Property Ratings at Park La Brea
As a new resident, I wasn’t given much information about the process at Park La Brea. The property is large, and I had trouble reaching anyone until I met Trevon from Administration. He was quick to assist, gave me a clear rundown of the rules, and made my experience enjoyable. Thank you!
Property Manager at Park La Brea, Responded To This Review
Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad to hear that our team made a positive impact on your experience. We pride ourselves on providing exceptional service, and your feedback inspires us to keep it up! Have a fantastic day!
Maintenance staff was nice and friendly. BUT! if you want quiet night of sleep or any assistance from management - don't move! 1) Lived in the tower block 47 (main block facing the office), had very loud neighbours (yes, multiple) all around, partying, shouting and making loud noises throughout the night and early morning hours all year round, no one did anything. And most importantly, had a next door neighbour that was literally shouting, signing and screaming THROUGHOUT EVERY SINGLE NIGHT (have recording proofs) of our multi-year residency at the property, NO ONE DID ANYTHING, nor security nor management bothered to help us, got completely ignored our complaints even though we had proof. Due to that, we were mentally scared, were forced to move out of the bedroom and sleep in the lounge area throughout the whole period we lived there... 2) Another example of ignorance: fridge broke, had to throw away $100 worth of food, been told we will be reimbursed but literally our emails got fully ignored once we provided the receipts, after dozens of pings nothing happened... Overall, good place, however, the above examples, especially the loud next door neighbour and unwillingness from management to help, left us scared and sadly would never move back or recommend anyone to live there..

i have never encountered somewhere as dysfunctional as this building, my apartment fully flooded i had los angeles biggest waterfall in my kitchen and it fully took them an hour to come and stop the water and then a month to renovate it they had to put us somewhere else as they did it and we had to move three times because they kept putting us in units with issues. the apartment itself was so old and so gross they only care about money and not their tenants

Thank you for taking the time to share this experience. If there are any outstanding concerns, reach out to our offices at your earliest convenience. Thank you.
There is so much to explain; but enough characters. First, the apartment i rented I was not able to view. The day it became available I inquired and before the day was out someone had already paid to hold it and I thought I had missed out. But, from what I thought was a sign, that person had withdrew and the leasing agent contacted me to let me know it had opened and I would need to act quickly. I thought the stars had aligned. This is where the story will take a turn. The apartment was old, older than I realized. Nothing like the the models, in my opinion. The only updated thing in my place was the fridge and stove and those could’ve been dated to the 90s or early 00s. The bathroom was small and even though I am big & tall even my smaller friends expressed amazement at how small it was especially because the space itself was so large for what my rent was. And it was extremely dated; the toilet was so small. And there was no storage in the bathroom, beside the medicine cabinet. Also my apt was equipped with a shower stall no tub; honestly that was fine but the stall needs lighting. I lived in a main floor apartment and encountered roaches on move-in day. 2 were about the length of a matchstick while I also saw several small roaches on the same day. All were dead! But this would not be the last I would see of them. On that first day; I made a vow to never cook in my place because the sight of roaches made me feel disgusted. I killed well over 10 roaches in my apartment and I’m a clean person. All my food was taken to the trash chute. I never threw open containers in my apt trash. I’ve read (after I moved in) that the roach thing is hit or miss at here and that is frankly unacceptable. They were in the hallways, crawling out of the trash chute before they closed them down, and in the basement. I would come home they would be on my front door. It made living there hellscape for me. Even after getting an exterminator; I still had the critters. I used to believe the maintenance team was very responsive until by unit lost power and took them 5 days to fix. FIVE, no compensation-nothing. I had to pull out my lease and email that they were violating the lease agreement which at the time stated the apt must be “liveable”. And for 5 days it was not! Ultimately; I would never recommend this place to the next person.

