Brookstone Apartment Homes

Brookstone is such a great place to live! My husband and I love it here :)
— Management is very responsive when there are issues
— The maintenance team is on-​site, helpful and friendly
— Lovely landscaping on the property
— Gated, very safe family environment
— Spacious units, reasonable rent
— Pet friendly (super cute pets around), and it stays clean; people do a good job of picking up after their pets
— Decent neighbors; no one too loud or obnoxious
— The only challenge is guest parking. Tenants are assigned spots per # of bedrooms, which is great. Guest parking is limited (2 small visitor lots fill up quickly) so guests primarily park on the street.
I remember when we first walked into Brookstone (feeling a bit jaded after checking out 10+ properties), it just felt like home. We could imagine living here– that’s a great feeling. And we still feel that way :)

Went in to view an apartment and they require cats to be declawed and neutered. Definitely not cat friendly and the grounds are dirty looking.

Met with Angie and was shown around the complex with my boyfriend, it looks nice and the 1 bedroom we were shown is perfect for us. Angie was super nice and informative during the tour. I sincerely hope there will be an opening in September when we’re looking to move in. *fingers crossed*

One of best apartments in this area
Good price
Pet friendly
Friendly management
There are not many parking spots for guests.

I have lived here since August 2014, and I can honestly say that living here has been nothing short of a great experience. My wife and I looked at lots of apartments before eventually settling on this one, and we have no regrets. I’m not sure who the management company is, but they keep the place looking great and clean. They also tend to have someone come in and fix whatever problems exist within the same day; that’s unusual in his promptness.
In terms of convenience, it’s pretty close to Target, H-​mart, and the freeway.
So what’s not great about Brookstone? It’s at least $ 100 more per month than competing apartments, even ones next to H mart. It’s worth it though once you start living in it.
Parking is a big problem. My wife and I live in a 1 bdrm, and for a while one of us had to find outside parking, which is extremely crowded as is since the surrounding area is pretty much also apartments. My wife had to wait a while before she could be assigned parking.
But living at Brookstone tops all that, so kudos.

We moved in November and to be honest, we love it here. The staff is beyond helpful and friendly, Soloman & Amador are wonderful at fixing anything that goes wrong, and they do it so quickly! As for management, they’re truly one of a kind. I never felt like I was just another tenant, they have made our whole family feel like this was home, even if it was just temporary. The apartment was cozy, yes it gets boiling hot in the summer (we had an upstairs unit) but we bought a portable floor a/​c and that made it perfect. The pool was never packed in the day, always clean, gym was always kept clean and had functioning machines, never did I have to wait for a machine either. As for the neighbors, this place was home. I never met a nicer crowd. I don’t know how many times someone would find one of our kids blankets or toys, that would be dropped on the way to the car and they would put it right at our door step, or help me carry a grocery bag up the stairs (as I juggled my work bag, and two kids!) the complex was always clean and quiet, and as a mom who was home every night alone (dad works graveyard) I always felt so safe. Everyone that visited us, always was so shocked at how peaceful it was here or how friendly everyone was. Brookstone apartments is its own perfect community and it deserves even more stars then 5!

Ive been living here for about 3 years now and really enjoyed my stay. Soloman and Armador are the two heros of the complex. If i ever had a problem they were there to save the day. A/​C broke about two weeks ago and Joseph (building manager) had them switch it out for a new one. You get your share of little issues here and there but nothing out of the norm. Great place to stay and great community.

Haven’t lived in an apartment for a very long time but I’m glad we chose this apartment complex. They have a friendly helpful staff, on site maintenance, crystal clear pool, big jacuzzi, friendly neighbors and the best part is… they are very dog friendly and has bags readily available for you to pick up after your dog. Staff is friendly with your pet also. It’s hard to find that in apartment complexes. No cockroaches either. Fairly quick response if you have any maintenance problems. Overall, I would recommend this place to my friends or anyone that’s looking for an apartment and has a dog or cat. Super friendly and the staff takes their time on their free time to talk to the tenants and play with their dog when walking them.

This is my first time living in an apartment. I am very pleased with my decision. Since the complex allows pets, at first, I was a little leery about the potential noise. But, it actually is pretty quiet and clean. They have pet stations throughout, and the residents are also good about cleaning up after their pets. Not to mention that the grounds are well maintained.
My apartment is very spacious compared to other complexes. It’s not one of the «updated’ ones, but it is perfectly fine that way. The open layout is great for entertaining! The washer and dryer are so worth the extra $ if that is an option you are looking for.
What makes it a great place to live here is the staff. They are very professional, courteous, helpful, and nice. Anytime I have had a problem in the apartment they are prompt to fix it. I never have had to call twice. I would compare them to Nordstrom in the manner of treating the residents.
I am happy, and feel safe living here. And now they have security ²⁴⁄₇.

I moved from Northern California to Southern California unexpectedly and moved into Brookstone Apartments. The staff is extremely helpful, very nice, and prompt compared to other places I’ve been. They’re very organized, knowledgeable, and willing to work with you if there are any issues.
The complex is very clean and well kept. When I first moved in, it was pretty quiet, but recently there has been some construction, so I’m sure it’ll quiet down once they’re done. I was actually quite surprised at how quiet it was, considering that pets are allowed.
I haven’t had any pest problems. The only issue I had were ants recently, but not to the point where I’ve had to call in to get it fixed. Raid was enough to solve the problem.
The apartments themselves are nice and the price you pay for it is fairly reasonable compared to other complexes around buena park.
The only thing that sucks is the parking. You only get one and if you have multiple cars, you’ll have to pay for an extra car port. Not a lot of street parking and with the new construction, it’s become harder to find decent parking.
Other than that, it’s ok.

