Just moved here in 12/2025. Overall the reviews looked good and the loft apartments felt unique…read more Though to start with the negatives I dont understand all the good reviews, or people just have low standards. I came from living in Irvine company apartments in the OC and that was pretty good. Here you can hear people opening/closing cabinets, or using the shower, as if it's in your own unit. The water pipes are loud too. You can hear neighbors talking and making noise through the walls, it's pretty annoying, even though it seems they're talking in a regular volume. So it's really not a quiet complex. There is on site laundry but only 2 washers and dryers a piece, for the amount of units I think there should be more available. For the positives, the complex is centrally located next to the freeway so it's easy to get in and out of the area. Packages are delivered to the door which is nice. The loft units feel unique and was a big reason for choosing the complex. The management/ managers seem pretty nice and competent. When initially moving in I worked with Madison, then Tez, as the former was leaving. From my perception I think Carlo tries to hire competent managers so I'm sure whoever fills the spot will be good too. Overall good place but I think many of the reviews don't know what quiet means.

It's been a little over two months since my partner and I moved into Vista Pointe and I'm so beyond…read morethrilled to be here. To begin with, getting this place was basically fate. We looked at 18 places over the course of two days. Didn't love any of them. We almost gave up and then saw this place randomly on our search. We called and toured the next day with Ruth. She's the property manager at the other Vista Pointe location but she was super communicative and friendly, and gave us a great tour of the place. We fell in love immediately. That being said, the application process was a bit difficult. We didn't get approved at first, even though we "checked all the boxes." (great credit, income, prior history, etc). But we're independent contractors, so we still needed a cosigner. Through that WHOLE process though, Ruth and our now current property manager Madison, were SO helpful and communicative. They constantly gave us updates and really fought for us to get in here. It's nice to know we're in a place that cares for its tenants, but also wants to make sure only responsible adults are moving in. Now our property manager Madison lives on site, and I cannot rave about her more. I've never had a landlord or manager that cares SO much about the tenants. Anything I need, she's a text away. Any time of day. Which is nuts. Our maintenance requests are handled right away. As are any other issues. (though there hasn't been anything major). It's an older building. Anyone moving in needs to know that. Walls are thin. There aren't any crazy new amenities. But the renovations are great. We love our one bedroom townhouse. We're right by the outdoor grilling/hot tub area, which is also a great perk. There's gated parking included. And the location is prime. You can't beat it. We feel super lucky to be here, and hope to stay here awhile!

This has been one of the worst living experiences I've ever had…read more The neighborhood feels very unsafe. There are large numbers of homeless individuals around the block, and I've personally been chased multiple times. It's incredibly stressful just coming and going from your own home. Another major issue is the trash collection. The city trash truck consistently comes before 7 AM, and the noise is extremely loud--it will wake you up whether you want it or not. I brought this up to management, but their response was essentially that there's nothing they can do. So you're stuck dealing with it every single morning. On top of that, the building itself is poorly managed. From noisy neighbors throwing parties and screaming at 4 AM to other ongoing issues, management never takes meaningful action. Their response is always the same generic script: "We are working on the issue. If you're not happy, we can review lease termination options with you." In other words, either tolerate the problems or pay more money to leave. The neighbors above me are extremely loud and seem to start their activity late at night, often around 1 AM. The noise is so intense that it wakes me up with a racing heart. It's not occasional--it's every single night. I haven't been able to sleep in my own bedroom for the past year because of this. Instead, I'm paying $3,400 a month just to sleep on my sofa. That's completely unacceptable and far beyond anything anyone should have to tolerate. Between the unsafe surroundings, constant noise, and lack of accountability from management, living here has been extremely frustrating. This place has seriously impacted my quality of life, and I regret signing a lease here.

I didn't make appointments totally my fault but we were just trying to feel out the neighborhood. Most places turned us away as soon as I mentioned our move-in timeline but not L and O Apartments. And that's exactly why I'm taking the time to write this. They were the only building that welcomed me as a walk-in. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with smiles. The lobby smelled amazing and the entire vibe felt warm and inviting. They offered me coffee and had apples and bananas out which my son absolutely loved. Chelsea is the one who toured me and she was so kind so sweet and absolutely amazing. After seeing the rooftop, the gym and everything else I'm seriously considering this place. If there's one thing I noticed it's that they actually make you feel like a future resident not just a number based on when I needed to move in.