This place was great until they did me dirty. Heater went out when it got the coldest. It leaked a dirty brown water, staining the carpet in my bedroom. They fixed the heater and scheduled a steam cleaning of my room the following Wed, asking me to move all my stuff out. Which i did, all in my living room. Well, its Friday now, no steam cleaning done, my bedroom things are all in my living room for several days now. Super inconvenient since I have a roomate. I've been calling each day to maintenance and still, no go... One of the worst experiences of life.

Positives: Quiet Negatives: -There is zero parking after 7 pm. When you finally have to purchase a $75+ spot, the parking office is completely unhelpful. Richard in the parking office is exceedingly rude. - Have seen rats in the basement and a few cockroaches in my apartment. Even after Management send someone from Terminex to spray and inspect. Basement dumpsters are constantly overflowing. -Washing machines are continuously broken. -Mail and packages are stolen -Using the pool and gym costs $40+ a month. The pool is rarely occupied yet they charge you $15 a person to bring a friend. There are ads for kid free times on the website but there don't seem to be any. Overall: Perhaps it was once a nice place to live but no longer. I cannot wait for this lease to end. It makes sense that so many people I know have lived here for just one year when they move to LA then immediately find somewhere else to reside.
Bed greeting at the front office, Very poor communication, Lack of professionalism. The consultant kept saying to busy to call me, what? I paid all holding deposit and applying fee. After I tried to call the supervisor, then she called me EVENTUALLY!! I don't even want to give a star. Do try to live here!! It is my first feedback to write in my life, I have never written any feedback!!
They won’t give you your deposit,you will never find free parking spot after 9 pm ,you will always wait for elevator, because of thin walls Apartament smell so bad.
If you were living in the garden units, then bugs are to be expected. But I'm on the 3rd floor in Tower 34 and the pest issue gets worse and worse. At first it's the stinkbugs flying through the window. Fine, pay $40 for every window screen installed. Then it's the German cockroaches in the kitchen. Call maintenance, they say just buy roach bait. Fine. Did that too. BUT NOW THERE ARE AMERICAN COCKROACHES IN THE UNIT. These are HUGE. The size of a human hand. And Park La Brea does not care. They don't care if you've called them 14 times that the units have a SERIOUS PROBLEM and won't send anyone to fix the pipes and the waterlogged walls that you've warned them repeatedly about. It has been months and the reason I haven't moved out yet is because I'm trapped with this lease. Save your money. DO NOT MOVE HERE. The location seems convenient at first, but the insomnia you develop from knowing you have cockroaches skittering below your bed isn't.
Property Manager at Park La Brea, Responded To This Review
We're sorry to hear you're experiencing a pest issue. If you haven't done so already, please submit a request for treatment services then we'll be sure to schedule a service appointment right away. Thank you, The PLB Team
I really wanted to like this place however, felt compelled to write a review due to the financial issues I've faced here. The company will do anything to find ways to bill you someway and squeeze money out. I haven't been a resident in over a year, I turned in all my keys/parking pass everything. I still was charged for the gym every month (even during the pandemic when the gym was closed for months). No reimbursement has been made even after asked. I don't trust them and please just be aware if you do decide to live here.
Property Manager at Park La Brea, Responded To This Review
We're very sorry to hear you were dissatisfied. If you're willing to discuss your experience in more detail, please call our office anytime as we'd appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. Thank you for choosing to call our community home.
For some reason I moved here without reading the reviews. Most of them are about cockroaches and I learned about those reviews after I ended up with cockroaches in my apartment myself! Took about 6 months to take care of the situation, but still see them here and there. I'm in a Tower apartment high up, so it's gross knowing that they can crawl all the way up here. Ew. Also I was held up at gunpoint in this complex, within the gates. When the police came, I was then informed about the lack of security cameras in this place. I can't believe I never noticed. Also management takes their time for sure to get back to you, but honestly what apartment complex doesn't have management complaints? Anyway, I would recommend to not move here due to the cockroaches and criminal activity in and around the area.
