staff is great - Justin, Richard, Martin, Rigo, and everyone else. The property owners and management are NOT. Moving in is easy and the pricing might seem reasonable at first. However, after your lease is up, be ready for about 30% increase in your rent and jaw dropping month-to-month rate. Property owners/management have little interest in retaining or giving good, paying tenants a price break. Once you live there, you will notice that it is a revolving door of tenants moving in and out (ASAP). Finally, kiss your deposit money good-bye after you move in. No matter how well kept you leave your apartment in, management will find a way to leave you with no refund...actually, they'll come back with an itemized utility/water/gas/trash bill for 3 months prior to get additional money from you. read more

Be aware that they can legally raise rent as much as they'd like, even on long-time tenants, by as much as an extra $300 a month or more. But there are great aspects of Eaves Cerritos that may make it worthwhile for renters. Why you should live here: - The front office and maintenance are wonderful and hardworking people. Genaro is professional and will do what he can to look out for his tenants. Martin and his maintenance crew are always on top of service requests, and you even see them working through the weekend! They're also on-call 24/7 for any emergencies. - All-inclusive: Appliances are included and so are swimming pools and a gym. - It's quiet: In the 3 years we have been here, there have been almost no noise complaints. People respect the quiet hours here. Why you should not live here: - Avalon will raise your rent dramatically despite loyalty. Tenants will automatically receive about 4% raise on their rent every renewal. However, the corporation raised ours almost $300 extra a month because we were no longer paying "market price." This is perfectly legal on their part and can be expected. But be prepared when you move in that you can expect your rent to increase every year, no matter what, and at whatever rate Avalon deems fit. Remember, as renters, you have rights, but know that you're at the whim of corporations like Avalon. - Street parking - If you're lucky, you may get an assigned parking. Otherwise, you'll have to fight for street parking with other apartments. It's not as bad as other communities, but with a newly-built condo down the street, the parking situation hasn't improved in the past 3 years. You can opt to pay $50/month for underground garage parking if you absolutely can't stand parking on the street. - Utilities payment is shared: This may not work for you if you're traveling a lot or don't always stay home. Everyone shares the utility payments and it is split based on how many people are in your unit. Regardless if you don't use any of your utilities in a month, you still get billed for it. - Digital payment for washing/drying: Not bad since you don't have to lug around quarters. But sometimes, the payment system is so slow that you sometimes have to wait and swipe multiple times for it to accept your card payment. The upside is that everything is linked digitally so you can monitor your wash/dry via website and get alerts when they're done. - Location! During the holidays, it can be a real pain to get home, especially with traffic flow nearly at a standstill next to the mall and also to the east on Pioneer. But that's a small price to pay to be in a premium location. In summary: The on-site staff are wonderful and can make your stay very comfortable. However, the experience can be soured when dealing with corporate Avalon. But as long as you're realistic about your rental expectations, Eaves Avalon can be a good place to live. Unfortunately for us, we ended up not being financially profitable to Avalon and must move on from this community. read more

Move here for the convenience of stores and freeways but you won't get to enjoy it long! Try living next to a dog with separation anxiety that can and will bark, howl and scratch at the door every time the owner leaves - and I am talking for 8-12 hours a day including weekends and holidays. I have to wear earplugs when I am in my apartment just to do my work. Again move here for the convenience and if you don't work from home or sleep here! read more

I've been here about a little over a year. The management recently changed about 1-2 months ago. Ever since then, this place is like hell. With only a 3 DAY notice, they start a months-long construction all around the units. There's drilling, people yapping, sanding, cutting, banging, sparks flying, paint dripping, dust flying, people shouting, metal clanging, you name it, from 8-5 EVERY SINGLE FUQQING day. I went to management to complain about it because frankly, I work nights sometimes and I need to sleep during the day. The answer from the person at the front office was "We can't do anything about it." This same person told me that my concern will be directed to the manager or whoever is higher up. Obviously I didn't get any reply (which is what I expected). Either my concern was purposely never directed up, or the higher ups don't give a shiet about my concern. Now you may ask, "What about the people who work during the day?" Well, it doesn't matter. What kind of management company gives residents a THREE DAY notice before doing months long construction? If they were gonna do something like this, I can at least plan out my work schedule a little better. It started in August and it's still ongoing. Obviously they don't care about what the residents think about this. Since they can't do anything about it, YOU can. If you are thinking about moving here, think again. Next time they will embark on a major project you will likely also get only a three-day-notice, and of course, they "can't do anything about it" if you don't like it. BY THE WAY, THERE ARE MORE REVIEWS THAT ARE FILTERED BY YELP (for some moronic reason), IF YOU WANT TO SEE EVERYONE'S SENTIMENTS UN-FILTER THESE RESULTS read more

