My husband and I have been living in the Rochester Apartments for almost a year. We were among the unfortunate many to have lost our home in the Palisades fires. We felt so fortunate to be able to rent within the Rockdyne "family" of buildings. Every aspect of our experience was exceptional: from our initial leasing with Elisa, to their flexibility with moving in, to their immediate responsiveness if something in the apartment needed fixing, etc. They clearly take pride in their properties, because the inside of the building was always immaculate. Thank you to Debra and the whole Rockdyne team for making our stay so positive, especially after such a traumatic life experience! I couldn't recommend both the building and their management more highly! read more

Elisa Yashar displayed abhorrent behaviour during the course of my lease and move-out process. Do not rent with a company that deems an individual like this to be an appropriate representative of their properties. She will reduce any communication over any issue to a series of personal attacks. I don't know who chose to hire this short-tempered gremlin, but her self-loathing WILL be projected at anyone and everyone...be warned. read more

This review has taken me almost 9 years to write but I'm finally doing it. From 2003 to 2014 I lived in one of Debbie and Roger's buildings. I have since lived in another building that has had an insane revolving door of horrible management companies. I cannot express how much I miss my days of living in a building that had owners that actually cared about their tenants. Thank you Debbie and Roger for being so wonderful to me all those years. I will never forget it. read more

In a few days I am moving out after 10 wonderful years at 860 s. Wooster st. I highly recommend the management company, Rockdyne. Debbi is especially kind. I will miss the quiet street, the trees, the balcony, the view. Management was responsive to maintenance requests, and the building was kept very clean and in good repair. Thank you for ten wonderful years! read more

Wowww I am in COMPLETE disbelief with how absolutely awful my experience speaking with Elisa Yashar was just now. She is EXTREMELY rude. She interrupted me every single time I tried to speak to the girl, to tell her what I was looking for in a new home. I told her I found a listing on Trulia (1059 S Bedford), which is how I got her information. I told her I submitted a request through Trulia yesterday, and that I never heard back. She proceeded to tell me they don't list on Trulia... curious. Considering that's how I got her number. I hit the "call" button, and it led me right to her, in which she was automatically extremely rude, as if I was interrupting her day. When she continued to "ask" me what I was looking for, while I was trying to tell her what I was looking for, she told me what I saw in the pictures (High ceilings) was not for lease, so basically, the ad on trulia is a lie. When I asked her to stop interrupting me, so that I can let her know what I'm looking for, she told me "I don't think this is going to work out". No, obviously not, as I would HATE to have to deal with a btch as a manager. This girl is incapable of listening and instead cuts you off in a VERY rude way, and it blows my mind there are any good reviews on this page. It saddens me that after reading on the ad that this company was all about "great management" and whatever other nonsense, that these are the results I ended up with. I've been looking for a 2br/2ba for around $3-3.2k and didn't have issues with sone other two property managers (different companies) who were happy to show me what they had to offer. I'm just repulsed by this girl's attitude. NOPE. There are SEVERAL other condos in the area that I'm sure would be delighted to take my money. read more

