@51

@51, where do I start… Its all smoke and mirrors.
When you tour the place, it has that wow factor. not till you move in will you realize the major flaws this complex has.
Keys, you need a key to get anywhere and everywhere. doesn’t sound like a big deal but i assure you, ask any resident and they’ll share the same sentiment. How a building completed in 2015 doesn’t have key fobs, ill never understand.
Garage, This Mickey mouse garage is hilarious. The building is probably 30% rented and the guest parking already gets full every night. All the garage complaints from other Unilocalers are 100% accurate.
Apartments themselves look nice at a glance, but believe me you’ll feel differently when you move in. They cut corners everywhere and the walls are PAPER thin.
Heres where I disagree with other posts, I really enjoy the staff. from the leasing office down to the maintenance guys. They are all nice, humble people, doing the best they can. Its not their fault the Complex is an architectural mess.
Im usually not one to leave a review, but on 03÷17÷16 I received an email.
@51 staff is offering spring training tickets for good Unilocal reviews.
Im disappointed the staff choose such a disreputable route, its bad judgment if you ask me.
PS Cant wait for the condescending goatee guys rebuttal.

Where to start, I really, really tried hard to enjoy and get over all the constant let down at this place. More than once did I use their @51 service line to complain for about 95% of my incidents. Just yesterday I emailed to submit a list of my complaints to management. Then without a doubt I did not get the response I was looking for, they basically told me that I should have brought up the incidents as they happened and that they wanted to know what they could do to make my experience better, but again, they weren’t really listen to me, as I mentioned initially, I submitted all of my complaints and even emailed Lino and other office staff on some of the incidents and nothing was attempted to make my experience better then, now all I wanna do is leave this property, as I feel like this place is just a constant let down and continuous stress to my health. One of the main things causing harm to health is number one, the stress of always having something go wrong at this place, the other is the fact that my 1 bedroom apartment smells like sewage water ever since they closed the water pipes back in, February 19, 2016, a pipe by the boiler is where this stench is coming from, and it somehow worsens when I used the washer. I have had it, I feel like the next best thing for me is leave this property as seek legal advice and other means if they don’t let me leave with proper terms. The worst of things is that I am hardly ever there, and this still happens, I sometimes work over 12 hours a day, and look forward to coming home, but then get surprised by what seems to be constant let downs, from awful smells to an unleashed dog. I had so many incidents, that I am sure I would bore with the list of them, so I hope you find this enough, to formulate a decision when looking into this place. For the guy that messages me from Florida, on how I liked my experience here, and whether I would recommend it, I would say, no, I no longer enjoy or am happy living here, nor do I recommend this property.

I became a resident in October knowing it’s a new property and may have some first year issue’s. The location is great, new unit, rented for that and the pool, and common area is great. The pool has a LA vibe. Management either love’s me or hates me I don’t known but I let them aware if there are any issues and they have always responded in a timely manner with professionalism. They place is keep immaculate. Thanks to the attention to detail that the full time housekeeper they have. Give it a year and this will be one of the top place to live on the corridor if it isn’t already.

The @51 building is gorgeous. My significant other and I have been living here for about 6 months now and have zero complaints. The pool is clearly the highlight and a hit with all of my friends I bring over. The rec room is constantly being updated with new tvs and better lounging experiences every time I go up to hang out. The gym is standard but there is all the needs one would want to stay fit. Every need, question, or concern I have had has been answered in a timely manner by management and a pleasant eagerness to accommodate me. I would recommend @51 to anyone who is looking for a great living experience.
I usually do not write reviews but after reading the others I do not feel like it does the management team, nor the complex, justice. I feel like the contracts and agreements are fair and up front. The management team has handled everything with integrity and proper expectations. Keep up the good work you guys! We love it!

If I could give zero stars, I would!
2 stolen bikes, broken fire pits, cold hot tubs and an apartment reeking of sewage for weeks is enough to make a «luxury apartment» feel like you are living in the worst neighborhood.
Don’t let all the bells and whistles (or «amenities» as the leasing agent would spin it) impress you.
Not worth the price.

