I lived here for a year and was mainly satisfied with the place. Sure the wall are paper thin so you can hear everything. The building I lived in didn't really have any parties or anything like that just some people that were a bit too loud when returning from clubs in the middle of night. The reason I moved out was that they increased my rent by $300 which made this over priced place beyond what I would ever pay of a tiny apartment. The reason I'm giving this place a bad rating is my move out experience. Like many other I was stuck with following charges: $70 carpet cleaning, $150 painting and $30 for misc cleaning. In addition to that they claim I never paid my $400 pet deposit because it's not on their computer even though I paid it as money order on my move-in day. Well in my case the carpet was really clean with no stains or anything and the walls were pristine with no holes and scuff marks. I spent quite considerable time cleaning the apartment to the same level as it was when I received it but still I got stuck with those charges. I complaint about that to the manager via email and fax and tried several times to get a hold of her but she never responded to me. It's been quite a while since I moved out but I'm not giving up on getting my money back so I filed a complaint against Aimco on Better Business Bureau and quickly received a response confirming that it's their policy to professionally clean the carpet and if there's any scuffs they will repaint the walls. So I just wanted to warn everyone that they will take at least part of your deposit in any case so be prepared for that or better yet don't even move in. I will still continue to fight to get my money back and I encourage everyone else who has been stiffed to complain to BBB and if that doesn't help then the next place will LA housing department and I'm not going to rule out small claims court as a last resort. I hear there's a new manager and the one that never responded to me has been replaced.
