The Alamitos

"Do not live here. Most tenants I’ve spoken to have had leaks issues. Ours got so bad they had to rip a hole in our bathroom ceiling; exposing us to a large amount of black mold. Not even a discussion was had to inform us that there would be construction. They did not even tell us there was black mold after doing this; we walked into our apartment and there was a hole in the ceiling. It was in between the units, meaning it’s a structural problem and not just our unit. They told us it was taken care of when I saw they only reached areas that were reachable t from the hole they created. So, they did not get all of the mold, so it could spread further. You can even see in parts of the parking structure that there is black mold. This building should be reported to the city and shut down for the health and safety of its tenants. Renee, the maintenance man, attempted to enter our apartment without notice or even a work order in. Meaning he’s entering units when he thinks people are not home. Imagine sitting in your living room and a random man decides to enter unit. The trash chutes for the last two months of us living there were consistently being clogged; to the point where it was backed up to the 7th floor. That included having 3 guest parking spots serving as locations for the other excess trash to sit in. Leading to roaches. The elevators were consistently not working. To the point, where a handicapped person had to have strangers carry them to their unit on a higher floor. Do NOT live here. You can experience an actual luxury apartment community for the same price without all the hazards and safety issues presented by their staff. Who are more interested in the numbers than your well being."

"Please - for your benefit - NEVER LIVE HERE. If you see a positive review, it's fake. Management will extort money out of you on a monthly basis. Rent is *$2,315*, yet I am forced to pay almost *$2,700* a month, even though I separately pay for all electric and gas. If you lose your parking access (for which they only give 1 for a family of 2), it's $150 to replace. The hallways are disgusting and never cleaned. The carpets haven't been cleaned since the property was built and are covered in stains and dirt. The stairways stink with the smell of urine. Management never answers the phone and maintenance requests take weeks to complete. Management is also incredibly rude if you come to them with a complaint. We had trash stocked up in our hallways and garage for over 6 weeks, and we essentially lived at the dump, with flies everywhere and a stench that still hasn't left the hallways. The elevators are always down. The security of the property is abysmal - I often have vagrants at my patio who easily make it into the building and try to steal my property. They have no respect for their tenants and only want to extort as much money out of the building as possible. They keep making the excuse that they are "new management" (They've owned the building for over 5 years). I would never recommend anyone living here, not even my worst enemy. For your own sake, never tour, never sign with them. It will be one of the worst mistakes of your life and you will lose a year moving into a place that makes you miserable."

"Dear Harbor Group Management, I wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for the outstanding service I received from one of your leasing specialists, Cecilia Morales. I recently had the pleasure of working with her during my search for a new unit in The Alamitos, and her exceptional assistance made my transition into the building an absolute delight. From the very first interaction, Cecilia Morales went above and beyond to make the leasing process smooth and hassle-free. Her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication truly set her apart. She patiently walked me through every step of the leasing procedure, ensuring that I fully understood all the details and requirements. Her attention to detail and willingness to answer my numerous questions was truly remarkable. Cecilia Morales was not only knowledgeable but also showed a genuine interest in ensuring that I found the perfect unit to suit my needs. Her warm and welcoming demeanor put me at ease and made me feel like a valued member of the The Alamitos community even before I moved in. It was evident that she takes immense pride in her work and cares deeply about the residents' satisfaction. I believe that Cecilia Morales is a valuable asset to your team, and I want to commend her for her exceptional service. Her dedication and commitment to her role should be celebrated, and I am certain that her positive attitude and professionalism contribute significantly to the excellent reputation of Harbor Group Management Group. I am now happily settled in my new unit at The Alamitos and I couldn't be more pleased with my decision. Thanks to Cecilia Morales the process was not only efficient but also enjoyable. I look forward to being a part of the The Alamitos community and am grateful to Harbor Group Management for having such a remarkable team. Once again, thank you for the outstanding service provided by Cecilia Morales. I will not hesitate to recommend The Alamitos to friends and colleagues based on my exceptional experience. Wishing you continued success and excellence in property management. Sincerely, PR"

"I live in a one bedroom with my boyfriend and our dog. I love the interior, and I was lucky to have some amazing (and quiet) neighbors. When we moved in everything was brand new, and there haven't been any issues with appliances since. Rene & Roberto are friendly and work so so hard. I've personally experienced both going above and beyond to accommodate us and I have never had such a great experience. That being said, any (actually all) complaints about mess shouldn't be directed toward staff. Other tenants don't always take pride in the property and as upsetting/inconvenient as it is, I can't blame management for things that happen after hours. This is also my first time renting in the heart of a downtown, so the neighborhood/community has been an adjustment but again, not at any fault of the Alamitos. Parking is inconvenient but I work from home, so only having one allotted space is fine for now. The Property Manager has been helpful and willing to hear me out the few times I have reached out with concerns. No apartment complex is absolutely perfect, but the pros outweigh the cons for me."

"This is what our property management team allowed us to live in… in a landfill. Because they refused to collect trash in a timely manner and completely neglected their job duties, we now have an infestation of gnats and baby flies all over the building. I now have so many in my apartment as a result!!!!! Before the switch of management, this place was decent. The two current property managers here ignore our emails and complaints and are completely incompetent and have literally turned this complex into a dump."
