Love the art deco architecture and the building is super clean. You really can't beat the location being that it's near the purple/red line metro stations, a block away from my favorite grocery store (H Mart), and of course being walking distance to all of the great restaurants Ktown has to offer. More importantly, new management is great. Ty is responsive, professional, courteous, and she's everything you'd want in an awesome manager. One downside is parking but that's basically all of Koreatown so it what it is. Overall, I feel great knowing that I can come home to a safe, clean, and secure building after work. read more

Ok. Enough of the bad reviews. I live in the 620 building. But I actually have lived in the 608 building as well and I have nothing but great things to say! 1. Richard is the BEST landlord ever. He's very responsive to any issue. I have texted and/or emailed him and he's always there for you. He's also very funny and is a wonderful neighbor. He posts memos all over the building if there's a problem and he is ON TOP OF IT. 2. Francisco is also the BEST. He has done many things for me and my boyfriend over the years and is always eager to help us and is friendly whenever we see him. I enjoy seeing him and his family on a daily basis. 3. Everyone in this building is very neighborly. We have friends in both buildings, and even people I have never seen before are kind and respectful. A lot of people have dogs, which I happen to enjoy since I don't own one. 4. I feel very safe here. As mentioned above, Richard is on top of it. He installed cameras on all areas outside and in the parking lot. He posts flyers if there happens to be odd behavior in the neighborhood. He even calls out his own tenants if they do not clean up after themselves. 5. This building is AMAZING...I live in one of the redone 2 bedroom 2 bathroom units in 620 and I honestly can say I have never dreamt of anything better. These units are GORGEOUS. I started out in a studio in the 620 building which had major character and cuteness. It only got better when I moved to the 2 bedroom. Original hardwood floors in both units, windows on pulleys and gorgeous views of all the bougainvillea outside my bedroom window. I also lived in the 608 building and it had the same charm. The grounds in both buildings are always clean. The outdoor common area is a great place to have coffee in the morning and maybe a cocktail in the evening. I occasionally share a bottle of wine with my boyfriend out there and it's beautiful. 6. The neighborhood seems safe. Yes, there is a little noise from a Korean bar in the parking lot, but nothing I don't expect from the city. There is also one of the most prestigious schools right across the street from me and I enjoy watching the kids arrive and leave the school; brings a kind of sweetness to the otherwise empty street. The church in the corner is gorgeous, and while there may be some homeless people, it's still beautiful to see. 7. The building is always being cleaned. Someone is always mopping, painting or cleaning the carpets. They take pride in how this building looks and I am so appreciative. Even the outdoor common area is regularly maintained. I highly recommend this building. It has brought me great joy in the last 3 years and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do. Thank you to Richard and Francisco for providing me with such a wonderful experience. read more

Despite the ghastly tales of negligent management and ridiculous fees (i.e. parking for $120/month), I called for a Saturday viewing of its available studio and one bedroom. I was smittened by the 1920's Art Deco architecture, the original brick facade, large French windows, manicured hedges, etc. Stupid me. Because I had set up the viewing early in the week, I decided to call two days before my appointment to make sure everything was still as planned for Saturday. The woman with whom I spoke before couldn't even remember that we had talked a few days ago. Apparently, no record of my ringing her. Not a good sign. I wanted to wring her neck. She penciled me in for Saturday---AGAIN. On the day of my viewing, when I tried to contact her, the property manager did not answer the phone. No one in the management office did. Apparently, she was sick and she forgot to tell me that she was not coming in. A man, supposedly the other property manager and quite a "jaesoo-omnin-nom," informed me of the situation while Jairo and I had been waiting outside the building entrance for at least fifteen minutes, wandering around/sitting/seething with rage. The man told us that, therefore, she cancelled all her weekend appointments, and he himself could not give us a tour either because he was sick, too. Apparently, sick is used very loosely. A SICK JOKE, THAT'S WHAT IT IS!!! He looked annoyed when I reacted with a frown upon hearing the cancelled appointment. Curt; repetitive; one hand on the door halfway open with his mug poking out and his eyes slits, the other hand brusquely affixed on his sweat-pantsed waist. He spoke coldly, quickly under one breath, and sounded more annoyed than he looked. While I was suggesting to him about possibly rescheduling for another weekend, he shut the door and walked away like a "gaesekki." I shook my fist at him. Shame. So close to Soju Town. Beware. read more

