Review №1

One of my friends lived here and I absolutely enjoyed coming and visiting every single time! You feel like you are in your own little oasis in the middle of bustling LA. There are so many amenities that you can enjoy including an amazing pool area and gym. They also had a wonderful spot to gather with friends and enjoy your evening. If I ever move to LA this ia where I will be living 100%. If you are looking I highly recommend giving them a tour I just love this building so much!

Absolutely loved living here. Katie and Eric are really on top of everything. From the moment I went on my tour with Katie, up until I sadly had to move out they made sure I was taken care of. The maintenance is also very quick to respond. I also really loved my views and how easy it was to get around without a car in the area! Highly recommend this building!

I have lived here for 3 years now and the lofts are well designed, views are incredible, maintenance is great and front desk staff and management do their jobs well. If it was not for the new design plan for the lobby I would be inclined to give it 4 or 5 stars.When CIM managed this building it had a perfectly modern looking open design to the lobby. When Alliance Residential took over they made a lot of positive changes but made a mistake in the new design of the lobby implemented in June 2014:Ironically, money was spent on a look that has cheapened the appearance of the lobby, and on furniture, that is completely out of place. More specifically: the building is made of glass, steel, exposed concrete, high ceilings, and divided into open lofts -- all this typifies modern, minimal, and how everyone recognizes Sunset Vine Tower.By contrast, the current new furniture and new look is 70s style, cluttered, lowers the ceiling by lowering the ceiling lamps, uses the most displeasing combination of green with gold, brown and grey, has a cheap Vegas-style neon Sunset sign by the poolside, and has wallpapered the very walls that were supposed to be left as is. Even the new wall art looks cheap and out of place. And they have put it so many plants into the lobby, that you might think they are for sale.While these 70s looks (or whatever look they are going for - Old Hollywood?) may be appropriate for an older building in need of a retro-makeover, it looks very forced onto the modern Sunset Vine Tower, and clearly out of place.A majority of residents have complained about the new lobby look and management is aware of this. Hopefully someone will take action to return it to the modern aesthetic that worked best and provided the highest occupancy.We all appreciate the intention behind trying to change things up in the lobby, but the result did not work out, unfortunately.Why force an OLD HOLLYWOOD look into a NEW MODERN HOLLYWOOD building?

There are LLC companies such as Pelican Apartments and Hollywood Walk of Fame apartments that are subleasing these apartment units so be aware of lots of strangers coming in and out of these apartment units. (By the way which is against the City of Los Angeles leasing ordinance.) My fiance stayed there a month ago and there was a fire hazard which I just found out hasnt been addressed. (Overheating dryer.) Plus there were holes in the apartments ceiling, bedroom area and above the bathtub, which certainly could have been construed as spy cameras.

The good: the units are everything that you see in the pics online. One of a kind in LA. One the best apartments in the city if you are going strictly by the apartment itself. Floor to ceiling, all glass, panoramic view of the city with 13-17ft ceilings. Nice.The bad: everything else. This is a luxury apartment with the facade of full service - security/door man (same person), pool (shaded by the building so limited sunlight plus the Chipotle there vents its meat smoke into the area), gym (no one uses it - small), bbq (see: pool area), and two people in the management office (the biggest problem of all). The management really do not know or care about tenant experience. They only care about leasing out units and getting rent in on time. Nothing else. Asking them for assistance is a big chore to them. Do not expect things to get done except on their Mon-Fri 10-5pm schedule and only if the one maintenance person has time for you.There is no recognition of treating the tenant paying higher rent ($4000-10000 and up per month) with any extra respect.The appliances are dated and defective. The washer and dryer are the cheapest that money can buy and afford you half loads. The refrigerator in my unit I found out after a few weeks shuts itself off during the day (for hours) so that your items melt only to turn back on and re-cool and re-freeze. Extra dangerous. Ask your doctor what that can lead to... When I approached management about the fact that mine had shut off on a 96F Saturday and that I wanted assistance to repair the refrigerator and remove the rotten items I was told It is not an emergency, if the food is rotten you should remove it if you think it might stink. We have no staff until Monday.$4000 a month for that reaction to their defective appliance. No proactive management ideas (i.e. hiring a cleaning staff to come in, spending any extra funds) to ensure that the tenant is not put out by their defects. They are not authorized spend a dime so if your problem requires attention when no one is around, they have no solution for you.Note that the leasing agent does 100% of the work and tenant interface and the actual manager ignores you - they sit in the same office 7ft away from one another with no walls. I have brought issues in front of both of them and the manager just sat there silent playing Solitaire. Never spoke a word. In half a year I have never received any email or had one single word spoken to me by the current manager despite some serious complaints (maintenance staff came in while I was away for a week and cranked the a/c to maximum and left it on, complaints of possible carbon monoxide headaches). It was all left to the leasing agent to handle.Overall, it is just not worth the money. Go elsewhere. Buy a house maybe. It would be more honest if they abandoned the lobby and staff and just made it a non-managed luxury loft with no staff whatsoever. Would be much more honest and acceptable as you would not expect customer care. The fact that they have paid people to lull you into thinking that you will be taken care of is unnecessarily misleading.Almost forgot to mention the time that the front desk of this secured building sent a drunk and high guest to the wrong floor. This guest of another unit barged into my apartment at 1230am while I was sleeping, turned on the light and started yelling. It was terrifying. There is a protocol where guests must be allowed in by the resident but this time the person was just waived through and the guest named the wrong floor.Finally, there is something in the building that makes me nauseous, dizzy and ill. Cannot for the life of me figure out what it is but the symptoms only appear when I am in the garage or my unit. Becoming uninhabitable. One star. If I can was allowed to give zero I would.

Wonderful place, everything I could ever want. This futuristic building has a low impact on the environment, beautiful and, a great place to start a family. One catch, you need to be able to shell out $millions just to get a modest place here. Even if you Graduate from Medical, Law or, Graduate School finding the best of success in your career; the chances of making enough money to afford a place in Sunset Vine Tower are about the same as a homeless person. By the way you cant help but to encounter droves of homeless people all up and down Sunset and Vine, many of them angry former middle class individuals priced out of the market by the speculative activities of real estate moguls in residential properties. Whats needed is some strong regulations to curb the practice and, public housing projects every bit as good Sunset Vine Tower to house normal people. Such projects would be a great economic stimulus, create well paying jobs, do a great deal of public good and, cost far less than any of the law enforcement projects (including prisons) and imperialist wars by far. Read something by Nobel Prize Winning Economists like Paul Krugman or Joseph Stiglitz if you have any questions. Now if the idea of some Government intervention makes you really uncomfortable (this means you real estate mogul) as things dont get better for the less fortunate, the day may come very soon when you will be crying for it when the huddled masses (way tougher than me) are in a state of rebellion ready to throw you head first off the top of your lovely tower. Just remember the old Hollywood saying be nice to the people on the way up, youll certainly meet them on the way down!
