Hollywood Station

what a huge mistake it was to rent a apartment in this bulding. they claim to be luxury when it is far from that. The main problem is the promiximty to the train tracks where freight trains come every few hours and the brightline high speed train that just started services come thru evevery 30 minutes and the trains come 24 hours a day and blow horn when passing and you never have any peace even with windows shut and AC ON the building shakes when trains go by. In addition the building has... very compalning neighbors and the fire alarm goes off in middle of night and they have hard time shutting it down and always false alarm.

Not recommended! Our experience here was unpleasant, and we are glad to be living elsewhere. The property looks attractive, but the quality of construction is terrible.

Many people who live in the community do not take pride in their surroundings. The trash and recycling bins were particularly unpleasant. We moved out as soon as our lease was up. Toward the end, we were counting the days. Read More