I went on the management property website to inquire about availability of units at this complex, and received an error message when going to the next screen. Therefore I had submitted an inquiry through their "contact us" webpage tab and asked for a couple of details about the property and availability of units. Shortly thereafter I received an email from Richard Cadena (mgmt) stating in one short sentence "this information is available on the website", which, I had tried previously. Therefore, I responsed back stating I had tried on the site and was unsuccessful and just wanted to receive my inquiry of basic information. I then received an email back stating "I just went to google and did it and it works. - Richard"..... As a perspective tenant , I only request for mutual respect and at least a friendly response. Based on the management's attitude, I would never rent. read more

Looking for a spot to live? I recommend Versailles Apts on S. St. Andrews! Young, CLEAN, yes on small pets, and good management .. (except for the lady in the front ... she can get in your face and then turn around and be someone totally different. Richard is super cool though) I lived here for about a little under 2 years. Although it's had the typical "K-Town" episodes (bar fights across the street, no parking on the streets, gun shots across town) .. overall, i think it's a great living space. Wood Floors, secret rooftop patios, super cool vintage elevator, gym, locked front door lobby, call box, usually next day service, and the best? There are no other housing on your block!! Yesss.. across the street is a school, and diagnal is a church. Pretty cool. It's walking distance to all the stores and restaurants too. This street is considered "K-town" but ..it doesn't really feel like it. I would call it the very last boarder line of "Mid-Wilshire". ..because one street over, it's SUPER k-town. it's also walking distance to the Wiltern! read more

See all

Living here was very bittersweet. My apartment was a small one bedroom with an amazingly spacious living room, tiny kitchen, and nice closet. Yes, landlord can lack human tact if you're an inept tenant. To me, he was very respectful, timely, and even kind. Pros: location to all dope things in Ktown. Maintenance and cleaning people are very friendly. The space definitely has charm. They will return your deposit if you take care of your unit Cons: rent will most definitely go up exponentially. This place is not rent controlled, so make sure you have a plan of action for when your rent goes up $200-$500 when your lease is up. read more

Can't wait to move in! Richard, the building(s) manager, is super helpful and has always been available to answer any questions. Building is a super gem. Great character in the units and hallways are flawless! read more

There is a Peter Pan effect that occurs once you become settled here. The fact that the neighbors are mostly young, eccentric, creative types (aka MY type) means that the buildings buzz with life. Throw on the 'little black dress' and shimmy down the hall because there's a party in 409. Many of the tenants are on the brink of greatness; it's easy to get wrapped up for hours, listening to neighbors' business ideas as well as travel and adventure stories. Indeed, the Versailles has graduated quite a number of new starlets, executives, and entrepreneurs. Even though I relocated to what should seem like a greener pasture, I have always missed "home", my cubicle of an apartment on St. Andrews Place. There's history besides my own here, too. The epitome of cool, Al Capone used to own the Versailles. As hinted, the units are micro. The "large" one bedroom is only 650 square feet. You can take a gander at what the typical one bedroom was like. Small? No, more like "fit for a broom and dustpan". The manager, Richard, has now been living and working at the Versailles for about 13 years. While he may be a wild card at times, he is consistent in maintaining Versailles' standards, and he has a heart of gold. Each X-mas, he hosts a party for residents and friends. The maintenance staff, most of whom have worked in the buildings for at least a decade, is also wonderful. Oh, and just pay for the parking space. It's ridiculously priced, but so are the parking tickets you'll inevitably accrue if you choose street parking. You will literally become a meter slave, and if you work hours that keep you home during part of the day, you'll be running back and forth every hour to feed the City's machines. If you don't, the PVB WILL be there to ticket you (not a matter of "if" but "will"). I've received tickets at 8:01am. If you park on Wilshire and remain after 7am on the nose, your car isn't missing because it has been stolen; it was towed, and you'll have to pay outstanding tickets plus the new ticket for parking in a "no stopping" zone, compounded with tow fees et. al.. I actually caught a PVB worker and tow truck driver hitching my car up for tow on Wilshire one morning at 6:56am. I ran over, flailing and yelling, and they let my car down since it was before 7am. The saddest thing ever: One Thanksgiving morning, I did my typical zombie walk to 6th, so I could feed the meter. Three other neighbors-- one in a robe--did the same. When we realized it was a holiday, we shared laughs over the absurdity of living like we did. The PVB will haunt your dreams. Like I said, just pay the parking ransom for sanity's sake. BTW, the Versailles is in Wilshire Center; NOT Koreatown, which is further southeast. read more

