WARNING: If you are thinking about living here, DON'T.
Trust me, don't do it to yourself. The single pro about this place is that it's very pretty, but there were so many constant issues that I've never experienced elsewhere. Not to mention- this place is MUCH more expensive than anywhere else in the area.

I have listed my issues in the following 5 points.
(If you are still considering moving here, after my warnings, ask Nia or another office employee there about these points, I'm willing to bet my life savings that they won't have a good answer for any of these.)


2. The building is exceedingly old, which stems many issues. Black mold is constantly popping up in the bathroom and kitchen, and the walls are paper thin so you can hear everything your neighbors are doing. Everything. They can hear everything you are doing as well.
3. Drive a car? DON'T move here. There is no free parking anywhere, so you are stuck with paying exorbitantly high prices (>1K/month) for a parking spot underneath the building. But theres a +1year long waitlist for one of those spots, so you won't be able to get those either. I wouldn't park on the street either, street cleaning means the city will constantly ticket you.
4. Like online shopping? Order stuff from Amazon? Half of your packages will get either lost, or stolen. The people in the office only work until 9am-12pm, 2pm-5:45pm weekdays, so if your package doesn't get delivered during those exact times, no one is available to open the gate for the delivery driver. I've had Amazon packages delayed +1 week.
4. Horrendous service. Nia, one of the office employees, is unpleasant at best, and they are constantly confused, constant miscommunication with each other, loosing paperwork, arbitrarily charging fees, and unable to answer the most basic questions.
5. There is a HUGE homeless problem. Homeless people are constantly breaking in. Why? because the gate is broken, and easily jimmied to get in. I once woke up at 3AM in the middle of the night to a homeless man banging on my door. If you are a woman living on your own, you know how absolutely terrifying that can be. We call the police constantly, and still, the problem persists. They need to replace the lock with something like a smart keypad, not a keyed lock thats easily broken into.

TL;DR: Don't live here. No A/C, and they don't let u use your own. Mold, thin walls, no parking, lost packages, bad service, and homeless people breaking in.
There are so many better places to live near Westwood (just across the street too!) that are so much better than here. Trust me, don't live here. You will waste your money and regret every second of living here.
