We just moved in with our 2 pups from a cross country relocation and my experience so far has been…read moreamazing to say the least. And it is all because of Ashley. From my initial inquiry via phone, to lease signing, to managing my move, to move in day... Ashley has been the most pleasant and helpful property manager ever. She even drove me to the bank the day we got our keys so that I could get a cashier's check to buy my car! And that was on a Saturday when she technically doesn't need to be working on site. She is super responsive and goes above and beyond for the tenants. But she's no pushover either so don't mess with the momma bear. I love chatting with her and she cracks me up. Having Ashley as the main contact with any questions/issues makes me feel like I made the right decision in choosing SW by CLG. And the maintenance team here are so nice! They always say hi when we pass each other and smile at the tenants. 10/10 for this staff so far! The property itself has everything you need. EV chargers in the garage was a plus since we bought ourselves an EV. The rec room is a great perk since I have been using it as an area to work before our furniture arrives. The rooftop has beautiful sweeping views and lots of areas to hang out along with a little dipping pool and lounge chairs. The gym is also well kept and has all the basics you need for a good workout. There are lots of doggies on the property which is a plus for me but something to consider if you are NOT a dog person. We are obsessed with this location. Everything is within reach. I have been to Daiso more times than I can count. The asian food options are endless and there are dessert shops everywhere. This building is in the best part of Sawtelle. And one block away from Sawtelle Blvd there are residential streets so you can take a walk down a quieter area. It's only been a few days here but we are loving every minute!

WARNING: DO NOT LIVE HERE. Terrible management, and mold infested units…read more Living at this property for the past 11 months has such a nightmare. From early on, management failed to be honest about how disruptive and long-term the construction would be, making it nearly impossible to work from home and costing me income and peace of mind. Our balcony was destroyed about a month into our lease, yet we were still charged full rent for something we could no longer use--and it's still not properly restored. Over time, our apartment developed serious mold problems. We found visible mold in bedrooms, closets, on our personal belongings, and even inside an air purifier. Many of our possessions were ruined, and I had to throw away thousands of dollars' worth of personal items. It's been heartbreaking to lose things you've worked hard for, especially when it feels completely preventable. We also raised concerns about potential asbestos exposure during construction, but management never gave clear answers or reassurance. Instead of taking responsibility, they brushed off our health concerns and avoided providing real information. When I asked for proper mold testing and accountability, the property manager (Tina) hung up on me and stopped responding to emails. Trying to get basic answers about our health, safety, and living conditions became exhausting and emotionally overwhelming. Eventually, management agreed to let us end our lease early--but only if we signed an agreement promising not to sue them or talk about what we went through. After months of stress, fear about our health, financial losses, and feeling ignored, that offer felt more like a way to silence us than to make things right. This experience has been awful and the lack of transparency, accountability, and basic respect had made things immensely worse. I would NOT recommend this property to anyone, especially people with health concerns, pets, kids, or anyone who values feeling safe and supported in their home.

The area is super nice, close to the 10 and 405 for commuters and easy access to Santa Monica, Culver City and much of LA. Lots of restaurants, natural spaces and things to do. There are multiple grocery stores in walkable distance if you don't have a car, and an endless amount available if you do, including international markets, trader joes and other chains.

We were leaving our stuff unattended for hours like a laptop, cameras, etc. - nothing has ever been stolen Downside: some weird-looking residents moved in on the 4th floor to the end of our lease sometimes with ripped clothes, one time I saw them arguing in the hall with the guy on the wheelchair.
