I have lived here for eight months and have been begging for a solution to my ongoing concerns. The building is made very poorly and you are able to hear every noise from the neighbors. NOISE IS A HUGE ISSUE AMONG ALL TENANTS HERE. I hear my neighbor...

Living here is really the best. Everyone is so kind, it is always clean, we are right in the center of all the cool happenings in Playa Vista, and there is always something new to try. I would highly recommend living here!!

Management is terrible. Dirty and disgusting in places. Used COVID as an excuse to slack on maintenance. Way overpriced. Appliances are crappy at this price point. Nickel and dime you - including “after” you leave billed fees for cleaning - even ...

Beautiful grounds, excellent location, modern units. Depending on actual unit, you may be subject to noise from ongoing construction. Unable to use amenities due to COVID, yet still pay full rent.

Loud, constant drilling, banging, sawing DIRECTLY below the floor! NOT family-friendly. Expensive. This is NOT a good combination for temporary housing, but this is what you can expect if you stay there. My family chose to stay in the Bedford Corpora...

I wish I could say that management has performed well during covid, but unfortunately, they have withdrawn into their cave, pretty much eliminated common area maintenance (garbage cans are overflowing in the common areas and garage and garbage blows ...

Lovely area, bad management. Overpriced.

The packages, mail, food and grocery delivery are a mess in this building. The management has recently added key fob readers in the elevators, so the delivery people can not come upstairs. The funny part is that their "security" measure is totally us...

not safe, many people not wearing a mask and it's not enforced. Official policy of management is that "Facemasks are FASHIONABLE!!" Signs that used to say face masks are required were replaced by signs that say "Face masks are fashionable, and prefer...

The community and area, feels like a family. Its safe, secure and such a positive place to live and work. The convenience of shops, restaurants and most importantly, greenspaces for being active and walking dogs makes it one of the best locations in ...

Only because I can walk to work do I stay here. Playa Vista has so many better options and I keep looking for someplace else to move to while I'm still here. You can hear the traffic on Jefferson over a block away. They buy good reviews and you shoul...

Over priced, small, cheaply made apartments about sums it all up.

We've been at Runway Playa Vista since 2015 and love it just as much as the day we moved in! We came here for the beach modern architecture, multiple resort-style pools, gyms and common work/entertaining areas. We've stayed because we continue to enj...

Runway Playa Vista is a terrific place to live and even more conveniently located than I thought it would be. The grounds are beautiful and immaculate but do so without feeling stuffy the building has a very welcoming and comfortable vibe. The floor ...

No stop fire alarms, now retail alarms, construction at all hours, and a staff that could not care less about any of these concerns. Nothing is luxury here.

Devin Guinn

Run far away from Runway. Want more details? Message me. 4+ year tenant - don't want to tarnish their good name in public.

S. Andy Shaffer

Absolutely awful. Construction, weekly fire alarms and now also retail alarms throughout the night because no one can figure out how to turn them off. Please tell me what about these units is ‘luxury’.

Absolutely awful. Non stop construction and weekly fire alarms going off. This place is a nightmare to live in. Would say it’s recent, but it’s been going downhill for years. Constant changes in management, both at the leasing office and retail, ...

The outdoor landscaping is attractive. The buildings are adjacent to WF and other shops. There is a mine park with a pond, outdoor seating. It features a climbing dome for children.

I love living at Runway, Playa Vista. Spectacular management and maintenance staff and a beautiful community.. My apartment home is my sanctuary, sitting on my patio, enjoying the wonderful weather and location, always consider this a blessing!

Runway Apartment's amenities are top notch and plentiful, the staff is amazingly friendly and responsive and you can't beat living near the beach.

Maintenance staff is always polite and true professionals.

This is a wonderful place to live. Love it here . Been here 18 months And it doesnt get much better than this unless your on an island vacation

A lot of issues that should have been addressed prior to moving in .

I like the community and it is very clean. The staff are very friendly and attentive to your needs. The only thing I'd like to note is although the apartments are dog friendly, there are some nights where there is a lot of barking late at night.

Do NOT move here unless you want the thieves in the leasing office opening and damaging your personal mail and packages!! Even if your packages are delivered in person to the leasing office, the leasing agents and managers can NOT be trusted! :(

This place looks great. Until you see how poorly constructed the building is. Less than 2 years old, and most finishes are peeling. The garage door is broken every few weeks, as are the elevators. Fire alarms are tripped by retail almost weekly. The ...

Great staff in leasing office - always helpful. In particular the staff that go above and beyond the call of duty are Ashley, Gina, Debbie and Karla - but everyone is great. The property is well kept and tidy.

The shine of a new building has worn off. Multiple changeovers in the leasing staff means no one knows who you are when there is an issue, nor do they even bother responding to email requests. For the price point, finishes are super cheap. Cabinet do...

We have recommended Runway to our near by neighbors from nearby apartment buildings who are reaching their end of their leases.

I'd recommend the community because of the location and Runway's retail space proximity. I'd also recommend it because it does feel safe. And I'd recommend it because the apartments themselves are quite pretty. But I would definitely caution people t...

Love living here. Its expensive but you get what you pay for. They are not perfect but they do the best they can to make it interesting and safe. Ive been here for 6 months and its been really great.

I have lived here 2 months now. It's ironic as I was one of the original home owners in Playa Vista 14 years ago. This place sure has come a long way. Just a great location with great neighbors. I love having all of the restaurants and shops right ou...

I would recommend for the location and amenities. I would not recommend for price or anyone looking for a smooth transition. There are still some kinks to work out with the leasing office.

It feeling like a small town is extremely desirable. Plus having staff respond to needs so well. If there is an issue, they handle it in a prompt and timely manner.

Overall the positive generally outweighs the negative. I have had friends look at living at Runway on there own and per my recommendation but the response has been the same: it is definitely considered overpriced. In talking with friends in the commu...

As this is a smoke free facility, maybe more crackdown on them as they discard them on the sidewalk and lawns. Traffic is very fast through the area and coming down the ramp to the lower parking lot we have almost been hit 5 times as there is a blind...

I'd say that you get what you pay for in the area. But most people's jaw drop when they hear what rent is for a 1/1.

Yes Would recommend but Rent are high compared to surrounding communities.

Review System T.

I think the area speaks for itself. I would fill them in on the details (like the dirty floors, etc) but the place is very dig friendly, people friendly, and is overall a great place to live.

Review System T.

Rent is really on the edge of "fair value". Perilously close to crossing over to the "too expensive" range,

Review System T.

It's difficult to strongly recommend due to the Runway value proposition of luxury beach living against the asking price.

Review System T.

Beautiful apartments. Amazing location. Fantastic staff (office and maintenance.)

Review System T.

I would definitely recommend this apartment complex not because of the leasing personnels but because of the location, amenities and maintenance. I just really hope they don't have to talk to the leasing office during their stay.

Runway Playa is great for families and community. I would recommend to anyone interested in living here.
