Oak Knoll

Very good location. The building is quiet and well managed.

Location location location. It’s going to be hard for me to leave this area eventually because I love how I can walk to Trader Joe’s, Target, and all the shops and restaurants I could ever need! Even Arclight is a close walk and Old Town is do-​able too. The neighborhood feels safe and quiet except for when kids are coming/​going from the schools on the next block. Mail/​packages are safe when left outside the door. Street parking is easy to find for guests. Never had any big issues here, and all small ones are quickly resolved by management/​maintenance. I like the built in storage in the bedroom and bathroom and the storage unit in the carport. The kitchen is tiny and the A/​C setup isn’t ideal, but you make it work for the price and location!

I was living there around 1 year. Reasonable price compare to any other apartments in that area. Management was not good as at all. Thin walls and you can hear fighting and sex sound from other side. ugh! North side of the apartment is senior apartment and 2 times a day, you have to tolerate truck sounds which come there to load and reload restaurant stuff.
Moreover, facilities are really old, they are not energy rated and consume a lot of energy. We had a lot of problems with cooling system cause it just could cool the living room and it could not cool the bedroom at all !!!

Had not yet moved to Pasadena, knowing nothing about California or Pasadena I stumbled upon this apartment randomly via the internet. When I finally arrived I couldn’t have been more happy. After a year here that opinion stands. This place is in a perfect location walking distance to everything you need. The area is friendly and quiet, neighbors are cool and the area is safe. Management is always available and quick to resolve any maintenance issues that may arise. This place is very affordable, and as I have become more familiar with Pasadena I still feel this is one of the best hidden gems.

I have a few needs out of apartments. Most don’t meet them at reasonable rents. But I found what I needed here and more. Gas barbecue grill, trash shoots, pool, jacuzzi, car port, responsive property manager and maintenance. But what I cherish the most is the peace and quiet. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, gyms, coffee shops, grocery and department stores.
