K2 Apartments

Leasing office is awesome and really helpful. ²⁴⁄₇ hour security team is great and they’re very nice. The apartment has monthly events and weekly yoga sessions on the roof. Rooms are new and modern. Some pluses include built-​in bluetooth speakers and USB outlets. Free Starbucks coffee downstairs. Small gym, but it has all the amenities a gym should have and their treadmills have really big tv screens. Sweet rooftop with cabanas, grills, etc. They’re building out another section to the apartment to make it more of a complex, which will come with a pool.
The only cons I can think of: room layouts can be awkward and the walls are thin. I can hear next door neighbors fighting and people running around upstairs. But it’s tolerable and most of the time I can ignore it.

The leasing office staffs have so different attitude when I was moving in and out. I noticed them to moving out, their attitude was so unkind.
The Berendo street is always crowd because of the filming and construction.

Jen Gibo, the Leasing Manager of this apartment knows how to treat a client right! She is busy but super helpful in dealing with me and my friend that just become a new resident :)
Her assistant and security person are courteous & helpful as well. It is a little pricey but you get what you pay for living in LA.
Modern, 24 hour security service and nice roof top area are some of the great amenities. Wish they have a pool… though. It’s within walking distance to Metro and public transportation. If I ever moved closer to LA, this is where I want to move.

Moved in 2 months ago and the office staffs were very pleasant to work with. Denise, Jennifer and Heather were all great and very helpful with the process. This place is centrally located in Ktown so everything is walking distance to my favorite bars and restaurants.

Everything is nice except they don’t have a pool here. Parking around the apartment sucks for guests. The fire place on the roof top is nice wish they opened that area little longer

K2 apartments is good. I want to give 4star.
Only one problem is bad soundproofing.
I know upstair neighbors every move.
I don’t know whether this is a problem in the neighbor or building issues.
And office staff make 0 star.
Office staff are mistaken that they themselves professional.
I met only two times. I said, I want to renewal but I have Stomping problem with upstair neighbor’s.
They said to me.
«That is not stomping.» And
Another Office staff asked to me.
you stay at home all day? That is why…
I lost say…

I can’t wait to come home from work every day and watch the sunset from my balcony in my Jr. 1 bedroom apartment at K2. For the first time since I left home, I feel like I’m living somewhere I can comfortably and proudly call home.
Berendo Street near Wilshire and 7^th is a prime location — I take the subway to my job in downtown every day. World-​famous Korean restaurants, shopping and services, and iconic LA destinations are all within walking distance.
I’ve lived here for a month and still can’t stop raving about the amenities — there are even more on the way as additional K2 buildings are under construction with new lounges, a pool, and more.
Everyone on staff was extremely helpful while I was signing my lease and moving in. Heather, John, Javier, and Johnny (security) were friendly and helped us solve any problems along the way. However, I owe a special shout out to Jen Gibo who is both the best leasing manager I’ve ever met and an impactful ambassador to the residents. She takes responsibility for your happiness and comfort while sharing her passion for LA lifestyle in an effort to make you feel at home.
If you’re apartment hunting, please give K2 a call. You won’t regret it.

K2LA was definitely one experience I will not forget. All in a good way though of course. My experience here would probably be noted higher than most of the other reviews here, but only because I experienced everything this community had to offer.
There are many great events at K2, the whole staff does what they can to ensure the residents are well taken care of, and Jen the little leasing manager, is always complete sunshine and rainbows. The events they have time to time are always fun, great time for management and residents to mingle with each other. Free food and free drinks. Can’t complain there. Good food too btw.
Security has always been friendly, but I have seen them become stern when rules are being broken, but that’s only because they have to be. Edwin their supervisor is a highly respectable man, always calm and you can tell he takes his position seriously. I remember seeing him trying to speak in other languages, and always found that amusing. Go Edwin!
Maintenance has always been on par, the supervisor Javier is just awesome. You can automatically sense he has many experience in his field and was always very friendly. Whenever something went wrong, he was there within a few moments and fixed the problem always explaining what happened, why it happened, and tips on how to prevent it.
All in all, my lease with K2 has finished, and the reason why I didn’t renew was because I knew it was time to move on. I will miss it dearly, and yes I do recommend others about this great community.

I couldn’t have asked for a better place to call home! Living at K2 was absolutely worry free and pleasant. I was constantly busy as a law student, needed a comfortable and accommodating place, open study areas, wifi access, but also wanted to have good options to relax during my weekends and breaks. K2 was all this and more. Other than being a great place to live, study, and play, management, staff, security, maintenance, really everyone on board at K2 is so friendly and always eager to help. Jen is THE BEST, super sweet, relatable and (this is rare) GENUINE. But really, you can’t go wrong with anyone in the office — Denise, John, all the security personnel and maintenance staff were always smiling and always attentive to concerns or any needs/​questions.
I have a little puppy, Garçon, and k2 was the perfect home for him too! We would finish our walks and he would return home to treats from security! Additionally, there is a clean up station right out front for your pet, leaving you no excuse to not clean up after your furry friend!
And last but certainly not least, the rooftop, gym, bamboo garden … all the amenities were fantastic! I used the rooftop and club room A LOT. I threw awesome events up there without any hassle. A simple reservation fee and security deposit, and I was good to go every time. My family and friends absolutely loved coming over and having get togethers at K2.
I’ve recently moved out for bar preparations and financial reasons, but once I pass the bar and land a job, I’m definitely coming back to K2.
Thanks to everyone at K2 who helped make me feel right at home. I’ll miss you guys, but Garçon and I will definitely stay in touch!