I have called and sent them many emails but no response. No one working in the leasing office
Leasing here is absolutely awful! The leasing office will take days or weeks to get back to you over just looking at an apartment. Once you lease one they don’t return your calls or emails on matters such as parking permits or renovation that should have been done prior to moving in. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Parking is horrible if you don’t have an assigned parking , amenities are an extra charge, apartments are not upgraded as they should be and you won’t be able to get a hold of anyone if you need assistance.
I’ve tried to reach leasing team many times, and when I finally got someone on the phone, they transferred me to nowhere with stupid promises “leasing agents will contact you asap” and stuff like that. Even though I told them, that according to reviews here and there they stand as a “poor leasing team company”. I mean, I can understand everything, just be honest and say “we’re out of professionals and probably you’re gonna wait for weeks to be reached back”. It’s cool. And considering everything mentioned above, you’ll likely have the same issues with everything in the building. So just slide over and find someone who can at least be honest with you as a client.
Although these apartments are beautiful the leasing offices communication and leasing process is horrendous. My roommate and I submitted all required and requested paper work and documentation about a month ago and were told that everything was approved and ready for us to move in. We were given our apartment number, scheduled an appointment to pick up our keys and sent videos of our specific apartment (I am coming from out of state). During this month we had called various times and sent various emails to ensure that everything was in order, only to hear nothing back (supposedly our leasing agent was out and our file was left untouched in his desk). 12 hours before I am supposed to drive my moving truck across the state we find out that we were never approved, our apartment was never ready and there was further documentation needed that was never asked for (which they are now refusing to accept). I am pursuing the issue further because their lack of professionalism, poor communication and ineffective office management has now cost me over $700 and has interfered with mine and my roommates professional lives.

Before even looking at apts in parklabrea beware there are hidden charges for water, sewer, trash, It’s a given parking, clubhouse. Amenities are extra. The accounting staff aren’t available as needed. There are delays on some service requests and bring your own paint for touch up...

Been living here for 2 years now. I rent a 2bd/2bth in one of the towers. People moving in or out just about every day. With that said, because the company is trying so quickly to fill these units, they do really bad work when it comes to renovations. In my apt, you can't open or close the kitchen cabinets without it getting stuck or scrapping against the drawers above it because of all the old layers of paint. It's so thick that when I try to open a cabinet, a drawer drags open with it. The bathroom doors are metal and the paint chips easily, leaving the metal exposed to the moisture from the showers and then getting rusty. The guest bathroom has no ventilation system. This makes it easy for mold to grow. The hardwood floors are warped from previous tenants and poor maintenance. I pulled out a HUGE splinter from the wood. The main wall in the living room, is slightly collapsed outward, so I'm afraid to hang anything on it. The toilet in the guest bathroom barely flushes and clogs for no reason. Called maintenance about this multiple times, they just accuse us of flushing down toilet paper and things, when we don't. The kitchen sink drips, no matter how tightly we turned the knobs. They "fixed" it once, then the second time, they replaced the knobs that were meant for a BATHROOM sink. Maintenance said they would order the proper knobs but that never happened. It still drips to this day. When there was a leak under the kitchen sink, had to call at least 5 times to get someone to come fix it. Apparently, having your kitchen floor flooded with water is not urgent. The elevators in our tower are constantly breaking down - used to get emails regularly about this but it happens so often, I think they just gave up. Someone is stuck in the elevator at least once a day; I can hear the emergency bell every time someone is stuck. Lots of dog poop from people who don't clean up after their pets. Random trash always in the grass (e.g., bags, bottles with yellow mystery liquids, condoms, someone's underwear). Shockingly, but not shocking, there are residents that steal other residents' packages that are left in the mail room, ESPECIALLY during the holidays. AirBnB is supposedly not legal here, yet we got tourists coming in and out all year, especially during the summer. There is free parking but the spaces are limited; depending where you park will determine the cost.