Not a good place to move in, the facilities are old including the inside of the house they never changed the dishwasher for like a hundred years so we never use it (nasty looking dishwasher and kithcen sink).The people at the office always complain that we're slamming the door, but the door itself has problem when you close it causing it to have a loud sound. The neighborhood is nice, you have easy access to the grocery store and restaurants but eaves is just an old apartment facilities that doesn't justify what you pay. read more

I give 5 star for the following reasons: 1) the location- everything is within your reach....mall, restaurants, freeways, good school district, public transportations, offices. 2) great customer service- Carlos, Martin, Sylvia and Genaro are the BEST! They really work hard, always have that ready smile eventhough you know they are already tired. They are very friendly too. 3) amenities vs rate- very rare you get these 2 at the same time. I have seen this apartment nearby the town center, it is way more expensive rate, smaller rooms, very strict policies. While there is this apartment by the auto center, it is cheaper but I challenge everyone to see the place and compare it to Eaves Apartment. I used to have a membership to LA fitness but it is very rare I go to use it because aside from too far and makes me so lazy to go after a night of work, a waste of money, now the fitness center is within the complex. I can go there after 0830 and before 10PM. What a savings. There 3 swimming pools with BBQ grills that is good to use in entertaining friends or just take a sit and relax. I love doing BBQ every Wednesday with my girls. 4) safe environment- you can feel that you are secured in the complex. I have a very (culturally) diverse neighbors and yet I am comfortable. 5) no unwelcomed visitors- I am glad we don't have them in our unit. No termites, cockroaches or even ants. read more

Super expensive, and once I lived there 7 months my opinion changed. There was a water leak from the upstairs apartment which leaked into my downstairs apartment. Water was all over my stuff, including my bed, hallway, tv. All they did was allow me to keep some of my deposit when I moved out. The pool was always freezing, there were ants everywhere. It looks pretty and it's a good location but way overpriced. read more

I moved into Eaves in June and i have to say, its been a pleasant stay. Any request that i need from management, Genaro and Silvia are very adamant to get it done. Martin and Carlos from maintenance are very knowledgeable and thorough about their service. This property is very well maintained. read more

Sunday, September 23, 2018: The apartments are beautiful; I have taken a few pictures of the pool, and found a rare butterfly sitting on a small bush next to the outdoor bar-b-que grill! What a wonderful surprise! From Rosemary Margaret Myers Mrazik Cobb. read more

I have never written a bad review but I am forced to write because of the incidents happening regularly We have been leasing an apartment for the last two and half years. We didn't had any issues earlier but in the last 1 year or so we are seeing lot of issues with maintenance. There was a gas leak in the apartment and the gas was shut down. It took 10 days to be repaired. The whole apartment community had to stay with out cooking for 10 days. Many times the water has been shutdown with out any notice and management will not respond if you call them. Very embarrassing situations faced when guests were at home and water was shutdown with out notice Any maintenance request s are not being addressed properly. Need to follow up Many times. Recently some of the items placed in the common area are getting stolen. When informed the management.they respond by saying that it is common and they cannot do anything about it. Rent here only if you are not bothered about maintenance issues and okay with the inconvenience created. read more

Moved in 04/14, so far so good! Quiet neighbors (everyone seems really nice and friendly, really!), the neighborhood itself is quiet despite being next to Cerritos Mall, and I feel safe with my family travelling nearby. The Eaves apartment system itself is fairly well set up in that I can pay online, schedule maintenance (the maintenance dudes Carlos and Martin are awesome), and getting set up here was fast and easy (thanks Sylvia and Genaro!). Plus a couple of workout areas, a bbq area, on-site laundry and a pool. I feel safe jogging at night also. Honestly for the price we never exepected to get such a good deal in such a nice area. They keep the apperance neat overall, and we always get compliments by people who visit about how nice the place is. We agree! The only cons I'd say would be shared utilities cost(except electrical) and you have to use their appliances. Parking in the non-paid area can get a bit tricky, but compared to Long Beach there is still ample parking! Small price to pay for living here though, we are happy so far! read more

