eaves Los Feliz

Well I have been forced to write a review due to the unfairness of the system. When i started living here my rent was l900 two years later they increased it and now i end up paying 2400 this is so unfair, I called in to make my payment and on top of that I hadto pay another 40 dollars for something they call convenience fee. I dont think this is any convenient at all may be for them and their pocket. I bet with this kind of money one can find a much better place to leave. Same thing with jacuzis they are closed with plywood and the same rent has to be paid, I think thats what one pays for such amount. Railings are rusting. And a big pond of water in front of mu door when i try to go down to garage area. Honestly they are charging for something they dont have. Lastly they say there is security but you hardly ever see any one around. My car got broken into last week and when you tell them about it the excuse they give you is we are working to improve this. I have never seen any building with so many thefts so often as this one. I hope the company reviews their rates because yes a lot of people move out due to exagerate rent increase that should be accompanied with increasing quality of living.

I have enjoyed living here at Eaves, but info this is a terrible way to have a corporation run this apartment complex. First this is not a rent control area so expect your rent annual to increase as high as 15%!
Omg and they state it’s due to the security well maintained. Except for the mailboxes that have been broken into at least 3 times in the last year.
Next they state they have 3 Jacuzzis and a heated pool. Well as you can see the Jacuzzis are sealed off until further notice and I took the temperature of the pool this morning and it was 62 Fahrenheit. That’s what you call a heated pool!
They have a 24 gym that is wonderful if they don’t continue to remove different training devices. There is half of what used to be in the gym from 3 years ago when I moved in.
Now the staff on premises is kind and help best they can. Maintenence is really on top of things.
The saddest part is I was just informed my rent increase will be over 300.00, well above the standard 6%.
The location of Eaves is right by Griffith Park and the studios. And does have tandem parking.
Washer and dryer were just upgraded, although you had to pay another 5.00 card to load with money for wash. The old cards — no refund and if you still had a balance well good luck in getting your money back. So 300 cards at 5.00 that’s quite a bit of profit a company made.
I’m more saddened by the neighbors and friends that are being forced out due to extreme rent increases. And the worst part is there aren’t any Jacuzzis you can use right now, the pool is shallow and freezing. And personally it’s embarrassing to have company over to look down at plywood covering the amenities Eaves claims to have.
Why are you increasing my rent so very high when there is nothing extra on this property I can use.
**special note, this ongoing theft of our mail and car break ins really have me wondering how secure is this place really.
Since I need water to help with my relaxing I find myself heading towards silver Lake and find a community that is up and running as compared to run down… 2400.00 is an extremely high amount to pay just so they can tell you all should be fixed in next? Years.
Seriously look around and you will see the boarded up areas, ask about car theft and the long process of trying to get mail that was stolen back.
Again as for on location staff is nice to work with. There is one female who one of the neighbors worked with they have been here 10 years asked if they could lower the increase from 300.00 to something around 6 to 8%. This is a single mother and child that has been loyal since day one and the female in the office offered 40.00 decrease without even calling corporate to try and work something out for the best of both parties.
Now again we loose another great tenant to some stranger that I hope will be a good neighbor.
Go online to avalon access, Eaves Los Feliz and you’ll see all the posts regarding non existing or broken items. I hate moving, but hate being ripped off more… Fingers crossed Silver Lake and The Franklin areas have openings and a well kept property that everything is working, I do enjoy a café and listening to my music chilling in the Jacuzzis!
Rent is accumulated by the length of the lease you sign! Oy vey, if I had that kind of money I’d be in a condo!

From top to bottom, Eaves Los Feliz excels to satisfy the residents it houses. From the moment we entered the leasing office we were greeted sincerely and joyfully. They walk you through every single question or concern you may have and truly make you feel welcomed. The complex is delightful and the amenities are excellent. The maintenance crew here is spectacular! They are ready to address any issue that may arise at a moments notice. They always make sure any problems are addressed quickly and professionally. I’ve never seen a maintenance crew work so fast and efficiently as a team to fix and resolve any problem. The grounds keeper are also polite and courteous and effectively do their jobs. I can’t say enough great things about the people who work at eaves Los Feliz. From the personable attention they give you to the reassuring attention to detail, Eaves Los Feliz was the most pleasant experience I’ve had living in Los Angeles.

