Tenant Reviews for 1738 CANYON DR

This building is RIGHT next to the freeway, which you can see on Google maps satellite view, so there is a lot of noise from that. There are helicopters overhead for hours, almost every night. There is a huge firehouse going up on the corner of Hollywood Blvd and Van Ness, a half block from the building The walls here are very thin; you can hear your neighbors talk, cough, and everything else The building is quieter in the back; if you are anywhere near the pool, it is LOUD, every evening until after 11 PM, and all day long on the weekends, with lots of kids all afternoon, every day. There are a lot of people at the pool who do not live in the building. There are some scary tenants mixed in with the good ones. How loud your neighbors are depends on who your neighbors are; there are a lot of parties, with loud drunks. There are a lot of dogs, with no size limits, rules on barking are not enforced, so there are dogs barking day and night, non-stop. The reviewer who said she didn't see any urine on the walls wasn't looking in the courtyard. There are dog owners who let their dogs lift their legs against the walls in the courtyard, and on the plants, as well as allowing their dogs to urinate on the hall carpets and in the elevators. Any packages left at your door get stolen, and the on-site manager does not sign for packages. The security doors are propped open all the time. The hallway lights are not on yet if you go to work early The laundry room is fine, but the machines only use cold water. Parking is fine, the landscaping is beautiful, the maintenance guy is nice, and the cleaning crew does a good job. Closets are big, and the building is right next to the freeway, so commuting is easy.

I think a lot of the reviews written on here are pretty old because I have never noticed dog urine on walls, people partying too loudly or anyone naked lol. My boyfriend and I moved in about a year and a half ago. We had some initial problems moving in but have been perfectly happy with the building ever since. It is kept very clean, there's always landscapers working outside and the maintenance man is really nice! A lot of people complain about noise but my apt is super quiet except for the trash trucks which are really annoying in the morning. I don't think I've ever heard my neighbors but maybe we just got lucky with quiet ones. I have gotten a package stolen from outside my door once which pisses me off but luckily my neighbor and I now have an agreement now where if we see a package outside each other's doors we take hold on to it to keep it safe. There is an underground garage for parking. You get 1 free spot and have to pay for more. We have two cars but there's always parking on the street with no time restrictions (except for street cleaning 2 days a week). The manager is really nice. He seems like he works pretty hard and actually cares. He also always answers his phone which was a huge step up from my last apt manager. They have a SMALL gym. Nothing special. A few weight machines and a bike that doesn't work. You have to pay $50 for a key but nobody is ever in there. There's also a sauna and a rec room which I've never used. The neighborhood is really nice. I feel very safe here. I go on a run almost everyday and have never felt uncomfortable. It's also close to a lot of things: 7-11, Birds, Gelsons, Brush Canyon Trail etc. There are occasionally people outside in the patio/pool area on the weekends but my apt is not close to that, so I don't know how loud it can get. Overall it's a really nice place to live. I've never felt unsafe and most of the people that live here are pretty friendly. I would recommend it to anyone looking to live in Hollywood. It's relatively cheap for the area and pets are allowed.

It's a great location, but the quality of renters has gone downhill dramatically. People leave laundry in the washers and dryers for hours, and they leave garbage on the floor. Some dog owners allow their pets to urinate on the walls and in public areas like courtyards and hallways. Dogs bark at all hours. The same people disturb long-time residents who have regular jobs, and the manager does nothing about the numerous complaints. Apartments are run down, and any improvements are the bare minimum. I will be moving soon (after more than ten years), and I doubt the next resident will stay more than a year. It's sad because there are some really nice neighbors who deserve to be treated better than this.

I've lived here for a decade and this past year it has definitely gone downhill. Three times this past year, people have tried to break in in the middle of the night, and I was on the top floor. One man tried to pry open my door with a key, another tried to kick it open repeatedly at 4am and another was a naked guy who lived in the building, trying to open any apartment that could be opened. Manager is apathetic. Don't move here if you're a single woman.

When I moved here, this place was great. Now, no rules are enforced, and there is no apparent screening of prospective residents. Pros-huge closets, allows big dogs, no limit on the number of pets per unit, reasonable rent, laundry room in the building, assigned parking spot. If you are fresh out of college, and looking for that type of atmosphere, this is a good fit for you. Or if you are a bartender, musician, etc. Cons-noisy, dirty, non-existent maintenance. There are big dogs, including pitbulls, running loose, and other dogs barking non-stop, all night. No one cleans up after their dogs,which means urine on the carpets and in the elevators. The manager rents to a lot of students, musicians, wanna be actors, etc, so the pool area/courtyard has been taken over at night by loud twenty somethings, who throw huge parties, with shrieking girls, drinking and drug use(pot smoking). During the day, parents use the courtyard as a playground, with no limit to the number of non-resident guests. The "secured entry" is non-existent, as the partiers prop the doors open. The manager no longer signs for deliveries, and anything left at your door is stolen. The mailboxes are outside, and frequently targeted.

This use to be a great complex. It is now over run with barking dogs, screaming children and loud parties in the courtyard. (Drugs are used openly) Security is non existent as parking garage and gates are often left open.

Apartment complex is in pretty good location but the apartments are not well maintained at all. They are very slow about fixing anything within the apartments. They spend more time and energy sweeping the sidewalks then anything else!

The manager rents to too many families with children who use the courtyard as a playground. They damage plants on terraces and make too much noise. Young residents have loud parties with loud guests. Cars are vandalized in the garage. Laundry room is a mess. Fixtures in apartments are old. Doors are constantly slamming. There are cigarette butts on the floors.

This apartment building is close to everything in Hollywood and is well- maintained. Nice neighborhood. Only complaint is that it is close to Hollywood Blvd. and sometimes there are the some straggler bums sleeping outside - making it feel less safe. Also - got my whole security deposit back which was nice.

Overall this complex offers pretty much everything. Apartments are spacious, located near the freeway and the center of Hollywood, pool and small gym. The only drawback is they often spend more money on outdoor upkeep rather than improving apartment quality.
