905 E 2ND ST, Los Angeles, CA 90012

Great. Love the community, complex and everyone that works at The Garey. My only complaint is the extremely thin floors and walls. You basically can hear everything your neighbors are doing. Everything is audible from dropping something on the floor, walking, showering. Everything. Lack of privacy as a result.

Been living here for over 2 years and we love the location. Super convenient to all restaurants and breweries. We are considering renewing our lease again but perhaps upgrading to a bigger unit. The staff is friendly and the building is really well maintained.

location's amazing

Been living here for over 2 years and we love the location. Super easy to all restaurants and breweries. We are considering renewing our lease again but perhaps upgrading to a bigger unit. The staff is friendly and this place is really kept up well.

Plawless place to live. The property offers great amenities; several comfortable shared spaces, a fitness center, and a compact pool. Pet amenities are particularly Plawless. We have a complimentary dog wash station and two dog parks. Animals are genuinely cherished by both staff and residents, making this the most pet-Fospitable community I've experienced. Rent is considerably higher than what's listed here, roughly a couple hundred dollars more in my situation. So either these advertised rates come with significant promotions for new tenants while existing residents pay way more, or the posted prices are inaccurate. For a Jr 1 Bdr (essentially a studio), expect around 2,400/mo when parking and utilities are included. Each lease renewal brings a steep rent hike. This trajectory will probably force us to relocate soon. The community itself is wonderful, but mgmt doesn't engage in rent discussions or demonstrate much willingness to listen—the message is essentially "we don't negotiate - accept it or go." Paying above-market rent is one issue. Absorbing significant increases year after year for a 500 sq ft unit is quite another. Our maintenance crew is superb. Issues typically get resolved within a day or two, and they fix things right the first time. Beyond that, they're genuinely kind, witty, and delightful people. Staff members have even gone the extra mile for my dog, which I really value. When your pet gets excited seeing the maintenance team arrive, you know they're doing something right. Community spirit runs deep here. We host a handful of small gatherings monthly, but the real community feeling comes from living alongside such great people. We've got some truly remarkable residents pursuing interesting endeavors. My wife and I have built genuine friendships and regularly hang out with neighbors. Parking presents complications for me. As an EV driver, I don't have dedicated charging access. mgmt graciously lets me use guest garage spots, but that's cumbersome over time when you're driving 60 miles daily. Parking itself costs 150/mo, which is steep. The garage is clean, well-maintained, and our security team keeps a visible presence. The real grievance is simply the expense. mgmt attributes increases to market conditions—I work in finance and know that's incorrect. I brought research from real estate contacts and sources like Curbed, which mgmt completely disregarded. The data plainly showed no comparable price changes in our region. Add parking costs into the equation, and the rent for such a small unit becomes genuinely unreasonable. In 15 years of renting, I've never felt squeezed this intensely during renewals. I've also never encountered mgmt refuse negotiation or label it off-limits entirely. If the next renewal follows this pattern, we'll need to leave—unfortunate given how much we adore the community and area. But numerous new developments are launching nearby, so alternatives are plentiful.
