The Joshua

I moved here three months ago and it has been an enjoyable experience. Keith, the manager has been great in dealing with some small misunderstandings. The rooms are newly renovated and appliances are in great condition. The maintenance and public area housekeeping is very friendly. The pool area is empty on weekdays and other tenants I've seen at the pool are generally friendly. The building is all ages. Washing machines are convenient and hardly ever full... they require a credit card, so… no more looking for quarters. Read More

I'm a long time resident, the building is the best on the block by far..... Beautifully painted exterior, massive rooftop patio with pool and hottub accompanied byviews of Los angeles downtown skyline. The building is kept relatively clean and there's spacious parking lots a upper and lower garage. The grounds are professionally managed by well meaning staff and maintenance crew. As long time resident I've seen many changes over the years apartments regularly upgraded every 5 years or so.… There are a lot of apartments, so there is a bit of this revolving door of ppl moving in and out on frequent basis. I've had at times celebrity neighbors and few established entertainment industry people over the years. Also over the years I've seen other apartments renovated and upgraded but ours with very little change over the course or almost 20 years not even a fresh coat of paint. The entire exterior of the building gets a face lifted but out floor plan as no repairs scheduled and requests fall of deaf ears. A reasonable thing would be to move but because the economy and my son being special needs we have to remain in the school district to receive the service he needs so we sacrifice and it is a minor thing really. For a while the rent was right for our budget... Until the rent increases began to roll in one after the other and our list of repairs are met with bandaid solutions. it is in all intents and purposes a four-star apartment building but to their long time tenants we are told renovations are only for vacated apartments. A policy that ignores their most loyal of customers who have had never a late payment in almost 2 decades. The events that happened recently is what motivated this review was but another rent increase nearly $200, I had to pushback in doing this I had a discussion were I discovered that they wanted us to pay $100 more month for a apartment I'm disrepair than they were giving new tenants for fully renovated apartments. Infuriated and frustrated but still without alternative options I signed a new lease. If you are a new tenant you will be treated like a king or queen but if you have demonstrated long time loyalty you will be put off indefinitely or pacified with a Band-Aid solution to your legitimate complaints. Four star building with a one star heart Read More
