Resident 2012

8/8/2013

I recently moved in to Broadstone Ladera in June, partially based on the reviews from this website. I am shocked to see how different the reviews look today so would like to give my input. When I first looked at the model apartment, I was slightly skeptical due to the apartments looking old on the exterior and they did not have a 1 bedroom to look at. However, once I saw the inside of it I loved it. The floorplan flows well and you can't beat the size and price. There are lots of trees and grass and they try to keep it as beautiful as possible. I decided a 1 bedroom would be a good choice due to location, size, and price. I do not regret my decision to this day. Let me address some of the issues other reviewers have had. As for the gates being open during business hours, I beleive it is better so anyone who has visitors can get in without opening and closing the gate every time. Also like another person stated, even at night when the gates are closed people can get in anyway by waiting for someone to open the gate. I do not understand why people believe security would prevent this in any way. I know multiple cops live on the property which makes me feel more safe and the fact that it is actually gate, which is rare in the area, makes me feel safe. As for people walking dogs, I dont see why this is an issue. It is known to all residents pets are allowed so the renter should have known dogs will be there. I don't think the size of the dog should matter as long as they are non-agressive. As for people using their balconies/patios as storage; it may look sloppy for the properties sake, but at the same time if it is not your patio why is it any of your concern what is on their patios? I keep my balcony clean myself, but am not going to be offended if my neighbor does not. The only problems I have had with the complex so far are pretty mild. My fridge has been leaking for the entire time we have been here. The ice from the freezer keeps melting into my fridge causing huge puddles at the bottom and they office keeps saying it is something I'm doing (it's not) but as long as its working fine I'm not crying over it. My A/C has been the worst problem, likely because they property is old and needs an upgrade in that department. My A/C first stopped working, then worked great, but ended up flooding my apartment. Then it worked fine again, but with the weather getting cooler I have not used it for a couple weeks. Although the flood was annoying, it happened while I was out and was already getting fixed by the time I got home. Since it was in the hallway as well, nothing was damaged so I figure no harm done. Ultimately some upgrades definitly are in order, but nothing major to complain about. I would absolutley recommend this property to a friend. It's very pretty, the people that live here are nice, and it truly feels like a home. Most importantly location location location. If you want to go on a walk, there is a beautiful golf course with a bike path behind the property, or you can go take a run in the gym. The pool area is beatiful (I have not gone swimming yet but is on my to do list, or at least hit the hot tub). Give the propety a change like I did and you will not regret it. Update: after all the maintenance issue's we chose to move out. I read recent reviews and was not happy to see the same review over and over again that looked like a robot could have wrote it. The office staff is okay but not anything to brag about by far. Maintenance is polite, but things go half fixed. Too bad, the floor plan is big and the place had potenetial, but not good enough for me to stay.
