Tenant Reviews for 3201 OVERLAND AVE

I have been living here for the past two years and thank god I finally moved out of this joint. Here is why: 1. Expect a lot of noise - walls are paper thin, partying and TV broadcasting every night and most of all, you can hear every footstep of your neighbor above you. You can complaint and call the guards but the noises will return the next night (trust me) 2. Management is slow on fixing things - think it took them like eight months to fix one of the elevators 3. People smoke everywhere - common areas, stairways, parking garage and even the elevator 4. Filled with college kids - back when I moved in, this place had a lot of young professionals and families who care. Now, it's mostly college kids who don't care. I found out that Management signed a deal with a local college to get the kids into here for what else, $$$$. That really changed the place

Beware of ONE angry tenant posting multiple angry reviews on this website!! The tenant doesn't even live here anymore. The building has 430 apartments and over 1000 residents. Most of them are VERY happy. Here is the best advice. Visit the building and decide for yourself, talk to ACTUAL tenants you see and meet in the building, you are guaranteed to get great reviews from ACTUAL TENANTS. But don't listen to one angry reviewer on a website like this one. Make up your own mind and judge for yourself. I have lived in the building for over 10 years and can assure you that Woodcliff is a great place to live.

Recently several fake reviews have been posted by Woodcliff's staff members in an attempt to increase the ratings of this disgusting place. Please beware of the false reviews. I lived in this place for a year and move out as soon as my lease was up. Where should I begin, hmmm... allow me give you an idea: cockroaches, disgusting odors in the hallways, unavailable/broken machines in the gym room, gazillions of rules, occasional lack of hot water, loud parties at the pool, construction noise, street noise, constant requests from management to enter your apartment and violate your privacy, and a very bad management and rude staff at the rental office. Of course you will not see any of that when they give you the wonderful tour, but wait till you sign the lease and move in. If you don't believe me and insist on renting an apartment at Woodcliff, I recommend signing a 6 month lease, so you could have the freedom to move out in 6 months, once you discover all (or some) of the above mentioned problems. Good luck!

I've lived at Woodcliff for 4 years now and have had an excellent experience. The complex is very well-kept and has all the amenities you'll ever need (gym rec/study room open until 1 am everyday, pools / sauna / lots of laundry rooms). My apartment itself is a spacious and bright 1-bedroom / 1-bath with a balcony that overlooks a well-maintained courtyard. Woodcliff is also centrally located in the Westside and is near Culver City, Century City, Venice and Westwood. Going elsewhere the 10 and 405 freeways are right around the corner, so it's a very convenient place to rest your head. The few times I've required maintenance or have needed assistance from management, they've all acted promptly, professionally and efficiently.

I've lived here for a year now and I'm staying another year because I like it so much... for so many reasons. The management here is GREAT! They have worked with me since day one with anything I have needed. I have even had a few issues (that were not their fault) and they took care of everything right away. All the girls in the office are really nice too, and always have been. A new manager just came in, and she is great too, though I never had a problem before. They have always taken great care of the place (one of the most well maintained I have seen) but now they are doing all kinds of other maintenance too. They just redid all the pools and have plans to redo a lot of other things like the grills and the elevators. But the place is beautiful with lots of flower gardens, waterfalls, and a great view from the pool. Most of the people here are in their twenties and thirties it seems, making for a nice fun vibe. The building is really big, but it's laid out in a unique way across a lot of space, so it doesn't feel like you have 100 neighbors at all. Personally I have never had major problems with noise from upstairs neighbors, and they have several laundry rooms, mail rooms and BBQ areas, two pools, and two hot tubs to make sure there is enough of everything for everyone. Also have a good size gym, and a rec room with plenty of space to study or play pool. People have complained about having to use your key all the time - I think that is great because the place is fairly safe as long as tenants don't leave the gates and doors propped open. I've never had any problems here, and other people who have been here for 4 and 5 years haven't had problems either. Oh, and you don't have to use your key to get into the gate...they have remotes that get you in with ease. It's also in a great location because downtown Culver City is really close and Venice Beach is only a few miles away! Also close to the 10 and 405 freeways so easy access to work or school. Oh, and there's a really yummy Chinese food place to order from (Yohana's). Every apartment complex has its issues - but this one doesn't have very many.

It's a beautiful apartment building and in a great location! It's close to the freeway, supermarkets, malls, beaches, the airport and they also have nice social events two to three times per year. I like their recreation area, nice pool and jacuzzi. The office staff is friendly and very helpful. I started living here with my cousin before and i met my husband here at the christmas party eight years ago. Now i am still enjoying living here with my husband. It's everything that i need to stay in los angeles!

We simply love the Woodcliff apt. we have been here for a year and have also extended our stay with another year ahead. Lots of space, good storage system, excellent Management with good maintenance staff.The apt has good amenities, beautiful landscape with brookside,greeneries well maintained gym, table tennis, recreation center,swimming pool etc.Ya, i wish there was some play area for the kids. Though Palms rancho Park is at walkable distance with Library. Ya some may not like the apartment depending on the selection of apartment. if its on swimming pool or school side it can be little noisy. Management, Maintenance are great At the end i am very satisfied with my stay here.

Lived here 1 year now with 2 kids and don't have any complaints. I came from a small 2 br/2ba apartment nearby and was ecsatatic to have the space we have now. The ample storage helps tremendously also. Maintenance has been responsive. Front office has always been friendly and helpful from the very beginning. I really enjoy all the amenities. Only things I'd change if I could would be parking,laundry and heavy footed upstairs neighbors. The place would be perfect if parking and laundry were closer to my unit. There is noise from the school behind the complex but only during the days. I work full-time and my kids are in school all day so this isn't a bother. Having the extra parking is helpful during evenings and weekends when the school doesn't use the lot. The complex has beautiful grounds and greenery. Unfortunately, some tenants have to respect for the landscape nor for the earth in general because I occasionally spot litter like candy wrappers or empty cups hanging around.

This location just minutes from the 405 and 10 is perfect for anyone who travels locally a lot. Close to the best of West LA's neighborhoods- it's really perfect for young professionals. I've lived in the building for several years and have had only good experience with the staff. Maintenance issues have always been addressed within 24 hours- no exception. No in-unit laundry is a bummer but I've never had an issue using the laundry rooms in the complex. High security and outstanding location make this place perfect for single women or other young couples!

I moved in last year and everything was fine. They gave me the studio right over the back garage door and didn't tell me how noisy it would be before moving in. There is also a school in the back so do not think about sleeping in during the weekdays. Service was great until I wanted to upgrade to a one bedroom. I was willing to pay more and sign another year lease. They didn't let me upgrade so I found a new place. The one bedroom I wanted is still available so now they will have that vacant apt and mine. Not smart.