We recently moved out because of the job and wanted to be closer to work but we loved living here. It's a Pretty decent place to live. The office staff and maintenance staff are very friendly. We loved living here. Justin was very helpful when we needed help. They made our move out easy. Thanks eaves Cerritos. read more

Fairly nice place to live! The office and maintenance staff are very friendly and attentive to residential needs... however there is often dog litter around the facility and many trees cause for a lot of leaves and clutter around and in the patios. There is free street parking and I have not once had trouble finding a spot! Only complaint about parking is that there are many trees that drip sap and leaves onto my car that makes it very dirty even if only parked overnight. Residents can be loud, I often hear yelling or loud conversation during late hours. On another note, we have a lot of ant issues. We buy our own traps because when we called maintenance they made a large mess with ant chemicals on our carpet.... however, the leasing office handled the situation very well and compensated us for the damages in a timely manner. That was well appreciated. read more

Just killed a freaking GIANT cockroach in the bathroom. It's almost half size of my hand. Is terrible!!! The place is also infested with ants and fleas. Whenever it rains, there will be hundreds of ants that crawl throughout the bathroom. The office just says this is normal but it is not! Also the wall is so thin that I can hear the next door neighbor talking or playing music. Don't live here! read more

Been living here for over five years now, and the management now is awesome! Great place to live, very quiet, good neighbors and close to the mall. We've looked a around the area this place is the best, clean, well kept and they just put a new debt card system in the laundry room. No more quarters! The maintenance guys Martin and Carlos are real pros and care about getting the job done right. Wouldn't live anywhere else in Cerritos/Artesia area. Good Job Guys, 5 Stars. read more

This is my 2nd review to confirm that this apartment complex is suffering from the pest (ants) issues. I positioned additional pictures.

The apartment is spacious and staff are nice and courteous. Balcony is also big and was covered with trees. I loved the privacy. Except for possum sightings at times i was fairly happy. But one day my boyfriend told me he saw a GIGANTIC cockaroach in my bathroom. I seriously didnt belive him. I saw ants... i means lots of ants and in the summer flies but never a cockaroach. Well, when i was moving out, i saw a GIGANTIC cockaroach dead under the sofa. The thought that i was living with that is aggravating. And the laundry machines are limited and not always working. read more

After living here for nearly one year , here is my review about Eaves Cerritos. Disregard my previous review. The most expensive apartment complex in Cerritos area. The rate is constantly increasing and am paying 3000$ monthly. Worst of all very dirty. When it rains you have to walk in a river , consequently wet shoes when kids go yo school or you go to work . Dog poop in the common area . Old building and they have difficulty maintaining the habitability. We have been more than 4 days without hot water and gas to cook . Management does not care. Do you have to go without bath and buy food outside. Frequently I do not have hot water because am at the end of the complex- the pressure is low. INonetheless they continue to pocket your rent . The maintenance guys are great Keep away . There is lots of better and cheaper apartment nearby After living here for 1 year I give them less than 1 star read more

MAJOR pest control issues with this property. Just uploaded one pic (of ants occupying my kitchen). I will position additional pictures and my learnings / findings after talking to the property manager. In the meantime, check google reviews from previous tenants who expressed their problems with pest. read more

eaves Cerritos - Major PEST problem with the property. Having ant issue since the beginning of the year. The pic is in my kitchen. - Apartments Near Me - Artesia, California

