I can't imagine living anywhere else in LA. I've lived here over a year (most residents have been…read morehere longer! Many 10+ years). People stay so long because the apartment, location, and management are great.
Apartment: The outside building itself is not modern, the elevators are nothing special, HOWEVER, INSIDE the apartments are fully renovated - hardwood floors, marble countertops, big kitchen sinks, etc.
I live in a 1 bedroom + LOFT. I measured once and the ceilings are 20ft+high, there are massive full length windows - it is amazing! I have a perfect palm tree view of Century City. TIP: Be quick if there's an apartment open because most people who move-in stay for awhile.
Also, there are lots of amenities - rooftop pool, jacuzzi, sauna, gym+bathroom and showers!, pool table, etc. I wish the jacuzzi was on the roof but it's on the 1st floor kinda secluded with lots of plants so it's still very relaxing.
*Note: to my understanding, +LOFTS are only on the 3rd floor (top floor). I heard the ceilings are higher in the 1st & 2nd floor apartments as well but, I have never been in one so cannot comment.
Location: Perfect for me. Near the 10 Freeway, walking distance to the Westwood Rancho Park Metro Station - (easy hop on to Santa Monica, Culver City and Downtown!) and the best Ramen+Sushi, Mediterranean cafe, and Dry Cleaners walking distance nearby. There is also a great movie theater farther down with a large array of restaurant choices.
Management: Nora is the best property manager ever. She is so kind and thoughtful. Park Overland feels like home because she works hard to keep it great. Her office is on-site which is really convenient should you ever need anything, she's also on-top of emails and is a genuinely awesome human. Whenever I've had an issue it is solved THAT day or NEXT day. As soon as you tell her of a problem - lost keys, maintenance, etc - she is on it.
