The unexplained lockdown of the roof area at 10pm walks a very thin line of nazi like management for no apparent reason other than gluttony since they will rent to complete outsiders for a dollar but turn all access off to loyal residents. This is unacceptable! Safety Safety Safety - The mailboxes and garage access - (The garage is wide open access) have been compromised and has not been fixed for over two weeks because they are so busy monitoring the roof so the local transients roam freely in the lobby and parking levels checking doors for free entry while panhandling like it's nobody's business. For the price it's a ripoff with a belligerent slow response to resident request without accountability on almost everything. Then they rob actual residents of the one shining amenity which is the rooftop by denying access to it. Shame on management and ownership for treating their residents so badly. Hopefully they will regroup and do a hard reset and reopen the roof amenities to hardworking Long Beach residents.

Thoughtful designs like a sunken bathtub, walk-in closes and indoor fireplace give it character points. The property is two blocks from the lively Alamitos beach where you can roller skate, go jogging, or join in daily sessions of yoga on the Bluff. Incredibly quiet, safe and beautiful neighborhood. Over our three years we had nothing but good neighbors, privacy, and peace. Kathie does a great job making sure everyone is a good fit for the building, and she's on top of everything maintenance related. She's good people. Highly recommend these apartments.

From the very beginning, Dinah and Libby made what can often be a stressful apartment search into…read morean enjoyable and seamless experience. They went above and beyond to help my daughter find the perfect apartment, taking the time to understand exactly what she was looking for and guiding us through every step of the process. Their professionalism, knowledge, patience, and genuine kindness were evident in every interaction. No question was ever too small, and they always responded promptly with clear, thoughtful answers. We never felt rushed or pressured, only supported and valued. What truly sets this leasing office apart is the outstanding level of customer service that Dinah and Libby provide. They are warm, welcoming, incredibly organized, and truly care about the people they help. Their attention to detail and commitment to making sure everything was handled perfectly gave us complete confidence throughout the entire leasing process. If every apartment community had a leasing team like Dinah and Libby, finding a home would always be a wonderful experience. They are the gold standard for what a leasing office should be, and they are a tremendous asset to this community. Thank you, Dinah and Libby, for making this such a positive experience and for helping my daughter find a place she is excited to call home. I highly recommend this community to anyone looking for exceptional service and a team that genuinely cares.

Update #2: a friend accidentally ordered a present for my birthday to my old address, this…read moreapartment complex, and the leasing office didn't even bother to call and let me know / ask me to pick it up, they just tossed the package immediately. Genuinely a terrible, rotten company that will do everything they can to be petty and rude. Update: after writing a review on both google and yelp, they all of a sudden were able to return my call the same day I wrote it, smh. *Could* be coincidence, but I will also add that when I applied to this place I got the same treatment for TWO weeks and, again, got a call the same day I wrote a review on Google about that, so. Be very careful with this place, keep eye on your deposits, and take a good look at the itemized list they give you because they will make "mistakes" Very shady, unpleasant and rude experience. Moved out and was told I owe $177 and was given an itemized list only to see that they only included one of two of the $600 deposits I made (a regular and pet deposit totaling to $1200). I've contacted them FIVE TIMES for a week to ask why the second deposit was left out; text, voicemail, email, and have been ignored completely. I'm almost certain it's on purpose to try and keep the other deposit AND ask for more money because... how? How have they NOT responded for a week, from all different sources of contact, even after messaging them "this is my 4th / 5th time trying to contact you with no response," but was told my payment to them is "urgent" ? They really are trying to swipe my second deposit AND ask for more money from me. What a horrible, disgusting place. But besides being potentially scammed, and possibly needing to contact a lawyer since they won't answer any form of contact, I could not stand the older lady in the office and left after a year pretty much because of her. She's VERY rude and annoying. Before switching to automated texts to let us know if we have packages, she used to manually call everyone and would nag me, because I order a "lot" of stuff, so I refused to answer any of her calls (or else I would get nasty). Well, it even got to a point where she demanded I call her back and let her know why I was "ignoring" her calls? No, lady, lol you can leave your voicemails and talk to yourself since you want to be rude. Acting as if she's entitled to me answering the phone and letting her yap in my ear about how I order "too much stuff" (as if it's her business?). Thank god they switched to texts. People probably complained about her attitude lol. After that I just completely ignored her existence because she was so unpleasant. Hope she learns some basic customer support skills!

