I read the other reviews and think they're unfair given the previous circumstances. The new manager (Tania)is really nice and has done an unbelievable job at whipping this place into shape. I've been a tenant for a couple of years and considered moving prior to her hiring. I've actually watched her at 10 pm walk the halls to check for noisy apartments and she tows unauthorized vehicles so your car is NEVER blocked in! All the troublemakers were forced (legally of course) to move out, she made it very apparent that they were not welcome.
We don't have hot water problems anymore, that didn't last all winter either. It was around two weeks while the boiler was being repaired. Sounds like the other reviewer is a drama major. The building itself no longer has grafitti, holes in the walls or drug dealers and the frat next door is not noisy anymore. Probably because at ten pm on Friday and Sat night "someone" calls the police to enforce the Westwood noise ordinance. On top of this, my parents met her and the maintenance man (Carl' or Carlos) and they LOVE that I live here, my mom is a little overprotective and they're renting for my sister in the Fall. I guess that Tania is a mom and she's also ex-military or something' My dad has a tattoo and she recognized it, he's retired Army and they instantly bonded. That really fits because she's supertight on security, and she doesn't put up with any misbehaving. Anyway my dad wouldn't even look at other apartments after coming here. He made the decision for my sister on the spot and they're on the waitlist.
As for the building, our lobby has been painted and updated, the apartments are in the process of getting upgraded and I just received a notice that we are getting an exterior paint job.
I agree that the pricing is steep but it's no higher than any other community in this location. The car alarms at times can be irritating, I'm on the front of the building too. That's not within the control of Ariel Court, if you're noise sensitive request an apartment on the back side of the building.
Overall this property has done a 180 and I have no hesitation recommending it. I'm staying for Grad school and renewing for another year in June.
Great management and building upkeep makes all the difference in the world and I think you'll agree when you see the place.