I have lived here for over a year and I love it! The people in the leasing office are very nice and professional. I recommend this place to anyone looking for an apartment!

Whatever you do — DO NOT live here. Sure, the apartments are nice enough and the staff at the front is pretty helpful, but the rent increase (over $ 200/​month for lease renewal) is an inevitability… along with at least $ 400 of bogus move-​out fees. I say at least because I can’t give you a figure as it’s been OVER 44 days since the end of our lease and we still don’t have our deposit back. We’ve called Avalon Bay several times to ask where it is: the first time — they sent to the wrong address, the second time — they said they’d cut a new check, the third time (10 days later) STILL haven’t cut a new check.
This company and their staff are bullies. They know most people can’t afford an extra $ 200-​$ 300/​month rent increase. It doesn’t matter. That is their business model: they jack up the rates, turn over the rooms to new suckers and make a healthy profit in cleaning fees and phony damage. The next year? Same dance. Sure, they’ll respond to this review with the same company line about housing markets and potential increases being difficult to absorb, but don’t let that fool you. These people know exactly what they’re doing.
We have been lied to by so many people it’s nearly unbelievable. But that’s what they count on. They count on people who can’t afford to hire a small claims lawyer or take weeks off work to deal with small claims court to dispute the bogus fees. Despite it being 44 days since ending our lease, Avalon Bay refuses to give us our full deposit back as specified under California tenant law. But why should they? They’re traded on the NYSE and we’re just 2 people.
If you decide to go against the advice of SO MANY PEOPLE who’ve lived here and been screwed by rent increases and bogus fees — at least do yourself the courtesy of getting everything the move-​out walk-​through person says in writing. Watch them write everything down. We were told we wouldn’t be charged for a few specific things — BOOM, here comes the bill.
We’ve rented apartments for a combined 30 years in several states and never have we been so tossed aside, so boldy lied-​to that we’ve felt compelled to write a review, but I created a Unilocal account for this specific reason because I would hate for this to happen to another unsuspecting future-​tenant. You can EASILY find a much better apartment at a comparable price in this area.
RUN, don’t walk away from this place and their greedy band of shysters.

Posted a review earlier with my experiences of the disgusting cigarette smoke that is abundant at this community (which the management will do nothing about) but in addition to that they want to raise my rent by nearly $ 200 now that the lease is up for renewal! I think that is just awful. Love to know where they get off, in all honesty. I’ve seen the canned template responses their corporate is leaving about factors but they fail to give specifics. Bottom line is they’re raising it because of corporate greed and because they can.
It’s a nice enough place, minus the abundance of smoking around that you WILL smell in your apartment, but due to the ridiculous hike in rent prices when your lease expires, you might as well save yourself the hassle and find somewhere else. Unless you have deep pockets.
UPDATE
=======
I was chatting with one of the leasing agents and he made me feel bad LOL. :) My review, especially in terms of the money, is geared toward AvalonBay as a corporation. I know the agents on site have no real say in this and it’s not their fault.
Trust me, if you can afford the rents here (and the likely high rental increases) then this is a good place to live. Yes, I’ve had a nasty smoking issue throughout my stay. My gripe about that is the management didn’t do much about it. But I realize they can’t make the guy stop since this isn’t a smoke free community (maybe they should think about making it one though). But the grounds, the pool, the gym, and the laundry rooms are all kept in great condition. So they DO take care of this property.
My biggest gripe and my biggest displeasure at this point is an almost $ 200 rent increase from the first year. That’s Avalon Bay’s fault. If you can afford to live here, I’d recommend it.

You will absolutely regret living here. We were slapped with almost $ 400 of bogus charges upon moving out.
The kitchen sink has constant plumbing issues, residents smoke cigarettes on their balconies, with the scent of cigs coming in through the windows. The 5 freeway and Riverside Drive are right outside the apartment and are LOUD.
Their customer care center is clueless, and the leasing staff is unhelpful. Avoid Eaves Los Feliz at all costs.

