Positive Experience
by chuckyboy at Citysearch
I lived at the Exoctic Isle in Paramount. Great manager, they were always available when I needed them. I did have an issue with a noisy neighbor but managment was able to keep them quiet. Parking is tough sometimes but not bad enough to make a huge difference. The apatments were huge!
- Pros: Friendly Manager, Great Location, Quick Maintenance
- Cons: Parking, Noisy Neighbors

L'Abri Apartments...Horrible Managers
by ashleynicole51886 at Citysearch
I moved into this apartment and lived there for almost a year. During that year my manager acted like she was our friend but little did we know she was telling EVERYONE our personal business. Not only was she telling people about how our house looked inside but how no one should trust us, how we stole things from her apartment, how we made threats to slash other residents tires... etc... all which are not true. This lady, Raihana Arellano, was always at our house up in our business so that she could gossip it all away. While she was "befriending" me and my husband she was telling us stories about other residents as well. Tons and tons of personal information being thrown out to make it public knowledge.. The bottom line is if you are going to move in there you will have your business thrown around, she has nothing better to do all day, you will pay sooo much for a tiny apartment, you will have a huge ant problem that wont be fixed because the manager has the same problem, an air conditioner that wont work and will be fixed "next week" but a YEAR later "next week" still didnt come. be cautious!!!! All other apartments on the street are much better and cost way less!!!
- Pros: Small apartment community with wonderful neighbors
- Cons: Horrible slandering manager that will gossip your life away

Say good-bye to your security deposit
by lili567 at Citysearch
I left a security deposit for an apartment on Imerial Hwy in Downey, a week later, to my surprise, I got a pink-slip at work (I'm a teacher) and was not able to move in. I never signed a contract and didn't even have a move-in date. The land-lady said that I would get my security back but not the $25 for my credit-check. I said that was fine but guess what, I have been calling L'Abri in Downey and the man actually told me "I don't believe she said that, you can't get your money back simply because you changed your mind." Its a horrible, time consuming experience. Don't do it.
- Cons: will not return your security deposit
