    Seen lots of changes to this complex. Been here since 1989. Seen lots of Managers and Assistant Managers come and go. Cassandra McLean is the current and the most sociable Assistant Property Manager I've met and Seen more times then the past ones. She listened to the needs I requested and git them done quick before I could send a maintenance request form.

    Broken base underneath kitchen sink

    If I could give a ZERO review I would! I should have never came back for a second tour and signed a lease. All the reviews you see on El Cordova is true! 1. Maintenance comes in your apartment without notifying you, leaves the apartment a complete mess, leaving you to clean up after them 2. My move in was a disaster! I work in property management & to see how filthy the apartment was, I was disgusted. Carpets not cleaned (I had to reach out to a vendor myself to have it cleaned), dishwasher and oven still dirty, the tub was like a mud bath happened in it daily, counter tops were dirty. Living through Covid how could management think this was safe and healthy for a new resident 3. Cable box was outdated and not compatible with newer TVs. Told management and Denise said "well you'll have to go to Spectrum or ATT" luckily April in the leasing office saw the error on my TV and called Dish network 4. Kitchen Sink was rusted and dirty, and I told Denise and she said they don't clean that. REALLY?! How can you move someone in and say that! There is more to complain about. They made me move in earlier than what I originally signed the lease for & the apartment was not ready! Going on a month and I am still trying to settle in. It's sad that the apartment I'm in doesn't not feel very welcoming or feel like home.

    Moved in last July. Nice apartment, spacious rooms, good community with a nice pool. My mother and I were enjoying our stay. We had to relocate for 6 weeks so they could do construction and paint the outside of our building. When we moved back into the apartment, there was mouse droppings everywhere... in the bathroom, in the bedrooms, in the closet. Keep in mind, we had no mice issues while we were actually staying in the apartment. After snapping some pics, vaccuuming, and cleaning the entire place, I went to my closet and saw that the mice had chewed up FOUR of my suit jackets. I instantly took those jackets with me to the office to speak to management. An assistant met with me, took pics of the jackets, and ordered mice traps to be put in our apartment. She completely acknowldged the mice issue and told me to report it to my renters insurance company. I did that but animal damage was not covered in my insurance plan. So now what? I brought the jackets back and spoke to the head manager and he wouldn't budge. So let me summarize... my mother and I get relocated, come back to mouse poop all over the place and around $8000 worth of damaged wool suit jackets, and we don't compensated at all in any way. No compromise when the whole situation was completely out of our control. Even then I tried to take the loss in stride and live out the rest of my lease peacefully. Well, the mice never left. I would be woken up every couple of nights to sounds of them scratching and moving through pipes or wherever they were. It was disgusting. A week later, we get notice that they're going to raise the rent from $2015 a month to $2300. Right away we knew we were moving out. My mentality was to get the deposit back and move on. I did the deposit walk through and everything went well. "You left the place in really good condition." I had already vaccuumed and swept up all the newest mouse droppings. Out of the $1,000 I deposited, I received a check back today for $283. Now I'm all the way done. All I needed was my deposit back and I wouldn't have even taken the time to expose the ridiculousness of this whole experience. If anyone wants to live in a 2 Bed / 2 Bath / mice included, check out El Cordova. Otherwise, stay away.

Other amenities include: two laundry room facilities, two playgrounds, two BBQ grills, a courtyard furnished with tables and chairs, a basketball court, a recreation room with a full kitchen, a lobby, a computer lab, a senior lounge, and an on-site management/maintenance staff. All of the units include wall to wall carpet, linoleum floors, blinds, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, patios/balconies, central heating and air conditioning and a ceiling fan in the dining area.

Some of the activities offered residents include: holiday potlucks, monthly birthday parties, homework club, arts classes, movie night, bingo, resident meetings, and organized trips. I've been living here for a few years and LOVE IT!!! The complex is really taken care!!! It's like living in a resort of!!! The managers are really great....they take the time to get to know you and you can stop in the office for anything!!! Sometime I just go to say hello. When every I have a problem with my unit the in-house maintenance will come up and fix what ever the problem is right away and if they can fix it they will get someone from the outside who can. I can't say enough good things about this complex and it's staff!!!!

I was actually looking forward to see this community since it had really good yelp reviews. The area for this place is great since this part of Carson is gradually developing and undergoing construction (I guess it can be pros/cons). The city center is clearly investing/pouring some money into this part of Carson all the way to Del Amo Shopping Mall! I'm looking forward to see "New" Carson once new apartments are all settled in.

    would strongly advise anyone considering this apartment to think twice…read more The exterior walls are covered in mold, which already gives you a sense of how poorly the property is maintained. Every Saturday morning -- without fail -- the landscaping crew shows up early, so forget about getting any rest on your weekend. When my credit card was stolen in the mail room, I asked management to check the security cameras. They said they would look into it... and then nothing. No follow-up, no update, just complete silence. The building quality is terrible. You can hear everything. My upstairs neighbor walks around in the middle of the night smoking marijuana, and the smell and noise come straight through the ceiling. It's impossible to sleep. If you watch my video, you'll hear the level of coughing this causes -- imagine dealing with that all night. Overall, this place feels neglected, poorly built, and completely lacking in responsive management.

    Would not recommend this place to anyone. I currently live here and my place has been flooded TWICE…read moreby the kitchen sink while I'm not home. I've had to replace my kitchen mat, bathroom mat and a few items under my sink. The flooding has happened while i'm not home and i come home to a big mess and a terrible smell.

