Kings Road

I must say, Lucy in the leasing office is absolutely wonderful! We toured the property today and and she made us feel so welcomed and happy! Unfortunately, the apartment is not going to work for us but we found another Essex property that is perfect! Regardless, Lucy was amazing!

Just moved into this place and its been such a pleasure. From coming to see the place quickly to signing the lease and moving in — nothing has been a hassle. Any little thing that needs fixing in the place, the staff has helped immediately. Naty is a wonder of a handyman and so sweet. And always smiling and helpful Lucy has made it all the better. She is a superstar!
The place itself is wonderful. The unit was exactly what we wanted. The amenities are fabulous — from the resort style huge pool to the gym… couldn’t be happier.
I used to pass this building and like the look and location and wanted to move in. And now here I am!

I can’t amend my previous review but I would like to update it. Lucy and Gary have been very responsive to my plumbing issues and taken steps to rectify, fix and reimburse me for the plumbing costs.
Gary extended a gift card in addition to the reimbursement.
I’ve also misjudged Lucy in my haste and would like to set the record straight – as a dog owner and animal rights empath, she was concerned the maintenance men might frighten my puppy by taking apart the toilet and «intruding» on his territory.
Lucy went the extra mile and recommended a dog walker for my puppy who is a bright and bustling presence! He lives across the street, to boot!
I recommend the staff and management at Kings Road as reputable, attentive and capable of high service.

I just moved from NYC to LA and was looking for a great apartment with walkability to lots of shops, restaurants and entertainment. Luckily, I found myself at Kings Road Apartment, in front of Lucy Carter, who delivered all the above and more! Lucy was extremely helpful and accommodating. She helped us every step of the application process and we were able to move in the next day!
The amenities are great and the neighborhood unparalleled. I am very happy to call Kings Road Apartments home!

I have live in LA for 10 years now and have lived in several apartment communities. Kings is by far the best kept. the apartments are beautifully remodeled, amenities are excellent, and the location is awesome. When I applied Lucy Carter and the team were very helpful and understanding of my needs. They made the move that much more easy for me and I am thankful that I came across Kings.

This review is for the leasing office.
I think his name was James? I’ve been calling and leaving voicemails on the office number for the last 3 days, with no call back. Finally, I decided to go ahead and call the emergency number so I can at least reach a human. James was incredibly rude, he cut me off mid-​sentence to tell me to call the office number, because this is only for emergencies and he’s not in the office. I started explaining that I’ve been calling the office number with no response– and he hung up on me! MID-​SENTENCE!
The only reason I didn’t blow up then and there was because I thought I might still want to check out the building, but after he called me back he was so incredibly unhelpful and had such an awful attitude, that it just turned me off completely.
I wonder how many other potential residents this guy has scared away. And by the way to whoever is paying this guy — he’s never in his office and doesn’t answer the phone. You should look into what you’re paying for.

I lived here for about a year, and it’s the best complex I’ve ever experienced. Lucy (management) became our friend. She is the most helpful person in the world. The complex is perfect, clean, quiet, safe. Whenever you have a problem it’ll get fixed within five minutes. I’m hoping to move back after am done with school, which was the reason I had to move out. Miss you guys. Thanks for a wonderful time full of nice memories. Lucy you are the best!!!

This place is my jam. Been here for about 2 years now and have lived all over LA the past 10 years.
Property is well kept, the apartments are beautifully remodeled, amenities are great, and the location is amazing.
I saw some comments about the street noise and while I agree that if you live along the street you will hear a decent amount of noise, you live along the street in Hollywood… I’m not sure I’d expect otherwise.
Management is incredibly helpful and the community is very much «young professional» which I love.
Not the cheapest place to live but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and Kings Road is definitely a great value for your buck.
That’s all. I’m going to go barbecue on the roof now…

I am a current resident at Kings Rd apartments, and despite never taking time to write reviews I feel as though the excellent staff deserves it. Lucy, in the leasing office, is so helpful and kind. Any issues that may come up, or questions that I may have are answered and dealt with in a timely manner. You can really tell that she cares about her residents, and is willing to go above and beyond for them. I really appreciate all of her help and wanted to recognize her for this. The other staff members are very hard working and helpful, and the property and pool areas are clean, and the location is great!