I just moved out of K2LA a few weeks ago after my lease expired, but I am considering moving back to the complex after the other two buildings are completed. Here are the pros and cons of K2LA (in my opinion):
— The leasing office staff: two thumbs way up for everybody working there (Denise, Jen and John) and the management company for hiring them. I had to go through some issues (typical but annoying little issues that can come up when you are living in an apartment building), but all that did not stop me from wanting to move back to the building thanks to the very communicative leasing office staff (especially «Jen Gibo» — she is your dream apt manager who will make your life easy with her incomparable work ethic and professionalism, and in the end you might fear your apt life without Jen as your manager. She is absolutely the best in her field.)
— The maintenance staff: everybody works very efficiently and hard there. Never had any issues with odor, garbage, bugs, or even dog poop (considering how many dogs are living there). I cannot properly describe how much we miss Javier. He takes your problems as his and will do anything and everything to fix them right away. I had never had to wait for more than a few hours after reporting any problems until he showed up at my door with a big smile. I am pretty sure that I will never be able to find a maintenance manager like Javier. He is also absolutely the best in his field.
— The security staff: they are super polite and get the job done. The superstar in the security team is the chief, Edwin. If you have problems with noise, parking, etc., you just let him know. He will make sure things get done. The building does have noise issues, probably not because of the building itself, but because of some immature residents who blast music at odd times. If you report the problems right away, they will fix it for you.
— Other pros that come with a new building, such as clean and new things, don’t need to be mentioned, I think. Given the location and skyrocketing rents in LA, You get what you paid for. The appliances are not going to be the highest end stuff but still great for the price. The key-​less entry (and the fact that no one can try to open the door once you lock it from inside) made me feel safer than the ones with using traditional keys. The sunset we had from the rooftop deck was amazing. Overall, it was a very comfortable and safe place to live and would certainly go back there if we can.

I mean bottom line K2 is just IT when it comes to downtown luxury living. I can’t say enough about it. Staff is always on point. They just are down to help 24 – 7. They always have a 100% positive vibe and you just know their number one priority is the residents. Never have I felt awkward in asking for their help. Many examples in could give in the months I’ve been there of the K2 staff going way above and beyond the call. A-​plus.
The office staff (we’ve dealt primarily with Jen Gibo) have always been very friendly and helpful. The security & maintenance team is first-​rate and makes the day-​to-​day interactions a pleasure & is quick to respond and correct any issue.
The staff hosts frequent cool events that help you get to know them and your neighbours — the sense of community is fantastic!
Building is just plus, the quality is very immaculate. I never EVER have sound issues… reeks of specs. It’s crazy how EASY life seems living there. That’s the special part of it. and it is SUCH a treat to feel like at least on the home front everything is on lock down. So comforting.
Location and sense of being plugged into the downtown scene is major bonus. They organize a ton of very cool inside resident community activities with interaction with all that is according to the holidays etc.
Thank you K2 & Jen Gibo!!!

Although my move-​in date is not scheduled for another month, I do want to write a review regarding K2’s customer service and facilities.
I am an out of state graduate student who is planning to move back to LA very soon. I have been searching for a good, safe, and clean apartment in LA. Many apartments I contacted during my search spoke to me with utter rudeness, had false advertising online, or immediately began adding costs to their rental prices. On top of all of this, I am a neat freak/​borderline OCD and reading reviews about cockroaches in many LA apt buildings scared the crap out of me. K2, on the other hand, was a completely different experience.
Jen, at the leasing office, helped me every step of the way to secure an apartment. She allowed my father to come in my place and tour the apartment. At the same time, she worked closely with me (via email and phone) to outline costs, amenities, and answer any questions I had throughout the process. My application and approval process took less than 24 hrs!!! I cannot stress how nice and professional the office staff is at K2.
My father, on his tour, mentioned that the complex is safe, secure, and clean. He emphasized the ease of access, the amenities (gym, YOGA, coffee downstairs…), and how well put together the building is. He was very impressed with the whole package.
I understand that K2 is pricey but as you can see from my above comments, you pay for what you get. I am very excited to move in and cannot wait to begin my time as a LA resident, again. Many thanks to Jen and her staff for making my hectic student life a little easier.

