Canvas L.A.

I just moved out of Canvas LA after living there for 2.5 years and I miss it dearly! The building was always well kept and clean. There were so many cool places to hang out in the building that I wish I spent more time hanging out there. Bill, Carlos and Maria were always so helpful in assisting me with any issues that I needed help with even up until weeks after I already moved out. My apartment was spacious and beautiful which is a hard thing to find dtla. The locale of the building is perfect as we were located dtla without having to deal with parking issues or many of the personalities that you normally encounter downtown while being just minutes away from all the fun Dtla has to offer. Safety was never an issue for me as a police department is located directly across the street and the building hired security guards to patrol the building and parking garage particularly at night. When I first moved there there weren’t any security guards but I was really impressed with the building’s response to one instance of trespassers trying to gain unauthorized access to the building and/​or attempting to vandalize the building. I know that many building managers would have ignored such an instance by brushing it off. I have many friends who live dtla in seemingly beautiful apartments but always had so many issues that I never faced. If you decide to live here you will be very happy with your choice and feel like part of the family.

Moving from Orange County, it was a difficult transition to find a place in LA we would be able to call home. My significant other and I scoped out a number of apartments but never fell in love. We decided to try again the following week and were on our way home when we saw «Canvas LA.» We decided to stop by and tour then shortly after, we fell in love with not only the apartment but the staff as well. We’ve been living here for a few months now and it’s safe to say that we will be keeping our lease for years to come. The community is so wonderful; everyone from your neighbors, to the maintenance staff (Carlos, Maria and the rest of the staff are amazing and very diligent), to the staff in the front office (Vanessa is an exceptional individual) and Bill the Property Manager. The entire Canvas LA Team go above and beyond to accommodate you so you may undoubtedly call this place home. I would personally recommend Canvas LA to anyone.

We’ve been living here for about 5 months now and everything has been great so far. Ample parking, great amenities, and modern furnishings are a few of the top reasons we love living here. Some of the reviews complain that it’s loud but we’ve never had a problem with noise, but it could be because we’re on the top floor. The management really makes an effort to ensure tenants have fun– from food truck nights, to nightly movies on the roof deck, we love it here!

Extremely long over due review…
I was a resident here for a little over 3 years and honestly I have nothing but great things to say about the place. Here is what I like about this place…
1. the amenities are incredible. The cloud room is a hit. Be prepared for your guests to «ohhhh and awwwwww» when they see the views of Downtown LA. Also the pool and jacuzzi are a great way to unwind after a long day. Its like living in a resort
2. The walls are extremely thick. This for me was incredibly important. I value my peace and quiet especially after a hard day of work. Thankfully I never heard my neighbors. Unlike other places, you will never have to worry about hearing your neighbors conversations or arguments. Also, I had the privilege of living on the top floor, so i never had to worry about hearing peoples footsteps. If you live on a lower floor, this may be a problem so I cant attest to that.
3. Management is on top of their game. Bill and Joseph are incredibly friendly and professional and are always there if you ever have any maintenance issues. Its great to be in a building with people like that running the show, where you know any problems will be fixed.
4. Ample Visitor Parking. Especially in downtown LA, that is unheard of
The only drawback to this place would be that its not really walking distance to anything. It would have been perfect if there were good restaurants nearby, but you can just take an über I guess. #FirstWorldProblems
If you decide to make Canvas LA your home, you wont regret it

These people were raving and ranting about their Unilocal reviews but let me tell you something so appalling. I went in with my roommate to inquire about a 2 bedroom apartment. Marie was awesome but the business manager came into the picture and i have never felt so discriminated. He acted as if I didn’t know there were qualifications to rent an apartment at canvas and spoke as if we were little kids who didn’t know anything. By far, the more unfair and discriminating experience I’ve had while apartment hunting. They also were head over heels to stay in touch with us when it’s been about three days and I still haven’t gotten a follow up phone call or anything. So here’s an accurate review for you guys, to the business manager: get your act together. To the rest of the staff thank you for being kind and welcoming but I would never want to live in a place where I’m constantly demoted. Thanks for showing us around and good luck.

