I have lived here a long time and I like it. It is a bit pricey. I enjoy the built in W/D and fireplaces in the units. They have a workout room, jacuzzi, pool and small business area with computers (no printer - they used to have and I wish they would replace it). It is a quiet building, with security guards and security cameras and doors so that is nice. It is very pretty in and out with no bug issues (I hate bugs! so this is major for me) The complaints about the peeling paint and general dirtiness in the stairwells has been true from time to time, but they eventually do clean and paint. We have had water run off issues in those areas, so it took a while to repair. The general upkeep is good overall. Everyone has always been very nice and friendly to me and all repair/maintenance issues are immediately addressed. You can hear people walking above, but that does not bother me. On the whole, if you don't mind paying a bit more, it is a great place to live.

I lived in L'Estancia for two years and I'd highly recommend it to anyone! The building and apartments are beautiful inside, always clean and continually updated. Management, staff & security are all extremely friendly and helpful. The few times I had to put in a maintenance request, the problem was addressed immediately. Overall, if you're looking for a quiet, safe and great located apartment... L'Estancia is the way to go!

The reason I rented this place was Denise Tillery who is great; however, I haven't even moved in yet just sent beds and couches and am already going to be forced to legally file a complaint to break my lease due to abusive, ignorant and rude behavior of Antonio which you can read about from other reviews as well. Despite the fact I have paid for both the month of March and April he refuses to release or send the keys to me which is literally the definition of constructive eviction under the California law and completely illegal. And keeps asking me when i will be moving in physically despite the fact I live in Florida. I am filing a complaint with the BBC, cosumer complaints, the attorney general and filing a legal suit in court for refusing to release the keys for a property I have legally rented despite allowing both Wayfair and other companies delivering my bed to it. The place is nice but nothing is worth dealing with this crazy person. He interrupts you talks over you refuses to listen and when you try and explain nicely he gets upset you get frustrated and he likes to hear himself talk. NEVER EVER RENT FROM HERE. I wasn't going to originally because of all the horrible reviews regarding Antonio a guy who basically married the family who owns this and is insecure about not having a real job. I only rented for Denise. I will also be forced to call the police now for now he is committing a crime by not allowing me to move into my own place or send me the keys. The bad news for him is i am an attorney with cashier's checks the have been cashed and prove that i am legally in compliance with my rent and he is actually in violation of his own lease.

I stayed here in one of their corporate apartments and the building staff is courteous and attentive. It seemed straight-forward to live here although I don't think the building condition justifies what they charge (modern condo prices in 1970s apartment building). There was one major issue for me. If someone lives above you, you will hear their every waking moment of the day. Thanks to the tenants loud footsteps above me, I knew when they woke up, when they went to work, when then got home, and when they went to bed. I had to adjust my home life to theirs if I wanted a good night sleep. Thankfully I was only a short-term resident as I would have been in a breaking lease situation over the noise from the neighbor above. Building management was notified but not proactive handling it.

I have lived here almost 3 years and I absolutely love it. The management staff is top of the line, super friendly and always willing to help you with anything you need. The building is extremely well maintained. They are always updating, painting, gardening. Since I have lived here I have received a new microwave and a new washer and dryer not because they are broken but they wanted to upgrade. Everyone I have met as far as neighbors are super sweet and kind. I love the fact that they do not allow dogs which makes this building nice and quiet.. In order to get acquainted with neighbors they throw special gatherings during the holidays and throughout the year. If I had it my way I would live here forever.

I will list both the positive and negatives experiences I have had while living at L'Estancia Apartment Homes. PROS: 1. The building's exterior and the majority of the interior is beautiful! It is always clean, well-maintained, and does not have the odor many apartment buildings do. 2. The management has always been very friendly and patient. 3. If I have a question, concern or a work order, someone is immediately at my disposal. They are easy to reach by phone or by email. 4. I feel safe and comfortable in the building and know that the security is high end. 5. It is a wonderful location with a great deal of restaurants and shops around the area. 6. The amenities are great (gym, 2 jacuzzis, pool) CONS: 1. There are many areas in the building that are very worn and/or filthy. The stairwells have paint peeling off of them and what looks like mold growing. They have been that way for over 6 months now (maybe longer) and it does not seem like that will be changing anytime soon. 2. There are approximately 10 visitor parking spots in the building....THAT'S IT! They are always taken by tenants who do not have enough room in the resident parking lot OR by visitors who tend to park over the lines, which results in not being able to use the spot. 3. The building itself is located near the Firehouse so you consistently hear fire engines driving by at all hours. 4. The tandem parking spots will not park 2 cars. The first spot will fit a "smart car" and the next will fit your regular size car..but barely. 5. The pool and the jacuzzis are small and tend to be dirty. (I do understand that they will be redoing the pool though) 6. If you have a tenant living above you, good luck. It often sounds like the tenant above is jumping up and down, dropping everything and sliding huge furniture back and forth. 7. Not every tenant in the building is very friendly. There is a whole lot of ego in the building and these rude tenants will make it very clear that you are "below" them. 8. You will pay a significant amount of money and most likely not receive what you are expecting.

