To address the person who wrote the review in May 2009 and any other review written this year and claimed they were living here next year- strange. Just moved out of the godforsaken complex and so did EVERYONE ELSE. These scammers are scrambling still to rent out every. single. unit. since NO ONE renewed their lease, and apparently they're also finding free time to flood Bruinview with fake, positive reviews.

I really have nothing pleasant to report about this place...
1. The sewage water from neighbors' showers flood into your own tub, creating algae and mold. The management knows this but blames it on our uncleanliness and expected us to clean up strangers' sewage water that collects in the tub at least once a day.
2. Upon movein, the carpets were filthy and there were HUGE black stains, along with pee stains from the previous tenants' dog(s). The manager's son told me today that they leave their units spotless for the new tenants. Uhhh...
3. They deduct "only" $850 for cleaning/painting. Not to mention the price in itself is a scam unless they completely remodel the entire unit, but the fact that they don't even bother cleaning the units adequately shows their dishonesty and unethical practice.
4. The real kicker- They deducted an additional $100 from the security deposit because the garage openers and a few keys weren't turned in, obtained a contract from me and two other roommates present that said he'd refund the $100 when we turned it in. Went back the next day with garage openers and remaining keys, he claims we magically generated a burn mark on the carpet (which he specifically acknowledged during our initial walkthrough and didn't comment on at our final walkthrough the day before) that's obviously been there for DECADES upon DECADES and refused to return the $100 OR the contract that gave us the legal right to the rest of our refund.

If you voluntarily live here after reading the REAL reviews here AND on lifeafterdorms.com, then you're in for a legal battle, some kind of infectious disease due to the horrid, unsanitary conditions, or both.

I live in a 2bedroom/2bath. We have spacious apartments, ours has a fireplace and a bar area--- nice :). The living area is very large and there is lots of closed space for storage or clothing-- in addition we have 2 walk in closets. There are managers on site but do not live here- it was good for when i had any problems. I had a problem with my sink-- was fixed next day which i thought was quick. The balcony is HUGE!-- u can easily fit 15 people on it! Had problems with the elevator twice this year. I have had some parties on which nobody complained so it is a pretty relaxed place. Overall, quiet building though-- walls are pretty thick-- thank god--lol !! Nice views and good location- it takes like 8 minutes to walk to school.

Lived here two years ago-- had no problems-- landlord was nice- received my deposit in full which was great! This place is ideal for UCLA students b/c it is so close to campus.

PROS:

1. Spacious Rooms- fireplace

2. Large balconies- great to have friends over- nice view.

3. Close to UCLA

4. All of the appliances actually work (there is a dishwasher, microwave oven, and even washer and dryer!)
b/c in my last apartment the year before- i lived somewhere and most of my appliances never worked!!

5. Great amount of sunlight inside our unit- loved this!

------------------------

CONS:

1. Can have friends over, but they do not allow big parties.

2. jacoozi only warms up at night-- they should change that.

3. it seems like problems get taken care of quickly, but one time it took about four days for the repairman to come to our unit to replace the refrigerator

4. elevator broke down twice this year-- but atleast the management tried to fix it as fast as they could

-------------------------

Overall, this place is not bad- lived here for about a year and i do not have major complaints. If i have any problems i go straight to the managers in the office.-- One of the main guys litterally always is smiling- he's nice. i would live here again-- Have experienced much worse.

Our Apartment is spacious and we even have a washing machine in the unit- that was pretty convenient. I have never had any problems with the landlord. The building staff is cool- problems are taken care of usually pretty quickly. Love the view and the jacuzzi- not always warm during the day, but warms up nice during the night. Overall, i would recommend living here.

I have lived here for two years and I haven’t had any major issues. When I have a problem it usually gets addressed by the guys down stairs...I had trouble with the elevator this year but its working now... I read some of these comments and it seems that some people over exaggerate things. This place is a lot cleaner than other buildings. I recommended this place to my friends that are moving next year.

I call bullshit on the post below. I live in 202 and neither I or any of my roommates wrote that post. Interesting.....
PS- None of us "tan and/or study" on the roof. Why? A) Because its ghetto. B) the jacuzzi has never been heated and C) We have better things to do than tan on the ghetto roof all day

It's a nice place to live. The apartments are very spacious and the neighbors are generally quite. The landlord is not as bad as others have written- my complaints have always been attended quickly. There are occasionally parties, but people are usually respectful of the other tenants. It's a couple minutes walking distance to UCLA and it's clean, so you get what you pay for in comparison to some other slightly less expensive buildings. I will also live here next year.
