Somerset Apartments

I’ve been here shy of a year now and it’s been great the units are very spacious with plenty of closet space. The hardwood floors give it a very elegant look and help keep the apartment clean. The staff (AJ & Elizabeth) are always helpful and kind when ever I’ve had concerns they have addressed them. I would recommend this place to everyone whether your single, have or planing for a family.

The landscaping is well maintained. Dog friendly. So far it has good management. Some Suggestions: using the existing resources and profit, maybe build a basketball court? Also, maybe allocate some money to improve security (installing security cameras or hire more people to patrol at night). :-)
I am not saying it is not safe to live here. I think everywhere can be not safe since its L.A. It will be nice to implement these things for the landlords and tenants’ benefits.
So far we are a happy tenant.

I’ve lived here for over a year now. As long as you maintain the apartment clean it will be stay clean. Ants are a bit of a problem and management can do something about it, that’s the reason for the four stars. I see many bad management reviews and it doesn’t do any justice to the awesome office people (AJ and lady that re-​addresses the question as u ask the question :))As long as you communicate and bring a matter to their attention in a polite and courteous manner, they will do their best to go above and beyond (keywords: polite, courteous), they are awesome.
I love the strictness Management bring to residents or else this place would be just like the HOOD! Parking can be tough sometimes from selfish residents that park outside on driveway instead of using their assigned garage. Then you have those selfish residents that leave their cars parked on driveway for weeks without moving. Management should do something about that.
Parking lights can benefit from new bulbs. Maybe lighting issue hasn’t been replaced because no one has brought it up to their attention. Or because management are not here at night time to notice the bad lighting.
Pool should have bigger sign «ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES NOT PERMITTED». It’s very uncomfortable when my boys are having a nice swim an there’s the inconsiderate resident having drinks as if he was at the MGM Grand.
I like it when in the morning I leave to work and see Maintenance crew «Maintain» the property, from sweeping to blowing-​off leaves to fixing piping.
BY THE WAY THEY DO AN AWESOME JOB! And never see them sitting down catching flies.
Overall great experience, I highly recommend it, if ur dirty, if u like to drink poolside as if u were in Vegas and if u have a lot of drama this place is not for you!!!
Nice, quiet, peaceful, considerate residents are always welcomed. :)

I lived here for one year, if not changing job, I would still live here. Actually I loved the apartment at the first time when I saw it. It’s very clean and new, just like a new apt. I told them I preferred the second floor when I moved in, then I almost forgot this until one day AJ, one of the office people, called me, he said they had one bedroom available on the second floor, if I’d like to change he could help me prepare the papers, so I moved into a new one easily. He is helpful. They are really nice whenever I call them, or whatever problem I have, they are all happy to help. They even have security to check around at night which is very considerable. I’m so lucky I found it on zillow!

I’ve been living here for almost 3 years. The first two were pleasant but this past has been more difficult. There’s a lot of local high school kids that hang out and loiter on the property and the management here does little to nothing about it. We used to enjoy the nice outdoor patio barbeque area a few feet from our door but unfortunately that is now where about a dozen stoners hang out and smoke weed. Complaints fall on deaf ears here, it’s like they don’t even care. I dont understand how a business can NOT CARE about TRESPASSERS loitering on their private property. I will be happy when our lease is over.

So I’ve lived here for a few months and love it! I read some of the reviews and I’m completely confused about what’s going on… The pool area stays open till 10pm which is awesome. The laundry room also stays open till 10pm. The management staff is very patient and friendly. Even if you get there 2 min before they close they will stay there longer to make sure they answer all of your questions (and I have no problem understanding anyone in the office). I had an issue in my apartment regarding the heating and within 15 min someone came by to fix it and then they made sure that I didn’t have any other problems or questions. They get back to me really quick with all of my questions. I love the fact that I have a garage, pool, gym, clean laundry room, security, and a dog run. It’s really nice place to live.

I’ve never written a review, but I just had to warn others from making the same mistake as my husband and I did. These apartments seemed wonderful at first with the their hardwood floors, nicely painted walls, amenities and AC in the unit, but then we realized we signed a contract to live in a flea and roach motel. The first night after moving all of our things in we realized that the apartment was crawling with roaches of every size and variety. It took them weeks to take care of it, so we had to stay at my parents. It was that bad. For 7 mo. after that we had to call them to do treatments and sprays. Then every summer the grounds get infested with fleas. We have had to deal with several infestations, and we don’t even have pets! It doesn’t matter what you do inside because you keep tracking them in from outside and the office does nothing about it. On top of that, as others have said, you have to pay for all utilities, the gym and pool have crappy hours, and they raise the rent on you every year.

so we lived here for about two years because of its proximity to downtown. Well big big big mistake. We moved out a year ago and when the keys were returned we asked for a walk through but they guy who works the desk was alone and he said it wasn’t necessary. BIG MISTAKE!!!
Fast forward a year later, our deposit was never returned and we mysteriously started getting calls from an out of state number. We were sent to collections, without notifications!, for an unpaid water bill and $ 700 worth of repairs!!!
Beware it’s not the greatest. The apartments are lovely but management is worse than an over protective parent. Take your money elsewhere.

Living here is like being in jail you do something wrong and the next day you have a letter at your door telling you, you have to get out really?! If I’m going to pay 1500 for a little ass apt believe I’m going to do what I want .not worth it ! You also have to pay for the trash WTF!

These apartments are seemingly nice. The landscaping is kept up weekly. There are a few great amenities like gym and pool.
On the flip side of all that the rent is sky high and the owners don’t cover any utilities, which is usually water and sewage. Also the great amenities have nonconducive hours. The pool gets locked by 6pm and is only open during summer which is when it stays light out later. The gym is only open from 9a-​10p which is ok if you’re home early from work or school but I have two jobs and can’t use it at all. Also the location is smack in the middle of a bunch of junior and senior high schools and the kids like to hang out on the property sitting at our picnic areas as if it were public property. And they smoke pot and make noise. They get shooed away but keep returning. Supposedly we can’t do much else about it. And then there is the management. They’re lazy and unintelligent. Every newsletter sent out to the tenants is grammatically incorrect with spelling errors all over. It’s hard to accept that people who can’t even spell are in charge of the property you rent. Every time there is an issue (which there is alot of) they act annoyed and barely deal with it. If you are looking to rent make sure you can accept all the rules and that you go thru an inspection/​walk-​thru with someone from the management team. Indicate any and all scratches, cracks, etc because when you leave they will try to keep your deposit. We will probably not stay after our lease is up as they also keep raising the rent for no real reason, just because they can.