We'd appreciate the opportunity to speak with you & clear up any confusion. We look forward to your call. Thank you, The PLB Team
I have been trying to get into contact with a leasing agent for 3-4 weeks to no avail. Very disappointing and discouraging. I have called countless times, emailed, and left messages and none of which have been returned. If this is how Park La Brea treats potential tenants interested in leasing a new apartment with them, I cannot imagine what the service is like once you are already a tenant.
While my stay here was brief, about 1 year, I really enjoyed it! I made some new friends and enjoyed the fact that everything was just a short walk or bike ride away. I recommend it to someone who wants to live in the Park Labrea area and wants convenient businesses nearby.

Thank you for the wonderful review & recommendation, Daneeka! Although we wish you could've stayed with us longer, we're delighted to hear you enjoyed your year at Park La Brea & we wish you ALL the best! :-)
This is absolutely the worst leasing experience I have ever had: 1. I applied for an apartment with hardwood floor. After going through the entire process, the leasing team told me that the unit is carpet only. 2. I was fortunate enough to find another unit with hardwood floor. The IT system was not able to process my e-signatures and the process was delay for a few weeks. 3. I applied before the rate lock deadline. But because no one in the office process my application on time, my rental rate went up by $150+. I had to go in person several time for the manager to change the rate back. 4. The team is extremely not responsive. My move in date is in a week, and they told me they would send me move in information 2 week before move in date. Up until now, no one has sent me anything. 5. I called the leasing number as well as Carmyn at least 8 time today. They promised me to call me back before 6...and I heard no response from anyone. 6. The only times when someone actually picks up my call, they will tell me they are busy and will follow up with me later. I have never dealt with a team that is so incompetent and unprofessional before. They do not put in any effort to help you during the leasing process. I have to go in person to get them to take any action. I don't understand why it is so hard for them to do the bare minimum required for their job. The management team should really reevaluate how they handle customer service.

Hi Scarlett, We sincerely apologize your leasing experience hasn't fully met your expectations or Park La Brea's standards of customer service.

If there's anything more we can do to assist you, please contact Carmyn in the leasing office. Please accept our apologies for any frustration. We look forward to having you join our community. Thank you, The Park La Brea Team
anywhere you go in miracle mile, if you tell people you live in PLB the first thing they ask is “how are the roaches”. Definitely a problem that probably will never get fixed. Unfortunate.

All I can say is run. I moved into my apartment 4 weeks ago and have had a huge problem with cockroaches. The leasing office has sent multiple exterminators but nothing has changed. It’s so bad that they are coming out of my empty refrigerator. I asked the leasing office to help and they laughed me out of the office. They said that if I wanted to move , I could but it would cost be 4,000 to break the lease. I’m very stressed out. I have allergies to cockroaches which triggers my asthma. I wish I did my research.

I have lived here for five years. The worst place. I am finally going to move out in the coming months. Too many break-ins, stairways smell like pee, terrible management that ignore you, disrespect you, and rude. The complex is unsecured and anyone can walk in or drive in, loud music, people hanging out past 2 am being loud, dirty everywhere except tower 47 which is the tower they show potential tenants. They are nice until you sign the lease. They charge for everything including using the gym, pool, and parking. It's not worth it. They also automatically renew your lease and won't allow you to go month-to-month after a year.
We've been living here for less than a year, and management has already made it very clear that they are in no way concerned about your living situation at Park La Brea. Administration is unresponsive, gates and doors are left open with no security, patrol never answers the phone, cleaning of common areas is extremely poor, leasing agents give you misleading information, and this is just to name a few of the problems we have had. A real shame that this is the apartment we ended up getting at Miracle Mile, since the location is so good. And with so many good options and prices in the area, we suggest you avoid this one at all cost.
When something breaks in your apartmentno one comes to fix it , its like they dont even call . Its been 3 months And my microwave is still not fixed. Even the way the complaints are registered is bad , there is no website you call in to a centralized location and they take in your request but no one bothers to address , half pf the laundry machines dont work , elevators dont work half the time . Very disappointed
I have one year leaving here. Location is good but service is the worst I had ever received in my life. People in leasing office is always rude and in the worst mood. They treat you like they hate their job. Maintenance and cleaning services in main areas is poor, always full of spiders, roaches and rats because administration doesnt want to pay more frequent services and more people to do the job. When you need to fix something in your house, you need to call them 2 or 3 times to fix it.