Living at the eaves for 2 years has not been the best experience. Everything looks nice when you go on the tour, but later we realized that they just paint over the problems and don't really fix anything. We have mold growing in our bathroom because of poor air circulation. We try to clean it, but it always comes back because of the bad fan. We have asked for them to fix it, but it never happened. Also, when we couldn't clean all the mold, they came and painted over it. There is also a spider and ant problem that never seems to go away. People smoke pot and smoke cigarettes and it comes through our window, waking us from our sleep. When we let management know, they say that because there isn't enough evidence that anyone in the complex is doing it, they can't do anything about it. Neighbors are loud and yelling out. Management sends an email about it, but thats about it. There was also a gas leak that happened for about 10 days. We were not able to cook for all those days and they tried to compensate for these 10 days by hosting a pizza party for an hour during the weekday when people are still at work. The hot water randomly shuts off and tenants are not notified about this until later in the morning. There were many times when I would wake up to go to work and just stand waiting for the cold water to never turn hot. For the water faucet, the hot and cold water randomly shuts off when I am brushing my teeth or trying to wash my hands in less than 30 seconds. We asked management to come fix it and they said they can't because it is a deeper issue. For the garage parking, there are a good number of instances when the gates are just left open for days. The whole point of parking in the garage is for security and safety. A good amount of my clothes got stained with bleach when I used the washer in the laundry room. If you have allergies, prepare for your allergies to get worse. There is a lot of dust in this facility and you have to vacuum constantly. The one positive about this facility is that the maintenance people are very friendly and try to be as helpful as they can be. If you can find some place else, please find another facility to live at. read more

Place is nice but the rent keeps going up when there are many similar if not better apartments in CERRITOS not Artesia and also Lakewood that are $1500-1800 range. Eaves is about $300 more than what it's worth! They should re-assess there price points. $1400 for a one bedroom and $1750 for a two bedroom should be max for these apartments especially because of location and Comps. I'll rethink my review when the cost goes down. read more

I have stayed in these apartments for 2 years. I will be leaving soon for my job. I have lot of good things to say about these apartments as well as some cons. One good thing I can say is Avalon Bay communities are really very professional and they take very good care of their tenants. At the same time if you have to break the agreement for some valid reasons, there will not be exception, I needed that this year from Jan. I have stay until April and travel a lot. Coming back to apartments Pros: 1. Very well maintained apartments inside out. 2. Outside landscaping and maintenance is really good. 3. Management (Generao, Silviya) and Maintenance(Carlos and Martin) are very prompt people and will always get the work done in timely manner. A+ 4.Issue gets resolved very quickly, sometimes within an hour. 5. Lots of shopping in walking distance. Cerritos Mall, Target, Starbucks etc. 6. Last year they installed new Laundry machines which accepts credit cards. 7. All the work that needs to be done is always well communicated well in advance. 8. Online recurring payment, though there were some glitches early on but now it is working fine for past 1 year. Cons: 1. Price Price Price 2. Price compared to SqFt area offered, in my honest opinion is lot higher. Recently there has been some new tenants (in 2014 year) who just throw trash in the mail box trash can which is totally non hygienic. Management had taken an actions against it after I had complained. But hey some people are inherently not hygienic, can't do anything about it. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, if fact I have. read more

UPDATE: I'm giving this place one extra star than before because the construction is done, and the maintenance staff is very attentive and quick to respond. It is also very convenient to pay for rent/utilities online, and using cards to pay for laundry is very convenient as well. I get to avoid unnecessary visits to the bank just to get rolls of quarters. However, it is a very big headache once the lease ends. I've already renewed once, but they wanted to increase my rent by $130/mo but was able to negotiate to only $50. They don't care if you have lived there one year or 20, they want to increase the rent and don't care what price you came in at. My lease is up in November and I feel that with rents going up across the SoCal area, they will not allow much room for negotiation. This is what happens when dealing with large corporations and getting the explanation that they use a "formula" to determine rent prices. read more

I have been living here for exactly one month now and I am loving it so far. When I first came here to check out the community, the property manager, Genaro, took great care of us and was really true to his words! Everything he said about the apartment was truthful and he is always there to offer you help and assistance. I am so glad I moved to this apartment community especially because of the great location and my unit is super cozy too. I would recommend anyone looking for a relaxed space to call home to definitely check out eaves cerritos. read more

I love living here at eaves Cerritos! Going on 3 years now,and I love the fact that anytime I need service done In my apartment Mr Martin takes care of it the same day, and is super super friendly. Genaro the office manager very helpful and takes good care of us tenants! They both deserve a raise! Thanks Eaves Cerritos.. Hope rent doesn't go up a lot once my lease is up read more

I would highly reccomend these apartments, very professional management, online access for payments, clean enviroment and great prices for location. read more

Hey Just want to let you know that Kannaro , guy in office is amazing really professionals and helped me a lot in moving in the apartment , I was gonna come in apartment after a week and I had my stuff coming to the apartment and he put everything in the apartment and helped me out ,nice community clean and good maintance , hope you guys have great day read more

