The Lorenzo

Pretty good

Great amenities and commute options, expensive and restrictive with furnishing.

When I tell you — record everything the second you walk into The Lorenzo leasing office, I mean it. The leasing management is absolutely pathetic. They lie, delay, and go back on their word constantly. Shae, in particular, has been incredibly unreliable and dismissive. You’ll find yourself chasing them for weeks over simple requests like lease updates, parking, or roommate changes — and even then, they often give you conflicting information.

To make it worse, their behavior changes depending on who you are. I’ve personally felt discriminated against and spoken to in ways that were completely unprofessional and disrespectful.

But here’s the thing — the apartments themselves are beautiful. The amenities are great, and the space has real potential. That’s what draws most people in.

However, don’t let the looks fool you. The management ruins the entire experience. So if you do choose to live here, protect yourself:
➡️ Get everything in writing
➡️ Record every conversation
➡️ Don’t trust anything they “promise” verbally

Living here is not the problem — dealing with the people who run it is.

It’s great living at the Lorenzo

PROS:

Convenience: They have a shuttle service to USC campus and to Ralph's (grocery store). The apartments are furnished (bed, study table, chair, dining table, chair, sofa, armchair, coffee table, TV) so you don't have to worry about buying and moving furniture. That said, I would recommend buying an ergonomic desk chair.

DPS Patrol zone: The Lorenzo is within the DPS Patrol zone so you get free Lyfts from USC.

Quick Response: So far I've received very quick responses to service requests.

CONS:

Amenities are currently closed due to covid.

It is a hassle to have a smart home here because the network is open (there is probably a way to work around this)

Their building lobbies are a little dated, but I was able to transform my apartment to my taste.

There are false fire alarms at odd times once every 2 months, on average.

Good and convenient if you want to live near campus. The metro is behind the building, and there's a shuttle that goes from the apartment to the school. It's also within the DPS patrol area, and you can get a free Lyft after 7 during the weekdays. The building is decent, and there are a lot of amenities.