My job originally placed me at Kings Rd apt 8 years ago during a temporary assignment. When I returned this year I requested my job place me here again. As I decided to make this a permanent relocation I without question decided to sign my own lease. Lucy in the office made this decision simple. She truly cares about the residents here. The complex is neat and clean and the units are newly renovated. You can’t find a better location. Highly recommend to others!,

Ok, for me to give a five star review to this building is a big deal. I’ve been living here for four years, and its had its ups and downs. First, the minuses. It can get a little loud. It’s a young building. If you know what you’re getting into, it’s fine. Also, I was about to move out because the person running this place was a complete a-​hole. He’s no longer here. Now the pluses. The apartments are great! Great size, great friendly maintenance staff (Nattie is the best). But the biggest plus of all is Lucy, Lucy, Lucy. Since the last guy left, she has completely changed the vibe of this place. She’s always smiling, willing to help, and genuinely concerned with how the building is running. I swear the only reason I haven’t moved out is because she’s turned this place around. Anyway, great building, highly recommend it.

I’ve lived in this apartment complex for over 14 years with my husband. I love the pool, warm year round, love the jaccuzzi and gym and the barbecue on the roof with tables and lounge chairs but no light, so you can’t sit there on a nice night in complete darkness, or barbecue in the evening. Lucy is a huge asset, and exceptional person, please don’t ever leave Lucy. She’s the best. Lucy gets 5 starts. Nattie is great, always helping when help is needed. He’s been here forever and I hope he’ll stay forever. Mattie gets 5 starts also. I’m giving 3 starts because of a few reason, no light on the roof, too many keys, laundry, pool, in out, garage, omg, sometimes I feel like I’m in prison. The laundry room is locked now also so when you come with your hands full it’s just very annoying. To go in and out of the pool you need a key, it’s really just too much. I know there’s been a lot of theft so get a couple security officers here to watch the building just make sure they’re awake and alert. Also it’s seriously expensive, the rent prices have gone through the roof, I don’t know how people can effort these prices. I’m still on old prices even though they rise it every chance they get. I live in front apartment by the street, this is not a quiet street, very noisy. Tree cutting people, tree trimming people, street cleaning, grass blowers, ambulance sirens, police sirens, you name it. Never a moment of peace. People stand by the window on the street and talk on their cell phone at 11 o’clock at night when you are trying to sleep and they might as well be in your bedroom, is sounds that way anyways. The dog walker and his dog walking bodies are always standing under the windows day and night with endless conversations when you are trying to sleep, rest or talk on the phone. dogs are barking at any time during the day and night, just no peace, for that price I really want more peace and quiet.

My fiancé and I have lived at Kings Road for nearly two years. After searching for larger apartments for months, we realized that it’s rare to find the community that we have here. So we made our decision to move to a larger unit in the same building. Lucy has been instrumental in getting us into the new space. She has gone above and beyond any other leasing agent we’ve had in any complex or state. She knows every tenant by name and treats everyone like family. Without her consistency and willingness to help make us feel at home, the choice to stay at kings road wouldn’t have been as easy!

I have lived here for almost two years and now upgrading to larger apartment. The staff has been great in helping my fiancé and I find the perfect unit for needs. Lucy has been a huge asset and we’re excited to spend even more time at Kings Road. She was very patient with us and was always inviting while giving more information. We enjoy the beautiful building that’s located near so many of the best areas of West Hollywood.

I had a apartment viewing today scheduled with Lucy Carter. I was really impressed by the building, the apartments with the amazing upgrades, and also the professional way of Lucy guiding me thru everything. I’ve been viewing many many apartments in LA since I’m moving from FL, and Kings Road Apartments was by far the best place in the price range I was looking for!

