I’ve been meaning to leave this review for a while and finally got around to it!

I'm a resident of 3 years and it is with great pleasure that I write this review to recognize Kim for her outstanding work as our Community Manager here at Pasadena Park Place. She consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism, dedication, and care in every aspect of her role. Her ability to foster a positive and inclusive environment has made a significant impact on me and our community overall!

The... property has improved so much over the past year through management and new additions like vending machines, an Amazon locker, structured parking, enhanced building security, more timely and reliable maintenance service, better organized and more enjoyable community events, and of course the freshly painted hallways... just to name a few. All of this has really made a difference in the overall living experience, compared to the years before, and I’ve even recently referred both family and friends to live here.

Kim has played a major role in shaping PPP into what it is today, and that’s exactly why this recognition is so well deserved! Read More

This is a good apartment complex. Its clean . It’s quiet (most of the times) and efficient. I say most times because the fire alarm goes off WAY TOO MUCH HERE. Like a commentator mentioned below there was a period where it was almost daily for a week or two. Especially at night , and it would take quite some time before it was turned off. Besides that, the place is great. Management is very attentive and nice. The cute maintenance guy is very good at his job and completes the work orders in a ... very professional and swift manner, and the cleaning lady is also very awesome. I dont have the desire to move at all. Im perfectly content here Read More

PPP is my favorite apartment that I've ever lived in! And the reason: the people: Diamond, Kim, and Eli. Everyone is incredibly helpful, attentive, and caring; I love it. (And for those people who mentioned the closeness to the 110, it's true, but the windows are double-paned; it's the literal quietest place I've ever lived.) The location is great: South Pas, Highland Park, Alhambra, hiking, shopping, all of it 2 minutes away. I may never leave.

Where to start? It will be a long review, but worth it. But if you don’t want to read all of it, just know that it is not worth the price here. Firstly, unlike the majority of the other 5 star reviews, I actually lived here for over a year.
IF you have any respiratory conditions, children, pregnant, or simply do not want to be exposed to second-hand smoke, do not live here. For the majority of the time, my apartment’s air quality (AQI) was between 300-500. Look up an AQI chart, under 50 is... normal. Had to buy a $500 air purifier just to live in my apartment. Management just told me to deal with it because the lease doesn’t say it is non-smoking. Even told them it was affecting my asthma. But guess when they did care? When they got a lovely review about it. The previous property manager even showed up next to my car when I got home from work. There are new office staff that I have nothing to say about.
Next is the fire alarms. Not sure if this is due to the smoking, but I think that they went off almost daily. There were even some weeks where they would be constantly going off throughout the night. I don’t have a problem with them going off every so often, but some days they go off throughout the day and night.
Love animals? Me too, a shame that all the dogs pee in the elevator (take a wiff). Think of taking the stairs? Hohoho some days there are nice chocolates left from dogs that no one cleans up. Very few people clean up after their animals.
A positive is that they finally have guest parking.
My ceiling leaked multiple times throughout my time here. It was repaired the first time and I was left with a large stain on my ceiling for many months. Had another leak that was repaired. They repaired it incorrectly, rescheduled, and then never showed up. There was also an occasion that the maintenance person entered my apartment without my permission for a non-emergency repair.
Lots and lots of cockroaches, I don’t mind a few every now and then but I literally had like 4 a day for months. I’m a pretty clean person. I moved, and not a single cockroach for months.
I am sure other people had a better experience, but in my opinion it is definitely not worth the rent amount.

lots of cockroaches, dogs poop and pee in elevators and stairs, if you love second hand smoke you'll love it here. My apartment's air quality was terrible for about 5-6 months and was told to deal with it
