Sway

Their mannerism to the tenant is the worst ever I had in my life!!!

After spending 4 months researching literally hundreds of apartments in SM, my realtor introduced me to this unique property and immediately i knew it was exactly the cool, hip, relaxing place that I wanted to call home. I moved in October. Having a home in both Chicago and NYC, my standards and expectations were extremely high and I was feeling very discouraged with rentals prior to seeing SWAY. I can factly attest to there being NO other property in Santa Monica that can even compare to Sway, on many fronts. Sophistication meets luxury mere steps from the ocean. Externally: Yes, the location is fantastic; the pier is steps away but off the beaten path for tourists. The amenities unlike anywhere else: salt water swimming pool with flat screens, salt water hot tub with flat screen; fire pit to snuggle or roast marshmellows during cool evenings; fantastic club house with kitchen, fireplace, pool table, more flat screens, constant security, guest parking, revolving art collection bamboo and waterfall garden, intimate gathering and entertaining areas, outdoor chef’s kitchen with grills… very respectful, friendly neighbors, impeccably maintained and landscaped… could go on and on but there are other outstanding reasons for loving life in this über cool luxury environment and it is the people that take the most anesthetically beautiful apartment building in Santa Monica and make it your HOME… and that is it’s incredible MANAGEMENT!
First off, such a LA thing but should be mentioned… the entire team is just so darn attractive! Then, they are nice, and caring, and kind, and are fun… and extremely professional! Moving 2500 miles was seamless. I felt as if they were waiting for me with the lights on and welcoming me as if I were a family member. That’s the big word here: family. In a building with a high percentage of people relocating from a distance, there’s an immediate feeling of belonging and caring. Priceless! Perhaps it’s the above and beyond effort that the management puts forth in so many ways… by hosting regular cocktail hours around the pool, or having Chef’s dinners complete with wine pairings in the Clubhouse or the catered holiday and Super Bowl parties provided for the enjoyment of us and our friends and family… but it seems as if there is also a subliminal deeper meaning that is being conveyed over these efforts and all the other things they do: that we, as residents, are cared about and that they want us to truly enjoy and love calling SWAY our home…
They win, I win, anyone who is fortunate enough to call this «home» wins! Couldn’t be happier!

I moved here from NY in October and this was exactly what I wanted out of LA living: top of the line luxury appliances, a pool, a hot tub, a gym, round the clock security and the true sense of vacation living. Also, I never really have a noise problem at night. The tenants all seem real respectful and are even willing to mingle during the monthly (Free) happy hours that the building hosts at the pool. I would recommend living at Sway to anybody, especially someone looking to live near the beach (5 blocks away).

I moved in to Sway last October and have had nothing but a positive experience. The amenities are all top notch and extremely well maintained. The pool area is beautiful, the club house has everything you could ask for including a pool table, flat screen tv’s, ice, hot and cold plates, a fireplace etc. The jacuzzi is also outstanding, I use it all the time. The apartments are spacious, brand new and extremely well sound proofed. The fitness center is state of the art and a true luxury. There is plenty of guest parking which is amazing in this area right next to the promenade and walking distance to the pier and everything else the area has to offer. Stephanie and the rest of the staff are always friendly and helpful. Can’t recommend Sway enough!

Hands down the nicest place in Santa Monica… I’ve been here since October and I love it – No amenities WHAT? so what are these… swimming pool Jacuzzi marble ping-​pong table, community room with pool table lounge & flat screens everywhere not to mention a state of the art workout facility. Sway host socials once if not twice a month! Look if you can afford it why would you live anywhere else? Staff is AWSOME security is AWSOME. Within any community living there are always going to be residents that are loud or irresponsible but any situation I’ve ever had I make one phone call or email and it’s taking care of DONE! Not to mention the location is prime… Try finding a place as nice as Sway with all the amenities at this location anywhere where else!

The apartment looks really nice, but the customer service is terrible. My boyfriend and I made an appointment, but when we came to the apartment, no one was there. We called the leasing office and were not able to get a hold of anyone to be let in. When we finally got in, there were two other couples waiting for someone at the leasing office. The doors to the leasing office were locked and no one was there. We waited for almost thirty minutes before giving up and leaving.