Awful, awful, awful! Kindness gets you nowhere. I am not trying to be malicious; I just truly do not want anyone else to feel the way I felt living here. I have never felt more helpless, frustrated and disrespected in my life. I was so excited to move into this complex. After I toured, I didn’t even look anywhere else. This was my first mistake. Do your research, there are thousands of negative reviews of Mark Taylor properties out there and they are all VERY accurate. The staff is only interested in getting you to sign the contract, after that, you are very much on your own. My unit leaked consistently all summer long in about 5 different areas. It took over a month and 3 different attempts (I think, but I don’t know because the staff doesn’t leave notice when they enter your apartment) to fix the leaks. The staff left my front door wide open all day after entering to do maintenance and then tried to avoid taking responsibility for it. My brand new bike was stolen out of a locked bike rack by the landscaping staff. My initial calls the front office about this were ignored, when I finally got in touch with them they tried to tell me that according the security tapes, my bike was never there. I had to ask them to review to tapes; they made no attempts to help me. I did not file a police report (second mistake!) I’ve have 3 flat tires since moving into @51 due to the construction. You will note that the budget for the complex was spent on the pool, things such as the windows, doors, gates and locks are all prone to breaking. Honestly, this complex was never finished. There’s no seating around the grills, the restaurant and bar I was promised never opened. This place is shady, and the staff is trained in avoiding taking responsibility for any issues that arise. If you do decide to live here, my advice is prepare to be nickel and dimed for everything, document everything and if something illegal happens, get the police involved. Oh, and be prepared to be bombarded with rude mass e-​mails from the staff. I gave them every chance to make things right with me and maybe that was where I went wrong, but you will never hear anything but «no» from these people. This whole experience left me in a sad spot for a while but at the end of the day, I broke my lease and am on to much better things. FYI, even if you have a valid reason for breaking your lease, such as I had, you will still end up paying over $ 1,000. This is not a standard practice; Mark Taylor has let OTHER people out of their lease, just not me. Do yourself a favor and go for a real luxury apartment complex (there are tons!) and let this one continue to fail.
P. S. — what’s with the sarcastic responses from the «business manager» on all these reviews? I read them all, and they are accurate. This is the kind of disrespect you can expect living at @51.

Not the Mark Taylor Residential experience I’m used to. Moved here recently and haven’t had the best experience. The building is beautiful and a great selling point but management could definitely use some work. Be prepared to be nickel and dimed.

So far, so good. I’ve lived here since August and it’s been a really nice place to live.
Positives: The management has been extremely friendly and helpful, and the maintenance is spot-​on. I use the gym regularly and take the free yoga class on Tuesday nights. The pool area is beautiful, but honestly, I haven’t used it yet because it’s still too hot for me out there. I’m waiting for 90 degrees or less outside! The grounds are nice and everything is clean and neat. I’m looking forward to seeing what restaurant opens on the first floor. Will be nice to have something on-​site I can just walk down to.
I have a studio and the use of space in it is great. Nice closet space, a big bathroom, a washer/​dryer, granite kitchen countertops, faux-​wood floors. It’s not huge, but the space is utilized nicely by the designers of the building. I’ve lived all over the country, and this is the nicest studio I’ve ever seen when it comes to layout and use of space.
This is a very modern, city-​living building, so the apartments fit that style. If that’s your thing, you’ll love it. It’s definitely mine. Close to lots of restaurants, shops, etc. Perfect location off the freeway with easy access to getting around town.
One oddity: Parking is a little weird… the assigned spots are not super-​close to your actual apartment location, and the parking garage is built on half floors that don’t match up to the floors of the building, so you either walk up or down half a flight of stairs to get to your level, which isn’t fun when pulling a roller with groceries or film equipment.
Other than that, however, so far it’s been nice. The building isn’t full, so I can’t say yet whether it will get noisy or annoying in any way. But right now, things are good.

I don’t live here. I won’t live here. My sister lives here and is now trying to break her lease. My fiancé and I were considering on moving here. But not anymore! They’ve been open for months, and might have about 10 rooms rented out… I think we know why… The only thing great is the pool. The quality of the apartment is very European aka small and ikea-​ish. The hallways are very dark. The parking is horrible if your household has two cars. There is no designated uncovered parking like most apartments have. They’ll tell you to use the restaurant’s parking… Don’t believe me? Go for a tour. Erika says most people that live there don’t even have a car… Come up with a solution not a lie…
Erika, @51’s assistant community manager is rude, she took us on a tour and was very dry, not personable, and was more like a sales person.
She told me that my sister just needs to sign a form to break the lease and CONFIRMED emailing it back was ok because she is out of the country. She emails in the form on ⁹⁄₁. I follow up days later and her staff says there is nothing on file stating she is leaving. Erika emails back saying that a form needs to be signed in person and not just emailed. Really? She’s out of the country. We just want to break the lease, pay the buyout fees, turn in our keys and move out on ¹⁰⁄₁.
Look at Broadstone Sixteen 75 on East Morten Avenue before considering @51, trust me! Place is amazing! It’s less expensive by far, has more square footage with great amenities! This is where we are moving.
If you plan on moving into @51, ask to work with someone else other than Erika.
Good luck!
