I have lived in many apartments all over Los Angeles, usually jumping from one place to another…read moreeach year. Barrington Avenue has been one of the best rental experiences so far. My partner and I lived here for a little over a year but I would have happily stayed longer. I'll start with the cons, because there aren't many! * The walls are a little thin, so you may be able to hear people in the hallways or next door. You'll be hard pressed to find an apartment in LA that doesn't have some noise leakage though, that's just part of city living. Overall, the noise very rarely bothered us EXCEPT..... We lived next to 3 young women and had issues after asking them to keep their noise level down late at night a couple times. I'm talking like 2AM on a weekday. Unfortunately they didn't take kindly to this and got very hostile - from slamming the door in our face, cursing at us through the walls, turning up the noise, and banging on our door randomly throughout the next few weeks in some form of bizarre ding-dong-ditch harassment. They eventually moved out though, and the other residents I've interacted with have all been friendly and polite. I'm only docking a star on an otherwise 5-star living experience here due to the neighbor situation, but no matter where you live, you're rolling the dice on the people around you, so it's not _really_ any fault of the complex. * We lived in a north facing unit which got very little natural light due to the building next door. We often had to keep our lights on all day. (This might not be an issue for some people.) Now to the pros: * The property manager, Frank, lives in the complex so he understands what life is like for residents here! He's constantly improving the place and has been very responsive. In the last year, he's upgraded the bathrooms to use water saving faucets/showerheads, updated the intercom system, done roof and electrical maintenance, and probably more that I'm forgetting! It's great that the building and units are well taken care of. I also appreciated that Frank took issues seriously - such as the aforementioned neighbors. He did his best to remedy the situation and even suggested pursuing legal action when their harassment began escalating. It's heartening to see a property manager who cares about the well-being of the residents. He could have easily brushed us off or refused to get involved. * There's an Amazon locker, which is my favorite amenity. It's so convenient and gives me peace of mind whenever packages are delivered. * The complex is conveniently situated near Whole Foods and plenty of restaurants. I will miss being able to just walk down the block to get groceries and lunch! The area is very safe and clean. * The gym is good for the size of the complex. There are weights and several machines. Perhaps it's because of covid but I've never encountered anyone else at the gym when I've gone. There's also a pool but I've never used it. * Parking is gated. Laundry is in the garage and I've never had an issue with machines being taken. There's also an app you can use to pay which saves you from having to keep tons of quarters lying around! Overall, this is a really great place to live. It's telling that there's no reviews at all on the page yet - people often only write reviews about apartments when they have a bad experience or when management pressures people to leave good reviews. (So, you know mine is genuine haha!) I will definitely miss living here! Another big thank you to Frank for making our experience here great and for all he's done.

TLDR: Pros - LOCATION, tenants; Cons - location, REPORTS OF MOLD IN BUILDING. MOLD NOT REMEDIATED…read moreaccording to California Department of Public Health guidelines - LOTS OF PAINT used to mask problem areas and cover visible mold, signs of water damage et al. Key Points: The Good: Location - close to everything you need and not a far drive from anything you may want, cool Residents, and Resident parking available. The Bad: Location - close to 405 freeway and freeway "activity", street parking (for guest) is scarce to non-existent during most hours, no elevator or ramp access to unit(s) - MAY BE wheelchair accessible but DEFINITELY NOT wheelchair friendly, every blue moon - package(s) disappear, bicycle(s) disappear, washer/dryer issues, excessive trash on property, lights completely out on stairways and entries/exits, cars burning rubber and/or doing donuts, water gets shut-off absent warning due to serious plumbing issues, there have been reports of mold in building since 2014 - Landlord does not remediate the mold according to California Department of Public Health guidelines; they paint over visible mold and/or water damage (at best). The Ugly: (Depending on your unit) - Constant plumbing issues, waterproofing issues leading to leaks and/or visible black mold, termite issues, several code violations, unpermitted and/or not up to code water heater installations, malfunctioning smoke alarms/carbon monoxide detectors or lack thereof, poor response by Landlord (to put it lightly) with almost always a lack of effective corrective action unless prompted by several complaints filed with the city or worse. Also worth noting: Property is located two blocks away from the community liquor store and across the street from housing projects that are allegedly the stomping grounds of a local street gang. Landlord has a track record of not engaging in corrective action regarding building conditions that endanger the health and safety of residents; they use Property Managers as scapegoats, they bring in a new one about every two years until they can dump the property on a new owner. Property is actively listed for sale, listing date 02/05/2025, MLS# 25495147 (per Redfin). BEFORE SIGNING A LEASE, consider: A. Submitting public records request to Los Angeles Housing Department as well as Department of Public Health to see if your unit has a history of code violations, mold, termites, etc. There are records reporting mold in building dating back to 2014 and as current as 2023. B. Viewing YELP reviews pertaining to management company Trion. C. Hiring a Certified Master Inspector to come out and inspect the unit for you (if you plan to stay more than one year or have pets, small children, or someone elderly living in unit). D. Keeping everything in writing and take lots of pictures/screenshots.