I've lived at the Ritz Apartments in Studio City for over a year now, and my experience has been…read moreconsistently great--largely thanks to Julian, the manager. His professionalism and leadership truly is truly remarkable! Julian is an excellent communicator, highly organized, and consistently attentive to every detail. Anytime something comes up, he handles it quickly and efficiently with a calm, solutions-focused approach. He's also very proactive and always striving to improve the property--whether it's addressing maintenance needs, upgrading appliances like washers and dryers, or ensuring repairs are handled seamlessly. That speaks volume for me! What I appreciate most is his positive attitude and the genuine care he shows for residents. It gives me real peace of mind knowing everything is being managed with such consistency and care. He's one of the best property managers I've experienced and I am so grateful for him and for calling this my peaceful home. Sincerely, Julia

I have lived at Catalina for about six months. The community is filled with incredible people, the…read morelocation is great, and for those of us lucky enough to take advantage of the lower rents during the pandemic, the value for the amenities is great. Rafael is also an incredible human and a huge part of why I moved in. But we need to talk about vomitgate. To set the stage, each building only has a single elevator and two stairwells (both of which are locked). This means that for residents with mobility issues, postal workers, and delivery people, the only access to the units is via this one elevator. Which is why it's particularly alarming to me that we are now entering day three of our elevator being inaccessible due to a large pool of vomit. I first discovered it Saturday afternoon, when trying to use the elevator to take my dog out for a walk. There was something that looked like dog drool on the elevator floor, but when the elevator doors opened I saw the puddle of vomit and immediately went down to the parking garage to exit that way. There is no emergency maintenance line that I am aware of, but several residents texted the managers to let them know the situation. Saturday evening, the vomit was still there, but someone had placed a "caution wet floor" sign over it. It is now Monday morning. The vomit is still blocking the entrance to the elevator. I am thankful I am able bodied, as the lobby must be accessed in order to use the gym, trash room, dog park, and of course to enter and leave the building. Thinking of the people entering the building who have no choice but to use the elevator, as well as residents who are not able to use the stairs and have to choose whether to walk across a puddle of vomit during a global pandemic or not enter or leave their homes is truly alarming. This is a health and safety hazard, not to mention flat out bizarre. I have heard from other residents another puddle of vomit has gone untouched on the third floor. I will continue to report back on how long it remains before being taken care of.

My friend and I are currently renting out a 1 bedroom, and they gave us 2 reserved, covered parking spots, when they usually only give out 1. We have had no problems with neighbors whatsoever. This is genuinely a safe place to live. There are no pests either, which is a big thing for me. I highly recommend this place to anyone, as it's easily the best/nicest apartment I've ever lived in (I've been a tenant in 8+ apartments). Amenities include a pool, 10+ BBQs spread out between two separate areas, a huge jacuzzi (fits 10-15), and an exercise gym. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and laundry in-unit are all big pluses. Go ahead and check this place out. The old (negative) comments are probably in regards to the old management. Current management (Glen) is awesome!

This is a great little gem in Studio city and is so close to most everything you need. I absolutely recommend the Enclave.

Very disappointed!…read more I applied for an apartment, I was having trouble uploading documents as their AI system wouldn't accept the PDF file my accountant sent me. For several days I contacted them using the AI system, (because you can't get anyone on the phone) that I was having trouble and needed assistance or an alternative way to upload the documents. Each time I was giving a phone number that just loops you back to the AI system or told that they would reach out to the on site team to contact me and nothing! No one called, I drove there and asked if anyone from the leasing office was available to help me. Crickets. No one seems to care and it's almost impossible to get a hold of a live person. They eventually cancelled my application and listed the same unit for over $200 more, even after NUMEROUS attempts to get a hold of someone for help. Absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous.

If you are thinking about moving to Avalon, think very carefully before you do…read more I lived there for several years and it was one of the worst living experiences I have ever had. The noise in that building is absolutely insane. The sound insulation is terrible. You can hear every step, every movement, and every little noise from the apartment above you. It feels like people are literally walking inside your own apartment. Living there was constant stress and frustration. The management simply does not care. I complained many times and nothing was ever done. When I finally moved out, they charged me an unreasonable amount of money for painting and other things that should have been done anyway as normal turnover maintenance. I left the apartment clean, yet they still charged me for cleaning the bathroom and the toilet and even made up additional charges that made no sense. Overall this place was a nightmare to live in. I would not recommend Avalon to anyone

I'm leaving this review because I wish someone had been this direct before I moved in…read more This place is marketed as "luxury," but the reality is an old building with persistent quality-of-life issues that management either can't or won't get ahead of. 1) Trash areas are disgusting and regularly overflow. I'm attaching a photo of the trash area near the elevators where garbage is piled up and spilling out. It's not a one-off. When the shared spaces look like this, it tells you everything you need to know about how the property is being run. 2) Roaches. I'm also attaching photos of a roach in/around the bathroom area (near the shower items). And no, this isn't just "a random bug." Neighboring tenants have confirmed it's been an ongoing issue in the building. 3) Old building + old elevators + constant disruptions. The elevators are old and the building feels dated across the board. Fire alarms have gone off at weird times at night, waking tenants and forcing people to vacate. On top of that, water shutoffs happen way too often (it felt nearly monthly) "for maintenance." That's not normal living--especially for what they charge. 4) "Security" feels like a marketing line. They claim security is on-site, but I've personally seen homeless individuals make their way into the parking garage and even into the elevators multiple times. That's a serious safety concern, and it didn't feel like access was controlled. 5) Front office is unprofessional. Interactions with the front office were consistently frustrating--unprofessional, and at times borderline rude. If you end up needing help from Jen or Will, don't expect clear answers or urgency. Bottom line: If you know what's best, look elsewhere. Between the overflowing trash, roach issue, safety concerns, and constant disruptions, this place isn't worth the stress.
