Brookside Terrace Apartments

I am a current resident at Brookside Terra Apartments and I do not recommend anyone to lease an apartment here. While the property manage is professional and a good person, the complex has been undergoing major renovations over the past year that continue, to this day, make the life of the residents miserable. Every few days, there is a notice posted on the door that water will be shut off for the entire day, workers entering the unit to re-pipe, common areas under construction, in-unit washer and dryer disabled for 4 weeks, and none of this is compensated in any way, form of shape and the residents are expected to move on despite all the daily inconvenience of being without water of having strangers enter your apartment on a regular basis. Maybe in a couple of years this will be a nice place to lease a unit at but currently and the foreseeable future, I would stay away. Plus, there are all sorts of junk fees being added to your rent at the end of the month between a "BillOn fee", "Registration Fee", "Insurance Admin Fee" then you are liable for a portion of the Sewage Fees, Trash Fees, Water Fees, etc. You pretty much pay for all on top of the inconvenience of living here. And lastly, be careful when you see any promotions of 1 month free. Our unit was advertised as such but when we leased, we were told this promotion is not valid on your apartment. Go figure.

These are the words I would use to define my 4 years experience (2019-2023) living at Brookside Terrace Apartments: location, safety, good management, and quiet surrounding. We had to relocate to the other side of the country for business reasons, and if it hadn't been for that, we would still be living at the same address. The apt complex is in an excellent position; Trader Joe's, Ralph's, and the newly opened Target are all close, as well as the 101 and 405 freeways. There are many restaurants on Ventura Blvd., and there is something for everyone. The proximity to Balboa Lake is also a big bonus; it's a terrific location for a picnic, or a party. We've never had a problem with the apartment complex's security. Furthermore, for individuals who work from home, the peace and quiet is extremely advantageous. The management is constantly present and willing to assist and meet any demands. I definitely recommend this place!

I've lived here for almost 5 years and love it!! It's a great location near the 101 and 405, Trader Joe's and Balboa Park. There's a pool, jacuzzi, gym, and game room. They have full-time maintenance and custodian staff so repairs are handled very quickly and professionally. I highly recommend this building :)

My apartment is a very quiet and safe building. It's located in encino, ca and one block from the park. It has a nice pool, spa, gym, and office area. I would recommend this apartment to anyone.
