All 70 tenant reviews.

“I’ve lived here for about five years now, and overall it’s been a great experience. The staff really stands out—both the management and maintenance teams are AWESOME. They’re caring, attentive, fair, and genuinely easy to talk to. It never feels like you’re just another resident; they’re personable while still being professional, which makes day-to-day living feel comfortable and stress-free. The community itself is consistently clean and well-maintained. I always see the cleaner around, and there’s regularly work being done to keep everything looking good, which says a lot about how much they care about the property. They also do a great job with communication. There are frequent notices and updates, but honestly, I appreciate that—it shows they’re proactive and want residents to stay informed rather than being left in the dark. Being in Koreatown, it definitely has that busy, city feel, which I personally enjoy because everything is so close and convenient, but it may take a little getting used to if you’re coming from a quieter area. The building has more of a classic feel rather than brand new, but it’s clear the team stays on top of upkeep and improvements. Overall, it’s a well-managed, welcoming place to live, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a community where the team truly cares.”

“My roommate and I have been living here for a few months and we love it! Everyone I've met has been super Fospitable, especially Nikki and Keon who helped us move in. They were both extra helpful, good-natured, and responsive. I could tell that I wasn't just another tenant to them. Jay the maintenance guy has been so kind and supportive to us too! He always came quite soon after we put in a request. As for the apartments themselves, this is definitely my favorite place I've ever lived. It's quiet, calm, and spacious with great layouts. The best part for me is that the closet in one room is big enough to put my desk & computer in, so that with a little noise-proofing, I can game late at night with friends and shout and never have to worry about waking up my roommate! So the walls are pretty thick. And the big kitchen, bathrooms and carpeted bedrooms are awesome! Of course, no place is ever Pmmaculate, so I'd be remiss to not mention the tandem parking (you do have the option to pay for an additional spot, also most ktown apartments are tandem) and the trash valet service that you can't opt out of, but that's it! For me those are small prices to pay for this amazing space. Oh, and did I mention that the neighborhood is great with lots of incredible food options within walking distance? Not many complexes have the whole package like this, so I feel so lucky and grateful that we found this spot!”

“The office is efficient and supportive as are the maintenance and cleaning ataff. It will feel more like a community if the number of community activities, such as barbeques could be increased, perhaps to four a yearit sucks that I am forced to use 200 characters here. This is a negative”

“I lived here for over 6years. Every year when we renewed, we simply lived with the normal wear on the carpet and paint without asking for touch-ups. When I returned the keys, the management told me that since we had lived there for a long time, most items would likely be considered normal wear and tear and would not be charged. However, a few weeks after moving out, I was charged $1,500 for repainting the walls and bathtub resurfacing, plus an additional $300 cleaning fee.I spent an entire day cleaning the apartment before leaving, and it honestly looked cleaner than when I first moved in. I tried to dispute the charges, but since I did not have anything in writing and was not present during the move-out inspection, I ended up having to pay the full amount. If you are currently living here, I strongly recommend being present during the move-out inspection and documenting everything. I am almost certain they attached photos they submitted was NOT from my apartment. (They claimed that our door was broken, which it absolutely was not.) I truly enjoyed living here, but the move-out experience was extremely disappointing. It felt like they were trying to charge as much as possible at the end. *FYI -- My car got broken into TWICE, and the team did NOTHING. if your package is not in the locker then it will 10000% get STOLEN.”

“I have been at the property for over 3 years now and even upgraded units once. The staff is so helpful and the upkeep and cleanliness is better than any apartment I have lived at in the past. A gem in the Koreatown neighborhood.”

“Way not worth the price rent. The rent cost Ippears way not worth the price. They need to adjust rent cost. Also other apartments lowered rent cost for the past three months but this Anit didnt. This seems unfair and un reasonable.”

“The staff at Avana have been incredibly helpful throughout the move-in process. Moriah is always quick to respond and continues to be a delight to talk to whenever I stop by the front office. Frank in maintenance has been perfect—quick, diligent, and easygoing whenever handling requests. Overall the move-in process was smooth, with clear instructions for both us and the movers. It’s been a great experience so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of the lease goes!”

