Avana Sunset Apartments

I love that they have friendly and knowledgeable staff and AC! It’s so hard to find a nice luxury apartment in LA. I canceled my gym membership too because they have all the equipment I need to stay fit. The Property Manager Ashley always takes care of all my request expeditiously and is very personable while maintaining her professionalism. I recommend this property to anyone looking a place to call home.

The Avana Sunset is a nice building that has had a few things pop up (or go down) that really just have to do with the building being almost 40 years old. I know I had a couple of more issues at 40! However, it has been very tastefully updated with a hip cool vibe!
The staff is awesome! They are always pleasant, helpful and make themselves available!
My last apartment’s manager refused to let a heroic passer by in the door to help a tenant screaming help while her wrist was being crushed in a faulty elevator! The Avana staff is extremely concerned about their tenants and may have to wait too long to get one of these three elevators fixed, but it isn’t for lack of trying. Is it perfect, no, but it is by far a better value than the new ones being thrown up around the area! It is in the best location for LA and pet friendly!
So, inconveniences and minor maintenance things once in a while, yes. BUT, every single one of my requests has been met immediately! And the rooftop, well that is worth the price of admission!

Update: this place is infested with mold, don’t let the renovations fool you. Lived here for 6 months and got seriously ill.
Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere in order to stay healthy.

I lived here last year but recently I’ve been thinking about the places I’ve lived here in LA and I felt the need to give credit where credit is due. This place deserves 5 stars because of the wonderful manager and leasing specialist Kelli and Amber. They were always helpful and responsive and made my living experience here wonderful. The apartments are very nice and the roof top is beautiful. I spent most of my time up there or at the gym. which has a good amount of machines and equipment.

I have been a resident of Avana for well over a year now and have recently decided to move to a larger unit. During this time its been crazy with a lot of projects and me asking 20 questions everyday to Laura or Alfonzo. They have been absolutely the most professional accommodating people I’ve worked with. I deal with guest relations and work in a service industry and can tell when someone is sincere. They are without a doubt great people. That said this is why Avana is a great spot to live. It’s near everything and the office actually cares about how you enjoy your lifestyle. I’ve read some of the post and truly wish more would write when staff go above and beyond to accommodate.

Living in Hollywood (off of Sunset) is always going to be a gamble. That said, the staff and maintenance crew of this place are great. They’re responsive, and attentive.
I can’t really say the same about some of the tenants. In the past year I’ve lived here, I’ve had to make multiple 911 calls for noise issues, and unfortunately the management wasn’t able to be much help in that case. The apartments are nice, well maintained, and reasonably priced, but for some reason the tenants this place attracts definitely lean more towards the rowdy side.
If you’re a party all night kind of person and noise and police helicopters don’t phase you, you’ll be fine. If not — maybe rethink your move.

Living at Avana was really annoying for the year. They promised us washer and dryers upon the move in that NEVER happened. They switched managers three times while i was there. The elevators are slow and sketchy. The washer and dryers ruined my clothes. Just an unpleasant building to live in. Very over priced.

Do not live here. I’ve been here 2 years and although there are some nice things about the building (gym, central air, etc.), the noise is absolutely unbearable. People are blasting music at 3 am on weekdays, 8 am on weekends and every time in between. There are also lots of barking dogs who sometimes pee in the elevators, and recently we’ve started to hear a wailing woman (cat?) at 5 am.
