Oak Park

Lived here with my wife for 2 years. The management has been nothing but good to me. There were two instances that the ladies in the office went above and beyond. Once, Mirna was kind enough to come open up my apartment when I had forgotten my keys, note that this was 2am and she had clearly been out on the town. Another time Denise chased my car down the street on foot to tell me that I had dropped my lunch! The residents in the apartment itself are also very kind, with a diverse group of people. Everyone says hello to each other and looks at for one another. I wouldn't have moved if I didn

There is construction it is loud and alot of people are invading my living space

9yr resident here. I'm preparing to move out ONLY because work's relocating me somewhere else in socal. Seriously, they're dragging me kicking and screaming out of here.

This was my first apartment after moving out of my parents' place back in 2011, so I've gone through that whole process of being a naive, fresh-out-of-college grad to status as a full fledged veteran resident right here at Oak Park. For that, this place will always occupy a soft spot in my heart.

Living somewhere for nearly an entire decade, things will fall into a state of disrepair over time, just by

I lived there for about a year and a half. The Monrovia area is amazing and Oak Park is a very good apartment complex. We had very few issues with our apartment and the issues we did have the staff fixed everything right away. Rent did go up every year but that was unsurprising because its owners by a large company not like renting a person's back house. The oak park common spaces were always very well maintained. It's a fairly quiet complex which is nice.

My apartments plumbing would back up constantly. I lived here 2 years they would not fix it.. They gave me a plunger and said that's the way it is use this. I left the place spotless. And they still kept my cleaning deposit and even charged me for painting which was supposed to be on their dime. Like I said I think their management is one of the worst around. Very very bad complex.

The apartment is full of Mold, bed bugs, and structural damage. The Office manager lies, and attempts to cover things up. Check the reviews on yelp. They left my apartment with holes in the wall and ceiling and black mold exposed for 6 weeks! They demanded rent, and my apartment wall still looks like this months later.

This was a great place to live, with access to Monrovia DT as easily as it can get. If you want to live near Monrovia Downtown, go for it!
For those who look into the older reviews, yes- there would have been issues faced by other residents earlier, but the management has changed and are doing their best!
I have lived in this apartment/complex for 3+ years and I have been getting prompt responses when I needed any maintenance. I have seen the folks at the office change over the course of my time there and Mirna & her team were and are much professional and better than the previous office

Living here was a true nightmare come to life. Everything was generally fine until the new building manager, Mirna, came. The apartment itself has some big problems. I could never use my oven because the fire alarms are very easily triggered. Once the whole building alarms went off when I was making toast. I didn't burn the toast, they're just that sensitive. At least once a week the whole building is woken up by fire alarms and the fire department has to come shut them off. If there's ever a problem the maintenance guy, Jeffery, is very quick to help but Mirna refuses to do anything

If you want to be near restaurants, parks,shopping, movie theatres and hiking then Oak Park is a place you want to stay and the ideal location you want to call home. Oak Park is located in the heart of beautiful old town Monrovia where the 210 and 605 meet. It's conveniently located near the gold line and if you use the app lift in town, enter promo code "Go Monrovia"and enjoy .50 transportation rides.

The amenities at Oak Park include bbq grills, beautiful courtyard overlooking the mountains, a laundry room, 24 hour fitness room , and two modern interior designed recreation rooms

We love living in Oak Park Apartments! My husband and I moved in mid last year and have really enjoyed getting to know the management, the neighbors and the location.

Mirna and Denise in the office are just lovely and have been so accommodating during our move in process. There was a mistake made at the very beginning as we were shown a different floor plan for our apartment when we toured the building (by a temp employee). Mirna didn't hesitate in installing a door for us upon moving in, so that the floor plan matched the one we had originally been shown! We were stoked!
They were also

Update: 3/19/2019

I finally moved out from this cigarette smoking, bed bug and beetle infested apartment. I was forced to move out since we never came to a solution of getting rid of the cigarette smoke in my apartment. I literally experienced anxiety every time I walked into my apartment. It was inhabitable. When I asked to break my lease as previously offered by Brenda Torres at Corp it was denied. They kept giving me the run around and said I couldn't break the lease unless I had a doctors note. I got the drs note, But here's the real kicker, when the manager (Mirna Leon) called

Review update: I am sad to say this building has really changed a lot in the past year, specifically with the new manager- Mirna. I have lived here for 3 years and always loved this place because it felt like a community. Since she has started I have seen a change in the dynamic here, going from peaceful to stressful. She is not friendly, often on her phone when you pass the office and unprofessional with her communication of things going on at the property.

