2008-07-13T23:49:38-06:00

Promenade Towers: luxury???? (Not Recommending)

2008-05-14T20:13:12-06:00

From edwardmna: Promenade towers should immediately remove the title "luxury" from their name. Maybe it was once considered as "luxury," when it was erected in the 1970's, but that is no more.

Promenade Towers: Lousy, horrible, nightmare (Not Recommending)

2008-01-13T23:26:48-06:00

2008-05-07T08:47:04-06:00

Promenade Towers: Pretty decent living situation, decent bargain (Recommending!)

2007-03-27T23:04:37-06:00

From greenfly: Ok, so Promenade Towers is not perfect. For the price, though, it's pretty good. The apartment does not smell like vomit and it's not loud. On the contrary, it's a pleasant and even tranquil place to study. There are tons of students here, mostly from USC, but they're not the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Promenade Towers: Not bad for the price (Recommending!)

2007-02-23T13:59:02-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived there for a year and my experience wasn't bad. My apt faced the courtyard and was on the 9th floor so I didn't hear much noise.

2007-02-05T06:42:27-06:00

From bobinthailand@hotmail.com: I have not had serious problems there.

Promenade Towers: This Place SUCKS! (Not Recommending)

2006-07-28T14:07:12-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The water does get shut off...a lot! About 3-4 times a month, which is too much.

This is a great place ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-04-19T20:23:06-06:00

Promenade Towers: SLUM LIVING (Not Recommending)

2006-04-11T00:00:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is a slum. It looks good when you are taken on the "tour". The office is nicely decorated and air-conditioned and the management is so polite and deferential.

Promenade Towers: AVOID AT ALL COSTS (Not Recommending)

2005-05-13T16:16:54-06:00

2003-07-09T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This large complex could have the potential to be a nice place to live. However, in reality, current management has totally run down this place. I doubt it´s intentional, but it´s more from incompetence. The current on-site manager is not suited for this job.

2003-06-23T00:00:00-06:00

From TomAesop: Once luxury apartmwents, financial troubles have made the Towers gouge residents in recent years with anything they possibly can.
