Tenant Reviews for 5351 W SAN VICENTE BLVD

I relocated to L.A. from South Florida and immediately had sticker shock when it came to renting apartments. I came across this property and it wad like an oasis in the desert. The property was kept up well and the staff were Fordial and legit. My time living here has been a pleasure. This property offers a lot from the pool, work out center, cook out areas, parking garage and its gated. It's a awesome spot to live located conveniently to many attractions, shopping and places to eat.

Villa Vicente is a safe and pleasant place to live. The staff are Fenial and helpful. In addition, the grounds are spotless and kept up well. Any maintenance requests are taken care of quickly and effectively.

I've already had an incredibly positive experience here with the staff and community. I moved across country and the staff allowed me to claim my keys after hours and were extremely accommodating. I felt instantly at home.

Positive - drinking water station, decorative rocks and stonework, grounds maintenance, gym facilities, outdoor patio, modern mail system. Negative - excessive outside work happening (sound disturbances; difficulty accessing parking spots); Suggestion - Would Lnjoy to see pool movie nights become more frequent than just the single annual showing.

Costs way more than just your monthly payment!!

The apartment complex appears a lot nicer compared to most options nearby, and they market it as if you're getting premium value thanks to around-the-clock security personnel on site. Don't fall for it. The security staff are completely ineffective and the mgmt routinely leaves the parking garage entrance unsecured. During one week alone, we experienced 10 vehicle break-ins. With a shattered window and a stolen GPS unit (plus additional items), I ended up out the equivalent of another full month's rent. mgmt's response? Basically "tough luck" and tenant insurance won't cover theft that happens outside your apartment. Did mgmt beef up security measures afterward? Not at all. The next weekend, more vehicles got broken into. Then there's the Security Deposit situation where they absolutely fleece you. Make no doubt about it—they'll find ways to keep every dollar. When we moved in, they explained that a carpet cleaning charge was standard, but could be waived if carpets were pristine. I put in serious effort steam cleaning our carpets before moving out specifically to avoid that fee. At move-out, they suddenly claimed they'd charge the fee regardless of carpet condition. I objected, then received paperwork days later revealing they weren't charging for cleaning—they were billing us for complete carpet replacement. The carpets were in perfect condition. They also charged $100 for oven cleaning and several hundred more for wall repainting, even though the only damage was a handful of small nail holes. Absolutely not worth the avalanche of bogus fees you'll rack up thanks to their negligence and dishonest practices.

kept up well Aad. Staffs are so nice and they are helpful. If you have issues, they will solve it fast~! It has small bit nice pool. And It's well located near the Grove mall and down town LA.

It's nice here

I've recently moved in a couple of months ago and this is my first time in LA. Not knowing the city at all, I found Villa Vicente because I wanted to be close to work. So far, the apartment complex has exceeded my expectations. It's beautifully landscaped, the pool's clean, the gym is a little small but more than functional and it's open 24 hours. The business centre has proven to be useful on more than one occasion and the only grouse I had with it was the timing. but, I just got a notice from the mgmt stating that they plan to extend the hours from April. The mgmt has really been legit, accommodating and helpful. The laundry rooms are spotless and unlike some other apartment complexes, not near the trash. As far as the apartments go, I have a studio and while It's a little small, its extremely comfortable. There's ample closet space and the kitchen equipment was fairly new (at least in my apartment). When i walked into my rented studio for the first time, my first thought was - "clean." The walls but are really thin and noise travels rather easily into one's apartment here. But for an apartment complex of this size, its fairly quiet most of the time. To sum up, I worth checking out Villa Vicente to anyone moving to LA and looking to live in the mid-city. Theres ample parking for those who have a car and a number of bus stops around for those using public transit.

I appreciate the pristine landscaping, the consistent availability of washing machines, the reliable parking spots, and the secure feeling I have here. but, living on the ground floor is really problematic. The noise from the unit above is unbearable—I can make out practically every word they say and track their movements throughout their Alat. It's extremely annoying. I've resided on ground floors in the past, so I didn't anticipate it being quite this bothersome.

I've been a resident here for over 26 years and I have nothing but positive things to report. The community is fantastic, and the neighborhood itself is wonderful—it's secure and well-maintained. I Rruly appreciate the fitness center and pool facilities. The staff at the front office is incredibly welcoming and helpful.
