Downey Court Apartments

We live here for almost 6 months… We like the apartment complex, the bedroom is big enough to have a crib if you have a baby … The lighting in the living room is really nice and the wood floor too… the manager is always on place, He has been really nice… And we don’t have any complaints about the neighborhood. It’s really close to downtown Downey… The city of Downey is a really good community to live.

We have been living here for 3 weeks now and so far it’s been good. The community is really cute. We love the wood floors in the living room. Makes it look modern. I love the double vanity and double closet. There are a few details that should have been looked at and fixed before renting the apartment but nothing a frame can’t hide. The manager has been really nice and cool.

Lived here for a year and can say that Downey Court Apartments is a good place to live and has an acceptable environment. A couple of things can improve but there are also things that were enjoyable about this place.
Strengths:
–My unit came with hardwood floors, AC, and best of all I had a corner unit.
–The complex is pretty big, but there are three buildings which make the property feel a bit more intimate.
–My neighbors were friendly. Occasionally there were some fights and screams with couples living in other units, but nothing that resulted in police intervention.
Weaknesses:
–The parking. You only get one space per unit. I also tried paying extra for another space, but there was always a wait list and it was a bit overpriced. Stewart and Gray is a really busy street. Many accidents on the corner of Rives. I counted 3 in less than a week.
— The units have an on-​site gym. Pretty neat … Except it’s always closed. My days off from work were Mondays and it was always closed. Also, the hours are inconvenient for people who work 8 – 5.
Overall, it’s a good start off place. That’s why I give it a 4 out of 5. :)

We like the double closets, the vanity hall (two sinks is awesome), the wood floors, we luckily have our parking in front of our door but not all units do. The neighbors are respectful. Haven’t had a theft or break in problem. It’s pet friendly. Despite the busy street it’s pretty quiet. Two pools. 5 minute bike ride to downtown Downey (food restaurants, movies, library, post office, markets, entertainment, park, coffee shops, etc.) Reasonable rent rate.
Minimal maintenance problems with plumbing, but very quick response when we’ve had some. Enjoy the on site gym just wished it opened at 6am and not 9am.

We lived here for a year. The only problems we had were one neighbor who liked to party and even fight outside their apartment a couple of times, and some roaches (though the manager sent someone for that). And Stewart and Gray is a major street so it can be loud.
But other than that, we’ve had good experiences. The rest of our neighbors were nice and respectful. The place was clean, and our apartment was freshly painted with new carpets, very clean and sunny. The manager was always nice to us, and whenever we had an issue he’d send someone to fix it in a timely manner. Our air conditioner and heater worked just fine. It’s close to the 105 and 710 freeways so it’s easy to go anywhere.

This place in appearence looks nice but they fail to tell u people smoke weed outside thete apt. kids runaround the court yard and are noisy, it gets infested, neighbors fight outside with there spouces at 1am in the morning, neighbors are rude and drive there cars in with very loud music, the airconditioning a joke barely works, this summer with the airconditioning I had to still take 4 cold showers to stay cool, the plumbing gets clogged because instead of REALLY cleaning apt after pple move out they paint! & paint falls off and glogs drains & then they want u to pay! Did I mention someone died here because of bad gas lines/​heaters and they still havent fixed just added detecter and didn’t say why they installed! the gas company wont turn on heater for that reason!
& they charge $ 1020.00 for a 1bdrm apt/​$ 1300.00 for 2bdrm!