My wife and I were having a hell of a time finding our first apartment in the West LA/Palms area. It seemed that all of the places we viewed (literally dozens) were disgusting, or tiny, or completely lacking in amenities, and most of the property managers left a bad-to-horrible impression. Until we found a place on Keystone that was managed by Rockdyne. We met up with Marianne to view the apartment, and were instantly excited about the recent tasteful renovations - hardwood flooring, granite countertops, new bathroom appliances. The apartment seemed to fit our needs and was priced in line with the area. It came down to choosing between Rockdyne's apartment on Keystone or another similar one a few blocks away, that was managed by another company. The biggest factor in our decision was the impression we got about Rockdyne, and after a year of dealing with them, we are still very happy. Marianne came back again after-hours on a Friday evening to show us the apartment a second time. Having just moved back to the US from overseas, I didn't have any recent credit history, but Rockdyne suggested getting a co-signer and worked with us to get us in. They were very flexible about the move-in date, even giving us an additional 5 days before the lease began to move our stuff in! They were very courteous and professional, answering all our questions patiently and throroughly. It was apparent that they communicate well within the company when we called their office immediately after the first showing, and someone we hadn't met knew about us by name and had answers for all the questions we were about to ask. I don't recall all of their names, but I have mainly dealt with Elisa, who has always been professional and kind. If I remember correctly, Rockdyne manages about a half-dozen apartment buildings in the Palms/Beverly Hills/Brentwood area. They definitely offer a better customer service experience than the larger property management companies. They don't send out a bunch of unnecessary letters or notices - I think we've only received 6 or 7 over the course of the year, and they've always been about maintenance items or other relevant information. They respond promptly whether we contact them over the phone or by email. During our lease, they intitiated an optional online rental payment system - it's a little clunky, but they were very gracious in accommodating us the first time around when the system's delay would have otherwise resulted in a late rent payment. We've had a normal amount of maintenance needs over the course of the year, and their maintenance people have always been professional and courteous. We had a slight miscommunication at one point about them coming around, but it was understandable and they offered a sincere apology afterward. They've always asked permission to enter and have responded promptly to our requests, after-hours or not. Now that we are moving to another city, we are sad to be leaving Rockdyne behind. If we were sticking around and wanted to change apartments, we would definitely stay either in the building we were already in or waited for another Rockdyne property to open up. read more

Without a doubt the BEST renting experience of my life. Having rented at many different places, I can honestly say that Rockdyne, Debby and Roger and their entire team are simply the best in the business. I've been renting from them for 7 years now, and every Maintenence issue, neighbor issue, or building issue is dealt with in 24 hours. They honestly treat me more like family then a tenant. Many people in my building have been there 5+ years, which goes to show Rockdyne treats their tenants with absolute respect and amazing service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! read more

My wife and I moved to LA two years. We rented with rockdyne for the last two years. Unfortunately, we just learned that they steal your security deposit from you to make the apartment more appealing for the next victim. If you decide to rent with them, please remember that they will steal your security deposit. They assume that most people won't have the resources to take them to court. read more

Lived at the Urbanpolitan on Ogden (cool building and great location), 2015-2016; Rockdyne acquired and took over mgmt. (from Moss and Co, which is a solid group!) shortly into my lease. All the usual concerns (maintenance requests, etc.) were fine, but the big issues were around the move-out charges: - Kept much of my deposit, citing the need to re-paint (with a new color!) due to excessive wall damage...even though I had pictures showing otherwise, and no issues had been identified during the move-out inspection. - Double-charged for last month of utilities; still no refund after I pointed out the error. - Neglected to send a pro-rated refund for my last month, until I inquired about it weeks later. I might as well also mention that when they took over from Moss, Rockdyne discontinued two amenities that had been key selling points for me: Virtual concierge service, and Business center (they retained this space for their own use). They were actually pretty rude about not honoring these obligations, dismissing or even lashing out against my concerns. While it wasn't worth going the small claims court route, I at least wanted to put this story out there for my own peace of mind. read more

I've been living in one of their buildings for more than two years and have never had any single bad experience with them. My unit was fully renovated and everything was completely new when i moved in. Let me break down what they've done since the first day i signed the contract. - One of my neighbors who i share wall with kept pointing to my unit and complaining we made so much noise. It's a thin wall and we clearly could hear what's going on the other side of wall but we never complained cos we knew we lived in apartment. Rockdyne sent someone to fix and layer the wall in order to solve this issue. - Problem with water heater, they sent someone to fix it the next day after telling them about this. Even though when we had the same problem during holiday last year, they tried to accommodate us to get it fixed. - They just remodeled our garden to be more beautiful and let me put my gas grill (thanks to the owner of the building). - Recently my AC in the bedroom did not work properly, they sent someone to check it and will replace it with new AC soon. For all of these above, thanks to Elisa, Brandy and Chris plus the latino guy who professionally do a great job. By the way it's clearly stated in the contract about deposit which will be cut for some portion to fix the damage including painting the wall if you move out after one, two or three year term. I guess most apartments have this kind of rules. read more

