Boulevard

I’ve lived at this apartment for almost 2 years now and we’re definitely moving after our lease ends. My sister from out of town stayed for the night after she went out drinking. She parked at one of the guest parking overnight. Woke up the next day the car was missing. We later found out the car was towed. So the towing company charged us $290 and not the full $400 since they’ve only had for 11 MINUTES!!! We then went to the leasing office to see if they can help out since we’ve lived here for… almost 2 years and have had people stay over for the night without their cars being towed. The gentleman in the front just says that we needed to have a guest parking permit. My wife and I stays at the apartment so we only have 2 permits. I told the guy that and he just says, “well, you guys need to buy another parking spot.” I then asked him so we can’t have guests? He says no not really.

I really did like living in this place but everytime you need something from the main office for maintenance and billing questions. They are incapable of helping you. Read More

We rented the apartment sight unseen from the East Coast and it was the worst experience we could have had. During the move in inspection the apartment was infested with cockroaches and yet the only thing they offered was to have the apartment treated. When we moved in our son was a newborn and we had to endure over 6 months of roach treatment as they would treat our apartment and roaches would appear again from the apartment above ours. The apartment above was occupied by 8 students (in a two… bedroom apartment). This is a common thing in this community as these apartments are often rented to group of people. Our upstairs neighbors were finally evicted due to bed bug infestation. Another common problem in some of the apartments there. So if cockroaches and bed bugs were not enough, our apartment was broken into. Our apartment being on the first level and lacking proper window locks was broken into while I was putting our baby down for a nap during the afternoon. Only after having somebody inside our apartment did they install proper locks in our windows. So beware that it's a run down community with bug infestation and if you're lucky, somebody will break in during the day light. Read More

This apartment is not even worth considering in you search. Mu husband and I move from LA only to find out that the unit this apartment gave us wreaked of a smoking smell. When they realized the smell was too bad and they couldn't fix it, they asked us to move out. Not only was it just the smoking smell, the apartment exterior is not maintained at all, the trash is overflowing everyday and the management does not care about your concerns after you have signed a lease. They do not answer calls… or emails. Also, parking is definitely an issue if you have more than 1 car. My best and honest advise is look for another apartment. My husband and I are working professionals and were just looking for a decent place to live and unfortunately came across this apartment. Best of luck on your search but try to steer clear from Boulevard Apartments so this doesn't happen to you!! Read More

I am living here for a few years. Here are issues that I've had:
- We used to have big amount of apartments overcrowded with young guys living in groups of 6-10 people. Noise, parties, loud phone talks on balcony at 2 AM, smoking. At some point we had 4/8 apartments in the opposite building occupied with such groups. The issue got resolved a few months ago
- Roaches. We didn't have them before but have now (6 months). Landlords do not offer any solution except for "we'll have terminix come and… treat your apartment". This means, we have to pack ALL stuff from kitchen in bags and store in bedroom. It takes the whole evening to do that and whole weekend day to unpack it back and clear the kitchen. At some point, we just stopped unbagging things - lived in extremely uncomfortable environment with kitchen covered in poisonous chemicals and all plates stored in bags in bedroom.
- Noise again. Once we had students moved out, a lot of families with kids moved in. While most of them are super nice and friendly, some are different. One of apartments facing our bedroom prefers to send kids to bed closer to midnight - letting them to play and scream in front of open windows. Another has two waking up around 7 AM and starting to scream. They also scream during most of the day - but they have all rights to do that as "quiet policy" applies only to 10 PM - 8 AM (9 A on weekend) hours. So, we can't fall asleep early and can't wake up later. The management says "we have reminded them and they promised to keep the noise down" and a week later it happens again. Management also used a phrase "please keep in mind that it might be hot and kids want to have windows open". Exactly. So do we. Yet, we do not disturb our neighbors when our windows are open.
- This spring there was an issue with fire alarm (due to heavy rains) which went crazy and woke up the whole complex on Friday night. It happened every 4-6 hours and by Tuesday (when the issue finally got resolved) we all were extremely tired and stressed. During this weekend landlords replied only "we are having someone taking care of this" When I was driving back home from work I almost felt asleep because of that sleep deprivation.

The only positive thing I can mention is the lady who takes care of maintenance. She has a lot of things to take care of but always tries to do this nice, fast and in a professional manner. Read More