We had a great experience living at 401 S Barrington. Stephan and Rosemary, the building managers,…read morewere always kind, friendly, and incredibly responsive whenever we had questions or requests. Shoutout as well to Javier, who was always a huge help whenever there was something we couldn't fix ourselves. We lived there with our dog and absolutely loved having easy access to the dog park, along with everything San Vicente has to offer. The location was also perfect for quick access to the 405. One thing we really appreciated was the mix of residents, young families, college students, and young professionals, which gave the building a community feel. Some tenants were especially friendly and social, while others kept more to themselves, which was a nice balance. It was also great being in a pet-friendly building with other dogs and cats around. The walkability of the neighborhood was a huge draw for us as well. We're very thankful for our time there (just shy of 3 years) and have a lot of great memories from living in the building.

The value for the space and safety is easily the best in the neighborhood. Can't beat the location either. 15 minutes from UCLA, 15 minutes from the beach and Santa Monica, walking distance to Starbucks, La La Land, Whole Food San Vicente shops & restaurants, etc. All of the neighbors were quiet and respectful - a mix of young families, working professionals, and retired folks. Covered and gated parking is a huge plus. Living next door to the park was such a great convenience for our dog and child. We were initially worried about the noise from having a unit immediately next to a tennis court, but we honestly could rarely even hear anything. Rosemary and Stephan were great landlords and Javier took care of any maintenance requirements very quickly. The team gets to know the tenants and really puts a personal touch on things, as opposed to the large corporate apartment complexes. I highly recommend checking out Brentwood by the Park as a potential place to live.

Though COVID obviously made things more of a challenge, Centrepointe handled everything well and was kind enough to cut everyone's rent a little (presumably to make up for the pool and gym being closed). Prior to COVID and aside from a couple initial requests when moving in, maintenance was always quick to show up when there was an issue. Adam at the front is awesome. There was a bit of turnover among other employees, but everyone at the front was nice generally. This place has great amenities and is a decent price for the area, certainly more worth it than the smaller, more expensive new complexes popping up nearby. Couple minor issues, not deal breakers obviously but I'll mention them to be thorough. I thought the deductions from our security deposit were too much ($100 per room (not just bedrooms) for cleaning, $100 to replace blinds with normal wear and tear, which I got them to take off), but they certainly didn't try to screw us over like some complexes. Plus, if you're staying a couple years, it isn't a big deal. Also, the track light bulbs go out very often, which is an annoyance (but, like I said, maintenance was prompt). Also, like all landlords in tenant- and lawsuit-friendly CA, Centrepointe's hands are tied when it comes to, say, rude tenants hogging the gym equipment who will pull the "racist" card and call the cops (and lie about being assaulted) if you complain about her to management (seriously). Just the luck of the draw I guess, but it's a shame landlords (even ones with larger management companies like Centrepointe) don't feel confident in standing up to bullying, entitled tenants because of how costly it is to kick them out.

My husband and I would have loved to stay--our five years there were truly great. The management team is exceptional--always friendly, responsive, and helpful. They're incredibly accessible by phone, email, or in person, and the office being open seven days a week was a huge plus. The maintenance team is also top-notch--quick to respond and often able to resolve issues the same day, even on weekends. Pool and jacuzzi are always clean and was a great amenity. Management is always making improvements to the community, which made CentrePointe a great place to live. It's definitely a place we'll miss!

He cares about the apartments and tries his best! As usual, there are issues with any apartments, but we've dealt with so many terrible NYC apartments, this was actually really a pleasant place. We've had an issue we were uncomfortable with (especially during this pandemic) and he addressed them and sent an email out to the whole apartment building. So they really care! Good people! Maintenance comes super quick and fixes things for you as soon as they can. Our Microwave door handle broke and they came in to give us a new microwave. I have to say maintenance here is pretty great. We also chose this place to the proximity to the beach. It's really close. So during summer we'd just walk down to the beach when parking was super full. It's nice. My husband would do his jogging down the beach easily. Apartments come with AC! Which is pretty rare I've noticed first coming to LA to look at apartments. Recommend!!
