Villas at Valley Glen

WOW. WHAT A GREAT 2 BEDROOM APARTMENT! THE MANAGER WAS SO NICE! THE UNITS ARE HUGE! AND THEY ACCEPT MY DOGS!!! WHAT A GREAT EXPIERENCE I HAD DOING A WALK THROUGH TO VIEW THIS BUILDING. I AM SO EXCITED, I APPLIED. HOPEFULLY, I WILL BE A NEW TENANT CALLING VILLAS MY NEW HOME!

I read the comments here and wanted to be sure to give my experience and opinions.

It is quite true that it took a while for the building to be "ready for move-in" and also it did take while for the pool area to be complete. We received several emails plenty of times with updated information and altho there were delays, it was due to multiple factors-- weather, etc.

I agree the gym area is not adequate for exercising fully. One of the perks of being in this building is being able to have a gym... that offers a supply of equipment to avoid paying gym fees. There is absolutely no equipment for the chest and no dumbbells. The equipment is large and a bit outdated for a new building.

Management has been very responsive to my emails of any concerns or complaints whether through email or phone calls. I think Patty is absolutely great!

The walls of the building are thin. One can hear sounds from neighbors' apartments quite well when walking down the hallways etc. And you can hear the pipes when showers are running, or the disposal, or other noises. The refrigerator makes noises every now and then as well. The alarms are overly sensitive, so when pre-heating the oven, it has sounded occasionally.

The elevators and the door have been inoperable at the beginning of moving in (May 2019) but after some time, they were fixed and there hasn't been a problem. Being a new building, one could expect some flaws due to bad wiring (which some re-wiring did occur)

The apartment itself is nice, clean, comfortable and new. The layout is open and welcoming if you have guests. While there is occasional noise from inconsiderate neighbors who let their apartment doors slam, walk extremely heavy, or banging all the time as if building things, it is relatively quiet. EXCEPT...

There is construction of a new building happening next to this one, so depending on where u are in the building, this can be annoying if you sleep later that 7am. The construction typically stops around 3 or 4pm however and is not so loud every day. Ear plugs are great tho lol

Overall, I am happy to live in this apartment complex with the responsive management. Altho, there are things I would like different: a better equipt gym, more secure parking, and less noisy neighbors-- the latter comes with apartment living in LA constructed buildings and I cant blame the management for that!

I’ve been living at the Villas at Valley Glen for a year now. I really like it. I was looking to see if they had a studio available for a friend and I happen to see the reviews. While there were a few hiccups when the new building opened. They got everything worked out and the place is great. Before I rented I looked at about 20 apartments. Most were older and some had a smell to them. This place was brand new. It’s been open 9 months now and it still looks and smells brand new. The... pool is heated. I swam last week. The gym has nice equipment, I use the cardio a few days a week. The dog path around the building is lit, so I can walk Shirley when I get off work. The property manager is older, but a nice lady. I wish they had studio available for my BFF. Hope this helps the next person. We all need to give reviews, so everyone knows what they’re going to get. Read More

Some of these comments are not fully delivering all the information. I put a deposit down in January for a promised finished apartment in March, this did not happen and was pushed multiple times, until finally in May we we’re giving the OK to move in. When that day came, to my surprise the pool /spa/ deck / grills/ and gym were still not done. The gym is now “finished” but has specialized equipment targeting the same part of the body and no real diversity in machines. Construction has been... constant but on what? The pool/ deck/ grilling area are still not done (oct 21), and I have no indication coming from management that it will be finished within the year. A shame that I am paying for these amenities yet am not able to actually enjoy them. On top the elevators go out constantly, if it’s not the front door broken it’s the gate to the garage, and the security for the building is non existent as anyone can climb a fence into the empty lots surrounding the building and jump the stone wall into the garage.

One of the two elevators has been not working for 3 days. The pool and hot tub are not available to use 6 months after moving in . And these were two main selling points on the bldg . There are numerous washer/dryer, ovens, air conditioning issues with the bldg. the landlord will not allow any direct communication so we are unable to try and get things resolved
