Westwood Westside Apartment Review

This is for the 6643 Haskell Ave property. God awful! The rent is so expensive for what they provide. The management company is God awful! My mom has lived here for a very long time so naturally some things need to be replaced. Management refuses to upkeep the apartment for things like the tub starting to peel and the walls beginning to crack and peel. There is mold growing in the bathroom ceiling wall and the wood sink int he bathroom is starting to warp. Literally normal stuff that should be kept up with if you live in a location for over 15 years. They say it s cosmetic and won t do upkeep. Many apts are remodeled but just know that if you re going to live here you re on your own management won t fix anything. Also they have a huge theft issue, cars get broken into, a boy was almost kidnapped right outside the building, a woman was grabbed and almost kidnapped right in front of the building. Very dangerous area. The building installed cameras for show because they do not work. If you ask to see footage of theft and break-ins they always tell you the cameras were not working that day. Expensive apartments for dump living. If you want a safe comfy home to live in stay away from this place.

I am new to LA and it was just refreshing to find not only a manger that cares but the office as well. They answered all my petty questions and gave me peace of mind. I received exactly what I asked for and a an apt fairly priced compared to competitors. I feel safe and my apt is modern and nice. I am easy going but Westside Habitats far exceeded my expectations due to my experience with previous landlords. Give them a try.

I recently moved into a unit in Sherman Oaks, everything has been wonderful. The building manager is responsive, and the complex is very clean. I would say the ONLY thing that I am not happy with is that I have seen about 8 TINY roaches and one slightly larger one since moving in over the last two weeks. I have reported them and an exterminator has been scheduled. So at least its being taken care of! I am happy about that. Secondly, it would be nice to have some common seating in the common areas but, it is what it is. All in all, so far so good!

Our experience with Westside Habitats has so far been great. Things are kept clean and organized, our property manager Rodrigo is super nice and helpful, and we're really enjoying living here!

I recently renewed my lease for another year!!! I absolutely love living here. Excellent location, friendly neighbors, safe atmosphere, The perks include garage parking, secure entry, balcony with a view and central a/c. My place has also been recently modeled so it looks very modern and chic. Also making payments is simple and easy online. Yea, I'm not going anywhere for a while. Thank you Scott and the entire Westside Habitats Team for a pleasant experience!

I've only lived here (2nd St) about a week, but the lease signing and move in process has been great. Audra was super accommodating to answer all my questions and allow me to check out the place another time before making my final decision on renting. She has been super informative, professional, and friendly, going above and beyond, and even stopping by to introduce herself after we moved in. The place was clean and set up nicely for us by the time we moved in. Very happy, so far!

Great company with exceptional properties. The realtor Scott Nelson was excellent.

18400 Prairie St location. Just moved in recently, was my first time moving into an apartment the process was very smooth. Few hiccups here and there but everything got cleared up easily. Great location, quiet neighborhood. Would definitely recommend.

My boyfriend and I just moved into the the West LA area, and after looking at several apartments, it was clear that this really well-maintained building was our new home. The property manager, Allie, was so great to work with every step of the process. From showing the apartment to signing the leases, she was responsive, professional, friendly and punctual. I would definitely recommend Westside Habitats!

I wish I would have read the reviews before I got in this place. I am beyond upset with them as they don't want to pay me back my $1,800 security deposit and found all sorts of things to charge me for. In either case, please see below my last e-mail to them and how apparently I'm not getting anywhere with them...

Very disappointing to read what I just read but definitely expected from such an unprofessional company. In either case, I went back and found a picture of the invoice so it is attached and again, I will emphasize that it took us two full days to "deep" clean the apartment as much as we could. As I mentioned in my first e-mail, "Everything was wiped clean before turning in the keys as suggested in the 'Move Out Packet' letter that was emailed to me before vacating." I don't think I deserve to pay for even the Touch Up Cleaning Fee. It sounds like your cleaning crew took the credit for all the cleaning.

Regarding the sink, attached is the picture that shows the crack when I moved in making it clear it needed to be re-glazed even before I moved in. This wasn't the only thing that needed repairs before I moved in, as you will see in the pictures, the shower door had mold and it only got worse with time, I needed to clean it after every shower to keep it clean. The bathroom cabinets were broken and couldn't be used until they got repaired. There were cabinet chips in both bathrooms. The picture you attached was from the kitchen cabinet and those chips were also there when I moved in. The most disturbing issue was the toilets and you including the manager did not address those to me at all and I had to work with that for a whole year. As you can see I have attached a couple e-mails with a lot of these damages/concerns and some I decided to just over look because of the constant going back and forth with fixing things. I knew the apartment wasn't brand new but the remodel was very cheap. Ultimately, I am being discredited for everything I am stating and having to go through all this trouble for not even half of my security deposit. And lets not forget that I am also getting charged for the apartment to get repainted for the new tenant from MY security deposit money, when the walls did not need to be repainted at all.

Your "high standards" and "strict code" of what the unit should look like when handed to another tenant were not so high when the unit was turned in to me, so the least you can do is help me get these charges reimbursed.
