Who says malls are dead? Apparently they have not been to Fashion Square because it was poppin!…read more I have not been to a mall in ages. Normally, they're just not my thing. I prefer shopping with individual merchants in my neighborhood. But eventually, we all have to take a trip to the Apple Store, or to a department store. It's inevitable. What I forgot about is how friendly all the merchants are. I parked at the wrong end of the mall and couldn't seem to find my bearing. All I had to do was ask any Merchant and they all directed me with a smile to where I needed to go. Even when I didn't buy anything from them. People were just very accommodating and happy. I guess malls are a happy place. Retail therapy is real. I can't speak much to value, because of course prices range from hide below, depending up on where you're going. I went to Bloomingdale's for lunch and then I went to H&M for jeans. High to low. I must say that everything is so convenient. I picked up things I didn't really intend to because I remember I needed them and I was there. All in all, I would say it was a great experience. I'll probably be going back to the mall again.

Ok so this mall is slowly loosing its touch! I miss when coffee bean was in here and Z Gallery!!…read moreThe service is cool in the stores but I feel the selections aren't good!!! The stores could have better items and bargains!! It's not too many stores in here I like! But it's decent because of their Macys!! That's the best store in here in my opinion!! They also have a really good court!! Majority of the time I come I don't get anything!! It can be better if they have better stores!! -Marshay D.

Fun afternoon! Great candy shop. Would recommend for window shopping or if you would like to buy…read moresomething, though it's a bit pricy but you can find some stuff for a good price. Especially at the farmers market there is a booth where you can make your own soda and although the line was long it moved quickly and had a great result. I strongly recommend the farmers market for a cheaper selection of food and fun drinks.

My non-LA pilled brain keeps mixing this one up with the Americana but it makes sense since they're…read moreallegedly designed by the same people. I don't think I go out of my way to visit the Grove, considering the distance and the difficulty of getting parking. Huge crowds, have to pay for parking, and even if you walk farther away, it's a risk to get towed and there's metered parking too that hit a 2 hour maximum, at least the last time I went there. Aside from accidentally wandering in here or being here for a specific event (seeing Yoshiki over a decade ago or the 20th anniversary Rilakkuma pop up, which was absolutely fisted with people), I've only wandered here on accident when hanging out with friends elsewhere. There's a good number of shops and eateries though, especially since it sort of shares the space/is right next to the Farmer's Market (great open area to go shop and to go dine). Large overlap of the same shops and eateries as the Americana, but there's things there that we don't have in Glendale. Lot of higher end businesses. Big fan of the La La Land Kind Cafe and what they do, their drinks, and their aesthetic. It's not a bad outdoors mall, considering how "fancy" it is, the fact that it's outside in the California sunshine, and the fountain with the Bellagio style musical water shows, but just know that the parking can get hideous.

I've come here a few times and I've enjoyed this bit of luxe in the valley. It's beautiful at night…read morewith the string lights giving a romantic glow. I've taken a few free workout classes at the Vuori here and they've been enjoyable. While I look forward to walking around this chic enclave, I'll echo what some other Yelpers have said: the parking here is an unnecessary headache. I don't believe in paying for parking at a mall or outdoor shopping center. I think it's a petty cash grab. Additionally, as others have mentioned, many of the spots here are tandem. This is gross, even with valet. I'm going to get creative and find parking elsewhere because I refuse to pay for parking here anymore.

This is a nice little shopping center with small retail stores, restrauants and a grocery store…read morethat has a lot of items. Parking can be tricky but once you figure out then it's not that bad. You also get free 90 minutes parking here and have to give the valet people your key because of the way the parking spots work. You might get boxed in or you'll be the one boxing in the other car. The scenery here is amazing with the little ponds and sitting area. The atmosphere here makes you feel like you're at a park. My wife and I came here because she wanted to visited Hoka store to try their comfortable shows. Then she wanted to go to Erewhon to try their overpriced smoothies.

My husband and I moved into Citrus Commons last week and it's been such an amazing experience so…read morefar. Mimi was our leasing manager who was unbelievably helpful and made herself available through every single step of the process. I literally do not have enough kind words to say about her. When we moved in, we experienced an issue with our dishwasher and within 2 hours of submitting the request, Luis and Vince (maintenance team) showed up and replaced the entire unit. They were also so kind and had the best energy. All of the finishes within the building and unit feel very luxe and the team here is nothing short of fantastic. We absolutely made the right call in moving to Citrus Commons.

I had the opportunity to walk and spend time at IMT Citrus Commons and I have to say it truly…read moreexceeded my expectations in every way. The entire building is absolutely stunning. From the moment you walk in you can tell that a lot of thought and care went into both the design and overall atmosphere. The units are stunning , modern and beautifully finished. Everything feels fresh, clean, and upscale. The staff are amazing. Every single person I encountered was kind, professional , and sweet. Now days It's very rare to find a team that is so attentive and willing to assist with anything. I love the location being within walking distance to Trader Joe's and the mall is very convenient and prime location that makes everyday life easier and enjoyable. If you are looking for a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience. THIS IS IT. . highly recommend. Best, Absolute Ruby Maayah

Visually, superior to Downtown Disney. Selection of shops and eateries, I cannot say the same. I've…read moregone to Disney more, so apologies for the constant comparison. Parking varies if on if you have a pass, if you're just going to the theme park, and if you're going to do validation only for City Walk. Though, it's pretty cool that it's reduced after 5 PM (technically you can do this for Disney, and , but it's after 7-ish instead). The scale of everything and the neon lights, and photo ops are much more impressive. Great to look at, at night and this was the location of my senior prom. Wish I had the intellect to just wander around City Walk instead of being forced to be in one of their event buildings only with some of the most cringe people I've met in my life. But I digress. Dining options are tad more limited with more desserts and quick service, standard fast food chains (probably the craziest Raising Cane's I've ever seen), and a couple of sit down restaurants. Neat that they have a Pink's since it's so closely tied to Hollywood history. For shopping, they do have a bunch of businesses that you can find at your local mall like Lids, Hot Topic, Shoe Palace (lol), Tilly's and much more. I think for the must stops and unique shops, it'd be the Sanrio and Hello Kitty Cafe, that chocolate emporium place (insane name), the Line Friends shop, and of course the shop that sells all the merch from Universal Studios. Due to the distance and the cost, it's not a place I'd go out of my way for, but if you're already at Universal or it's after 5 PM, it's worth it as a tourist and to explore.

This is an amazing place to visit, sightsee, shop, and eat lunch or dinner. It reminds me a lot of…read moredowntown Disney. Make sure to check out parking before you go. A good plan is to use the Jurassic parking area (valet parking). You can get your ticketed validated at any of the main restaurants for 3.5 hours and the price is only $15.00. The most striking thing we noticed was the actual beauty of the architecture of each store. Even raising canes was amazing. Each store like Bubba Gumps and Margaritaville are really decorated nicely. We ate at Margaritaville and they have excellent food. Antijitos Mexican restaurant has some of the nicest decor i have ever seen. We plan to eat there next time. So many other shops to explore like It's Sugar and the gigantic chocolate emporium. I highly recommend making an outting here even for just some exercise or to come for lunch at one of these unique restaurants.
