Studios here are suitable for a single or couple. They have a high-value cost-performance ratio. The manager here is very nice. Location is wonderful because it is only 10 minutes walk to UCLA. It also includes free parking. The only thing might disturb you is that this building is 60-years old and the elevator is very old too. In brief, if you are looking for an apartment close to UCLA, Strathmore Tower is one of your choices.
I lived in this building for almost four years: from 2015 to 2019. This place is awesome. The location is really great, especially if you live/work on campus . The rent is more than reasonable. All common-use areas (pool etc.) are kept clean and in perfect condition. The manager, Danny, always goes extra mile to make sure that all the residents are satisfied.
For the years I lived there, this place became home for me. I have recently moved to Australia, and I miss it every day.
I am more than happy to recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an apartment in Westwood (or in Los Angeles in general).
The apartments do have some maintenance issues from the previous owners but the new mnagement is constantly making large scale changes to improve the apartments.
The landlord Danny is super nice and introduces us to other residents. He is good about returning calls and is very generous (eg allowing extra parking for family during graduation). I like that he tries to work with the residents and is understanding that we’re students. He even lets roommates pay rent separately or takes checks from parents which is super convenient in the college environment. Finally, moveout was very stress free. It was easy to clean and Danny was very fair with the security deposit (we got the whole thing back minus some unpaid rent)
My one complaint that management could improve is that communication with the landlord is only done via paper/letters or a phone call. I would suggest having an email for residents to request maintenance/report issues.
First of all, the landlord is very friendly and a bit quirky. He really cares to ensure that apartment conditions is fine, and responds very quickly to any issues for necessary replacements. He tries his best to talk to and know each resident, because he really wants the apartment to be like a community.
Upkeep in the public areas of the apartment complex is very good. Hallways and pool are always clean. The complex itself is quiet, but it is near frats. Of course, it's really close to campus too.
We were lucky to live in a very spacious 1 bedroom that was recently renovated with new kitchen equipment. Our rent was shared by 4 people (all names on lease), so rent was actually ~$560 each + gas + electricity + internet.
It's an old building still, so the elevators and water pipes really need to be replaced. Elevator breaks down few times a month, and the pipes drip a lot in the garage. Sometimes the water is yellow, so we have to run the tap for a while.
This apartment is so close to south campus! The pool is very clean, the neighbors are nice, and its a generally quiet apartment complex. Though it is near frat houses, noise wasn't really a problem. I lived in a studio with one roommate and it was pretty spacious since we didn't have a lot of furniture. It was a very comfortable apartment.
Danny was a super helpful and friendly landlord throughout the year! He's always looking out for his tenants and lending a helping hand when needed.
Lived at the complex for 2 years starting in Fall 2016, and overall had a great experience. The building is on the older side, but is very well maintained. It includes elevators, a pool, garage parking, and onsite laundry. It's also really close to campus, as I was able to walk to south campus from the building in about 10 minutes.
I rented a one bedroom apartment with two roommates, and since the living room was very spacious it never felt too cramped. The apartment had a lot of natural lighting, a large balcony, and the kitchen was upgraded right before we moved in. The apartment also included a garage parking spot at no additional cost, which was nice since it seems like most apartments in Westwood now charge extra for parking. Some nights, loud music can be heard from nearby apartments and the fraternities, but since noise does not bother me too much it was not an issue.
Danny is the manager at this property and he is very good at his job! He always wanted to make sure that residents were happy and felt safe. Whenever there were issues with our apartment, Danny would make sure they would get fixed asap, usually within the next day or so. He is also very friendly, and chats with residents when he sees them. Thanks to Danny, our rental experience went smoothly, without any issue. Thanks Danny!
The building is very nice and clean.
Very close to campus few minutes waking to campus.
The manager Danny is supper nice and very accomadating, he fixes anything reported very quickly. Danny goes out of his way to make sure that his tenants are happy in the building.
Also, the building is very secured and safe to live in. Spacious living room and kitchen, and the price was the best compared to any of the around buildings.
Also, There is a nice and clean pool area.
