Volta on Pine is an average apartment complex. The unit was clean upon move in, appliances all functional, however, it seemed as though our unit was broken into through the porch (there’s chipped paint in the doorway suggesting someone trying to get in and wires were pulled out of the WiFi box in the closet). The heating/cooling system is nice. Sink, and cabinets are poorly designed. I love the high ceilings for the aesthetic however our unit was missing the pull down curtains for the top... windows so during the late afternoon, there was no way to avoid a glare on the tv or brightness in the unit. Room and living room are small, ample room for two people to live but definitely not large enough to host more than five people.
There’s usually one elevator down in the lobby. The gym is fine, has usual equipment. Tv in yoga room doesn’t work. The lock on the gym door never worked so anyone can come in and out if they come into the building. The door leading to the hallway of my unit doesn’t have a doorknob so it’s propped open. There’s a mailroom but you have to get the code from management. The parking garage have had break ins (not me thank goodness), the parking stalls are really small. We had a horrible fruit fly problem during the summer, the garage room on our floor had been left full for over three months, so that was probably to worst thing we experienced while here.
There’s pool area is nice, typical pool spa and bbq area. Many loud parties during the summer. Top floor sky room is my favorite amenity, offers awesome view of San Pedro and LA. Great for a little quiet moment to clear your head or someplace to have coffee or your dinner. The location is awesome, walking distance from food, groceries, shopping, entertainment.
Id say Volta on Pine is exactly a ok place to live. If you’re looking for someplace nice enough to lay your head, a hub for going out and exploring Long Beach, then this place is fine. The amenities, cleanliness, and apartment offerings are average to below average depending on the day but never consistently clean and kept up. The lobby/office always looked squeaky clean, but the trash rooms, trash cans, parking garage and stairway to parking garage are always some kind of gross. I’d recommend it for a person/couple/roommates on the go, I wouldn’t recommend it for families or long term living, or anyone concerned with trash piling up.
