Solid place to live
New style apartments for MBA students. Good place to live in Sawtelle. Management can be a bit tough to deal with as they aren't very helpful.

Convenient location
Pros: Close to campus (15min drive time), modern/new interior, many UCLA Anderson students live here, bars/restaurants close by
Cons: Expensive, noisy (if room faces Santa Monica), only 2 parking spots for 3bed/3bath

Great setup in a 3 bed / 3 bath
Living here is great - the layout of the apartment is fantastic. We have a huge kitchen and living room. All three of us have our own bathrooms, and each have 2 closets. The drawbacks are that we only have 2 parking spots for 3 people, so we rotate who is on the street. Also the fixtures and finishes could be a bit better - they are beautiful, but not the highest quality. Also the elevator in the building is slow - but that's really minor. Overall, really happy living here - the apartment is very bright as well, and pretty sound proof.

Great value
Great location. Great value for your money. Lived here with the same roomates the 2 years of the MBA.
Don't expect much noise or parties, neighbors complaint a lot and they have internal security to shutdown parties after midnight.

Santa Monica at Federal 3 bed / 3 bath
Really great apartment for someone just moving to Los Angeles before really having a true feel for the city and its different neighborhoods. The apartment is great - has great kitchen appliances, large windows and lots of sunlight, good floors, nice sized bathrooms and bedrooms. Nothing to really complain about, other than that I wish the apartment had come with 3 parking spots instead of 2 for a 3 bedroom.

Great Apartment
I like this apartment, it's close to school and much nicer than any place I thought I'd live in during business school

Nice Place For a Student
Nice, quiet building, with mostly other 20 somethings, and a few families. Easy to get to UCLA each day, and also only a short trek to Santa Monica. There aren't a ton of amenities that come along with the building, but parking is included, and the apartments themselves are relatively new.

Bad Management, low quality building
Management is very cheap and is does not provide even a basic level of service. Upon move-in the apartment was filthy. The management dragged their feet about cleaning it at all (scuffs on the walls, mildew in bathrooms, dirty floors and appliances). After extensive complaints, they agreed to clean it, but then did not actually clean it. Ultimately, I cleaned the apartment with my roommates and lived with the scuffs on the walls.
Items break frequently due to low quality materials, and again management drags their feet to fix anything.
The elevator is extremely slow, stairs are always faster. As of writing the elevator safety inspection is expired by 5 months. People have been stuck in the elevator on multiple occasions.
When my rent check was one day late in the 6th month of the lease, management immediately sent a notice threatening eviction.
The good: the location is good but there are many other apartments in the area that are equally good locations with better management. Also, the car wash across the road is very loud and starts early in the morning, so you cant keep the windows open.

Friendly management
Good value, nice apartment, parking is excellent. High street noise, neighbors can be loud, and although a cleaning crew regularly scrubs the common areas, other residents are generally slobs. Management is friendly and responsive, however.
