the neighborhoods are good, just the usual unhoused people but this is near all sorts of restaurants and stuff. the bldg is okay, not maintained that well, windows are never cleaned, full of spiders and webs. the problem is the manager. for my 5 years this manager for the last 2 years is AWFUL!! there is no management, meaning she lets people into your apartment without approval which is against the housing authority. she is supposed to get your authorization FIRST to let workers or people into... your apartment. she DOES NOT communicate anything at all. the rent increase happened, she had the notices but NEVER GAVE THEM TO TENANTS and then when they paid rent she returned all of their checks saying we didn't pay the right amount. and then gave the notices, which were dated 2 months prior. SHE HAD THE NOTICES FOR 2 MONTHS AND NEVER GAVE THEM TO THE TENANTS. she absolutely does not care about tenants at all. the previous manager was soooooooooo good. she was strict by the housing authority rules and laws but she was kind and fair and she would always call you to ask permission to come into your apt if there was work that had to be done, even if you gave a work order, she would email you to let you know that she received it and will update you. this manager rents to her friends and lets them rent out the apartments for airbnb, they pay her. tenants are disruptive and noisy and she could care less as long as no one is bothering her. she's mean and nasty. when you are paying high rents you want the management to at least be professional and respectful. please beware of renting here.

Lived there for more than 5 years and unfortunately seen this place completely go downhill.
Apartment building is really old, things constantly fall apart and unfortunately it's inherently inhabited with cockroaches no matter how much times exterminator came they would come back, probably live inside the walls and travel through apartments.
Walls are EXTREMELY thin. You will hear every sound neighbor makes, but worst if you encounter neighbors who are constantly having parties during the night... no one will do anything about it. Management does not care and won't involve themselves, police will come and go because they can't enforce anything.
Mail gets stolen all the time. Even packages left by the door got stolen.
Pool is under cover and shaded no one uses it because it's impractical and useless. Their so called gym has 2 outdated machines. Consider zero amenities. The area became horrific after Covid, encampments are right outside your door steps. Even walking dog is unsafe. Helicopters constantly hovering so get used to noise from that too. There's been multiple events when I lived there including break in inside apartment which no one caught the culprit.
Laundry room is constantly occupied, 5 times out of 10 I would not be able to find a free washer.
The worst apartment building I lived and only stayed because of rent control and inheriting very cheap price, would never pay what they are charging now for that run down place.

Pros: close by Runyon canyon, you can walk there, Ralph's is pretty close by, parking lot was fine and parking spot came for free with the apartment. And previous managers were pretty nice. Current one is the worst.

The current manager is horrible!!!! Previous manager Marcy was a sweetheart and everything was fixed asap! The current manager couldn’t even get the plumber to come down when the toilet got clogged up, claiming that the plumber was out of town… I had to wait for 3 days to get it fixed, which is insane!!! As far as I’m aware there’re plenty of plumbing companies in LA. Another maintenance request took 2 weeks to complete and only after a follow up and the maintenance made the issue even worse... than before… horrible! also, the building is 40 years old, so everything always gets broken down here and there but the manager and the maintenance guy try to always blame the tenant for the issues. Ridiculous! If you want to make your living a total hell then move here. P.s. the rent is not cheap either, so it’s not like you’re getting what you paid for. Read More

Horrible management. Noisy & thin walls. Not understanding about rent

I had a very good experience living at the Alexio in a 2br/2ba unit. The unit and amenities were well-maintained. The few times we had some kind of maintenance issue, it was quickly resolved. Marcy is a personable and attentive property manager. Wouldn't be leaving except had to downgrade due to partial job loss! Will miss this place, and I'd recommend it.
