Sunset Ridge at La Crescenta

So far the building looks clean and calm. I’m going to rent a until that is going to be completely remodeled. I hope everything goes smooth so my parents will be able to enjoy the complex and the neighborhood.

It’s kool & quiet. I don’t hafta worry bout cn 2 many pigz around here. There’s enuff 2 do if u wanna hang in the area or drive n2 L.A.

I am so happy I no longer live here. I lived here for 4 years and there were a lot of problems. I mean the place looks very nice on the outside. Updated and pretty hardwood floors and marble counter tops in the kitchen but the Management is horrible. It takes them forever to fix something. It rained one day and all the units on the 1^st floor got flooded badly and our furniture was damaged. We reported to the manger that there was damage to hardwood floor and she said someone was coming over, nobody came over. We had a screen for our window that was supposed to be replaced, took them 2 years to fix it. A lot of plumbing problems in this building as well. I also really hated the laundry facility at this place. The machines were broken or unavailable and they smelled really bad. People would leave their clothes in the washer/​dryer over-​night. I could write an entire page on all the bad things that happened here, so happy I moved the hell out of here. Ashli the manger is very friendly but I think maybe she is too busy to tend to matters in a timely fashion.

Love the location but I dealt with ants for several months and the problem was not addressed by management. Also maintenance is slow and unresponsive when asked to fix shoddily built structures like towel racks.
And to top it off, I was charged several hundred dollars for a «cleaning fee» when I moved out even though I left the place completely empty. It costs 200 bucks to throw some mop n glo on the floor?

I’ve been residing at Sunset Ridge since 2009. In the 3 years I’ve lived here not a single request or concern ever go unattended. Response is always quick and action is just as fast. The property manager and her team is the primary reason this place looks and runs as smooth as it does.
Going from a single to one bedroom I got a good feel for the place. I went from being on the ground level facing Montrose Ave to an upper unit facing the mountains that separate us from Burbank. It’s a nice place. Comfortable and quite. It’s a huge complex but quite opposite in regards to foot traffic (typical of large apt buildings.) It seems like the place has more studio’s and 1 bdrms than it does 2+ bdrms. It might explain the lack of screaming kids.
Conclusion, place is awesome. I would recommend it to anyone who loves a nice and clean place to come home to. Quite. Fit for singles, couples & students — not so much for big families and kennels (still pet friendly.) This will be our last month here. Switching to a house. We’ll miss this place. Nice peoplessss.
P. s. Regarding deposits, what do you expect when you vacate and don’t leave the way you found it. You will be taxed. It’s seems logical enough.
Peace

I have no idea how you (Barbara) got a hold of the manager at all. I have been trying to contact the manager for 2 days and left multiple messages to ask about a 1 bedroom apartment. NEVER heard back from him/​her. I will delete this post if I get a call back within today. which I seriously doubt.
I just noticed that two other reviews complaining about this place are not the only ones. There are more in the «Filtered Reviews». Something smells fishy here…
Update 8÷24÷2012 — I still haven’t heard from the manager yet. After 10+ missed calls and 3 messages left, NOTHING. Unbelievable! I’m actually glad that I found out how irresponsible this manager is before I could make the worst choice of my life.

I agree with the first posting. Really bad managers here. I lived here for a year and the managers were really bad in dealing with any issues. Repairs, noise, damages or just trying to get a hold of them. The place looks nice, but over all you wont want to be their long.

The interior of the apartment is nice with wooden floors and granite counter tops. However the manager will take a while to respond to an issue/repair…if they respond at all that is. I know of at least a few residents that were always dealing with water leaking into their apartments. Also, management will try to be clever when giving back your deposit by finding damages that were not even yours.
