525 | SMB

I lived in 525 for two years and would highly recommend it to anybody that is interested in living in the downtown SM area. The building is modern, clean, and run exceptionally well by Laurie! She is wonderful to work with, is exceptionally responsive, and keeps the place in tip-top shape at all times! Additionally, the location is walkable to the beach, countless restaurants, bars, shopping, etc.

I just hit the 7-year mark in this building. I was drawn to it for its location, good light and spacious bedrooms. I've since learned that in addition to all this, the building benefits from a great manager in Laurie, who keeps everything clean and organized. She goes above and beyond to make tenants feel welcome and comfortable. In addition to Laurie, the building benefits from the presence of Chelsea, who was a pleasure to deal with for leasing matters, and is now a great neighbor.

I am a resident of 4+ years and this is the best-managed building that I have ever lived in. Laurie, the on-site manager, keeps the building in impeccable shape, is always reachable, and cares about keeping tenants happy. Ownership is committed to safety and cleanliness of the entire property. Prices are competitive for the area.

Laurie, the building manager, is the best human being on earth. She went above and beyond in helping my husband and I make the move from Florida to Santa Monica. It's stressful enough moving from coast to coast DURING A PANDEMIC, but Laurie and her team made it way easier and stress free by helping in every way they could. People like that are very rare these days. We're lucky to have found them.

I lived at 525 SMB for 3 years and loved it! Great location that's close to the beach, shopping and coffee shops. The building is maintained very well (it looks immaculate) and they have a porter who is there nearly every day of the week. Laurie, the building manager, is always super helpful and truly cares. She goes above and beyond to take care of any issues/maintenance requests immediately. Every time I called she answered the phone. The management really cares about the well-being of the... building and residents. Great neighbors, too. I loved living here and highly recommend it!! Read More
