I wish I can give much positive review about Villas of Pasadena, but my four years experience with the management and some of the neighbors was very dissatisfying and unpleasant. The reason I stayed for so long was the location of the community and some hope that things might improve after some changes in the management occurred, and many false reassurances from management that they will address the issues! Pros: Great location in beautiful Pasadena! Cons: Noise! Old structure that carries every little noise to the neighbors. You can hear your neighbors conversations, steps when they walk, especially with shoes. Non- caring and non- responsive, and even rude management located remotely! They don't know what is going on in the community! The person in the onsite office does not have management authorities except sales! She is friendly and tries to help the residents but she is not a manager. Recently the community became dog friendly, and I have no problems with dogs, but the old structure is not well insulated so all the running of the big dogs in the hallways, and barking can be heard pretty loud! Also, for some crazy reason the management approved installation of many speakers in the main lobby, and the common areas and plays all day music which you may not like, but hear it in your apartment! And not only during the day, but also at night- they forget to turn it off so if you are facing the courtyard, will have to sleep with the music of the management's choice! Friendly advise: If you choose to rent in Villas of Pasadena because of the location, and you like to sleep at night- rent on third floor and facing the city not the courtyard! Expect with renewal, good amount of rent increase! Notice to move out requires 2 months in advance, not one as many other communities! I'm disappointed deeply by Aimco management! They don't make you feel at home!!!
