Alister Sherman Oaks

I'm so happy to have found my new home at Alister Sherman Oaks! It ticked all my boxes as far as location, price, and a really beautiful place!

Alister has a lot of pros and a lot of cons. The pros are the location, living room size, EV charging, the amenities offered (rooftop, pool, Amazon locker, in unit laundry and gym). The cons are the non working elevator (I’ve been here for 3 years roughly and it’s always broken this is the longest stint of it not working), the laundry project and lack of compliance with the city, small closets that are smaller due to the laundry project, small balconies, broken gates and or fob system (which means the building is less secure at times). All in all if Alister keeps rent the same or lower I would renew but any increase would require me and my husband to look elsewhere.

It’s peaceful and pleasant to live at Alister Sherman Oaks. Management is professional and gets the job done in a timely manner, if you need assistance.

Marissa and JP were so awesome through this whole move in! Marissa communicated with me the whole time! I’m excited for the new journey. I am already loving the bbq lounge area

This was the best moving experience I have ever experienced. Truly grateful. The staff is very very nice. The property manager is absolutely amazing. Great location as well. I will definitely be staying here until I buy my house.

Excellent experience so far. The maintenance requests are taken care of right away. I am pleased with my experience with all the staff. I am happy I have found this building.

Moving in here was super simple. The staff was responsive to all my questions. Living here has been peaceful so far and everything I need is very close.

Despite some challenges with the washer and dryers as well as with the elevators, I have been enjoying living at Alister. DJ is super helpful and Donnie and Lloyd in maintenance are very responsive with any issues. If anything does happen it’s always resolved. I know that no place is perfect but for apartment living in LA this has been a pretty positive experience.

Our experience with Alister was very pleasant. We found their listing on Apartments.com. I would say the photos reflect accurately to the units we toured. Marissa was amazing at answering all our questions and helping us throughout the leasing process. Very happy with everything. Was very easy!

Lisa, Marissa, and DJ were so helpful in my moving transition! Wonderful experience and super welcoming. Lisa was very patient and informative with the application process. DJ showed me great rental options and the tour was great and informative! Marisa went out of her way to help me with my inquiries. Wonderful staff.

Muy limpio y acogedor espero sea un muy buen hogar para mi familia mis hijos estarán encantados Gracias alas chicas que me ayudaron con todo mi procesos

Stay away broken promises and offers not honored if starts that way stay away.

Do not I repeat do not move into this apartment building… this has been a terrible experience I only lived here 1 year and that’s enough for me. The building is from the 80s and needs a complete renovation. Then the whole time while living in this this complex the elevator near me didn’t work, the building has a spider infestation in the Apts and throughout the hallways I woke up to spider bites Multiple times to the point I had to buy insect spray at Home Depot. The walls are paper thin and I could constantly hear my neighbors walking/stomping above me and the dirty stairwells, constant vehicle break ins just to name a few issues every 3 months there was a vehicle break in your vehicles are not safe. The Final straw is they went up on my rent almost $300 which is ridiculous. Which helped with the decision to move out March 2023. I was also overcharged with move out fees. Never received my $600 security deposit I thought I would receive a portion back. No instead I received a bill 2 weeks later saying I owe $1,479.16 in charges $1,222.91 of that was strictly painting charges I was shocked in disgust. Especially since estimated move out cost sheet showed painting would be $425 but I was emailed that the Alister has the right to charge me whatever they want. I left my apartment in great condition they still charged me a deep cleaning fee, shampoo fee and 3 times the cost listed for painting because they can. So here’s my far warning in advance do not move into this Alister Sherman Oaks apartment building…

Beware of this property. There are constant issues like the water heater being broken so you have no hot water. More than a week of not having hot water this year. In a supposedly high-end building. Elevators are constantly breaking down. Any rain leads to flooding and people having to move out. The building doesn’t care, and will continue to raise rents. Cars being broken into and packages stolen because they have no security. Moving in here is taking the risk that you’ll likely have to move again in a year if not months.

Today, I won a court Judgement against Alister Sherman Oaks (Mill Creek) for the return of my $600 deposit and removal of false collection reporting to I Q Data. Alister Sherman Oaks reported false information to I Q Data collection to circumvent the return of my $600 deposit owed when Alister bought and took over property on May 29, 2015 from Amli on the Boulevard. I was scheduled for move out June 12, 2015 and had fulfilled 12 month lease with Amli. I returned keys to D'Edward (Alister property manager) and told him to forward my deposit, shortly after I received a letter from I Q Data collections stating Alister opened a case and submitted bogus charges for paint and other items which were not true because Alister immediately upon take over changed the entire property to fit their corporate model. After countless emails, certified letters and phone calls to no avail, I took them to court today God's Grace prevailed Glory to God

Living at the Alister is a dream come true. I wake up every morning with a smile on my face hitting the gym and making a protein shake. The showers are nice and warm the building and everything is nice and sturdy. I can do everything in peace. I just installed apple home with no issues and have lived here for 1 year and had no issue it's the best especially for a mother of 2 girls and 2 boys the boys love running around so I find the pool the perfect place to dive into fun my girls love doing ballet and there is lots of open room I have my own bathroom and am happy I don't have to share my bathroom with guests I have had no problems and found the building very entertaining and there is always something to do at the Alister. Also my husband comes from work with back pains so he hits the gym 6 pm before dinner and comes back up. Washing clothes is a breeze especially with 4 kids all we have to do is put our chart next to the washer and dryer and the kids put in their pile and I put mine in the kids share one room but there is no room to small I love the Alister and recommend it to all moms and dads out there it is very helpful.

I would not recommend living here, unless you are looking to live on a noisy building site. I have had to deal with the following in a "renovated" apartment: Washer/dryer fall out of the closet and spilled water everywhere Bare wiring in kitchen Missing light fitting Knife gash in wooden floor Missing parts from stove Windows won't open Dust and noise Construction guys at 7am every day outside my apartment having loud conversations AC compressor above my unit emitting loud hum/vibration throughout the day. One inch gap under my door, leading to noise, and no doubt nice AC bills, Being told told things would get fixed, to find out they have no key to access my unit. Fire and safety issues, the elevators go down frequently, use the stair wells and the handles to the exit doors fall off. Granted some things got fixed but not without constantly asking, but this building does not reflect what you pay in rent.