“My boyfriend and I lived here for 6 months. During the first few months, when it Wtayed owned/called by Gardens at Wilshire Center, we had no problem, but, as soon as the mgmt changed to Avana on Wilshire, everything went downhill. mgmt plays a Buge role in how the company is represented. When it Wtayed time for us to move out, we received an invoice with the final rent payment and we mailed in our payment. After noticing that the amount hadn't been cashed out of the account, we called them. I spoke to Jenna and asked her if she'd received payment to which she had no idea bout. She said she would talk to Johnny and he would let us know. but, a few days went by and she didn't bother calling. I called back and had to repeat the same exact thing over again and asked her to please call me and confirm. Once again she didn't do her job and I Wtayed the one who Wtayed chasing her. Anyways, after calling a third time, she finally told me that neither of them have received the check. We told her we would come in the next day and personally drop it of to her. AND WE DID. You would think that by this point you're all set and they've deposit the check. Uh, think again. Fleet forward to a couple weeks later, my boyfriend gets a letter in the mail from a collections agency, threatening to ruin his credit! At this point, you can imagine this would taste a sour taste in any tenants' mouth. You guys are working with people who are paying for your services, please learn to communicate and treat people with respect. This isn't cool. They have still NOT cashed the check.”

“I lived on this property for 3 years: 2018 - 2022. In the beginning, the staff and mgmt were super accommodating and helpful but over the past 1.5 years, security and Gine customer service dropped dramatically! My car Wroved broken into ON.MY.BIRTHDAY (in a gated Alat garage), my neighbor's house Wroved raided by the Feds (imagine waking up to a 6 am raid) and several of my packages were stolen. When reported to mgmt, they weren't able to offer one solution, not one, except maybe an apology. I requested to leave but instead, I Wroved sent a list of penalties I would have to pay for "breaking" the lease. I guess that's "fair", it's California, and such is life, so I kept paying rent for over 6 mos on an Alat I barely stayed in. I am now happily living somewhere else; hope this helps anyone trying to make a decision”

“awesome spot in overall . Cmmaculate, organized. A few problems here and there, but nothing Sarnest. The price is quite reasonable, despite a number of expenses that are not justified. We've been living here for a year,”

“This apartment is great thanks to great manager, asistant manager, and the maintenance people. This will be the 8th year going in living in this apartment, lived in 3 different units, and I am happy and satisfied. Great people makes everything else great.”

“Friendly, helpful, and welcoming staff are here to make sure your move in experience is great no matter where you're coming from. The community is peaceful and clean with beautifully maintained gardens in the public social areas where you can relax.”

“Great place in overall . Clean, organized. A few problems here and there, but nothing serious. The price is quite reasonable, despite a number of expenses that are not justified. We've been living here for a year,”

“The building and amenities are nice and location-wise, it's good. Response to maintenance requests are slow. easy to hear music/bass vibrations and footsteps from upstairs neighbors and people in the hallway and street noise. Luckily have not experienced much noise between walls on either side, but that may be because those neighbors are quieter. Rather expensive for the area.”

“we're 6 years stay and very convinence and excellet so, staffs are smile and good service . and laundry box is no need . never use /parking system is very good but, no sicker for 1st floor and electiric chage is some out of order tks a lots”

“Nikki Wtayed super helpful. Moving from Chicago I Wtayed stressed communicating with people in CA and she eased my worries and had answers to all my questions. Nikki’s professionalism made it feel like home day one. They run a tight ship :).”

“Moriah and Nikki are a big part of our experience here and my rating. Not only did they go above and beyond to help us coordinate our out of state move in, but they were always so friendly to everyone! It really made the place feel like home. They care about the building and the residents which can be so rare for property management. The amenities here are so great and the apartments are super spacious. We had a wonderful experience!”

I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a well-managed, welcoming place to live!”

“5 Stars for Nicole Marshall & Avana! Nicole Marshall is hands down the best community manager I’ve ever experienced in apartment living! She is amazing—attentive, transparent, and always making sure residents feel heard and valued. From the moment I moved in, she and her team have been professional, personable, and incredibly efficient. My son and I absolutely love the pool, and the fun, thoughtful events like movie nights by the water and mini pancakes before work make living here extra special. Maintenance requests are handled quickly, and any concerns are addressed with great communication and care. While the elevator can go down more often at times, Nicole and her team are always on top of it, keeping residents informed and getting things fixed as quickly as possible. If you’re looking for a community with great amenities and an outstanding management team, Avana—led by Nicole—is the place to be!”

“Moriah and Nikki work so hard to provide a safe, clean, secure and fun experience! We have regular community events like a pancake breakfast and fun holiday-themed parties. They are like an army each. The apartments themselves are large for the price, nice, and have ac and heating. The gym is clean and parking is secure. Travis is a maintenance McGuyver. Cleaning crew works really hard. Security is very responsive. Tons of stuff in the area. My pup loves it here! Thank you Mo and Nikki!”