Apartment Complex is very clean, well landscaped and well maintained.
My 1 bed 1 bath apartment is spacious and well ventilated. Biggest plus here is Washer & Dryer in the unit. That is just a luxury, as far as our family is concerned.
We just finished our 1 year lease and I renewed it last week. Rent did not increase much. Very happy with the rent over all.
Staff — I have interacted mostly with Joseph & he is a perfect gentleman. Due to the nature of my job, we move a lot and have lived in a lot of apartments, in a lot of different places. Not everywhere do you get such a friendly Apartment Community manager. Also, Angela is always very helpful.
Maintenance Staff — Solomon and Amador are extremely efficient people. Their usual response time is within 24 hours. They are very friendly and helpful.
I get one Carport. You could buy one more spot if you have a second car. You will be put on the wait list though. I have not had any bug or roach problems.
Overall, I’m very happy with the choice I made.
The only thing that will be good to have is some guest parking spots. Having said that there are ample parking across the street for guests.

A great apartment homes community. Professional and friendly staff always willing to help. Secured with security guard on site. A wonderful place for kids and adults.

This apartment complex is always clean, and I’ve never had any bug issues. They are prompt with your service requests and complete the job in a very timely manner. It’s super quiet, and they have pet stations!
Their visitor parking absolutely sucks. I’ve never seen such horrendous guest parking. My apartments closet doors were falling apart which they were prompt to fix. I really enjoy living at an apartment with such friendly management with a clean community. Their apartments are spacious and the fitness gym/​pool is great to have as well!

The apartment complex is nice and the grounds are well maintained. I love that there is plenty of grass and trees surrounding the apartments. The staff Joseph and Anne are always very helpful and do their best to accommodate your needs.
The maintenance staff are wonderful and come quickly to help you. When they drive by on their golf carts they always wave and smile. It’s also comforting to know a majority of the staff live in the apartments and there is a security guard at night as well. My immediate neighbors are friendly and there seems to be good diversity.
My only complaints is there isn’t much guest parking and the wall unit for apartment is a dust collector. It can get hot without having central ac and bad for allergies so that’s something to keep in mind. Theft has been reported in the parking lot and apartments thankfully I did not have any issues with safety. I think it can be avoided if you don’t leave valuables in the car and make sure to lock your apartment. The surrounding area outside of complex is a little sketchy but the complex itself is gated and I never felt unsafe.
A pet friendly community and overall good experience at Brookestone!!! Received my security deposit back sooner than expected. Moving to be closer to work.

I have lived here for about 2.5 years and I am pleased with the community. I have never had a problem with management or neighbors for the most part. I am not the most punctual when paying my rent but they try their best to work with me. Keep in mind that the management have rules to follow as well so I understand that. There is a nice pool and jacuzzi along with a nice fitness gym which recently got new machines. The property is very well maintained. When there are needed repairs they come right away. I can admit that they are prob the most expensive apartments in this immediate area, but you get what you pay for. They are on the boarder line of being too expensive but I am hoping they stay competitive. I wish there was central air because the summer time can almost be unbearable. Some units have washer/​dryer but mine doesn’t unfortunately. This is not the place for you if you like to entertain a lot of people because it is a quiet community other than a few kids. We are all working folks so it’s your typical quiet place after 9pm. Guest parking is also poor.

As a Resident here living at Brookstone Apts, I love it here! I moved here from LA and the noise from LA was horrible, but brookstone apts are very quiet. all the other residents minds their own buisness. I live in the newly renovated apts and it is better than the other apt communities that i looked at around this area. this place is pet friendly so i always take my dog for a walk on complex. yes the quest parking can be alittle small but there is street parking availible on artesia. I dont know why the other residents are complaining about that. If the management company doesnt raise the rent im staying here for a good while. one of the best places to live in my opinion. and the staff works great with you, most of the work services get done pretty fast too. GREAT APTS!!!

This was my first experience with apartments. They have 1 & 2 bed, 1 & 2 bath apartments. Decent place to live. Visitor parking can be scarce. Assigned parking for the residents. A laundry room (ridiculously expensive; $ 1.25/load/machine), a fitness room (treadmill, elliptical, exercise bike, and some weights), and a swimming pool /​jacuzzi (packed during the summer).
There’s older apartments, which you usually get the deals for obviously, and renovated apartments. In the renovated apartments are crown moulding, newer fixtures, white cabinets, and mirrored closets in the bedroom.
There’s a room A/​C unit in the living room, which means I suggest you sleep in the living room during the summer. It was hell-​hot. In the winter it gets kinda cold, and the heat goes to the bedroom. The bathrooms get hot because there’s a recessed light right above the sink, which made me have a new routine of getting dressed in my room after I got out the shower in the summer. I would sweat just brushing my teeth.
You can tell they did some mass production /​quick fixes. A few cracks here and there. Had a few issues. 2 of our kitchen cabinets fell off (one on my fiancé’s head). One of our screens on our living room window came half way off.
They allow pets, which is nice unless you don’t have one. Dogs bark for hours! Neighbors can be hit or miss.
It was a good first place apartment.
