Villas at Playa Vista - Malibu Apartments

I’ve hit a breaking point with this place. I moved here because of the amenities, but nothing ever works. The jacuzzi is out of service 1/3 times I want to use it. I rented the party room to watch nba playoffs with family and friends. The TVs were not working and when I called them, their response was “oh yeah, we have a maintenance scheduled for it next week.” Now I have 50 people coming to a room where all 3 TVs are out of order. And they were NEVER going to warn me of this??? I’m so upset.

Update: The worst management and worst place to live possible. They shut down both elevators in our building for no emergency purposes and when I said that would be an issue for getting our baby and stroller outside for a doctor’s appointment they could not have cared less. Truly the most incompetent management and worst run building in all of LA County. AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!

One of the worst possible places you could ever live. Fire alarms go off constantly. At least 7-8 full days in 2024... and the building management does not care at all for the impacts on babies/pets. They provide no information other than the alarms will be on all day and they can provide zero accommodation regardless of the impacts to health/safety for babies or others that have hearing related health issues. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Read More

It went from the Ritz to the Marriott to a Motel 6. I have to wear headphones in my own home as they refuse to manage the noise at the pool and are allowing partiers to move in so that the walls shake from above, below, and the sides. The security is a joke as I've found many people who don't live here wandering around and the residents are so rude to the wonderful facilities team who do the upkeep by letting dogs crap in hallways and leave items they are too lazy to take down to the recycling... themselves for them. The resident office doesn't seem to stress what's in the lease and community rules, only caring about filling empty rooms. Read More

The Villas at Playa Vista Malibu succeeded in making me believe that I was moving into a luxury apartment building. Everything seemed too good to be true, and it was. While the building does have great amenities and asthetics, it is not worth the annoyance of paper thin walls and horribly maintained necessities.

The insulation in this building has to be some of the worst of its kind. My girlfriend and I originally moved into a 4th floor apartment (5th floor being the highest). We could hear... every single thing from the apartment above us. Foot steps, talking, TV, even them going to the bathroom. It got to the point where we knew their exact schedule from the moment they woke up in the morning, until they went to sleep at night.

Luckily, we were able to move to a top floor apartment within a couple months. We made the switch and hoped to finally have peace. Unfortunately, as soon as we moved in, we noticed that we could now hear the apartment beneath us just as well, if not worse. We are no longer able to sleep in, or even relax at home comfortably.

Don't let the enticing appearance of The Villas at Playa Vista fool you, this construction of this building cut costs at every corner. My biggest regret was signing a 14 month lease and now having to wait for the end. If somehow you are able to find comfort in constant shaking floors and walls, this may be the place for you!

I have lived at Malibu villas for 2 1/2 years. I live in building one.. personally my DOGS, My husband my son and I , are completely satisfied and have enjoyed living here. Irvine company has exceptional properties throughout all over. We have lived in two of their managed buildings one in Hollywood and this building Malibu .. We love our walks in the community, the dogs love going to the dog park 4 min away, my son walks to whole foods and to soccer field, feeling always safe, and that’s so... important for me because I know he is safe. The gym has great equipment and the
FREE workout classes provided by Malibu are awesome. The amenities of the buildings and in the overall community are
Satisfactory ..
By biggest compliment goes to The management and the staff that keep this place clean are exceptional without a doubt, they work so hard to keep the entire complex clean. The functionality of the building is great .. elevAtors and doors have occasionally broken down, but management is very quick to get elevAtors, and any electrical malfunction running by calling in repair ASAP... It is not easy to keep the parts running in a 400 unit complex with 600 tenants. Great job !!!! Price is fair, it should be higher for the area, due to its price point of $4 million dollar homes just around the corner. My advice is keep rent high to keep the area exclusive. I Pay for the area not the building, so thank you Malibu for a nice building to go with the nice area View Less Read More
