Oceanaire Townhomes

Great location. That’s it.
— The walls are PAPER THIN.
— Manager is lazy & VERY forgetful. Annabelle directed any maintenance/​repair issues be requested via email, to which she never reads — or responds with a request to call her in a few days to remind her (?) (Who keeps a job with that sort of behavior?)
— This is the best part: They make you sign an agreement to ‘respect your neighbors’ and be quiet. (I loved that fact since I wanted a nice, quiet place to live.) Once I moved in to quickly realize it’s not enforced, unfortunately. Barking dogs at 6am, maintenance starts pounding, hammering at 7am. Did I mention the walls are PAPER THIN?
— The windows are the cheapest piece of glass. They shake when the wind blows or you close a door. Impossible to clean so they are ALWAYS disgusting. The screens fall out and are useless. The sliding door is no different.
— Maintenance is half-​assed at best. NO followup, ever, from management to insure anything was actually fixed. Many times it needs fixed again. Scheduling is SO fun (unless of course you’re willing to let perfect strangers come and go as they please). They NEVER arrive when they say they will. Often not even on the same day.
— Cabinets are original to the building — peeling paint everywhere, rusted hinges. The floor is fake wood crap, with chips and cracks. The patio privacy fence is hollow from termites.
— Moved into a place with a beautiful, lush landscaping. Almost like a tropical paradise. The trees were cut back so severely earlier in the year by people who obviously know nothing about plants. Now, most of the ferns and shade loving plants are dead and the ‘paradise’ that surrounds this place is now is just depressing.
— Best advice, find something better in this area.

My husband and I have lived here for about 4 years and are very happy. It has a lot of ample space and it is great for our little family. The second bedroom is big enough for a nursery plus a murphy bed for when my family is in town
The units have a jack and jill bath upstairs (a full bath and half bath conjoined by sliding door) and another half bath downstairs. It is great for us because it is nice to have the second vanity and toilet upstairs.
We have brand new floors downstairs and the living/​dining space is very roomy. We were able to paint all the rooms to colors we wanted and have really able to make the space feel more like home and not a rental. There is also a great patio space where you can put storage, table and chairs and grill with room to spare.
Also the rent has only been raised once for a minimal amount in 4 years. And another great bonus is that after one year you go month to month.
The management is great here and very accommodating. We have asked to remove the shower sliding door and put in a curved handle and it was not a problem. If there is ever an issue, help comes right away. Since living there they have upgraded our floors, dishwasher, shower and they have also agreed to clean our carpets for us.
Yes the building is older but so are most places in the area and the price is great, especially with such a great location. The walls are thick, sound just echoes in the corridor when windows are open. The windows are single pane but that is typical for Southern California.
This has probably been my favorite place I’ve lived compared to other apartment units in the area. We foresee staying here until we make the jump to our own home in the future.

Disappointed in location. Seemed run down. Hard to get a response when I emailed to check availability. Made several inquiries by phone and email didn’t get response. When I finally got a hold of someone not friendly

Spent weeks looking for «just the right place» when we relocated from the midwest and were fortunate enough to meet Annabelle and see Oceanaire. Spacious townhomes, private garages or covered parking, laundry rooms on site, polite neighbors a place that allows pets!
Walking distance from Elementary, Middle and High School was critical for us as we had one in each! Walk up appeal to the units is always the first thing our friends and family comment on when they visit. Totally soundproof units — in fact, we can’t even hear what is going on upstairs with our kids!
Responsive management to any and all concerns and the gardeners are very accommodating too when we needed them to trim back a tree for our satellite dish.
This was supposed to be a short term rental for us but we have looked all over the southbay and have yet to find something that has all the benefits as well as the wonderful staff as Oceanaire.
And did I mention walking distance to the beach, restaurants, groceries, Farmer’s Markets etc etc etc.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to rent —

Been here a year and a half and love the location. The management is very personal and accommodating! The size is perfect and the patios afford that extra outdoor living space. Outdoor maintenance is very good and have never had an issue when something is needed in the town home! Plan to stay a while!

Stumbled on these apartments a while back which are in a perfect location. You can walk right down to the beach and the pier. Plenty of local dives and eateries in the area, so you can get a bite to eat pretty much ²⁴⁄₇.
The apartments themselves are very spacious with hardwood floors in the living, dining, and kitchen areas that give it a contemporary feel. with carpet upstairs for the bedrooms. Because they are townhouses, they have more room than your average apartment with the same amount of bedrooms. They also have three bedroom units available for that growing family. Many of my neighbors also have pets so that is a plus for those looking for a place to house your «Precious». There are laundry rooms, barbeque grills and patio furniture set up for you to relax on.
If you have family Alta Vista Elementary school, Parras Middle school and Redondo Union High school are all in walking distance from these apartments. If you prefer private high school, it is also down the street from Bishop Montgomery. A big plus is the neighborhood is very safe and very local, so no worries about your children walking home from school. In addition there are plenty of local dives and eateries in the area, so you can get a bite to eat pretty much ²⁴⁄₇.
The Manager and staff are all friendly and very accommodating. They always respond to any problem you may have and take care of it. The grounds are maintained by professional gardeners and that is rare to find now days. I would recommend these townhomes if you are looking for nice townhouse apartment in a great neighborhood, with a friendly staff.
