Resident 2010

9/10/2010

I relocated to Los Angeles from the Midwest ten years ago and have since moved frequently in hopes of finding that perfect place. The Encore is that place. Where I come from, neighbors talk to one another and say hi. Ever gotten into an elevator with someone you didn't know and had to ride it in awkward silence? That doesn't happen at The Encore. The staff are friendly and helpful. They have a coffee bar that's open daily where they provide free coffee and water all day long. Why? Because they want you to stop in and say hi. I've never had a landlord or management company that cared so much about getting to know its tenants. They try to create a sense of community by organizing pool parties, boat races, board game nights; and everyone and anyone is invited. At The Encore, you can be as involved or uninvolved as you want. The amenities are pretty fantastic as well. The pool and hot tub are a great place to lay out or meet up with a neighbor for a cold beer (in a plastic cup, of course) and some fun in the sun. The gym offers cardio equipment and weight machines, as well as exercise balls and dumbbells. There is a media center with computers and free printing; a racquetball/basketball court; a sauna; a nighttime security guard; and a lounge by the pool that is available for parties or other social gatherings. It includes a plasma tv, refrigerator and lounge furniture. Finally, though guest parking is limited in the front there is more than adequate parking available on the side street (no permit required). Are there cons? Yes, of course. It's a large building with roughly 150 units. Noise can sometimes be a factor. Especially if you're over the pool or adjacent to the courtyard. Luckily, closing your doors and windows will solve this problem fast. Closing your blinds will also help you if you happen to see that woman in the courtyard standing naked in her window. She's kind of a loon. But really, in a building of 150 units you have to expect to find at least one!