My rent went up over $ 200 after my first lease was up, so had to move. Avoid these corporate crime lords who treat tenants like disposable income streams rather than humans.

I could not have asked for a better introduction to Los Angeles. eaves Los Feliz is a top-​notch apartment community with a dedicated staff that is constantly working to make it a great place to live.
I lived on the first floor near the pool, and though you can expect some ambient noise from people enjoying themselves in the patio area, it was never out of control during my time there. In addition, there are BBQ, Jacuzzi, and outdoor seating areas to enjoy.
From my first on-​site tour to the moment I turned in my keys, Frankie in the leasing office went above and beyond the call of duty to address any questions or issues I had.
The reason I had to say goodbye is price. It’s an expensive area, but you do get what you pay for. Since I worked from home while living there, I was able to see firsthand how much care the housekeeping and maintenance staff put into things each day.
You can see where your money is going. In the time I spent at eaves Los Feliz, they repainted the building exterior, painted all the apartment unit doors, repainted the hallways, and were starting on a project to replace all the light fixtures in the community. The team is always making improvements, and there is plenty to love in this convenient location.

Management is great, so attentive and responsive. One downfall is rent skyrockets with every new lease.

Quiet location, great staff, maintenance always responds timely and friendly.
I’ve live in Los Angeles going on four years now and this is by far the best spot. Walking distance to shops, bars, coffee shops and Griffith Park. Across the street from the newly restored Los Angeles river, golf courses a mile away, tennis courts, soccer fields and kids park all in a three minute walking distance.
Couldn’t be more happy!

Recently, I had my balcony door malfunction and I called the leading office to notify them. Frankie the leasing agent who was working at the time, let the maintenance team know. Within 20 minutes, I had a maintenance service tech knocking at my door. The maintenance tech fixed the door in 5 minutes and I was very satisfied. I received an excellent and prompt outcome and I’m very happy thanks to the effective and courteous team at the eaves at Avalon.

My biggest gripe is the lack of rent control. I lived here for 12 months where my rent was $ 1550 per month. It is now $ 1804 per month. Unfortunately, this is not a long term place to live based on the volatile nature of rent increases, which is why I moved out
Some cons:
— Walls are pretty thin. You can hear mumbling from next door neighbors. Being on the first floor, I could here every footstep from my inconsiderate /​rude neighbors above.
— My kitchen sink backed up and flooded my kitchen 2x during my 12 month stay.
— If you have T-​Mobile, be prepared to get a cell booster as you will get zero reception inside
Now onto the positives —
— Very convenient to the freeways
— Complex is well maintained
— Parking garage is nice
— Management is nice

Want a place where college kids know how to raise the roof and where the party never stops? Then DON’T move here, because this is a nice, quiet community comprised of mostly young professionals and small families. The staff here is ON POINT, always greeting you with a warm smile. Special shout-​outs to Ruth, Jason and Andrew! Whenever I needed help with anything, they’d accommodate me; if I needed something printed out because I ran out of printer ink, they’d do it for me and save me $$ and a trip to Kinko’s. The primary maintenance man is the coolest guy on Earth — you submit your request, he arrives soon after, fixes it swiftly and quietly, and leaves. The gym has controllable AC and is 24 hours, and the pool area is an excellent spot for sunbathing and even features community grills. The hot tubs are working almost all the time — even if one is having a minor problem (like the bubbles not working), there are TWO MORE, so don’t fear! I’ve seen so many reviews for other complexes where people complain about noise in their apartments and need to call the cops. Here, I never even thought about calling the cops once. Once in a blue moon, you may hear a barking dog, but there are worse things you could hear: frequent sirens and alarms, loud parties, yelling, etc. You also can’t beat this location for convenience. Though most bars in walking distance skew towards the hipster demographic (not that there’s anything wrong with that…) there are a bevy of fine venues only a short cab ride away. Eaves is especially close to Burbank and Glendale, so those who are fans of shopping (Glendale Galleria, the Americana, etc.) and entertainment will enjoy a brisk commute. Almost forgot to mention my apartment itself– no flaws! Everything works, the central air is especially fantastic, and the rooms are spacious. One by one, my friends would mention how much they’d envy me for getting more than my money’s worth.
In closing, if you want a safe and quiet place to live — that also has access to plenty of fun spots — look no further than here.