Great team, there's always someone in the office and greeted with a smile from either lizzeth or surmeet. Very personable and informative.!

If you have the opportunity to live in one of these buildings, I suggest you jump on it. I lived here for just about four years and loved it. I was initially drawn to this building by the architecture and landscaping. The interior of most of the units are quite modern, despite the quaint 1920s exterior, nice because 1920s kitchens and old lighting are not wassup in 2015. The common areas, which include old style stairwells, a fitness room and a quaint back patio with seating and a place to keep your small grill, are all very well maintained. They also have the BEST holiday lights, come the end of the year that will make you just the right amount of giddy when you come home from work in the evening to red and green vintage street lamps and wreaths. It feels like home! The location of the Versailles is great. The only other building on the street is an elementary school/church, which makes for quiet evenings while still being only blocks away from the Wiltern, Ralphs grocery store, Beer Belly (best bar in Ktown!) and other great restaurants. The purple line and multiple bus lines are a hop, skip and a jump away, which is nice if you don't have a car or don't feel like sitting in traffic. The building itself is friendly but not overly in-your-space personal. It's nice that the building is pet friendly - there are a lot of cute dogs and awesome dog people around. My unit was actually quite large for a one bedroom build in the 1920s, but the unit sizes do vary among the buildings. I had huge French style windows and a walk in closet. Richard, the manager, lives on site and is very responsive and good natured. I never once had a problem that was not addressed immediately and professionally in all my years here. It's surprising that there are negative reviews of the building on Yelp based on people who never even looked at a unit here but were merely put off by him being "rude." He's actually a very nice guy who takes a lot of pride in the building, he just has a dry sense of humor and a short demeanor when it comes to conducting business. If you see him in person, I am sure you will get the same sense. The move out and deposit refund process were seamless. Highly recommend the Versailles to call home! read more

Trying to get information of the apartment and the guy who picked up was rude and condescending. There are other places out there with better apartment layout and with parking so stay away! read more

The study rooms are nice and spacious and conference rooms are really good and clean! Shared kitchen area is also super clean and nice for studying as well. My favorite person lives here :D :D But the garage door sometimes gets broken and my favorite person can't come out to see me :( read more

Not sure what to make of this place. Their name was recently changed from "St Andrews Dev Corp" to "Versailles". There's some very negative info about them from both Apartments()com and from the BBB ... under the old name. Can someone please fill in the blanks for me?

Thank you to Surmeet for putting a rush in my service request on my ac, they are all very efficient and super nice at the office !

Terrible. While I lived there a drive-by, a fire, several break-ins... The list goes on. Terrible management Constant construction since the main fire. A friend was moving out and had every item of her belongings stolen. The management advised her not to call the police. Unsafe and a truly terrible place to live. read more
