Playa Del Oro

The fire alarms go off all the time throughout the day, so loud it’s painful to your ears. They just went off for 30 minutes last night at 3am waking everyone up, nothing has been done to fix this problems for months. They go off so frequently that people have started to disconnect their fire alarms, and Playa Del Oro’s response to that has been to send people into to EVERYONE’S apartments to inspect everyone’s fire alarms and completely invade our privacy. I WOULD NOT recommend this apartment... to anyone unless you do not value your ear drums and your sleep, my ears have been ringing all day because of this terrible apartment complex. Lee mas

The staff is unfriendly, unprofessional, and extremely unhelpful. They are overall unwilling to help if for example, your package is stolen (out of a secure package room) or you have questions about your lease. They brush you off and tell you they cant do anything. The apartments themselves are far from luxury and tiny. The floors are cheap and scratch easily and same with the paint which peels by itself (both of which are used to make sure they can take your $500 deposit). The appliances are... not that nice and are the same as what are found in LMU’s dorms. Utilities (aside from gas and electric) are charged by “community usage” but they do not provide a break down of these costs which seems extremely shady. You could pay only slightly more to live in an actual luxury apartment and well managed community Lee mas

This has been one of the worst experiences trying to move into these apartments. The staff was not the friendliest and they have very poor communication skills. If you apply They will automatically take your move in costs without ever telling you if you are approved or not. After notifying them that i never received word if i was approved before they took the holding deposit they told me that’s how it goes....The bad business from the beginning made my determining factor to not live here. If it... goes wrong in the beginning.....it will go wrong during the stay. Be very cautious Lee mas

We've been here two months and are ready to leave as soon as possible. Move in experience was terrible with my leasing consultant who was no help and couldn't be bothered with us. We never received a proper tour of the facility. No one showed us how to get to our apartment much less our parking spots. Move in day was a scavenger hunt for our apartment. The apartment was not properly cleaned prior to our move in, we had party decorations in our AC vent and food crumbs in the kitchen drawers. Now... we currently have roaches coming into our apartment from the trash room across the hall. There's also a roach infestation in the trash rooms in the basement. When we called to complain about it, they didn't seem surprised at all. We received no apology for the disgusting problem and didn't even get an explanation for it. The staff member we talked to didn't seem surprised by our complaint, it's as if this is the norm. We were told pest control would come the next day (we called on a Sunday) and no one showed up or called. So far this place is not worth the ridiculous rent. We wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It has been the worst experience thus far. Lee mas

Playa Del Oro apartments offers a great living experience in a great area of Los Angeles. It's location is great, minutes away from Venice/Santa Monica and also from Manhattan Beach. The secure building makes residents feel safe at home. I recommend living in this building to all of my friends, it is quiet, welcoming, beautifully designed, and it's location meets all of your needs!