I am upset because now my apartment smells terrible and i have a baby who lives here and now has to smell and HEAR the loud noises from the machines they use.

    Harbor Gateway

    Lived here for 3 years, had to relocate and miss it already! We looked at many apartments in the…read moreSouth Bay and Seacrest by far has the perfect combination of everything! They are newer apartments (built in 2018) and the grounds are kept up so well they still look new. The 2 bd 2 ba unit we had was a cozy type of modern, with the most atypical perfect layout. Ample storage, yet I loved that I can stand in the middle of either the kitchen or walk in closet and reach anything within half a step lol. Plus a washer/dryer tucked away in the patio is brilliant! Parking was a bit of an issue due to my having several motorcycles, but Lumi (owner) thoughtfully switched my spaces and worked out great. There's a maintenance crew on site and any issues (minor) were resolved never later than the next morning in my experience. They work quickly and efficiently, and they're quite nice. The amenities are AWESOME... A beautiful large pool area with cabanas and jacuzzi, full gym(s) which are clean and not packed with bodies, relaxing clubhouse and sitting areas, rooftop BBQ area with an awesome view and a secure package room. I never had any problems with stolen packages or mail. Neighbors are pretty considerate and friends are easily made here, especially during the annual Christmas party which is so intimate, cute and casual. They have snacks, crafts, and games where you can win prizes! The neighborhood itself isn't so bad. Any security breaches we had were addressed and since hadn't had any issues. There's alot of great restaurants nearby and coffee is literally in your front yard! Lumi is a pleasure to work with and will extend herself as much as possible to make sure her tenants are happy. She truly thrives off looking for ways to improve, and is an intelligent woman of grace and good business practice. Pretty much the landlord you want to have! I also think the rent is about right, given the going rate. In my honest opinion get what you pay for in this instance. Seacrest for the win!

    Prior to following my wife and moving out of LA, I had lived at Seacrest for nearly 2 years…read more Overall would give 4.5 stars (no apartment is perfect in my experience) but probably the best apartment I've lived at given location and pricing. First a little bit of context. I grew up in/near Palos Verdes and had hopped between cities and states before finally coming back to the South Bay. During out apartment hunting, we really only wanted 2 amenities: a personal washer/dryer and A/C. You'll quickly learn that's a tall order in the South Bay (especially the A/C, since Torrance is near the beach) but Seacrest actually had both. It was the height of the COVID pandemic at that time and apartment prices were dirt cheap, so we locked in our 2 bed 2 bath (floor plan C I think?). In general, Seacrest consists of two apartment complexes. Floors 1-2 contain covered parking while floors 3-6 are the actual apartments. Each apartment complex has 2 elevators and the community is gated. Let's start with the negatives (there aren't a lot). Even though you're in Torrance, the apartment shoulders against a few warehouses located in the back. Depending on where your apartment is located, you can hear workers and forklifts buzzing back and forth during the day. At night, you'll periodically hear this loud bang which to this day I still don't know was due to local industrial machinery or gunfire from "straight outta" Carson. Seacrest isn't located in a sketch area, but just know you are near the border of Torrance. Also, when we first moved in there was a lot of package stealing going on, although we never experienced this personally. I think this has gotten better over time. Finally, parking in the parking garage is unfortunately tandem, not separate. With that aside, the apartments are great. A lot of the tenants are working professionals or young families with toddlers trying to grow their roots in Torrance. We never had those annoying neighbors that liked to crank their bass at night...instead it was more like cranky babies who couldn't go back to sleep. Even though there are 2 apartment complexes, they have their own amenities. Each has a separate pool, jacuzzi, gym, balcony/grill, basketball court, and clubhouse, so you don't need to walk far. The gym itself is pretty decent and even contains a stretch/yoga room with hardwood floors and mirrors. Lumi is a responsive manager and answered all of our questions and concerns that popped up during our time living there. Was super happy too about getting pretty much all of our security deposit back after talking with her during our move out. And last but not least, living in Seacrest means you're living in Torrance! Torrance is a happy compromise between not living in isolated, overpriced PV but also not living in somewhat sketchy Carson (sorry Carson, I do love my Filipino food though). Seacrest is on a major street called Sepulveda, meaning you're 5 minutes from the 110 freeway or 15 minutes from Redondo Beach, the pier, and the strand (basically a long bike path on the shoreline that connects Redondo Beach all the way up to Santa Monica). You're nearby the Del Amo mall, which was recently remodeled and used to be the largest mall in America until the 1970s. You're a short drive to Long Beach, home to the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Queen Mary, and the Long Beach Grand Prix. DTLA is 30 minutes away (albeit on a good day with absolutely no traffic), but the parks and beaches in PV are great if you want to escape the city. I also can't ignore the food scene. This is Yelp after all. Some of my favorites include: - Jus' Poke: Hawaiian poke place in Redondo - Coco Ichibanya: Japanese curry chain located in Torrance (RIP Curry House) - Handel's Ice Cream: best ice cream in the South Bay - Back Home in Lahaina: Hawaiian food in Carson - Nick's on 2nd: American food in Long Beach, but they have one in Manhattan Beach as well - Mitsuwa Market: Japanese market in Torrance with an awesome food court inside (Tokyo Central market in Gardena is also great) - Silog: local Filipino joint about a 5 minute walk from Seacrest So with the exception of some noise issues, Seacrest is overall a great choice if you're looking to getting settled in the South Bay. Just make sure to do your shopping with rent prices beforehand, as my experience was different during the pandemic.