I lived here recently and just moved into my first home. These apartments are pricey but nice, staff is always pretty friendly... very very quiet building but i suppose it depends who your neighbors end up being, but every time i walk through the halls i hear nothing but maybe TV lowly from someones apartment. I think they could definately lower the price a little bit, considering the actual apartments are pretty small and not that fancy, but location is nice. The security is pretty good, i actually didnt realize they had changed the keys when i went out of town once, so i tried to get in semi late (around 10pm) when i had gotten back, and the security questioned me and checked my keys and name to make sure i was telling the truth, although it was pretty awkward and at the time i was a little bit annoyed by it thinking it was kind of rude, im glad that he did check because it makes me feel like they actually do keep an eye unlike some apartments with security that just sit around and dont do their job. The manager has always been nice to me, along with the rest of the staff. My only complaint is that they didnt give very good answers when id ask about when maintenance issues would be done, almost monthly theyd be changing something in the building or working on one thing or another, and when id ask for time frames i would always get the "We cant tell you or give you an estimate, sorry" answer. I understand you cant give me an exact answer, but you could give me an estimate im not going to be mad if your estimate is wrong, its just kind of hard to work around their schedule sometimes seeing as though i worked nights and they did projects all day. Other then my few small complaints about nothing major, this place was great! Alot better then the rest of the places i lived befor.

Me and my boyfriend chose L'Estancia to live at as our very first place to live alone together and we LOVE it!! We fell in love with the fact that the building actually has character and design and doesn't look like every other factory apartment building in LA. It's theme is "Old Spanish hotel" with a modern twist because everything is clean and fresh! The lobby is beautiful, decorated with Spanish paintings and heavy mahogany furniture:) The pool area is small but is lushly landscaped with greenery and veerry peaceful! It feels like you're in the backyard of your own Spanish mansion when you're there! I'm a workout fiend, so having a gym in the complex is a MUST for me!! And the gym here is more than adequate, with treadmills, bikes, elliptical machines, ab chair, benches, weights, medicine balls, and arm/leg machines. Me and the boyfriend love it! Our apartment itself is on the small side but PERFECT for us: one bedroom, a HUGE bathroom, nice lay-out with the bathroom having two doors (one connecting to the living room and one to the bedroom). Full size Washer/Dryer in a separate compartment behind doors in the bathroom. Kitchen has nice black appliances and granite countertops. Nice Fireplaces in every unit. One more thing we love about this building is it is VERY secure! And there is 24-hour security officers there at all times, with the office open in the lobby!! The officers r extremely friendly and professional, makes you feel very safe! We recommend anybody looking for an aptartment in the Studio City/ Valley area to try L'Estancia!!

Horrible. It looks nice on the outside, but the inside is falling apart. The apartment manager is a f--ng psycho who demanded $5,000 for when I filmed two actors talking in the lobby for two hours when no one was around then broke into my apartment illegally with teams of policemen, firemen and paramedics when I refused to pay him. I lived here for 3 years and paid $2,000 monthly. This is how I was treated. Avoid this psychopath and this rip-off of a complex. DON'T PATRONIZE HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT. There is already more than enough of it in L.A. Don't trust this man with your belongings or near your children. Update: I don't know why the other two LEGITIMATE one-star ratings were sent to the "filtered" file, yet the obviously, hideously fake "me and boy has much fun in here lolz" review with multiple old pictures FROM THEIR WEBSITE of a spruced-up unit is allowed to remain. But these sentences from one of the filtered reviews are worth reading: "The drab new paint job cannot brush over the fact that the longtime manager needs to be replaced. Not likely to happen because he married into the owner's family, and they apparently have no clue what he's actually doing. For such high prices, the residents deserve better than his condescending, arrogant and often argumentative attitude." Update 2 (8/21/15): I just read the manager's response. This guy was posting threatening forms on my door daily until my lawyers threatened to get a restraining order against him, and he often used this "all the best" (as he did here) nonsense as a sign off on each one. He is truly an insane phony. Also, no one in his right mind believes that anything that I did that day with two actors speaking calmly to each other briefly was "disruptive" to anyone. He simply wanted to exploit the situation and get cash out of it. Frankly, he belongs behind bars for violating laws and his misuse of many public servants.

High end apartments. Lived here for a year; the location is decent, on Ventura in Studio City off of Vineland. The apartments are pricey, but nice. They also have a penthouse floor, which can only be accessed by a key, or through a callbox in the elevator, which was an added perk for us. The staff is courteous and friendly, and the best part, is there's a doorman/staff person in the lobby 24/7. This means the building will sign for and lock up any packages that come for you when you're not at home. No more heading to the post office or dealing with the delivery slips they leave you.