The apartment and maintenance was acceptable and the people in the office were nice. I would be careful with their move-out practices and overcharging for damage that was not there. Even with video proof (I keep videos of every inch of apartments upon move-in and move-out) they refused to return the rest of my deposit. Be weary. read more

After many years and many apartments in Los Angeles I finally found one that was perfect. Debbie and Roger, the owners, not only provide top notch rentals, but are two of the warmest and most efficient people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. The building I lived in was always kept very clean and repairs were made quickly. I was highly impressed and appreciative of Chris Murphy, who managed all communication and always with the utmost professionalism. He is also a genuinely sweet man. The only reason I left was my work took me out of California, but makes me smile that my last home here was the best. read more

I lived at Rockdyne's 805 S Wooster for 2 1/2 years and I cannot say enough great things about this management company. The staff is incredible professional, efficient and responsive, and the buildings are kept in tip-top shape. This isn't my first rodeo - I've been renting for many years, and I will say that Rockdyne is exactly the type of landlord you want if you are interested in living in a nice, well-kept, professionally managed building. read more

My wife and I lived at 805 S Wooster St, for over 9 years. And when Rockdyne took over the building it was the best experience we've had as renters in a long time. If you are looking for caring, courteous and outstanding service, you'll get it with Rockdyne management. They are responsive to your needs, the building is always clean and well maintained. We would definitely be glad to rent from Rockdyne Enterprises in the future. read more

Leasing experience has been fantastic thus far. Most importantly, they have serviced most of the maintainence requests within 24 hours!

Rockdyne Propertes in West LA is a wonderful small apt. management co. I am a single woman & moved to the area 3 yrs. ago & leased an apt. from them. The team returned my emails/calls immediately. Any problems were taken care of within 24 hrs. or started on. I felt secure & cared for in their environments. 5 stars to the mgmt. team at Rockdyne! read more

If you are looking for an apartment look no further than Rockdyne Ent.!! I love my place ! It is a modern building with all my four walls buffeted by halways!! so it feels more like a quiet house rather than a noisy apartment. It's maintained properly hallways are clean, smell great, and the kicker is the people that work for the company! To see the owners is to meet the people that work there. They are courtious, friendly and PROFESIONAL ! They treat you more like a neighbor rather than a renter. Go Rockdyne!! read more

I am a current resident of 2 years in the beautiful Urbanpolitan Community, one of Rockdyne's buildings along Museum Row in the Miracle Mile area of Mid Wilshire. I have always been a homeowner so this is my first time renting in a multiple family community. That being said, I hope to always make this my home as I have been treated like family by the entire team at Rockdyne. Debbi and Roger are gracious, caring and very welcoming. They take exceptional care of their property which is only 3 years old. Their property management team of Elisa, Brandi and Brandon are always available, courteous and professional to answer any questions or concerns that I may have. The Maintenance team which is smoothly managed by Chris always make me feel like a priority even with the simplest tasks. Edite is available all week in the leasing office to answer any questions, offer assistance with the complimentary executive Concierge service and she always keeps a fresh supply of Fruit, water and coffee for residents to stop by for a chat and day break. Praxis is at the building 6 days a week to make sure that everything is clean and sparkling as well as a bi weekly porter, Miguel who keeps the outdoor shared BBQ's and Fireplaces clean and maintained. The landscaping crew is on site twice weekly taking great care of the indigenous and drought tolerant plantings throughout. We have wonderful common spaces for gathering friends and family such as outdoor BBQ and dining, two outdoor fireplaces, long chairs for catching LA sunshine as well as a spacious lobby area with a great cross breeze. There is also a large interior gathering space with a gourmet kitchen and two huge screen tv's. The Dog runs and do it yourself Doggie Spa are yet another bonus as is the secure bike locker and repair center in the gated parking garage. Urbanpolitan is home but it feels like so much more. When I walk through the air conditioned building with the soothing music playing in the background I feel like I am staying in a boutique hotel. read more

A first-rate operation! My elderly mother has lived in their building for over 2 decades after they took over management. Debbi and Roger are the most compassionate people and have have taken care of all of her needs and maintenance issues. The building is always spotless and well maintained. The office staff are efficient and very friendly. Couldn't ask for better landlords! read more
