From getting my apartment ready before move-in to responding promptly to a few issues that needed attention, everyone has been professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful. A special thank you to Vonnie, the manager, and her team--Al, Javier, and Mario--for going above and beyond to make the experience smooth and welcoming. It's clear that they take pride in providing great service and making residents feel truly at home. Any concerns I've had have been addressed promptly which has made the transition into my new home so much easier. We still have a couple of issues but I am sure Vonnie and her team will handle it in a timely and courteous manner as they have with our whole move. I really appreciate the excellent customer service and positive attitude from the entire team. I'm very happy with my experience so far and look forward to living here!

My neighbors are friendly, management - Vonny and her team are amazing and the location is prime real estate - close to everything including the beach. The property is quiet which is ideal for adult/retiree living. Amenities include a beautiful pool (although always cold), BBQ grill, laundry room, a great room with games, ping pong table, exercise equipment, weights, sofa and chairs for lounging. The complex is well-kept and managed - Vonny does an excellent job. The Al and the maintenance team are attentive and provide a speedy response and repair to any maintenance and/or repairs. I would highly recommend Emerald West to adults/couples/retirees if it meets your needs, a place of peace and good energy. I will miss being here!

The location alone is hard to beat--being so close to the ocean made everyday life feel peaceful and refreshing. What really made the place stand out, though, was the staff.

I always felt comfortable and at home there, which made a huge difference over the course of a full year.

The location is highly secure and conveniently situated just a block from Redondo Torrance Beach,…read moreaccessible with a brief two-minute walk. The property manager, Marylou, is readily available by phone and highly responsive. Her diligent follow-ups and comprehensive information facilitated a timely move into a well-maintained apartment, ensuring all legal documentation was completed promptly. Additionally, she promptly addressed any issues reported within the first week. The property is impeccably clean, tidy, and well-maintained. The property includes covered car parking. However, a couple of drawbacks are the absence of charging points in the apartment's garage, which prevents me from charging my electric vehicle, and the lack of dumbbells in the gym area. These were clearly communicated by Marylou during the site visit. However, it would be greatly appreciated if these amenities could be added in the future. Its part of one of the best school district in LA and a family friendly neighborhood. Its close to various eatery joints and super markets-(Costco, Walmart, VONS, Ralphs) within short driving distance.

Invest the time in your apartment search to look elsewhere! Azure is a great spot to live, albeit…read morewithout any amenities to justify such high rental rates for the area. There is no doorman, package room, pool, roof-deck, gym or any other convenience that one can usually find standard in a similar type of rental community in the Hermosa/Redondo Beach area. Azure's management company, Pan American, is a master of the "bait and switch" sales tactic in which they'll lure you in with rental concessions and then increase your rental rates as soon as your initial lease expires. Their rates are inflated for the market, which is why there are units sitting vacant with little interest from prospective tenants. The rent for my unit increased 12% year-over-year when you factor in the initial rent concession to bait us to move in and the property management company tried to claim that increased rental rates for the renewal are aligned with the local market. If that were true, there wouldn't be vacant units in the building with such high turnover. I offered to keep my rent flat in order to renew my lease, which is still 9% higher than my effective rent during the initial lease and they rejected the proposal. They would rather lose money offering a rental concession to new tenants than keep an existing tenant at full-price. Pan American's corporate greed and senseless business practices are unethical and tacky. Do yourself a favor and pass on this property!