We've been living here for almost 2 months now and it's been great. Though the rent is a little steep compared to other places, but you pay for the location and convenience. We have a dog so our choices was limited. We did our research, saw the location, and just signed up right away. The staff and maintenance crew here are amazing and fast! If you have any problems, they will do their best to resolve it right away. I'm only giving 4 stars and not 5 because the actual apartment units here are of the older type (so don't expect nice hardwood floors/granite tops/stainless steel appliance/and huge sq ft). Eaves and their crew have definitely done their best with what they were given but for the price, you can probably get something elsewhere with much more updated features. I would give the management and maintenance crew 5 stars though! Also, utilities are shared amongst the other unis in your complex. While it's not a huge deal if you are a regular user but can be annoying if you rarely use the utilities. Oh, and its great that you can pay for utilities/rent all online. All in all, it's an amazing location (you can walk to the mall/promenade/restaurants!), great cozy apartments, quiet, and well kept communal areas. read more

I am writing my follow up review while sitting in the laundry room, watching my clothes so that they do not get stolen. This was the only solution that eaves cerritos offered in response to hearing that a resident was the victim of theft on their property. I asked if they would consider installing security cameras or putting locks on the laundry rooms so that only residents could access them - they said they would do neither of these things. If I am going to have to sit and watch my laundry from now on to prevent theft, I would rather do it in a cheaper apartment complex. I signed a lease with eaves cerritos knowing that their rent is higher than similar properties because I was under the misguided impression that it was a safer community. I will not be renewing my lease here, and anyone considering moving in should definitely take the increasing crime rate in the area into consideration before signing a lease. As an aside, I have always found the maintenance man Martin to be pleasant and helpful. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would ! My husband and I moved in around July of this year and we're out 2 weeks later! This was our first apartment together with our 2 kids and it was such an awful experience. Management had failed to tell us that they were treating our apartment for cockroaches! As soon as we got the keys and walked in as a family into our first apartment I seen a cockroach right on the kitchen counter! Once I pointed it out he said if you see anymore let him know so we continued the walk through he opened the fridge and there was 2 more! He said he will have an Orkin man come down to talk with us about the problem. We had to wait a couple of days and as the days passed we continued to see more some were bigger than others. Finally the Orkin man came he did a treatment and said that he could get rid of them with in a MONTH! All the manager had to say was that the previous people who lived there were traveling in and out of the country and never said anything about the bugs, I quote him, "some people are ok with living with bugs it doesn't bother some people." Well sir I am NOT one of those people! I have children this was our first apartment I never cooked there I spent a lot of money eating out I also spent a lot of money on stuff for our first apartment I could not put any of that stuff away because of the bugs! We were only there to sleep at night and it was only for 2 weeks! Yet they still charged us for the days we were "living there". The only option he gave us was to move into another apartment which more than likely had bugs too because the cockroaches travel from apartment to apartment. The Orkin man he had come lied and got his story confused as they were trying to persuade us to say. I since contacted another Orkin man and asked him about eave Cerritos and right when I said the name he said, "oh yah they have a big infestation we had advised them to do a full fumigation of every single apartment." Of course that's way too pricy for them so they do the bare minimum to try to "control" the infestation. I write this review in hopes that someone looking into these apartments will see it and NOT move in but only if "your one of those people who are bothered by living with tons of cockroaches." You can pay a whole lot less to live with bugs at a motel 6! The manger's name who "helped us oh so much" I believe was Jurado the tall Hispanic guy in the main office. I'm sure he remembers as well and you can ask him his side of the story which he will likely embellish ! read more

Overrated and overpriced if you ask me! I left these chicken coop apartments as soon as my lease was up, they tried raising my rent up by nearly 200 dollars. For the constant noisy door slamming ANNOYING neighbors who decide to come out at midnight and carry loud phone conversations outside your door, not worth it. Some of the neighbors have the audacity to leave their garbage outside the dumpster, they are so lazy to actually make the effort to put the trash in the dumpster that they leave it outside! The staff is good and professional, but it is unfortunate that these apartments are not as they are made out to be, too expensive for the sizes they are offering. Avalon is just another apartment management company taking advantage of the terrible renting and housing crises. Look elsewhere. read more
