Pacific Place Apartments

Have been living there for 7 months now and it is probably the best value for money you can find in the area, BUT it has a lot of flaws. Fire alarms are very sensitive and are coming on at least once a week. There is a flooding alarm on the first floor that is triggered almost every night and stays on for hours. Made more than a dozen attempts to notify the leasing office about the issue, but it is still coming on. Very thin walls so you can hear your neighbors often. The elevators are not... reliable, and the screeching noise that they make is terrifying, got stuck there recently. When we toured the property the washer and dryer were nice and new. But when we moved in our washer and dryer were old, rusty, and loud. When we asked the leasing office about that, they said that the show apartment probably had the washer that the previous tenants left, and they could not do anything about it. The non-smoking policy is not enforced and we can often smell people smoking weed and cigarettes on the balconies. Front doors have gaps and the whole apartment looks like they used the lowest quality cheap materials. Read More

I live here for 16 months now and just want everyone know plz plz stay away
Building always has issues
Elevator most of the time not working
Pool and jacuzzi not working for over two months
Fire alarm goes on out of nowhere at 4 or 5 in the morning

The apartments have significant issues including:
-no hot water
-electrical problems
-broken appliances
- damaged/stained carpets

The community manager is difficult to reach and not helpful.

Fire alarms go off usually at least 1x a week, often more. They are rapidly increasing rents above market value to try and lock in higher rates for renewals.

Parking lot gates and doors are often broken and left unlocked/unsecured.

Multiple tenants reported being attacked and/or robbed so they... disabled the communication features between residences and stopped allowing comments/reviews.

I could go on and on - not a safe place, terrible living conditions, poor management, over priced. Read More

When considering this place, I looked at the reviews and thought it couldn't really be that bad, and I could not have been more wrong. It is even worse experiencing it in person. The biggest complaint is the noise. DO NOT live here if you want to sleep between the hours of 11pm and 5am, it's not possible. First off half the units face the 405 freeway so expect to hear the cars at all hours of the day. Secondly, as many people mentioned previously, you are more likely than not going to get... neighbors blasting loud music with bass that shakes your unit, literally. When you seek assistance from management, you will find out that it is non-existent. Their only solution is that you transfer to another unit, which they charge a large fee for or break your lease early which they charge an even larger fee for. So currently I am stuck living in a unit that has been made uninhabitable by noise pollution for several more months until my lease ends.

Speaking of leases, be sure to begin negotiating your lease before resigning at least several months before it ends. They will constantly raise the rent amounts one month before the lease ends, which they are allowed to do, but by then you probably won't have enough time to find another place.

Finally, in my year of staying here, I have had two different pest problems. Once was a hornets nest on my balcony, and the other was a termite problem. In summation, absolutely do not consider living here! The unlivable conditions are not worth the absurdly high prices. Read More

Excellent place to live. Nice location and kids friendly.
