Extremely loud, filled with students and young people who listen to music at all hours of the day. Even during quiet hours. Weed smoke smell in halls, pretty frequently. Other than that this apartment is a nice place to live. Apartments are very spacious, clean, chic, halls are always clean, community is always presentable, But visitor parking is not great at all since we are a midtown location.

I have really enjoyed living at AVANA, however, the management team is incredibly unprofessional and immature. When it comes to crazy events, I am great about keeping a level head. Car was broken into and my apt flooded. I handled the situations on my own however, they lagged urgency when handling the water damage done to my apartment. They took over a month to handle the incident. I'm in sales so I know the importance of a good reputation, and this location, WHILE AMAZING, does not deserve a good review unfortunately.

It has been good for a 1st apartment in size/ location but I am not getting what I pay for. Little sunlight, I don't feel safe as a single female & management doesn't seem to care. The only reason I like it there is because my gym is right next door.

Avana Westside is not somewhere I'd recommend. Let's start with the pros...

- Good price and great location
- Nice apartments on the inside (updated amenities, decent floors and walls)

Cons...

-Not a safe area - we have multiple car break-ins every month, mainly due to...
-Management. They don't fix the parking garage gate for weeks, leading to said above events. They don't answer calls. They charge INSANE prices for your water bill (when I first moved in it was $40 for the month, last month was $155 - tried to call to get it lowered because that's obviously not accurate but couldn't get in touch with anyone for DAYS and had to end up paying it). They let pretty much anyone live in these apartments - they say they do a background check, but from what I can tell from my fellow residents, it's not very thorough. They are extremely unprofessional, unorganized and undeserving of leading this property. I could do it better and I have zero experience in being a landlord. It's just common sense to actually respond to your tenants for basic things like utility questions.
- Walls in apartments are thin - when people come and leave in apartments next to you, it can sound like they are literally opening your front door.
-Smells like weed in the hallway pretty much 24/7 (unpleasant and annoying, especially if you have guests)
-But don't worry about having guests, because there is nowhere for them to park. You get one visitor's pass, they have to park on the fifth floor of the parking deck (but you better figure that one out yourself or they will boot your guest for parking anywhere else), and people are CONSTANTLY waiting in the middle of the entrance road in front of the parking deck for god knows what. Just cars stopped everywhere obstructing the flow of traffic.