Can’t say enough good things about this apartment building. I have lived here for about 3 years now and I don’t want to live anywhere else! The amenities are amazing. Pool, clubhouse, cloud room, viewing theater, office, meeting room and gym. I use the gym quite often when I can’t make it to training and there usually isn’t a lot of ppl in there. I’ve used and reserved the clubhouse, pool and cloud room for numerous bbqs and parties. It’s also a plus that the residents that live here are very nice as well.
Bill and Joseph are amazing. They really make me feel comfortable and on many instances have shown they have my best interest at hand. I had a difficult situation and I won’t go into detail but all I can say is Bill and Joseph supported me every step of the way and it was resolved thanks to their support. The maintenance staff is also very responsive, prompt and friendly as well. Whenever I have a problem, they are only a call away.
The parking in this area is really convenient as well compared to any other area in downtown. Ample parking on the street, indoor gated parking and worse case scenario, parking lots are near. The one thing I do appreciate as a single woman living by herself is there is a police academy/​station across the street and nearby. It’s very rare I stay at an apartment building very long since there are so many to choose from in downtown, but I will be renewing my lease when it ends. Thank you Canvas LA!

The amenities here are awesome: almost full-​size pool, jacuzzi, lounge room, gym, rooftop BBQ deck. It’s almost like a resort here! There’re also monthly activities hosted by the leasing office: food-​truck Thursday, halloween party, july 4^th, etc. All with a live DJ and food & drinks.
The units are all well built, with nice flooring and appliances etc. Tenants are generally nice and social. The only down side to this complex is the floors are kind of thin and you can hear your upstairs neighbor walking. Also, since this community is targeted towards fresh grads /​young professionals mostly, the noise level can be louder than normal.
But if you like city living and don’t mind a little bit of noises, this is a great place to live!

Lived at this spot for 2 yrs from 2011 – 2013. Management was always awesome and helpful. We had an unfortunate situation when I first moved in. Long story so won’t go into detail but management resolved the situation and made it right! The gym was always kept clean as well as pool, theater and rooftop theater. Location is awesome too, I like that you are not right in the crux of Downtown so traffic is not absolutely terrible in the area. Parking is also convenient and for the most part you can usually find parking on Beaudry when friends or fam are over.
The only thing I would say that is somewhat of a negative is that it can get loud at times. Since there are USC students and more of a younger crowd living here the pool parties can get loud and wild at times but security and management is usually on it when you file any complaint. I would definitely recommend Canvas LA!

This review is 4 months overdue but I had to share the great experience I had while living in Canvas for 1.5 years.
Bill and his team provide great customer service and are always quick to respond to residents’ needs. Service requests are mostly attended to within a day — gotta add that Maria and Carlos are the sweetest service team ever! The apartment complex is clean and well-​equipped with amenities. Plus points for having sufficient guest parking lots, which are rare to find in DTLA.
Thank you Canvas for creating a home away from home for me!

Management is on point here. Carlos and Maria and are always quick to accommodate all of our needs. Joseph, Bill, and Steven, you guys made canvas a much better place to call home, after 3 years, it’s easy to say this is the best place to live in DTLA.

There’s no question that Canvas is one of the best apartment complexes in DTLA. Not only are the management and staff responsive, but the units are quite nice and the grounds are very well maintained. Parking is simple for both tenants and guests alike. Pets are allowed as well and there is a small gated area for dogs to run around. The community is friendly and there are monthly events such as brunches, food truck nights, etc. The rent is a little steep, but with all of the amazing amenities, centralized location, responsive staff, etc. it is well worth the price. I absolutely recommend Canvas to anyone!

Bill and Joseph are an amazing team. I’ve lived here for 3 years, all the units and facilities are beautiful and well priced. I’m so blessed to have found a home away from home here at canvas LA.

Bill the manager and his staff are awesome!
Every time I have a concern Bill’s team is always on top of it!

Let’s start this review by saying that I have signed four leases here and I’m about to sign my 5^th!
I LOVE CANVAS LA!!!
The people who work here are amazing. Like for real.
Bill, Joseph, Carlos, Maria, Steven (to name a few) go above and beyond to make sure everything is in order. They’re friendly, attentive and honestly, they make me feel so completely at home in my home.
Aside from our amenities which by the way are also amazing (rooftop grill, dope ass pool etc), WE HAVE PARKING! So. If your guest comes over, they will have a spot to park that’s not on the street. If you know the DTLA area, then you know that this is a rarity!
Anyway. I love this place. My apartment is amazing and I refuse to move.
:)

Clean, modern, friendly, efficient. This place is amazing. I finally signed my lease! Steven was very helpful in getting everything set up for me. This spot is in downtown but not in the dirty, busy and crazy part of downtown. The building was built in 2008 so it’s very new! Soooo many amazing amenities! Wifi is all over the complex so you can work and sit at the pool at the same. I can not wait to start my stay at the Canvas La!