This building changed owners about a year ago and is now professionally managed by Pan American…read moreProperties, Inc. of Tustin, CA. The building does not have an on-site manager, but the manager has been quite responsive when I have reported problems. Without an on-site manager, package delivery services are somewhat questionable. Some packages do get delivered inside the security gate somehow, but some get left outside the gate by the mailboxes. I have chosen to have my packages delivered to The UPS Store less than a mile away. That has proven to be convenient enough for me. The new owners have done significant work on the property since they acquired it. The building has new exterior paint and landscaping. They are in the process of refurbishing the units with new cabinets, appliances, hardwood floors, and vertical blinds. There are sixteen units in the building, eight of which have two bedrooms, and the other eight have one bedroom. The building has a laundromat in the basement. Refurbished units are getting a stacked washer/dryer unit as well. All units come with a garage. Residents of two-bedroom units get their own two-car garage with over-hood storage cabinets. Those in one-bedroom units share a garage. The parking area has a security gate, and the garage doors can be locked as well, if desired. Additional storage space may be available for rent. The building is pet-friendly. First floor units are accessible to disabled people, but the wheelchair-bound may need to install a threshold ramp. There are no outdoor spaces for recreation, nor does the building have any other shared recreational facilities. Natural gas, water, and trash service are included in the rent. Time Warner Cable provides TV, phone, and broadband. Verizon services the area, and their phone and DSL services are available in the building. Only the slowest DSL service is available here. Verizon's FiOS is available in the street, but for some unknown reason, the ownership has chosen to not have it installed in the building. I find this puzzling given the effort they are putting into updating the property. My understanding is that Verizon will install it in the building for free, if allowed. My unit is quite comfortable. The living room in the two-bedroom units is quite large. The unit is heated by a single double-sided gas wall unit between the living room and the hall to the bedrooms. This means that the bedroom doors must be left open in the winter to allow heated air to flow into them. The neighbors in the building are all very nice. Unfortunately, more than half of them have moved out or are preparing to since I moved in. Apparently, after the building changed hands, the rent for the current residents was increased substantially to the extent that several of them have been forced to move out. The situation with the rents for the current residents who were here before the building changed hands is so extreme that it has me wondering how fairly rents will be handled from year to year. The building is less than half a mile from South Bay Galleria. That puts most shopping and several dining options within walking distance. Bus service is also convenient. Stops are located at the corner of Artesia and Inglewood a short block away, and the nearby mall is serviced by several lines; so public transportation is quite easy from this location.

Moving was definitely not my choice (long story) however it is a sad but good change. Dianne is AMAZING and such a friendly property manager. When she was out, Sandy would sometimes be there to take over and she is wonderful too. You hear light traffic noise during rush hour (mine was courtyard facing) and emergency sirens often because it is a major route to company of Mary on Torrance Blvd. I have so many good memories and basically spent my entire 20's here. Every complex has its pros and cons, and maybe because this was my first apartment I am biased. Moonraker was so good to me and I am grateful to have lived there for as long as I did.

However, communication about maintenance schedules and water shutoffs could have been more consistent. We usually didn't get emails nor texts which would have been more appreciated. She does yearly inspections too. We loved that we had an online portal for payments. The apartment itself was a good sized one bedroom. We had our own heater which was inside the walk in closet. We had one parking spot for us with more storage in the parking spot. Downside of this apartment is that they are not double paned windows so dust and noise are inevitable. You hear everything. Walls are very thin. We were on the first floor and we could hear everything. There are two rooms of laundry and uses Bluetooth for payment which was amazing. However, only a few work. I believe the residents have reported it several times but no action was done. The residents of the complex were mostly couples and single residents. Only a few people had families. With that said, I think this apartment complex is more appropriate for couples and singles who are looking for a more quiet and intimate space. I wouldn't say this place is family friendly.

BEWARE!!!!! ZERO SECURITY AND THEFT! I have a bicycle that…read morejust got stolen from the parking lot and there are no cameras or security of any kind. The whole place is gated, and my bike is not visible to anyone outside the complex, so it must mean that someone in the complex stole it. They cut my lock off and took my bike. The landlady doesn't care because she just puts signs saying she is not responsible and won't put up security cameras. She said whatever happens is your responsibility. I have lived in about 10 apartments in my lifetime and I have NEVER experienced anything like this before. My bike wasn't even worth that much so it really shows what type of low life people live here that would just steal their neighbors bike to sell. And having the landlady onsite living here is worthless since she won't do anything. This place is the most insecure place I've ever lived. Also, it's winter now and the windows are so thin, you can hear all the traffic and fire trucks pass every night. And the temperature in the apartment is just as cold as the temperature outside because there is zero insulation. This is the worst place I've ever lived and cost too much for the location. The laundry card machine is constantly broken so you can't do your laundry unless you put $100+ in your card assuming you want to live at this dump for that long because you won't get that money back if you don't use it all.
