AvalonBay

I don’t like the fact that the laundry isn’t included in the rent and I have to pay for it everytime I need to do my laundry.

Avoid at all costs - do not move into any Avalon community. They are poorly managed, do not provide a clean residence, and try charging residents for every cent despite not meeting their own standards. Horrible experience.

Great location.

Class A+ in Santa Monica

This a decent apartment complex with some nice amenities. Some maintenance and complex issues over the past couple years of living here, but it is in a nice area with bus access.

Avalon Towson Review

No pest problems ever, good and very friendly management, booking and arrival very easy.

Apartment is excellent and amenities are great - always clean, almost always empty (gym, pool, etc.); a little higher priced but the conveniences make it feel fair.

Some of the best perks are: Lafayette bus station right next door with frequent buses to Boulder (two lines go directly to the law school) and Denver; walkable to downtown Lafayette; and right next to an entrance onto Coal Creek trail!

Love Avalon

It’s a great apt and brand new. Just sad they won’t necessarily lock in my rate for two more years and it feels like you’re interacting with a computer sometimes.

Love living in NoMa

1 block from the beach, class A apartment, rooftop pool, gym, walking distance to restaurants and shopping in Santa Monica.

I have been living in this complex for over 2 years. Everything I need is walking distance. I am close to my favorite restaurants, lovely walks, Runyon Canyon hike, and about 30 mins driving to any part of the city.

Absolutely love Avalon merrick park. It’s very quiet and peaceful. A few undergrad students live here but it’s mostly families and young professionals. If you have a maintenance problem they come within 24 hours. Everyone is super friendly and respectful.

Ava is an ok apartment. The apartment itself is very nice and the amenities are good, but the security is lacking and the area itself isn’t very nice. The new management is working hard to improve but for right now it has a lot of room to get better.