I have lived in this amazing community for 24 years. It really is an oasis in our metropolis. The grounds and common areas are beautiful and well tended to, and when there are issues requiring maintenance, the response time is excellent. I also have the highest regard for ABLE Maintenance personnel. They are knowledgable, skilled, efficient and effective, trustworthy and very kind. Having lived here long enough to know many of them, I am always impressed with the professional and friendly manner in which they take care of any issue.
Spent a day in LA lookimg for an apartment. Found La Brea. Waited 3 hours to see an apartment on a Sat as a walk-in. They said we must come back and be on time. we were 20 min early. Staff kept saying different things and contridicting each other. Nobody would show us the apt. They kept saying they were too busy and and under staffed. Finally at the appointment time... The girl was on the phone for at least a half hour. We finally left because the front desk staff could not tell us when the girl would show us the apartment. The whole attitude of all of the staff at the front desk (there were 4 we encountered in the 3 hour period ) was that they were too busy to show the apartment and we were unimportant. If the customer service is this horrible to a prospective tenet, how horrible must it be when they already gained your business and something breaks?
My new home was spotless and perfect upon move in. I have a lovely view - the team is so responsive and friendly and I feel very comfortable. I locked myself out and the patrol service came to the rescue right away and they were so friendly. I love my new home at Park La Brea and I can't wait to meet the neighbors living around me. :)
One star is to much for this place. This place used to be very good not anymore. Office staff are awful simply worthless . They never answer any phone calls. I made a mistake referred one of my friends to them. First they didn't even care to respond to her emails or calls to schedule a tour. Finally she decided to walk in and of course there was no one helping her. Everyone were busy doing nothing. I will be moving out as my lease is over. Try to find different place. This place is falling apart with horrible management.
"Why are the heating pipes clanging incredibly loud all night long? I can't sleep!" "Someone will fix it." "Why are the pipes clanging, again?!? For the second night in a row! For the third night in a row!! Why isn't this being dealt with?" "Why is the elevator in our building not working (again) for the past week? A week??" "Yeah, umm, we don't have the parts yet." ??!!? "I need something fixed in my apartment. Can you help?" "Oh, OK, it'll be taken care of. Sometime in the next 3 days." "3 days? When exactly?" "Sorry, can't tell you." "Why am I regularly smelling marijuana smoke coming through our windows? Why can you not put a stop to this?" "Sorry, we can't tell other people what to do." Honestly, people, all these negative reviews are all too true. Do not move here.
I've been living in tower 40 for about 2 years and this is my 5th time cleaning out the cabinets in the kitchen for Pest control !!!!! There was this one time that I had over 50 roaches in the kitchen and called a high end pest control company to come on my expense because their maintenance service is so horrible. I really wish they can do something about this problem because over all this complex is in a very good location and I will be very disappointed to move but seeing how things are going, most likely I will be moving because no location is going to win me over those roaches!!!!!
Great location, cheap service, unsafe maintenance, old building with roaches, really unsafe and experiensive
Hello. If you are looking for a place to call home for your family,look no further than Park La Brea. Centrally located,everything you need is within walking distance. Shopping and movies at the Grove, fresh food and delicious restaurants at the Farmers Market and groceries at Whole foods and Trader Joes ,just steps away from home. Looking for a school for your kids? Our home school Hancock Park is one of the top schools in LA Unifed school district. If you have decided to live in an apartment, what could be more perfect than walking outside with your kids into wide open parks? In addition to the great location, the apartments are spacious with super thick walls(we never hear our neighbors)and the maintenance crew is top notch. Whenever something is broken, a quick fix is just a phone call away. Add to that 24 hour security, and I don't know why anyone would want to live anywhere else.