Came to visit a friend and I really loved the place!!! Great pool and guest parking is a big plus :)

I was driving by the area the other day and the looks of this apartment caught my attention. I stopped by for a tour and was amazed by how nice this place is! It’s really artsy and has an overall modern feel. The guy that works there, Steven, was really helpful and taught me a lot of things about the surrounding area. He showed me a two-​story layout called the Scarlet and I really liked it. Clean and beautiful. When my lease ends in January I’m moving here!

This is a lovely building downtown in Los Angeles. The rooftop alone of the downtown skyline makes you fall in love with this building. The list of amenities are too long to list here but I can say that they are top notch and always kept clean. I’ve lived in many apartment communities but this by far is best. I always feel safe and I know if I have an issues Bill or Joseph are there to take care of it immediately.

I been living here for 3 years now. I can’t believe it has taken me this long to write a review.
The staff is great. Bill and Joseph are awesome. They do a really good job at staying on top of maintenance of our units and just the whole building in general. Bill (the property manager) has amazing customer service. Anything that I have ever needed he has done an AMAZING job at taking care of me.
The building has great amenities. Pool, screen room, rooftop, gym, lounge, business center, computer room, and social room. It’s pretty quiet during all hours of the day. The pool is never super crowded or any of the rooms really.
One of my favorite things about the building is the location. It’s not in the crazy part of downtown. Not a lot of people on the street late at night. I always feel safe when I walk my dog at night. They also have overnight security. He can be friendlier but what you going to do.
The reason I have stayed at Canvas this long is really because of the great job that management does at taking care of their tenants.

Short version:
INCREDIBLE management and staff. (Go see Megan or Joseph!!)
Beautiful layouts for the apartments and new/​modern appliances.
VERY CLEAN amenities and common areas.
Definitely Affordable prices especially compared to other properties in DTLA.
JUST GO VISIT! :)
I spent a lot of time visiting and researching properties to live in DTLA and after meeting Joseph and Megan and visiting this property my search was complete (thankfully).
This place is beautiful. Everything is new, and all the common areas are extremely clean and up-​kept by management. State of the art everything. There’s never any trash or nasty smells or anything that I’ve experienced after the 2 months of being here, and I doubt I’ll ever run into that issue.
Working with Joseph and Megan in the leasing office has been AMAZING! They genuinely care about you and making sure you are comfortable in your new home, but most importantly they’ve proven to always be looking after your best interests. This includes making sure to get you the best price for your rent.
Rent here is cheap considering your other options in DTLA, and it includes parking! It’s easy to get to from the freeways and avoids the messiness of driving through DTLA. It’s very conveniently located. Also, no homeless people wondering around anywhere near the property, which is a problem in ALL the other major complexes.
Joseph and Megan make sure to take care of your needs and maintenance requests urgently. I’ve never had to wait more than a day to have a maintenance request fixed. Carlos (maintenance manager) is on top of it and so is his incredible crew. Again, everyone is here to aim to please and they definitely do a fantastic job.
The rooms are all newly designed and the layouts give you many options to fit your budget. Seriously everything here is new and beautiful. If you want clean and high end appliances without being ripped off and overpaying, this place is for you.
All of the common areas are awesome. From the almost always completely empty gym (which has everything you need. I actually canceled my 24 hr fitness membership), to the business centers to BBQ areas and pool. This place is great.
The people who live here seem to be mostly working professionals with a mix of grad students. Everyone is respectful of noise and is pretty friendly. This isn’t a place to be obnoxious or trashy and you won’t find those types of people here. No shady people or uncomfortable vibes and never have I had to worry about a thing.
Overall, if you’re still reading this, just go and visit. Megan and Joseph will go above and beyond to make you feel right at home and you will not regret coming. Couldn’t be happier!
