A Combination of City Living + Nature

Stephan and Rosemary are quite helpful and always responsive to address any issue or repair needs. They are also helpful with important deliveries, often holding them for us and even personally delivering to our apartment. They always made sure that our needs were met. They also gave us great advice, as they have lived in the area for a long time and are super friendly. Javier and the maintenance crew are also quite helpful and friendly. Repairs done quickly and effectively. The place is within walking distance of many restaurants and shops, but what we enjoyed most was the park next door. There are tennis courts, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, and sports leagues for children. It is minutes away from the 405 and UCLA. Only 4 miles from the beach. In addition to assigned parking within the garage, street parking for guests is available as well as a small parking lot a short distance away. The grounds are kept nicely with flowering shrubs and white roses. The pool area is great with views of a greenbelt/ravine and barbecue area. While we enjoyed these amenities, what truly made this a great place to live was the support of Stephan and Rosemary and the friendships we made with our neighbors. I highly recommend renting here. read less

We raised our kids here. It’s a perfect location near the park and walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, the post office–everything you need! The pool is adjacent to an area of trees and wildflowers. You can forget you are in the city. Requests for repairs are responded to immediately. The units have lots of closet space, wood floors, well-lit underground parking, secure front entry and more. We loved making this place our home. read less

The building is full of charm and the management takes pride in maintaining the property and creating a pleasant community for everyone to live in. The building is situated around a long open courtyard that is filled with lush plants, greenery, and a white rose garden. At the end of the building there is a pool area with a grassy lawn that overlooks a lush greenbelt and small canyon full of towering sycamore trees, wildflowers, and sprawling vines. In the daytime butterflies fill the canyon, and at night it’s not uncommon to hear owls hooting from the trees–you might even spot a coyote roaming from time to time!

Aside from the beautiful setting, the manager of the building, Stephan, is one of a kind. He is extremely friendly and accommodating to all of his tenants. The building and common areas are proactively maintained by the super Javier, who responds to maintenance requests almost immediately and performs quality repairs/upgrades and never take shortcuts. Here are some of the upgrades done to my unit during my tenancy, some of which were done without me even needing to request them:
* Balcony concrete repoured/reinforced
* Balcony railing repainted
* Shower regrouted
* Shower faucet hardware replaced
* Window blinds replaced

When I originally leased my unit, I had assumed it would come with the refrigerator that I had seen in the unit when touring it. The fridge had in fact belonged to the prior tenant and wasn’t meant to be included in the unit. After some disappointment on my part regarding this confusion, Stephan took the high road by purchasing the fridge from the prior tenant and leaving it in the unit for me when I moved in. You couldn’t ask for a better landlord and the building is a true gem nestled in lush nature that is rare for LA apartment living. The prime, walkable Brentwood location doesn’t hurt either! My only reason for moving out was b/c I purchased a house with my fiancee. read less

I loved this place. It is located in the very heart of the Brentwood village, in walking distance to restaurants, boutiques, the Sunday Market, and the beautiful residential area, running distance from the ocean, next door to the recreation park with tennis courts and basketball facility.. Rosemarie, Stephan and Javier are all great people and they take care of all fixing issues. The weather, the beauty of this area, the perfect location of this building and the good hearts and care of the management team are the key to a very pleasant and decent living, in one of the most wanted parts of the West Side. You’ll be in good hands! read less

The apartments are beautifully remodeled with hardwood floors and a modern up to date kitchen that includes a microwave and dishwasher. It is a secured building with secured parking as well as a swimming pool. The landlords (Rosemary and Stephan) are amazing and are always available. There is on-site maintenance and there is never an issue if you need something fixed immediately. It is conveniently located next to the Barrington Park and courtyards and within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. Definitely a great place to live! read less

The management provides excellent service. The property manager, Stephan, is friendly, kind, and responds to requests in a timely manner. Whenever we had issues, it was always resolved within a matter of 1-2 days. They do a great job of keeping up the cleanliness of the building and common areas. The units towards the back of the building feel like you’ve escaped the busyness of the city. The residents are friendly as well. Overall wonderful experience living here. read less

The manager, Stephan is ALWAYS available and responds quickly to emails and texts/calls. There is also Javier who works at the complex full time to quickly handle maintenance and any other issues that arise. The complex is in a very safe location (there was never any issue of crime the entire time I was there). It is walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores, the post office and next door to tennis courts and a park. All in all, this is an amazing place to live and would definitely recommend it! read less

The location is great. It’s right next to several parks, and a short walk away from many restaurants and shops. The area is great for going on runs, hikes, and being outside in general. The apartment complex is very peaceful and quiet. There are a lot of families living here and also young working professionals / med school students, but there are never any loud events, or parties that cause disturbances. The management goes above and beyond to maintain the place, make improvements, and make it a nice place to live in general. They keep potted plants everywhere on the inside of the complex which makes it feel like you’re living in a garden. And they cleaned our apartment really thoroughly before we moved in. Another big plus about the place is the gas stove, gas heater which works great, dishwasher, and big kitchen. Cons: There’s no central AC, only window units. The parking lot is tight. Light pollution through the windows, improvements mean lots of maintenance happening. read less

The building from the outside does not do it justice and once you walk into the courtyard it’s evident that this is an exceptional building! Stephan and Rosemary are always helpful! Every maintenance request has been filled within a timely manner. My husband and I had a baby two weeks after moving in and it’s a really great building for kids too. The pool area is beautiful. read less

When I need repairs done or have a question, he has been quick to respond and has resolved the problem quickly. He asks us questions and makes an effort to get to know us on a personal level. He has even gone out of his way to introduce my roommate and me to network within our field. We are so grateful to have him as our manager. read less

It is quiet, spacious with LOTS of closet space and light. Beautiful pool in the back yard and lovely walkway. Convenient to hiking trails, UCLA, shops, Post Office, restaurants and Starbucks. Fantastic managers who are very prompt on repairs and requests. We loved having the park next door with kids playground, tennis courts and large sports field. You will not find a better place for the price in Brentwood. read less

The hustle and bustle of Brentwood disappear as you enter the courtyard and it sold me right away on living here. After one year of calling ‘Brentwood by the Park’ home I am thrilled with my neighbors, the management, and how fast and efficiently maintenance requests are fixed in my apartment. I was able to view several units before moving in and they all offer a unique view and layout. I chose one with a view of Barrington avenue, but the best view is by the pool in back. With so many buildings to choose from in the neighborhood, this one stands out as a real home. I love living here! read less
