The staff is great to work with regardless if it was during the leasing process or obtaining delivered packages. The complex is very well kept and the apartment was spotless moving in.

Clean

Mona

This place has a nice staff and the location is great however the package system has to be re evaluated. I am not the only resident who has had issues with missing packages.

Ali

Pro: Good location, clean, close to Ralph grocery store, Starbucks, school and beach. W/D in unit, hardwood floor and security gate. Unfortunately, too many homeless around community screaming at night and wake you up.

Chloe

The location is quiet, but close to a lot of things to do. The maintenance team responds quickly. The walls are thick concrete so I rarely ever hear a sound from neighbors.

Quy Thi

The apartment community is good with a lot of friendly people. The only thing that I think the apartment needs to work on is making the maintenance faster in a way that they dont spend months fixing something.

Nonna

The problem has some maintenance issues upon moving in. The ventilator in the shower will not turn off. The apartment is spacious, and the staff is really nice

Sherwan

I've enjoyed my time at AO. Love our apartment and the area. Only hiccups are the elevator issues that happen quite and some treadmills that are not working. My dog loves it here.

Been here for 11 years and Bozzuto is by far the best, warmest management team! There is no hesitation when I need maintenance and always assistance available if I have questions regarding rent. I don't plan on going anywhere!

New management is amazing. Helpful and hardworking. Keep apartment complex clean and safe. When we call the office for any reason they answer and follow up as soon as Possible

Overall the experience here is great. I think some of the appliances should be replaced/renovated considering the price of rent here, but I have no major complaints.

People smoke marijuana, dogs pee in hallways, crazy people keep yelling in hallways (Mostly on weekends). Parking is good and secure. Apartments are clean with hardwood floor and W/D in unit.

The new maintenance team had a hard start but I see the change. Looking forward to the future changes. Also thank you for keeping the food trucks... We love it. I'm excited for the new color scheme.

Clean apartments, hardwood floors, W/D inside units. Panoramic view, close to grocery store and school. Walking distance to metro. Starbucks, restaurant under the building.

Jason

I am enjoying it so far, for the most part. We moved in on Saturday, but our AC unit was broken when we arrived. It is annoying because AC was a big selling point for us, and we have yet to use it, because it was broken before we moved in.

Jessica

We've had a wonderful experience so far! There is plenty of storage between the outside closet, big bedroom closet, bathroom cabinets and hallway door closet. Love the package concierge too, so much better than packages just being left on the street.

Verified Resident

It’s been okay. I wish other residents were more mindful of their surroundings regarding trash and noise volume. It is overpriced for what the building truly is. Closed amenities, trashy hallways, unruly neighbors.

So far, so good. Management has been responsive to maintenance requests. But theft of packages is an annoying problem. The hallways are horrible.

I have been enjoying my time here so far. But the pool is so cold! Not what was advertised to me. Other than that, it's been pleasant. It is a bit noisy on the side I live with the street but not the apartments fault.

So far I love living here at Ao apt the community is very universal it's quiet and really vibrant. I love seeing the elderly ladies enjoy there day out at the pool side.

AO Apartments is a very good located place to stay at. The only thing i think they could change is the open hours at the pool during the weekends.

AO is great. The only thing I wish was different was that the dog park was cleaned up more and people were held responsible when they do not clean up after their pets.

Amazing community and amenities. Beautiful furnishings in the renovated apartments and surrounding common area. Best living west of the 405.

I love it here. Just wish they would do more activities for kids. Like host an easter egg hunt or have an art activity once a week. I think it will help the little kids get find one another.

Doing good in general, we could use more security in the building, may be more cameras to upscale security in the hallways and for sure a camera in the bicicle cage, so far they have stolen 3 of my bikecicles

Very close to Santa Monica College and Ralph's, so I save a lot of time. It is also close to the Third Street and the beach. I can easily go there and hang out. I really like the pool and gym as well.

Pro: Great location. Great office management. Cons: Constant construction in the building. Hallways and garbage areas are more often than not filled with some trash or spill. Neutral: Expensive but for its location, not bad.

Sophie

Great amenities, especially parking! The only downside is they make you pay a one-off 15 dollars to get your mail and a late fee every time you don't pick it up within 2 days, which is a very short time for people who lead busy lives or travel.

Alexandra

Big down side is that they make you pay to sign up for a package concierge service, and most of the delivery people don't know about it. So you pay $15 and then have most of your packages delivered to your door anyway (and stolen). They also charge y...
