Ladera Apartment Homes

Good, nice apartment, little thin walls though. The gate and the valet trash are nice and efficient, apartment area is clean. It is sometimes a bit hard to get into the apartment because we are right on I-35

Great staff and community lots of amenities and great people living there I wish there was more parking but overall it is a great place to live

This place is a nightmare disguised as “luxury living.” The grounds are filthy, trash and dog waste everywhere, dumpsters constantly overflowing, and valet trash pickup is inconsistent at best. The gates are broken 95% of the time, so anyone can wander in. I’ve seen homeless people, drunk men, and even strangers knocking on doors harassing women. Specifically drunk men walking up to the 3rd and 4th floors, Knocking on doors, asking to speak to the women inside or if the women can come to the… door. Strangers pack the pool at night and leave once the party’s over, while “security” is nowhere to be found.

The so-called amenities are dangerous or useless. The dog park has no rules or enforcement, and my dog was attacked within the first month. The “dog wash” has broken stairs and no mats, making it unsafe. I was told it used to have a blow dryer, but then somebody stole it. Landscaping crews spray pesticides all over, leaving dead squirrels, birds, and mice scattered throughout the property. The gym was missing equipment for 6 months because somebody stole all the weights. Treadmills barely work, and the Peloton bikes they advertise have never worked once since I’ve been here.

Maintenance is severely understaffed. Requests take weeks or months, pest control for a massive wasp nest on my patio took an entire month.

Don’t be fooled by “easy I-35 access”. It takes 10 minutes just to leave the property and nearly an hour to get back in traffic. Don’t have a car or are you going out and don’t wanna drive? Be prepared to wait 10 to 15 minutes for an Uber if one even shows up.

On holidays, fireworks are set off in the complex, and management will tell you they’re looking into it and never follows up.

Noise complaints are met with “Well, we gave them a warning. There’s not much more we can do.” The only way to resolve the situation (break my lease no fee) was if I called the cops on them and reported them enough times. I’ve not had a proper night sleep in two months because my upstairs neighbors make excessive noise between the hours of 9 PM and 6 AM. I hear them stomping and screaming and what sounds like rearranging furniture.

I’ve never had a late payment, I’m positively involved in the community, and I’m generally a very understanding and patient person. In my 12 years of renting, I’ve never broken a lease until now. Ladera is unsafe, unsanitary, and completely mismanaged. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere. Read More

So far it’s been pretty good but there have been way too many bugs on the ground floor and have already lost one package. The garbage people are sometimes inconsistent too which makes it hard to know what they will or won’t take. But other than that, great!
