Residences at Gracie Mansion

I had my motor scooter stolen by another resident and the landlord wrote me up for "letting strangers on the property" .....she's the one with the broken pedestrian gate that lets anyone come in and out as they please.

I can’t say enough good things about Gracie Mansion. The property manager and maintenance manager are phenomenal, responsive, and trustworthy.
The apartments themselves are a steal. They have tons of storage, laminated hardwood floors, and lots of little amenities you don’t usually get in an apartment, especially somewhere downtown.
I’ve seen other reviews mention a roach problem, and that’s definitely not the case anymore (I wouldn’t stand to live here if it were).
The 2-in-1 washer dryer is... amazing. If you use a high efficiency detergent and don’t stuff it to the gills it will wash and dry your clothes in 2 hours flat. It’s amazing and is bizarrely quiet.
The property itself is stunning and quiet. The community deck is right next to the pool and is covered by an enormous, beautiful tree. The mansion is centered in the complex and is lovely. It’s shockingly the quietest apartment I’ve ever lived in. I genuinely forget that it’s downtown and near the freeway.
The tenets are quiet and friendly. It’s both a great apartment to make friends in, or to forget that you have neighbours at all.
If you’re looking for an apartment in LR I can’t recommend Gracie Mansion enough. Lee mas

It felt too good to be true, finding a complex with this kind of space downtown for this price, and in some ways that’s true. For the price, the units are about what you’d expect. It struggles a bit with a roach problem, but management does make sure someone comes to spray when requested. They’re a pet friendly property which I appreciate, the maintenance man is always great with our pets when he stops by and I trust him coming through when we’re not there. The washer-dryer units are RV style... abominations, ours breaks at least once a month and even when it’s working, it takes it a solid 5-8 hours to finish washing and drying a load (invest in an ironing board, is all I gotta say). The central HVAC also breaks/malfunctions more often than feels reasonable, but maintenance will usually fix it in a timely manner. Overall, it’s a solid place for someone on a budget looking for something comfortable and cheap. Lee mas

The value of this property is great! It is walkable to the river market area as well as MacArthur Park. Betty and Larry are very helpful- work orders are completed quickly and painlessly!

There is a roach infestation in most if not all of the buildings. The maintenance person and manager are extremely unprofessional and rude once you sign the lease and actually move in. In addition, the properties are not maintained (for example they were dirty when we moved in including the carpet not being shampooed as we were told it would be).
