NMS Properties Inc

The location of 11 665 mayfield is so nice, most of your needs can be met within walking or biking. The apt complex is well re modeled. Management is supportive and very professional. The only downside is your neighbors may be snotty

They manage slightly higher priced properties… But maintenance and services are usually pretty swift. So it’s much appreciated.

We’ve lived in their West LA complex on Missouri Ave for about 1 year. During this time we’ve experienced only exceptional maintenance service: Lee is always professional and competent.
The management changed hands a few months ago and I can’t report any misgivings there.

Re: 2001 olympic studios. Great apartments. On the pricey side but what you get is really good. The repair staff is very responsive. It is well maintained and it is quiet. Great for a medical resident on the west side.

This is a nice place to live in Santa Monica. The repairmen are responsive and friendly. The mail is a tough situations as packages are delivered to a common area sometimes. But overall beautiful and a central location, grocery store, juice, coffee and some eating places all within a square block.

great customer service, easy to pay for the rent, it’s always clean and everything is taken care of. Very good location and the supermarkets are less than a block away!!!;)

2001 Olympic; Great place to live. Clean. Quiet. Secure. West Side.

The manager Ram is great. There is a noise above my unit coming from the AC system. It has done this during the winter for the last couple years but I think they are trying to fix it. The property is in a great location and its easy access to the freeway and back roads.

The staff is fantastic! I love living here. The apartments are clean and modern, the location is fantastic and the staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Great management. Very responsive maintenance. Will definitely recommend to others.

I’ve had a great relationship with NMS. The complex where I live is exceptionally clean and well taken care of, and everyone has been incredibly accommodating. You can’t go wrong using NMS as your landlord.

We have been extremely happy at NMS Westchester. The maintenance team is especially on point!

Spent a year and a half at NMS Studios. Very nice staff, and the website was very convenient for rent payments and service requests. The extra charge for online payment was a bit of a pain — only a few dollars for checks, but it was only saving me the time of writing a check and walking downstairs.

This review for 2011 Olympic Studio Lofts:
Just moved in to this complex about 6 months ago and have had a great experience thus far. The complex is always kept up and clean. The office staff is friendly and efficient. Great place for young business professionals to live! Close to 10 Freeway and surrounding offices in the area.

Most of the apartment reviews I read make me laugh because it’s SO obvious that those people don’t have much experience with apartment living.
I’ve dealt with giant management companies in the past & rented in 6 cities, 3 of them in CA. I’ve rented in a small college town, two small cities, & 2 major ones & at this point, there isn’t ANYTHING I haven’t seen.
So, believe me when I tell you that in the nearly 2 years my husband & I lived in Luxe@1539, it was the best experience we’ve ever had with management. There are some REAL horror shows out there, & most places will basically rob you blind if they can, & in ways most people are too naïve or too backward to address. I’m NOT one of those people, but I have only had a couple TINY issues since I’ve lived in an NMS apartment, & they were handled well.
Right after moving in, we began to realize that there was a constant «booming» sound from below, neighbor’s music, & at times we could tell what song it was & hear the words. It was LOUD. We tried twice to knock on her door but she pretended not to hear, we had to tell Mayra, who was the awesome concierge in the building then, & she saw to it that the girl got a note, telling her of the problem. This girl actually got WORSE, & blamed our «barking dogs,» for her loud music, though WE have only cats! We spoke to Andrew Sabatine, who was more than helpful, & we both decided that since her lease was up in a couple months, it wasn’t worth evicting her but instead just not renewing her lease. Good riddance, & quiet since.
Sure, we hear footsteps upstairs, but get used to it, people, THIS IS APARTMENT LIFE.
Another issue that came up was that teardown & construction soon began on the Marriot that was going up directly across the alley from our balcony. After a month or 2 of this, we realize it would get worse, not better, & especially since I’m home all day, we decided to ask if we could move to another unit in the building. Literally within a month of asking, we’d been shown one we liked & moved. No hassle whatsoever. We extended our lease at that time.
The unit we’ve been in is very tiny, but we figured we’d change again when a better one was available when the lease was up. The only problem with this unit is the washer/​dryer, which is one unit. It literally took hours & nothing was ever dry, then it locked the clothes in for a whole day & the handle broke when we tried to get it open. S**t happens.
Now, here’s where most people would yell about the amount of rent they pay & how they shouldn’t have to get quarters to do wash in the communal machines. This is true, however, the w/​d in the previous unit wasn’t this type & worked fine.
You pay for LOCATION more than amenities in Santa Monica, & if you don’t know/​like that, you shouldn’t be looking to rent in Santa Monica. Sorry, but as long as demand is high, prices will be. It’s how the world works.
We have literally everything we could want to do within walking distance, & NMS staff have ALL been great to us.
We just asked to move to another bldg, 1427, & they helped us find a unit that’s perfect! Again, just like that, & before our current lease was up because we signed another long one. We dealt mostly with Anastasia Pavkina, & she’s a pleasure to deal with, though everyone else was nice, too.
Pros: Nice new construction, SOUNDPROOF glass, (trust me, you won’t find better, only worse,) staff that’s helpful, staff that DOESN’T invade your privacy, (that has happened to me many times in other places!), LOCATION, clean, concierge, well-​maintained buildings, don’t really hear neighbors
Cons: odd floorplans in 1539, windows aren’t cleaned, no concierge on weekends & sometimes packages remain there.
**Most of the other things I see complaints about really aren’t management’s fault, & as far as the «snotty» office staff??? I can’t understand that one. My husband & I are friendly people & that’s what we’ve gotten back from the staff.

