AVEN Apartments

Come live here, spend over $36.000 a year to experience the following…
- HOT WATER: No hot water for over two months, and the clock is still running. The issue hasn’t been solved yet. No reimbursement at all for this. $0. You read well. $0. But if you are late on your rent you’ll be fined with a minimum fee of $100.
- ODOR FROM PINE & CRANE: If your unit faces Margo St. alley, if you leave your window/s opened, your apartment will get filled of the smell coming out of the vents from the... restaurant beneath. Starting at 9am your unit will smell to burned oil, fried food, garlic, meat, onion and who knows what else. This is disgusting. You’ll get sick of it. You’ll be hostage of this forever !!! You cannot avoid it and get away from it.
- WATER PRESSURE: The shower has a very low pressure. You’ll spend more time showering as less water than normal will come out.
- SMOKE IN UNIT & FAKE FIRE ALARM: Range cooktop ventilation. If you love cooking immediately discard the option of living here. Don’t doubt it one second. The ductless ventilation system will not extract the air from your unit to outside, instead, it will filter the air with a poor basic cheap filtering system incorporated in the microwave and recycle it back into your kitchen again. As a consequence your unit will smell for days, even if you leave your fake balcony door opened while cooking. That’s not all, wait, there is more. The “filtered” air will be pushed towards the top cabinet with doors, where the smoke/odor will be as well stored there for days. The rule to cook at any unit of this property is to avoid cooking any type of meats, and avoid any oils or fats, and after you cook, leave all your cabinet doors open so the odor gets out, and leave the window open for one entire day. Then, enjoy all the bugs and insects that will get into your unit because of leaving the window opened. Hence, cook yourself some pasta and eat a salad if you don’t want to get deaf with the sounds of the in-unit smoke detectors. //// Also it has happened many times already, that the fire alarm of the building gets triggered after someone opens the door of their unit to vent it, because as I just explained, the ventilation system of the range is the worse and cheapest one in the market. As a consequence the emergency protocol gets triggered and immediately all elevators are disabled for over 1h. Imagine having this issue often. It’s a nightmare!!!!! Read More

The staff has been so nice and everything is clean. I feel safe here

I feel that every component of the Aven property has exceeded my standards! I love my apartment, community areas, interacting with staff and have had an excellent experience overall!

This apartment complex has a great price/quality ratio for Los Angeles.

The one downside is noise from other residents depending on were your apartment is located.