Pros and Cons here: Price isn't too bad for area. Location is great. Farmers market across the street on one dide, LACMA on another. Kids play outside and it seems safe and peaceful here (during the day). People are drunk outside at night a lot and security disappears at night and takes lIke 20 minutes to come when cslled. People smoke right outside and it wafts into the lower units big time. Laundry is in basement past still KY garbage and only 8 washers in 156 unit tower. You have to set your alarm for dawn to wash. Elevators are constantly broken. USPS won't deliver packages here because of the elevators so they will just keep leaving "sorry we missed you" cards until you sit in the lobby one night waiting for them to find out they have a policy not to even bring the packages here due to the elevator situation. They have notified management of that but they didn't think it important to inform tenants. No A/C unless you pay way more. Floors are very old, so are cabinets etc. They don't clean corners and crevices before you move in it seems. Walls are thick so noise from Neighbors isn't bad. Units are huge. If your neighbor clogs her sink, maintenance will bust into your unit cause they are connected and the neighbor's gross food water will back up into your sink. Maintenance will even let themselves in at 11 at night. Parking spots are $65 extra (there are like 12 spots for 156 unit tower that are free and they are never open). Pool/gym access is extra per person and you have to commit to at least 6 months. They don't tell you any of this until you've signed lease. Pool is tiny. Tweekers in low income units next tower i think. They like to fight at night and tweekers on their car. Even with all the issues, it is actually a pretty good place. They use way too much water (seems like they are constantly watering) for this drought, but the greenery is very pleasant.
Park La Brea is perfectly central to LA. I can get anywhere I need to in the city in about 20 minutes or less. 10 min to Hollywood, 20 to Downtown, 20 to the westside, 30 min to the airport. Close to Whole Foods, Erewhon, Trader Joe's, CVS, LACMA, the tar pits... the location can't be beat. The neighborhood itself is quite nice also, you get the feeling of being in a small suburbia with the trees and the long streets. There are a lot of small parks within the community, a fitness center and a pool which are also awesome (pool and gym are not included with rent though). Parking can be tough, especially if you're coming home late at night. The apartments are spacious, have lots of light, and depending on your model, central AC. The laundry rooms in the basement are in serious need of an update, the washing machines and dryers are very often all taken up or dirty to the point you don't want to use them. I live in a tower unit, and although I have never had any bugs, some of my neighbors on lower floors complain about them. The elevators in my building go out weekly (although they're in the process of being modernized now to stop that problem) so expect a long wait for the elevator. Leasing and Administration are always helpful, although I find that going into the office is more efficient than a phone call/email. Maintenance is included in rent; my only complaint about maintenance is that you can't schedule a service time, they just show up whenever. They could come solve your issue same day, next day (most of the time), or in a week at any time in the day. I've requested calls to let me know when they are on their way, but that request has never been respected. tl;dr PROS: -Location!! -Amenities available -Helpful Leasing and Admin Office -Views from high floor tower units -Spacious apartments with lots of light -Neighborhood feel, lots of trees and other plants -Small parks all over the neighborhood, each has hotspot and cafe CONS: -General Parking between 8pm and 8am is rough -Subpar laundry facility -Bugs? (according to others) -Old elevators -Can't schedule maintenance work
This place is ACTUALLY in the heart of Los Angeles. It takes 5 minutes to walk to the Grove which includes an awesome farmer's market, 10 minute drive to Hollywood, West Hollywood, and Downtown. The Garden home itself has a spacious living room and dining room, allowing it to really feel like a home. There are beautiful courtyards surrounding every home and tower. The community center offers yoga, spin, a swimming pool and many more activities. The administrative and maintenance staff quickly responds to any issue that may arise in a timely manner and the 24 hour security patrol give me peace of mind. My favorite part is that there is PARKING in this community. It's difficult to find a place to call home in a busy city like LA, but Park La Brea manages to create a beautiful escape.