I ‘ve lived on Kings rd for last 16 years and must say it a great place to live!
Just wanted to say a few special words about Lucy Carter in management office. I’ve seen many people in that office, but she is exceptional.
True people person, helpful, fast, caring, trustworthy.
Just to say Thank you and Happy New Year!!!

I’ve lived at Kings Road Apartments for half a year and I absolutely love it here. The building is amazing, you literally can’t beat the location and I love my apartment.
There’s been some tricky issues I’ve had to deal with and management has been above and beyond amazing. I rarely take time to write reviews, but I felt it was thoroughly worth it to take the time and explain the way in which Lucy and Garry in the leasing office have helped me and been so caring and sweet. Its been a bit tricky bc I lived with a couple and when they moved out we had to transfer the lease and it could have been a total hassle, but they’ve walked me through everything and have been so kind.
The building is located next to so many great restaurants (Ink, Taste, Ago, etc.) and it’s such a safe and great neighborhood.
I see myself living here for awhile!

I’ve lived at kings road for quite a while and I really love the place, great pool, great gym, beautiful facility and interior landscaping, awesome sun deck with a bunch of new bbq’s that are on a gas line and are top end, great staff and amazing Maitnence crew and sweetest hardest working cleaning lady and Lucy at the front reception is the kindest and nicest person who really does care about every resident and it really shows.
However, things I would change; 1) better security staff, people have gotten bikes stolen, including myself, and lots of cars in the garage get broken into to lately and security has even been seen sleeping on the job. 2) Also, the residence has the tackiest banner on the Melrose side of the building, many people identify our residence by this corny ad showing a shirtless dude crawling out of a pool, and it has some cheesy tag line. It is such a wonderful place, why not let that be enough with out using an old weathered photo advertisement draw negative attention to the place. 3) They have an amazing grilling area up on the sun deck BUT no lights. It is a huge liability to allow bbq use until 10 pm BUT have no lights to assist the people who want to utilize it. people have already gotten burned and many more will as well. how about the lights are just timed to be shut off at 10!!! plus strung globe lights would be a beautiful addition. OR at least lights overlooking the grills. 4) last, the elevators are beyond slow.
I am writing this to encourage other residents to contribute their thoughts to the Unilocal page instead of just getting upset and having no outlet of expression.

Horrible. This review is for the leasing office… not a pleasant experience complete waste of time… I called 1 hr earlier and she had switched the price of a one bedroom by the time I had come over to see the apt… She also refused to show me the two apartments I was interested in… Said they were «cleaning»… Show me what I’m buying don’t show me a better model than expect me to believe I’m getting something I’m not. So unprofessional… I see why the reviews are negative.

This one star is for the leasing office. I checked the price for a studio online, it says $ 1040, then I called the first time, a lady picked up the phone and said that the cheapest one would be around $ 1200. Then I called next day, a guy picked up and told me that the cheapest one is about $ 1100, and there’ll be 3 of them becoming available soon. So I made an appointment to check it out.
When I got there, there was a lady, she doesn’t seem caring enough to introduce me to this terrific apartment. She took me to one studio and told me that this is the cheapest and it is the only available studio which cost $ 1400, I was like what? She said online price wasn’t updated, but that was the only one. She knew I wasn’t going to pay for that price, then she didn’t even care to tell me any upcoming deals or making arrangements, or checking upcoming availabilities. All she said to me was, I am sorry it doesn’t work for you.
I was gonna tell her that she’s a bitch. She shouldn’t work for the leasing office if she doesn’t even want to deal with clients and try to make the lease. Oh, just remember that I got her name, her name is Starr Settecase. If you ever want to check out this place, make sure you don’t talk to her because she looks at you first, and before you know it, she already make the discrimination of whether or not you can afford the apartment.
Honestly, I look young and I am short, but I have a job that can definitely afford $ 1400 a month for that small studio. Her attitude for looking down on me and think that I can’t afford it pissed me off. Be aware if you want to check out this place, make sure you look mature enough and rich so she would be nice to you, show you around and talk to you detail about the apartment.
