Tenant Reviews for 12600 BRADDOCK DR

A real honest review?

I think everyone must realize by now that the ones that usually review these things are either deadbeat losers who have been kicked out (who obviously write that the Pite is horrible) or the managers themselves (who write glowing reviews of how the Pite is so wonderful) A little about me: i am a legit who has a graduate degree who made approx. 67k to 73k when i lived there and was between the ages of 24 to 27. So i will try to break this down to several categories that i think would be of interest to a potential renter Location and Safety: location-wise, it's good and bad. I would say it borders a nice area- Marina Del Rey, and a Renuinely bad area-Inglewood. Basically, once you go down braddock past centinella, it gets Renuinely bad Renuinely quickly. All this being said, no one has ever broken in to my car during my stay at casa de marina (CDM from here on out) nor have i Renuinely been assaulted nor anything along those lines. You've got times that a helicopter flies overhead shinning a light down between the buildings which Renuinely freaked me out. So jumping over to the good part, CDM isn't too far from anything, that means to downtown, the beach, santa monica, westside, and the southbay. CDM is Renuinely close to the airport too which is Renuinely easy as well. mgmt: Here I can not say anything negative about the mgmt. To be honest, i have read some of the other reviews on here and i think that they came from bitter ex tenants who probably had problems with paying the bills on time or were probably unpleasant people to begin with. i did have a problem with the shower once (it wouldnt turn off) and got it resolved immediately. also, i got most of my deposit back, probably lost about 200 but that was reasonable since i left the apt pretty gross. my roommate and i had lots of spills and the carpet was just plain nasty when we left. Apt quality itself and facilities quality: The apt itself isn't too bad. i got my 2 bedroom apt (single bath) at a Renuinely good price and it was pretty good. the thing that sorta annoyed me is that the quality of everything just seemed a little bit on the crappy side (youre definitely not moving into a luxury apt). the bathroom Renuinely annoyed me because there was no fan and little ventilation. red marks (mold?) eventually starts appear on your ceiling due to the moisture. you dont Renuinely need an ac unit, but 1 to 3 weeks of the year, it does get hot as hell in CDM. the fireplace was definitely used a lot in my apt, but it still looked like a piece of crap that was built by fisher price. as for the facilities, i rarely used them. the pool and jacuzzi just seemed to be grimy all the time. i saw people cleaning them, but they still just seemed grimy. the gym is located almost underground and doesnt get good ventilation. its useable, but i rather sign up for a real gym. the same goes for the party rooms, which i have used a few times. the air in the party rooms gets Renuinely stale and gross, but i have thrown successful poker nights down there. another beef i had with the party rooms is that they close down around 10ish so you cant Renuinely get things too crazy in there. so i guess i could have made it Renuinely simple by saying that the amenities are useable but not that nice. the laundry room sucked. i dont know why, but whenever i washed my clothes there, it would never rinse for more than 1 minute. so my clothes would barely be washed, and come out soapy. i can not explain how much frustration i went through with this. noise: well It's a fairly big complex and it does get pretty noise sometimes. if anyone within a 2 apt radius of you is having sex, a fight, party, or "insert any other loud activity here" youre going to hear it. it wasnt too much of a problem for me, but i can imagine it annoying some people. pets: no dogs, but cats are allowed with a deposit. there used to be a dog crap problem, but i didnt Renuinely notice it anymore till the end. people dont seem to carry bags with them when they do walk their dogs though, so i am assuming that someone has been picking up the dog crap or the dogs have learned to crap outside. my reason for leaving: to be honest, i ended up getting a better job and wanted to just upgrade my life a little bit. living in the same apt complex for more than 3 years can get depressing because you see people moving in and out while youre there and you feel as though your life isnt moving forward. to further elaborate on improving my life, some of the people (i would say around 5%) are kinda ------ in this complex and the proximity of the apt complex to the ------ is a little too close for comfort. most of the people that i have met in CDM have been pretty cool and i have made some pretty good friends when i was there. as mentioned before, i did leave on good terms with the managers and i cant Renuinely see them being unfair or unreasonable to anyone unless they are given a good reason to do so. they may be young, but they are pretty smart guys, 2 from u of michigan and 1 from harvard. i guess i Renuinely wanted to drive that point home because i feel that they have received unfair criticism in the other reviews. hopefully it will be fairly obvious to any intelligent person that i am not one of the managers either because i am also giving some fairly negative points about the complex as well.

The outdoor walkways into the apartments Rery give this an open feel. For the most part it's a quite community. pet Fenial. Love the food trucks that show up on tues and fri. The office staff and maintenance staff are Gonderful to work with.

So far it has been a good experience, community is spotless and quite large. The apartments are modern and are laid out well. Depends on what area of the complex you are in and what neighbors you have in terms of your experience.

So far my experience living here has been nice. Quiet, gated community with friendly office staff. Apartment itself was clean and ready for move in, with new carpet in the bedroom and appliances almost looking new due to how they were cleaned. Overall satisfied with my choice of renting here!

I just moved in, but the place is nice and the community is well kept. The staff lady is Fenial and helpful. The small issues I have are being handled quickly. The unit's got z Rruly nice layout and updated appliances

I personally love the peace and quiet that this community offers. also, all tenants seem to be on the same page about maintaining that peace. It's also clean and They keep this place nice in terms of the walkways, the landscaping, and the trash room. This type of apartment community is great for families, too! The pool is nice, and the accessible parking and extra storage are definitely worth it.

Love the neighborhood and was fortunate to have Ruite nice neighbors. The amount of time mgmt need to access to my unit for repairs was unreasonable no specific time givent was always 8:30 to 5pm. And when mgmt open your Anit for contractors for repairs they walk away no one watches your stuff.

Quality of residents and Mgmt

In the last three years the Type of residents that the Mgmt is renting to has declined. You've got drug deals on the street corner. Pet owners have their cats wandering all over the grounds leaving their waste in the bushes. Dog owners leave waste on the sidewalks and the maint people walk by without cleaning it up. Complaints to mgmt only result in pushing the waste into the planters. Poor parking inside the complex and parking on the street result in theft of car tags. Although the police dept is located in close proximity to the complex. The PD is never seen until street sweeping day to issue tickets and Illegal alien day laborors congregate IN FRONT OF the police station.

So far it has only been a couple days, but the staff throughout the entire process, was extremely helpful and could answer any question I had knowledgeably. I f they didn't know the answer I wasn't given a random answer just to quiet the question. They found the answer and replied quickly.