This is an amazing place to live, where 24hour securities are only a phone call a way. It's peaceful and nice neighbors always greeting each other. I feel safe my teenage daughter walking home alone after school and my 9 year old son is always making new friends out in the park day and night. But, the most amazing thing about Park La Brea apartment is the spacious and well made interior of its units. Not to mention the million dollar views and privacy it offers. The kitchen sink is made of steal that won't rust and bathtubs are clean and spacious to fit two. The livingroom walls are built with huge windows and buildings are far from each other so I usually leave windows uncovered. I felt very safe hanging out in the park right in front of my apartment late summer nights. Its the best choice I have made for my family.
I have lived in this apartment for 12 years. Although an older building it is kept up nicely. It is large hi-rise apartment with wood floors and a nice view. Grounds are well maintained and attractive. Area is very good for shopping and dining. Best of all this is a rent control building and only allows for a 4% increase each year.
The moment you drive onto the grounds, you sense you have entered into a different world like when you pass through the gates at Disneyland, you know your reality has changed, eager with excitement and anticipation of what you will find and experience. At Park LaBrea it is a labyrinth of cottage style bungalows mixed in with tall elegant towers with amenities waiting to be discovered! The saline pools, the community center, the gym, the lush gardens, the many park areas perfect for relaxing or the children's jungle gym, the tennis volleyball courts, the media center...but best yet are the tenants. Park LaBrea attracts a certain type of tenant, a peaceful, courteous, smiling, respectful group of people choosing to escape the chaos of the city within minutes by driving home and slipping into the peaceful tranquility made possible by the highly efficient management and security team that patrol the grounds 24/7. Help is just a phone call away. As the sun sets, you find people casually walking and relaxing, comfortable and secure. It is a pleasure to see how the exterior of each bungalow has been subtly customized and decorated by the inhabitant, a myriad of different tastes and styles. Unlike other stand alone apartments, living at Park LaBrea is being a member of a community where the entire grounds become your living space, a cut above the rest, an ideal model of a stress free life style where most anything you could possibly need or want is within minutes of walking or driving and that is the key, the proximity of everything provides you with the most valuable resource, time. Time to shop, run errands, exercise, relax, unwind and live a complete holistic well being life right in the heart of Los Angeles, right next to the world famous Farmers Market, Grove Shopping Center, Pan Pacific Park, and LACMA. The whole picture, the complete package is the closest to utopia as anyone can possibly get!
Park La Brea Apartments are a great option if you want to live in an accessible part of Los Angeles. It's situated within walking distance to the Grove, Trader Joe's, Ralph's, Whole Foods, and countless other shops. The facilities are relatively clean and well maintained, though some parts of the grounds seem kind of abandoned and sketchy (e.g. stairwells and the parking garage). The best part of living here (aside from the location) are the facilities - two salt water pools, a fitness center, and even a hair salon. These facilities aren't 5-star by any means, but they are great to have so close by and conveniently located. It can be a kind of confusing maze to get used to since the complex is so large, but once you figure it out everything is rather accessible. Definitely an apartment worth looking into.
The only reason to move into Park La Brea is for the location. You're one street over from Wilshire and you're half a mile from The Grove. Forget about getting to the any freeway in a timely manner though... the whole city is packed. I lived in a tower apartment. Things to consider: single pane windows, A/C doesn't work well, neighbors can be heard through the walls, bugs, elevators that break down frequently. Overall, not worth the amount you're paying. Scrounge up another couple hundred dollars and move to The Villas. You'll thank me.
