Garey Building

I’ve lived here going on 6 years and can’t say enough positive things. The neighborhood, the amenities, the overall vibe, but best of all is the maintenance team - especially Manny! He fulfills maintenance orders unbelievably quickly and is always so kind and friendly when we see him. Thank you Manny and Garey crew!

Love the building. Amenities are great, maintenance does a great job keeping everything working. Always very clean. The pool is a great place to hang out

good. i love living here. get fast help. neighborhood is nice. my dog loves it. i would definitely live here again with the same rent cost for sure.

My experience has been exceptional so far. Even thought I have only lived at the Garey since January 2025, I have not had any difficulties the entire time.

The maintenance team at the garey is always so responsive. Manny was very kind and came in end of day to help fix our washer and replace some light bulbs. He works quickly and effectively! Washer is once again running and our apartment is back to full lighting. Thank you Manny!

Manny and the maintenance team are doing a great job - always easy to communicate with and requests are handled swiftly.

The maintenance team in the Garey building clearly has some experience. Manny made quick work of our broken pipe and got us back in the game in no time.

Manny is great! He really cares about his work and is always friendly and helpful. This is true of all maintenance staff. It’s one of the main reasons I have lived here for almost 8 years!

Thanks, Manny on the quick resolution to our bathroom door that has been acting up. The Gary buildings’s in-house maintenance team is always quick to respond to issues and are pleasant to work with.

Great maintenance - great experience with Manny today!

This has been an amazing 5 years here. And Manny's excellent maintenance work made us feel sage and comfortable for every day of it. I wouldn't live anywhere else in LA.

Been here for almost 4 years and it’s hard to leave because maintenance is great, especially MANNY!

I've loved living here for the past 3 years and so so sad to leave. But I highly recommend if you're in LA, this is the best building I've lived at. Maintenance and staff are all so friendly and responsive. Will definitely miss LA and this building as well.

I fell in love with The Garey Building the moment I saw it. I just knew it was going to be my home. The staff and residents are all so kind and welcoming.

Awesome building. Well maintained, great amenities, great eventss.

The Garey building is a great place to live. It is clean, quiet, and they host get togethers on a regular basis so you can get to know your neighbors.

The professionalism and effectiveness of the maintenance team at Garey is the best I have ever experienced.

Insulation is good. Amenities are great. Furniture is refreshed often.

Great apartment building! Clean, quiet, respectful residents, and great amenities. They host resident events that bring the community together with drinks and food.

The Garey building has been a breathe of fresh air. I moved here from living in a high rise on spring street and the cleanliness alone has been amazing. Area is quiet at night and still feels generally safe. The property is well maintained and staff is very friendly and responsive.

The building is extremely well maintained and the amenities are very luxurious. The overnight security and the maintenance of access points makes the building feel secure.

Great experience overall! Knocked it down a star since animal waste and smell tends to be an ongoing issue. They try to keep up with the cleaning but pet owners still continue to be irresponsible

Great location near many great restaurants and breweries. The building has great amenities making it a comfortable living for residents. Only discomfort is the amount of dog barking noise for residents near the dog drop off business that is on the street level of the building. In the morning it’s a never ending amount of barking.

I have lived at the Garey building for three years, I love the neighborhood convenience, the amenities and I appreciate the staff working with the tenants to make the apartment safe and an enjoyable experience.

THIS BUILDING IS NOT SAFE! UNCOMPASSIONATE MANAGER. The catalytic converter of one of my cars was stolen from inside the gated parking structure. The car was parked on the lobby level, close to the main door to access the building. One would assume that my parking location would be the safest location to park, but that's not the case. Break-ins keep happening most likely because thieves have figured out how to best access the building and have seen that there isn't any added security. A case was presented to the property manager via email that there should be security designated just for the garage, but the request falls on deaf ears. The Property Manager is dismissive and fails to address the rise in theft inside the garage. As another reviewer mentioned, most of your complaints/requests will be ignored. When I notified the office of the incident, I was thanked for filing a police report so that the police can patrol our area better! I guess I should consider myself lucky for only getting my catalytic converter stolen (over $3k to replace, btw) as our neighbor had his WHOLE CAR stolen from the garage. While this place is beautiful, it's not worth the nightmare and the paranoia that comes from having your personal property stolen while you sleep. This place is not cheap as you pay a monthly fee for water heating, pest control, sewer, trash, and even a service fee for the program they use to charge your rent (ha!) on top of the rent, utilities, parking fee, and pet fee. While we are clearly notified that the building is not responsible for any damage to personal property, there is an expectation that a building as expensive as this one will treat its tenants with respect and compassion, and that at least SOME action will be taken against the rise in theft. I also want to point out that the rest of the team at the Garey is really kind. My complain is against the Property Manager alone.

