Sunshine City Apartments

Let me begin by saying that I wish I could give some of these previous reviews a 1 star rating for their grammar and spelling. Ha! Regardless, the aforementioned (and seemingly infamous) building manager, Paris, has since been replaced by a very pleasant young lady by the name of Casey. She has been extremely helpful! She responded to my calls/​questions in a timely manner and has communication skills that are bar none, an invaluable trait for a building manager!
As mentioned in some past reviews, the application process is a bit tedious but at least I know now that I’d be a shoe-​in if I were to apply for a job with the CIA! I figure the thoroughness is a good thing because every one of my neighbors has also been through the same screening process.
The building is gated, and seems extremely clean, as do the bbq patio area AND the swimming pool!!! The exterior could use a bit of paint but the vending machines in the building (which I totally plan on looting in the event of an earthquake, be it big OR small) def make up for it! There is also gated parking as well as ample street parking, both permitted and non-​permitted.
As for the location, you can’t beat the proximity vs. affordability to one of the hippest little communities in all the country; Silverlake’s Sunset-​Junction is just a block away! The building is also a short walk from the Metro station on Vermont. I have friends that live in the immediate area who pay hundreds of dollars more for comparable living spaces.
Finally, the people I’ve met so far have been very inviting and friendly. Within minutes of my lease signing, I was approached by an oak tree of a man by the name of Del, our on-​site maintenance guy. He was all smiles as he gave me a very warm welcome to the building… much appreciated!

The manager here Paris was literally a nightmare when I inquired over the phone. I sound (am) extremely white over the phone, so maybe she’s not racist just a b****. Would never live somewhere knowing management will be rude and a huge struggle

The in house manager is probably the worst person in this entire universe.
The first 2 seconds we met her she claimed she never talked to me on the phone and she didn’t believe I called because «she knows every call that happens»
So finally we go in and I am a young girl so I had my older boyfriend come along to make sure I didn’t get stepped on. He asked some normal question and she said to him «are you the one trying to rent my property? No. Let the girl speak for her self. I’m not talking to you STAY OUT OF IT!»
Then she started asking person questions to my boyfriend and I about «why don’t you just move in together?» When I explained that we’ve only been together a short period of time then she started questioning us and telling us to just move in together. Like stay out of our business…
I have so many more things to say. But most importantly after all that we didn’t even get to see an apartment…

I agree to what Addy C says. I’ve been living in the building for less than a year with my sister. And i got this sarcastic landlady named Paris. Take note guys she’s the worst landlord ever. She has no one word? Why did i say that?
And Note: if you pay for the credit check its $ 25 each head. And if u fail there no refund… And i bet u guys. She pick the one that she like except if your the only choice.
My story, me and my sister failed cause we just came here so we have no credit yet. So we need a co-​signer. So we pay again for my auntie who’s living in the building too. She co sign for us. Guess what she fail… so its a total of 75 $ just for the credit check. But that time where really in need. So i asked my granpa with a pecfect credit to cosign for us. lol when she saw my granpas credit she call us telling us we can move asap.
I spend $ 100 just for that stupid credit check. And how come my aunt failed while until now she’ s living in the building.
* my sisters bike and one of the tenants bike got stolen in the underground gated parking lot of this building same date as my car got hit near the building because theres a lot of gay bars in the area, lot of drunk and theres a old man doing a marijuana thing at the fire exit. i always caught him der. Well anyway its legal.
1. When i was about to go to work and she’s mapping the floor she told me to use the stair and go on the other side of the building … My reaction is what the heck i park my car near there and you want me to walk that far just because ur maping the floor.
2. We make a deposit for my sisters keys then when were about to move out, she told me, theres no deposit. Then after a week i came back with my sister asking her if we can see all the duplicate receipt. She told us no u cant. Ill check it for u. Then she found out that we pay… so be careful make sure u save all ur receipt
3. She is looking for a checklist for the room. You’ll going to sign it before u move in.
She was telling me i make u sign it i remember. But then she cant find it. She didnt gave me a checklist before i move in. Then she force me to sign a month before i move out. I sign it then expecting that im going to get it my $ 300 security deposit. But then i only get $ 100…
She charge me $ 125 for cleaning (she’s telling my sister that i clean the bathroom for 3hour) well PARIS u dont need to complain since u charge us $ 125. And one thing more im so clean on my stuff its impossible for the tenant if we leave it with no dust. Pathetic
She also charge us 75 dollars for the sink i shud say ugly counter top. She said she need to raplace it
So i only got $ 100 out of $ 300. Since now i didnt get my deposit
4. When i left she called my sister and telling her that im so rude… well maybe its you not me Paris, thats why from my less than a year living in your building… I saw a lot of tenant go. Maybe because its the way u treat them. If debra only know.
5. She’s a racist. Telling me that i should be nice to rex the guy that liv next room. Im nice to him. Ijust dont like him because two of them our doing gossip. Besides rex doesnt have the right to talk about my bf even if he saw him walking on the hallway, the hell u cared guys. Am i not allowed to take visitor. Paris also told me that if theres a bad guy rex will help both of u girls. Yah right what did u mention before i move in., building is safe right .you should warn be better about urself (paris)
6. Area is near gay bar. Thats why my car got hit. Theres a parking in the pool first come owns it, unluckily that night, got no choice, no parking so i do side
. So when it saturday night its a hell anywhere u go .05 mi (theres no space)
my auntie wants to tranfer in a bigger room since my aunt is living there for 3years at first she said yes we will when theres a vacant room. Months past. When my auntie ask again. She said no transfering. NO ONE WORD.
How lucky i am, that im out of her building anymore… i dont wanna see her face… We hate her, me and my sister. In tagalog… Pakielamerang landlady. she talks like she’s our mom. And telling me before i move out that «im gonna tell ur granpa about it» well go ahead bitch tell my granda im leaving, as if u can force me to stay.
My auntie want to find another place in the right time. BeCause my cousins school is so near on that apt. thats why they cant move out. Im telling u guys theres a lot of cheaper apartment with nice environment. Than to have a racist landlady.

Best environment. Close to everything like Sunset Junction, Los Feliz, DTLA, Hollywood, 101, 5, Metro station or even Starbucks etc.
Going to clubs without DUI??? Take metro!
Theres elevator in the apartment, just in case you have so much of stuffs in your hands, bags, pockets, backpacks etc.
You will have a parking space in underground, which is enough size for mid size cars and the lot is gated safe.
The best thing to live this apt is that you get 2 resident pass for Jubilee Festival!
And you can see the main stage from roof top.

I went to apply to Sunshine apts in Silverlake and there was a 25 $ fee for application per person. On the phone she asked me for my last name and asked me where my name came from I said spanish and she said oh ok. I went to the apt complex and she made it difficult for me to apply. I saw all the tenants that where living there there wher mostly white. I’m thinking she’s a bit of a racist. I filed a credit application and she said I failed. I went and applied at another apartment complex witht the same price same deal with utilities included and I was aproved. If your a «minority» don’t even try she just takes your money and wastes your time.
