  Searching for an apartment can be a stressful experience. I find that most places don't even have the common courtesy to respond to your inquiries whether it be email or a voice message. The first time I submitted a request, Blake, one of the leasing managers contacted me within a couple of hours. He was very pleasant on the phone and in person. He gave me a tour of the complex and was very detailed and thorough with all my questions and outlined all the aspects of the apartment I was interested in. Even after moving in, Blake has been very friendly helping me navigate the questions I have. Ares, who is the head of maintenance/repair, is also fantastic. The one issue I asked to get taken care of, he visited my unit within the hour to fix it! Joanna, the other manager, is also super friendly and very accommodating. Outside of the freshly painted interior, the place also has a lounge area in the lobby I frequently visit to do work on my laptop. It's very nice and updated. My office away from the office. Besides that, I find the walls of my apartment subdue nose rather well, helping with a good night's rest. Overall, a fantastic, relatively affordable place in the heart of downtown Monrovia.

  Such beautiful apartments with plenty of hangout spaces within the complex. Love that it's so close to many shops and plazas. Thank you Blake and Johanna for making the process run smoothly!

  Around last year August, the property was sold to Aperto Management. A company widely known for chaos and dishonest practices based on reviews on Google. Their unethical practice was apparent from my very first interaction and remained so throughout the course of my tenancy. Within the first month of their transition, I received an email stating that the office requires: proof of income, 3 recent paystubs and government ID. I ignored the email as I been living in Oak Park for over a year prior to that and all that information was already submitted with my initial application. I received multiple phone calls from the office stating that it is “mandatory” and “required” with a deadline. When I decided to meet with them in person regarding this, I received the same sense of urgency from the office to submit my paperwork. I was even told an incentive of rent credit will be applied to my next rent payment. In this same meeting, one of the men in the office (who is now the property’s handyman) told me that the paperwork is “not mandatory”, but the office is stating that so more people will submit the paperwork for the loan application. All of this hassle was for them to apply for a loan to upgrade the property to build a “dog park” and possibly build “a community pool”. This loan application was not told to the tenants. I also found it interesting that they kept repeating that this building has a lot of elderly tenants. I recall feeling uneasy with that statement. They kept repeating the rent credit incentive if I submit the paperwork and promised that rent won’t increase when they do upgrade the property. I told them “no”, as I didn’t feel comfortable submitting personal information and I felt that their words were disingenuous. I also found all three of the office employees very calculating and rude from the very beginning of my experience with them. With Aperto Management, they had no system in place that proved to be very chaotic. Eveything that was once operating smoothly with prior management became a struggle: paying rent efficiently, contacting the office, placing a service request, failed apps that they wanted us to download. Even the grounds became unkempt and non functioning equipment in the gym remained as is despite tenants notifying them of the issues. Earlier this year, the office distributed a notice that they are increasing rent and they also changed to mandatory month-to-month lease. The mandatory month-to-month lease concerned me as I felt it gave management greater flexibility to raise rent anytime. Similar to the other prior tenants, they took the majority of my security deposit. As expected, property manager is difficult to reach. But that was always the case from day one. In my experience, the management team are very disorganized and communication is consistently poor. In general, the apartment walls are very thin and you can hear your neighbors above and next to you. The fire alarm goes off multiple times a week at any time of the day. I would not recommend this property as long as it is managed by Aperto Management/Johanna E. and her team. It’s such a shame how quickly an apartment complex can change with just new change of management.