This building has a serious, borderline health hazard structural design flaw that amplifies the impact noise from the unit above you. There is ZERO attempt to isolate sound between floors in this poorly constructed building. Every single step the tenants above me take will rattle the dishes in the cabinet, make my windows pop/creek, and gives off an ear piercing low frequency boom accompanying the vibration of my ceiling. The walls are not much better - I can clearly hear my next door neighbor's baby screaming throughout the day. I've lived in five apartments around LA, all cheaper than this one, and none have come close to replicating how awful the noise is here. The management team does not care - All they're willing to do is send pointless emails to the tenants above you reminding them to be mindful of their noise; This does nothing to address the structural issue. Living here has been hell. I've developed insomnia, anxiety, migraines from poor sleep, and chronic ear ringing/pain from the constant low frequency noise emitted by the tenants above me as they move around non-stop from 7AM to 3AM. Mild relief has come from using noise cancelling headphones and sleeping with a loud white noise machine. On top of the noise I've also personally experienced: Nine maintenance requests over three months to fix inoperable appliances, my car being broken in to while parked inside the gated resident garage, and things in the apartment being completely broken during the move in inspection (photos attached). Do not live at The Garey - any alternative option in this area is better for your wallet, sanity, and health.

The Garey Building is a great location for people who enjoy spending time in the Arts District and Little Tokyo. The area is very walkable, and the Garey Building is just far enough away from the popular spots that it is still quiet when at home.

The Garey Building does an exerllent job of managing the building and creating a lovely community for all the residents.

Poorly managed. Management does not care about the tenants. Building is noisy and in a bad location.

I've lived at The Garey for approximately four years. It's quiet, well-maintained, and well-managed. Highly recommend.

The Garey Building 's staff is very dedicated and professional. The building is always very clean. Thank you!

The Staff at the Garey are professional, neat, polite and respectful. The building is immaculate.

Repairman was excellent! Very helpful and efficient, as always.

Don't move here unless you want to live in a pretty building that is fairly maintained, but has terrible management and security.

Well kept, well managed property. I love living here and appreciate all they do to make this a great place to live.

Dont move to the Garey Building. Its a facade. Great building, awful neighbors and management.

Clean well maintained apartment building with great amenity spaces.

The Garey Bldng is a community of unique, dynamic apartments, cool residents and a staff that cares. Two thumbs way up!

See above. This place is substandard. The rent not worth it

Great location to live at, close enough to all the great breweries, coffee shops and restaurants in Art District and Little Tokyo but far enough so you don't get woken up by drunk people.

Clean Community!

They’re using an app for payment. The app doesn’t show a ‘pay’ button. It works so random. You should think additional $100 - $162 on the lease price. The app will make a late fee.

Beautiful building, wonderful staff and community. Perfect for dog lovers. If you enjoy walking everywhere with easy access to metro, this is a wonderful place to live.

I’m thoroughly impressed by the professionalism of the staff at The Garey. Andrew was such a huge help throughout the leasing process and set us up with the perfect unit for our wants and needs. The amenities here are top notch and the design of every element creates an inviting space both for residents and their friends. Plus the location is incredible as the closest bars and restaurants are minutes away by walk! That’s rare form for living in LA. Would definitely recommend checking this place out.

The Garey Building is in the heart of the growing community of the Arts District. It’s like living downtown without being in the core of the loud and congested city. The building itself is very open and airy where you don’t feel like you are trapped in a concrete box. The apartments themselves are clean, tastefully designed with touches of modern throughout. The bedrooms and porches are larger than average when compared to similarly sized apartments in the downtown area. I would recommend this community to anyone that wants to live in an actual community.