My wife and I have lived here for 2 yrs and after being in Los Angeles for 11 yrs I can say hands down this is the best apartment complex in LA. They have a 24hr gym, 3 hot tubs and a pool that is just awesome! The management staff is always helpful and polite. The maintenance staff is quick and professional. Very Dog friendly and 3 parks very close by and the community is nice and quiet. I highly recommend this complex to anyone looking for a great place to live in Los Angeles.

I only lived here for a couple of months but I loved it. It’s dog friendly and has great amenities. The staff is awesome. Every time I had any requests they were fixed right away or as soon as possible. The gym is really nice, they have upgraded treadmills, and you get to run while looking at the pool. There are three spa’s so if one is busy you can walk to the next courtyard and use that one. The grounds are kept clean and tidy. The location is perfect. I mean Griffith Park right across the street, you can’t beat that. You are in walking distance of Atwater Village, Trader Joes, Hyperion Public, and so much more. It’s in the city but it doesn’t feel like it. It’s pretty quiet and you don’t have to sit in traffic to pull into your apartment. The apartments themselves are nice as well. I wish they had a little more storage space but other than that it was a great apartment. I’m sad I had to leave.

I moved to Eaves Los Feliz 3 years ago.
A great apartment complex.
Laundry on site which is very convenient.
3 hot tubs, and 1 swimming pool, closes at 10, but the gym is 24hrs.
Sometimes you get dog piss in the stairs and the elevator.
The management staff are very helpful and professional, they work with you and help you as much as they can.
The maintenance staff are great too, they attend to your repairs right away.

I have a friend that was residing here on a Traveling Nurse assignment, I came up to LA to visit and the drive back to San Diego was going to be too extensive so I stayed the night. Parking here is hectic! After 10pm you can’t park your vehicle on the opposite side of the street (across the street) ’cause it says no parking or will be towed. Lucky me, I found parking right infront of the complex. The door to the main entrance is always locked I guess thats for security reasons. Theres also a table right before the elevator for complimentary coffee and even doggy treats, i like how their dog-​friendly here.
Over-​all, I can’t see myself living here but it seems like a nice apartment complex, everyone here seems friendly, the location is amazing its right off the freeways, and it is huge!

This place is decent. I had a fine relationship with the leasing staff and had no problems getting my security deposit back when I decided to move. The repairmen are friendly and efficient. I had a few different problems with my dishwasher and sink but they fixed it within 24 hours of reporting a problem.
The location has its pros and cons. It is wonderfully convenient to the 5 freeway but… it is convenient to the 5 freeway. I had a unit that overlooked the freeway and now that I am in a place overlooking a park… I realized what a big difference a little quiet and greenery can do for you. The apartment is also near a Trader Joes and a great organic mexican food place (Mixto). It is also a not so short walk (but good exercise!) away from Vermont and Hillhurst which is fun.
I liked the unit itself. It was clean and well laid out. My neighbors were quiet and pleasant.
I miss this apartment but I do understand some other concerns I have heard. It did seem a bit unsafe at times but I was regularly visiting my friends who lived downtown so returning to my place always felt safer. My suggestion is just determine what is a deal breaker for you. This place isn’t a bad bet.

You couldn’t ask for a better staff. Nicole and Valerie (who’s transferred to another Archstone) went above and beyond and were absolutely wonderful to deal with. When I first got my puppy, I would come home around lunch to walk him, but one day I wasn’t able to. Valerie gladly said that she would walk him for me! Truly exceptional. They were a ton of fun to talk to as well.
The apartment is a bit older, the ammenities aren’t top notch, but it is a good value for the price you pay.
The neighborhood is great, especially if you’re a dog owner. Its a dog friendly building with lots of parks close by, and people in los feliz love their dogs!