Park La Brea has towers (12 floor buildings) and town houses. The towers have large living room windows with relaxing views out of the window. My 2 bedroom apt is 1100 sq feet. The kitchen is not open; it has its on wall separating from the living room. The master bedroom has a bathroom with windows (useful for people with mold allergies) and a walk-in closet which comes with a built-in dresser and a mirror. The other bedroom is slightly smaller but fits a cal king sized bed, nightstands, and a study table. It has a regular closet and two moderate size windows. The whole place is carpeted except for the kitchen and the 2 restrooms. We did not have any bug problems in the unit. Our unit has an exceptional air flow due to it being higher up. Con: our carpet wasn't new; there were spots all over the carpet that started appearing as soon as we moved in. Gym and pool has additional charges on top of the rent. The laundry is located in the basement of each tower next to trash bins. The elevators are notoriously slow. Reserved parking is also a separate fee from the rent, but street parking is available at first come basis. Pro: The neighborhood is great: grove mall, LACMA museum, farmer's market, and Hancock Park Elementary School.
This building (and the complex) definitely has it's ups and downs. The elevator never seems to work, but I also have a ton of square footage for the price I pay per month. The maintenance staff never make it to the apartment, but security is friendly and courteous. The grounds are well maintained and beautifully landscaped, but the buildings themselves can be a touch out of date. I can't complain too much. It feels safe, it's spacious, and it's right in the Miracle Mile, so there are a ton of restaurants, grocery stores, shopping centers, museums and bars all around. You could definitely do worse than Park La Brea.
Park La Brea has become a nice well maintained community. Two bedroom tower apt is spacious. Rarely hear neighbors except for front door noise. However the elevators tend to have issues which can be a real pain when living on the 10th floor. Even with new elevators! And don't bring oversized furniture, would fit in apartment but not elevator! When they say measure they mean it. Overall I like PLB.
The location is fantastic but the building is average. So happy that the elevators are finally being updated—a very much needed change. I will continue living here due to the amazing price as well
I was nervous renting from such a large complex, but after viewing over 20 complexes within 10 blocks of Park La Brea, I found it was very competitively priced for the area, I live in a tower apartment: Pros: Square footage: On average these apartments are about 100-300 square feet larger than others nearby for the same price Upgraded apartments: They have re-done some apartments, I was happy to get one with AC and a washer/dryer in the unit Cabinets/closets: Plenty of storage space/built in storage Overall layout: It's not a box, there's a lot of light and great views Cons: Elevators: Only one elevator was working when I moved in and the hallways are hot - wait times were long Parking: Covered parking is a bit of a trek Bathroom: Small and no counter space. Vents connect to other apartments - sometimes you get strange smells Noise Level: It's the city and the windows are old so even on the upper floors you will hear kids playing/sirens/loud cars etc I hear my neighbors every once in a while, but haven't had any trouble with bugs or maintenance requests - things I was nervous about when I decided to move in. It feels safe with security around, and in general other residents are friendly.
Nice lifestyle nice neighborhood love the amenities love the closeness to shops
We dealt with minor cockroach issues from the date of move-in, but after our first winter fumigation we felt the problem was controllable enough that we would be able to manage (though we did spend hundreds of dollars ourselves on managing the issue, in addition to the management provided by PLB). However, the problem became worse in summer and despite two fumigations in a three-week period, the problem continued to worsen. The cockroaches in our unit were particularly enormous and kept us up at night because of their loud scuttling across the bedroom. Our seven-month lease is a few weeks from ending, but we ultimately vacated several weeks ago because we could not sleep at night. We (engaged couple) are now staying at my parents' house while we look for a new apartment. We had numerous (approximately 50 through a school program) friends at varied garden units and towers throughout Park La Brea, and while the "activity" level varied, every single person had pest problems. One girl had rats that ate half a loaf of bread left accessible on the counter. It is a shame because the units look nice and the location is difficult to beat-- if we had been able to eradicate the pests, we might have seriously considered staying for years to come. However, obviously we will not be able to.
What sold me on Park La Brea was the kitchen. Stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, garbage disposal & fantastic counter tops. Being a profound foodie where I live needs to have a good kitchen. The whole unit gets tons of natural light. Biggest gripe is that the tower windows have no screens on them to keep out the bugs. Maintenance has always been on top of things when called. Another downside to the complex is being charged for the other amenities such as parking, pool & gym.
