Sun Harbour Apartments

My husband and I have lived at Sun Harbour Apartments for almost six years. We're now moving out only because we're expecting a newborn and need a larger place. Overall, we’ve really enjoyed our time here.
Jill and the management team are professional and responsive. They take safety seriously—there are surveillance cameras around the complex, and they take proactive measures to keep the community secure. (I won’t go into details here for safety reasons.) They even move packages left near the... mailboxes to a locked pickup area. We’ve always felt safe living here.
The common areas are kept clean, and my maintenance requests have always been handled promptly after I emailed. Whenever there was planned work that required a water shut-off, I received advance notice every time. There’s also an annual inspection, and the maintenance staff has always been professional. For example, during the last inspection, they changed the battery in our carbon monoxide detector within five minutes.
The laundry room is another big plus—there are about 20 washers and 20 dryers, and I rarely had to wait for machines. All the machines were upgraded a couple of years ago and are cleaned weekly.
The neighbors here are wonderful too—friendly, polite, and quiet. The neighborhood is nice and safe, and I often enjoyed walking to the nearby park and stores.
I even noticed they install new vinyl flooring in the living room when renovating units for new tenants (I really wished we had that too!).
If you're looking for a place to live, I definitely recommend checking out Sun Harbour Apartments! Read More

Stay away unless QUIET + patient. Manager Jill is friendly for the lease signing, and beyond rude and unprofessional when you move in. Jobs are done without warning which shut off water, block parking and produce noise in the morning. If you need maintenance, expect weeks of wait unless you pester. Recommended only to shut-ins who'll trade a tree outside their window and a hot tub (which the same neighbor uses during peak hours EVERY day) for absentee management.

I remember the first time I toured Sun Harbour, it was beautiful. I loved the greenery and how well maintained it was. My apartment was huge and LOTS of closet space. Plenty of washers and dryers! I loved how quiet and peaceful it was. J I L L was a great manager. She was always attentive when any issues came up. She was always friendly to me and my cats.

I got majority of my deposits back!

The yearly rent increases to the maximum amount allowed by the city is 8.6% . Equity Management Co. Raises the rent on this complex yearly to to at least 8%. The fact that tenants have a laundry room where machines are swapped out twice a year and the fact Management ( J I L L ) is more concern with harassing tenants than fixing the repairs in units, fitness room, and laundry roo. is nothing new after living here awhile. Not worth the money or headache

This apartment complex is great for the quiet crowd. As a gated apartment complex, it provides a feeling of security that a single female straight out of college greatly appreciates when moving here from several states over. It's also great for small families.

Included: Water, Dishwasher, mailbox, parking space, pool/hot tub access, sauna access (though I believe they're only single to two-person stalls; not many people use them), access to an on-site "gym" (if I remember correctly, it's a... treadmill and one set of weights), and access to the BBQ's and patio lounge area.

NOT included: washer/dryer (they're on-site, and there are plenty of them, but the laundry rates are comparable to a laundromat's), fridge, internet, TV (note: the two TV options readily available to subscribe to in this location are TWC and Verizon Fios)

The rooms are spacious, and the kitchens and bathroom areas look quite nice (with faux granite surface, instead of the typical white or wood surface that makes so many apartment kitchens look super small). This location is roughly 2 miles from the Redondo Marina/beach, and it's conveniently located within walking distance of the Galleria mall, several grocery stores, MacDonald's (which is right across the street), and more.

Note: There's an extra deposit required per cat residing with you (no dogs, as far as I know).

This is a peaceful apartment complex where neighbors don't often hang out and interact like family but will politely greet each other in passing. In order to keep everyone happy, there are management-enforced rules forbidding residents from playing loud music outside in the common areas (even if live jam sessions), so no parties allowed.

If you are seeking a young party place where being loud and obnoxious is the norm and/or is highly encouraged, you might want to look a little closer to the Hermosa Pier.

However, if you're looking for a place that's well-maintained, has an extra level of security, has a large common patio area with plenty of lounge furniture, is peaceful at night (and in general throughout the day as well), and is a convenient location, then this may be the place for you. Read More