With that being said, I had originally still planned to renew my lease this spring in hopes that these issues would resolve or we would

Update: this place has (literally) gone down hill. Like it's sinking into the foundation. The roof is leaking, all of the wood is rotting,and the building is actually sinking into the 1st floor. One day we heard someone waking on the roof and then they stapled a tarp over our balcony we found out a few weeks later that it's not safe to walk on our balcony because of the recent rains and water damage. It's been 4 or 5 weeks and the tarp is still here covering our windows.

We went to the leasing office to renew our lease for our 4th year and they told us there's going to be

I recently moved into the North Bldg at Oak Park Apartments in Monrovia and I've had a great experience so far. The management and maintenance team is really responsive and very helpful. Myrna, the manager made my move-In process as smooth as it could possibly be (my unit had a unique situation) but she worked it all out for me.
The maintenance guy (I think he's name is Jeffrey) is awesome and takes care of any issues or concerns right away.

The only thing I don't like about the place is the thin walls. You can hear everything, your neighbors' conversations, snoring, you

I wanted to update my review. I been here since 2014 and was really happy. But for the last year there's been so many people who moved that smoke. Now it's affecting my health, my wife's and most importantly we fear for our daughters health. Our bathroom smells like an ash tray. There's times when I walk in that you literally feel dizzy. This is no way to live. Management seems to want to help but it's not getting better. I don't care what you do in your own space, but my bathroom should not smell like a car exhaust. My family has even recommended we seek legal advice

When I first moved in my toilet backed up and human waste from the second and third floor poured out of my toilet and flowed through my hallway and onto my bedroom carpet causing a horrible stench for days. I was forced to sleep on my couch since my carpet below my bed smelled like sewage. I notified staff and they took about 5 days to have it cleaned. Approximately 4 days later my toilet backed up again and spilled sewage from the above floors all over my floor again. Human waste from the above floors all over my floors and my carpet. Three days went by and they had the carpet cleaned instead

So it's been a month since I moved out and just received my deposit in the mail. They cut me a check for HALF of the original deposit! I left that apartment cleaner than how I found it...especially the appliances. The manager even admitted on checkout that they weren't even going to "upgrade" the apartment and just re-rent it because of how great condition it was. So how does that equal losing half my deposit?!

I've lived in multiple complexes and have always received the deposit back in full because of how clean I keep my living space.

Didn't think my opinion

Let me start by saying that my review is purely for the initial move-in process as a new resident...

On that note: I moved from across the country and in a hurry. Moving alone isn't new for me, but it was my first time moving from coast-to-coast. I stayed in AirBnb's until I found a place to call home: Oak Park.

It has been 48 hours and with brand new management, things have been slightly hectic and chaotic in terms of the administrative aspects of leasing and moving into a new apartment community. On top of this, the personal stress of moving to a new state was a lot to juggle. But

I just moved here about a week ago, and so far, every experience I've had has been beyond what I could ever expect!

My biggest priority when searching for a home was safety, and this place is the most secured apartment building I've ever came across! Every entrance to public areas are locked, and there are cameras on the premises.

The apartments themselves are beautiful and clean! The courtyard has big beautiful well kept trees and green grass, and almost everyone owns a dog! Not to mention it's located right in the hub of Oldtown Monrovia!

The staff here are hospitable and

When I moved into my apartment the rent was a little high but manageable - I lived there for 5 years and the rent went up every single year. I like the apartment until I began to notice that the apartment was not worth the yearly increase in rent. The apartments are simply too small with paper thin walls.

BEDBUGS!

My parents have lived in this property for 14 years. Last year they got bedbugs. They are 80 years old. They had not purchased and new furniture, or traveled. They are too old and frail to do so. 

They informed the front office that they think they have them. It took 3-4 months before management sent out an exterminator.  During this time I had called adult protective services and got them a social worker/advocate. That is the only reason management took them seriously and sent out an exterminator. As it turned out they had the bedbugs as well as 6 other apartments in the building

I've lived here for a little less than a year. The location is right next to Old Town Monrovia, so there a lot of great options that are a short walk away. There are occasionally social events like movie showings. There are a lot of friendly people, often couples or families.

I haven't had any of the roach problems reported in some other reviews. Last time I checked, the website listed central AC, but you'll mostly be using a wall unit for heating and cooling. I can't really comment about what happens after you move out, but I haven't noticed any unexpected charges

Management is super awesome. Have yet to move in but I can't wait to officially move in. They make you feel right at home
