Resident 2011 - 2012

7/11/2012

Pros: Units are New York City contemporary style which consists of very well designed interiors. The retail real estate in downtown Anaheim is now managed by "Lab Associates" the owners of the Lab and Camp in Costa Mesa. Cons: There is a general sense of lack of care from the building management from the managers in the office to the maintenance people who barely keep the building clean. (cleanliness is also hampered by the people and kids who vandalize/trash the building constantly). The parking is one space (regardless of if you have a 1 or 2 bed unit), which leaves you parking across the street in a city structure or in the neighborhood across the other street. There is also no guest parking available for more than 2 hours from 7am-7pm. Don't get a unit facing the street because the windows are just double paned and the building is in a busy downtown area between the police station and a fire station. (example: you can hear people talking on the sidewalk below your unit.) Safety: contractors and other residents constantly leave the gate and door open. Ive had things stolen from the garage and I know other people have too. They have a "security guard" who wanders all of downtown. Plan on waiting at least 3 months for any appliance to be fixed if it breaks, and asking more than once. The building also falls victim to the city, as they book several large events in the neighborhood without considering us; their residents and direct neighbors to city hall. Such as marathons that literally block your car in the building for 5 hours. The last one was 7am-noon It all really boils down to bad management. Hopefully some day management will take residents concerns seriously. Don't take my word for it though, if you visit this property be sure to walk down the hallways and public areas that they might not guide you to, and make your own judgement on the maintenance/ cleanliness of the building. Other Disclosures: some residents don't get cell phone service in their apartment and resort to making calls in the courtyard. Time Warner is the only cable option for the building. Why I continue renting here: It's fairly inexpensive for the quality of the actual unit. And its a few blocks from my job. And I retain hope for a better tomorrow.
