Grand Belmont

I toured this apartment recently and had such a great experience. Vanessa made me feel incredibly welcome, even though I've never rented before and am moving out on my own for the first time, she guided me through everything with a smile. I wasn't sure how to even begin, but she made it so easy even telling me where the grocery store and her favorite Thai restaurant are. The location is a bit close to a busy street, which makes me nervous, but the windows are surprisingly well insulated. The guy in the office was also super friendly and answered questions I forgot to ask Vanessa, which made me feel confident about the community. I'm genuinely excited to call this place home--can't wait to move in!

Not perfect but it's a good building and the staff makes an effort to keep things running smoothly. Neighbors can be loud like with any apartment building. Frustrating though, to have to ask grown people to turn down surround sound, which shouldn't exist in an apartment. Unfortunately, maintenance has no consideration for how loud they're being, whether its while conducting maintenance on a unit or just talking on the phone in the hallways and empty units. I don't understand the disregard. The location is prime, IMO. A little pricey, but if you wait for a unit to reduce in price, you can get a good deal. The building is clean and in walking distance to great food.

I love the 1bdr apartment I moved into almost three months ago (as big as my previous 2bdr in LA!): The amenities, its central location and it is also surprisingly quiet (amazing vaulted ceilings, so I never hear the neighbors above me!), which makes it feel more like home everyday, if not a sanctuary on some days (like somebody "up there" likes me!). The management team (Lucy and Christina): Fantastical! Easy to communicate with, genial and they're professional in a personable way, where they definitely have built a community atmosphere here that's inclusive for all the tenants. I feel confident and at ease with them around!!

I've been a resident of Grand Belmont for almost a year and it has been a pleasant experience. The location is ideal. The building is located right off of the train line with tons of local restaurants within walking distance. There is on the site covered parking for those who do drive. (I don't drive) There is also an indoor bike rack storage and pet grooming station if your dog gets a little messy during your walks. Maintenance cleans the floors daily and as far as management is concerned I've only reached out to them one time and they have been cool. The only thing that I would have liked to know before hand was the separate utilities bill for the building. Ideally, it would have been helpful for me to factor that portion into my overall monthly rent. The way it works is you'll pay for your rent, Grand Belmont's building utilities, and your apartment's utilities (lights, gas, wifi, etc.). So it's three separate bills instead of two. Besides that I have no issue.
