Downey Plaza

This place is horrible!!! Always dirty and the manager doesn’t care. She allows cholos aka gang members to live in the property. She is never in the office and if you leave her a message she will not get back to you until about a week later. She is not professional looking and problems are never solved!!! They don’t like fixing anything.

This a good deal for the $ 871.00 lease (1 year) rate.
The outside look is a bit deceiving, because it looks closed off and not very polished.
There is a large pool, great patio (common area) section.
The maintenance and landscape team do a great job of maintaining the area clean.
The manager is nice but not extremely friendly, he prefers communication thru notes (perhaps for record keeping). He has always addressed all repair issue on a timely basis and does not pry.
Our neighbors keep to themselves, as all of the tenants in this complex do. Not usually noisy, very quiet in the night. The complex located across the street is very noisy, so all of the bothersome sounds are from there.
This complex is very safe. The entrances are kept closed and locked, so the only way to get in is by knowing a tenant. One can arrive late at night, park and walk to the apartment and feel unthreatened and secure.
The actual apartments are spacious for one bedroom apartments. They are not new, but they are clean. A LOT of closet space.
There are laundry rooms (2) on site, they are at times clean and other times, dirty (maintained by 3^rd party vendor).
Close to 5 freeways, markets and restaurants.
Would recommend for the $ 871.00 price, but once the rent bump arrives (after 1 year lease, it goes up to $ 950.00)… it becomes a bit too expensive…