I was debating moving to Ktown and deal with the 1+ hour commute… but no. I claim temporary insanity on that lol. If I didn’t work 35 miles away I would really love to move in but I decided to move to lb/​cypress instead. The leasing staff I think his name was John was very nice and knowledgeable. Showed me two one bedrooms and a studio, all really cute! KThey offer you soda and water during your tour. Pet friendly and clean in Ktown. I did hear some dogs barking from the hall but honestly if you wanted soundproof go rent a house. Sorry but apartments aren’t libraries hate to break it to you but those aren’t thin walls I’ve lived in complexes with thin walls. They have Bluetooth speakers in the wall and hardwood floors a beautiful shade of taupe I can’t seem to find in lb really modern looking. I wasreally impressed if I ever move back to LA I know where to go. It is a bit pricey but honestly you get what you pay for. I can’t even find an equivalent and I’ve been looking. The security is ²⁴⁄₇ and I feel pretty confident the parking won’t have break ins like other so called secured parking lots in Ktown because the residents all seemed really nice too as they walked by and greeted the leasing consultant. They have an entertainment room and a lounge on the rooftop. Coffee in the leasing area. The balconies were clean too. Dry cleaning pick up service and a bike storage area. Seriously? Why can’t you build a property closer to my work so I can stop looking?! I’m coming back for you k2 … Someday lol. Studios were about $ 2000+ so that gives you an idea of the price range but quality wise… I loves it. And if you are a single female living by yourself the 24 hr security and real controlled access should matter to you. Shop less and eat out less and splurge on a nice, safe apt!

I recently accepted a new job in Los Angeles. Finding an apartment in Koreatown that welcomes dogs was great! That said, this building is brand new and has so much to offer. There is a ²⁴⁄₇ Doorman/​Security Agent. That is terrific because someone is always there to keep track of who is coming and going, not to mention packages are accepted on your behalf. There are other valet services. The windows are commercial grade, thus no outside noise pollution. There are so may positives about living here, not to mention a short two block walk to the Los Angeles Subway.
The best aspect overall is the customer service. I found Jen Gibo the Leasing Manager to be spectacular during all interactions. Reasonable and easy to deal with. Denise, the Property Manager is savvy and understanding. All in all, this place is a winner. Two more buildings that will compliment this structure are currently under construction.
We have suggested to our friends that are considering relocating, to look at this property. It’s a jewel.

I’ve lived here for a good 3 weeks already and I absolutely love it! Everyone in the office is so friendly and helpful! The apartments and for the most part pretty quiet, if I hear any sound through the walls, it lasts for less than 5 minutes and doesn’t happen often. The elevators work great, and are usually not a very long wait. Unlike all the other apartments I’ve looked at, there isn’t any horrible smells or bug problems! Also, when I went down to the lobby for my mail, one of the maintenance guys was asking me about water pressure and went up to my apartment and fixed it in less than 3 minutes! Oh, and don’t worry about security, the security guards are really good (and helpful) at their job. And you can only access the floors with a key fob or card. Personally I thought it was going to be a pain, but it actually isn’t at all. The facilities and roofs are kept very clean might I add. Also, the gym is very hygienic and is open ²⁴⁄₇. If you need a fast computer, the ones in the lobby are great.
K2LA is by far a 5 star apartment in my books!

Our daughter will be starting college this Monday. We were looking for a safe and secure building, with air conditioning and secured parking. We found that and MORE at k2. Our daughter has been living their for approximately 2 weeks. Jen endured the relentless phone calls and emails from me! Jen has the patience of a saint. She is so easy to work with. We personally have had nothing but a positive experience. My daughters apartment backs up to an elevator, and we don’t hear anything… The air conditioning works wonderfully! Coming from Arizona this is a major plus. We plan on visiting often, as she is our youngest. The parking spots are wide enough so as not to get door dings and the security personal are wonderful. I personally have not seen any smoking, or encountered loud noise… This apartment is close to her school AND close to downtown where they have amazing shopping and restaurants. Until we found K2 I was really nervous about where our daughter would be staying… The units are very nice. I was also happy about the fact it is a new building so I am sure their earthquake standards are much better than an older refurbished building…

Pros: new, clean, convenient location
Cons: very noisy. thin walls, terrible insulation between floors. loud dog barking (and urinating on the door-​front floor-​mat witnessed once) and frequent music blasting past midnight and nothing done about it for months! Many smokers reside and smoke comes through the windows when left open. I’ve recently spotted a couple of cigarette butts in my balcony. What the…
Is this property really being managed? Those young and immature residents are so inconsiderate of others and getting out of control.

The staff at K2LA is stellar. Jen in the leasing office has gone above and beyond on more than one occasion. The building is great, the units are terrific and the rooftop decks are spectacular. One of the best apartments I’ve ever had — maybe THE best.

K2LA is an amazing place to live. Ayoung & Jen in the leasing office are wonderful and the whole staff is always so nice and helpful. The units are gorgeous, very well laid out w/​designer fixtures and stainless steel appliances. The building is nice and quiet and the rooftop is the perfect place to have friends over to barbecue and hang out. Great building and people! I truly can’t say enough!!!