NMS Properties is by far the worst company that I have ever lived under. It is no suprise that every single one of their buildings gets under 3 stars. Like many other past tenants have said, the rent you pay is in no way compatible with the services you receive. As an easy going person I was not expecting to be waited on hand and foot. However, to offer zero amenities and ask for $ 4100 in rent is absolutely ridiculous. NMS apartments as a whole are over-​priced and poorly managed. From the cheaply made appliances to the fake wood floor.
I was lured into one of their «luxe» properties which promised both security and a high end living experiance. However, within a month of living at this property my $ 950 locked bike was stolen from their not so secure underground locked garage. Their generic and canned email response was nothing more than a literary shrug. Boasting about a secure living space when your building has not one security camera nor does any employee know how to set up the built-​in alarm system isn’t just false advertising its unproffesional and frankly dangerous. I know it is very LA to keep to yourself, but in a «community» such as NMS you would expect if someone saw something to say something, to YOU. Let me explain; after the incident with the bike I started to doubt the safety of the building and wanted to take advantage of their built-​in alarm system. I wrote 6 emails, made 4 calls and even showed up twice in person to activate the alarm service, to which I only got one response, ‘Um, I’m not really sure. Wait on it and I’ll get back to you once I find out.’ Apparently that information was never obtained because none of my other attempts to reach out on this matter were even dignified with an answer. Shortly after, I started to notice items missing and others moved around. Before I waste anymore time on the disguisting company I will just say don’t ever rent from nms. They are a scam company and absolutely awful. Oh yea. The only people who wrote positive reviews here have to work for the company. They are pure bs. If you want to waste tons of money and get none of your security deposit back while also having non of your needs met then live in an nms building.

This review is for ¹⁴²⁰⁄₁₄₃₀ 5^th Street in Santa Monica. The building is in an excellent location if you’re interested in living right in the heart of downtown Santa Monica and walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, bars and the beach. The downside is it gets a bit congested at times and the building itself is very loud. Here are the pros and cons of the building.
Pros:
1) Location
2) Building is modern, new and well kept
3) Great maintenance and customer service
Cons:
1) Noise — if you face the courtyard, expect to be woken a couple times a month by neighbors socializing on their balconies or having parties. The noise goes straight into the other units even if you have your windows closed. It’s really annoying. A lot of the building is in their 20’s so it feels like a frat house at times. You also get footstep noise from above and through the walls of your neighbors.
2) Units are designed well but don’t expect anything high-​end. Dishwasher is frigidaire and works poorly. Same with washer/​dryer
3) Traffic — Driving in and out of the apartment is tricky depending on time of day
4) Price — you’re paying a high price for the location and new building. No amenities.
5) Leasing office was a nightmare dealing with when viewing the apartments.

We moved in a little over a month ago. Our unit is remodeled with a washer /​dryer and hardwood floors, which is really nice and not easy to find in LA. The neighborhood is nice, a little noisy, from the planes flying nearby, but it’s more like white noise and not really disruptive. We had some trouble with getting internet when we first moved in, but the ladies in the leasing office did everything they could to help get our internet going.
They’re very quick to get any maintenance done quickly, as well! Everyone is friendly and helpful. :)

I live at the 1502 Broadway property. The apartments are very nice, new and clean. The people who do maintenance are very good and very prompt, as is the woman who works in the 1502 office.
But I agree with Unilocalers who say that the leasing office staff tend to be very snotty and don’t go out of their way to satisfy customers.
The office in the building does not open until 10am which can be a pain if you are gone for work and no one is there to accept packages (which often are delivered before 10a).
The office is separate from the building entrance so it does not work like a concierge. They can’t let or not let anyone up. This includes delivery people who cannot get upstairs without a key, even if you buzz them in. You have to go downstairs to meet them every time. It is a ridiculous system.

Overall for the rent you pay to live here, you don’t receive the compatible services. Only rating the 1420 mms properties.
Pro: new building, new room amenities (easy to use), location right in the heard of SM, clean lobby and elevator
Cons: leasing office staff tend to be very snotty, don’t really go out of the way to make the customers feel satisfied. They only care about getting people to lease apts, but not helping the tenants. So expect their attitudes to have a major shift once you move in. Rooms facing the courtyard don’t get any sun light at all. Expect to live in the dark for ²⁄₃ of your day. Fire alarm is super sensitive in the building. You can hear 3 – 5 runs every week.
Haven’t received my deposits back, but I expect to take a big cut although I didn’t do any damage to the place. Sure they will find some reasons to charge me everything anyway.
