Both the interior and exterior of this 1960s apartment were renovated about 2 years ago, and I believe the management changed around the same time, too. When I first saw the apartment, I had no idea what the place would look like post-renovation, but I saw the new interior of several units, liked it, and decided to move in because it was such a bargain for this part of town. The 1-bedroom units are spacious with plenty of storage space, have modern kitchens equipped with brand-new stainless steel appliances, and have these cool, green-tinted, doubled-paned floor-to-ceiling windows. Before deciding on this apartment, I looked at many other (more expensive) places, but they were smaller and had inconvenient parking for guests (ie. no street parking). I wish that we had central AC (the wall unit is new but noisy) and a bigger and better elevator, but the positives of the apartment definitely outweigh the negatives. As for the tenants, they are an eclectic group of seniors, working class folks, and young professionals. The tenants who have moved in more recently are the younger, hipper yuppie types. As for the management, they are responsive and pleasant, and I have not had any issues with them. Overall, the building is quiet and, aside from the occasional noise from the swimming pool in the summer, I rarely hear my neighbors. This is not a fancy building and its tiny, old elevator still needs work, but it has its own quirky charm. If you're looking for a decent, spacious apartment that isn't overpriced, this place is great. Plus, you can't beat the location--one block away from LACMA and minutes away from Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Century City!