Please ensure that you take a photo of every single thing. Upon time to renew my lease my landlord is forcing me to move out by saying I need to pay $6,000 to restore the window hinges in my unit. Mind you, the window hinges are almost 100 years old and were never previously repaired. Thanks Angie and Damone for being greedy landlords. As another consolation, I paid a $300 move in/move out fee when I moved in and now Dan is saying I need to pay another $250 to hire a company to observe and take photos/videos of my move so any damage I'd documented. Somehow the $300 I paid upon move in is not longer applicable. I was in a shoe box with no parking or storage for $2500. If it wasn't for my lovely neighbor and other residents I met in the building I would not have moved here in the first place. Also, I had a guest park in the front driveway. We signed in the guest parking book, we put our phone number and unit. When the concierge arrived, the concierge called the wrong number and had my friend's car towed. The woman in the office and the concierge couldn't have cared less, I ate that cost and paid $400 to get my friend's car back. It's honestly so disappointing. Hope this helps someone!

I wanted to love living at The Magnolia. The apartments are beautiful, the location is excellent,…read moreand the property is marketed as a luxury community. Unfortunately, my experience over the past several months has not reflected the luxury living standard that residents are paying for. During my tenancy so far, residents dealt with a series of prolonged issues that significantly impacted the overall living experience. The pool was closed for approximately a month, the barbecue area was unavailable for several months, one elevator was out of service for an extended period(and still is) and there were instances where both elevators were unavailable. As a resident on the 6th floor, elevator outages were more than a minor inconvenience. Sometimes waiting over 5 minutes for an overly full elevator due to hundreds of residents using one operating elevator. In addition, the garage gate remained broken for over a month, which raised concerns about security and access control. During this period, unauthorized individuals were reportedly able to access areas of the building that should have been secured. Residents were also assessed charges related to trash chute issues while many of these other problems were ongoing. I understand that maintenance issues happen and that some repairs require outside vendors. My frustration is not that problems occurred, but that so many significant issues happened at the same time and persisted for weeks or months. For a property where residents pay "luxury rent", I expected a higher level of reliability and resident consideration. What disappointed me most was management's response when I requested a goodwill credit or concession due to the cumulative impact of these disruptions. Despite acknowledging the inconvenience, management maintained that residents are paying only for the apartment itself and not for the amenities and services that are heavily marketed as part of the community experience. The Magnolia has many positive qualities, and I genuinely hope management resolves these issues and improves the resident experience going forward. However, prospective renters should understand that while the property presents itself as a luxury community, my experience has been that when major amenity, access, and service disruptions occur, residents should not expect compensation or rent concessions.

When this property was under Greystar it was great. Amenities were always clean, staff was friendly…read moreand easily contacted, maintenance was taken care of quickly and the maintenance team had great communication. THEN new earth res took over and the quality of living in the building significantly decreased. Amenities were often dirty or had lingering bad odors (wet dog/old food/trash that's been sitting out too long), maintenance tickets would go ignored and their collab with happy.co or whatever made it so that you couldn't see what was going on with the request. We spent months without a heater and 2 weeks before moving out we were finally offered a plug in unit. Additionally, the staff up front were impossible to find even during business hours; it was just a laptop at a desk with no one to talk to. Once you did get someone to talk to, that person couldn't actually solve your problem so it didn't matter and if you somehow got a hold of who could solve your problem, they had the WORST attitude about it. Also, new earth res would pick and choose when to enforce the community guidelines. There were cars in the parking lot on jacks, lots of people would store things behind their parking spot, constant smell of weed sometimes and management wouldn't say much about that. All of a sudden we leave an empty Amazon box out behind our car and we get a nasty email about clearing our stuff out by a certain day otherwise we would be charged a cleaning fee. Speaking of fees, I'd be very careful about documenting everything because when you move out they're gonna charge you a cleaning fee that you cannot avoid (pretty sure that's not allowed but ‍) We were told that even if we left the unit in perfect condition, the cleaning fee was going to be taken out of our deposit regardless. Cherry on top was having them claim they HAD to replace a countertop because it was severely cracked even though when we moved in and asked if we had to report that they told us no because it was "only quarter sized". Lesson learned. We moved out because we couldn't take the management anymore. Magnolia is a beautiful building with great residents but for the price you're paying, it's not being maintained to the "luxury living" standard. If Greystar buys the building back I'd be happy to return but until then no thanks.
