I'm not sure where all these positive 4 and 5 star reviews are coming from, but I'm going to give a recent, not-so-positive review on living in the newly constructed Thrive apartments. I won't speak on the units or complex itself, but mostly on the lack of response from anyone that is supposed to be overseeing them. I have called, I have left voicemails, I have sent emails, and when there's an issue involving finances, I get radio silence. It's like once you've finally moved in, they're kind of done trying to help you (unless it's a maintenance report; so far maintenance has been ok all the times we've needed it). I pay my rent, I pay the extra costs that they decide to tack on to the bill at random and with no warning (so no, I can't prepare and budget to make sure I can afford that, but I guess I can just kick rocks if I don't like it, right?) so I think I deserve to at least get a response when I reach out. And I know that no one answers, not only for me, but for anyone that calls from the call box to even get into the building. So deliveries don't get to happen unless you already gave out your direct number to the handler or wait inside all day watching to see if they show up. You'll miss several packages and delivery attempts and have to drive to the processing facility yourself to pick up what you ordered. Ask me how I know. The mailboxes here still do not have locks on them for outgoing mail, so go to the post office for that. And I bring those things up because again, it goes back to the lack of response from anyone managing this place. We enjoy a lot of aspects about what we have here, but there's way too much room for improvement for customer service and communications. If they do end up raising the rent every year by 10% as other reviews stated, we'd probably be priced out. But they better believe I'll be going up to the office to speak directly with anyone regarding any concerns I have at that point if I'm going to be paying extra. And just to be clear, you will not find my Google name as anyone listed as a tenant, but I do live here. Feel free to listen to any of your messages to figure it out.

Jennifer Calimpong has made this process of apply to apartments so easy and smooth. She reply days and is also open to answer any question I have big or small! Definitely a highlight of my experience.

I’m truly thriving at The Thrive Apartments here on Gardena Blvd! From the moment I did my initial virtual walk-through with Hilda, I knew this was going to be my new home. The space was beautiful and intimate—just perfect for me. Hilda saw my excitement and said, “It’s yours.” From that moment on, she and the team worked hard to make it mine. Customer service is truly their strong point. The team was patient, kind, and supportive throughout the entire process. I also have to mention Jennifer, who made me feel at home from our very first phone conversation. The apartment itself is everything I hoped for—clean, modern, and fully equipped. I have my washer and dryer, dishwasher, fridge, stove, and even a patio to enjoy fresh air. And being located right on Gardena Blvd, I’m surrounded by some of my favorite restaurants up the street and around the corner. Thank you to the entire Coastline team for helping me find not just an apartment—but a place I can truly call home.

Erica, Senior Property Manager, at Coastline Equity has been amazing! She recently began overseeing the property I live at and is so responsive, professional, and effective. Erica's expertise in property management is also apparent as she is consistently quick to find solutions with ease and knowledge. It has been refreshing to have her manage the property and I feel very grateful! Additionally, Kaelyn is one of the most patient, kind, and professional Maintenance Technicians that I have encountered. He has always been proactively helpful at the property I live at and thoroughly takes care of any repairs I need in my unit with confidence. You can also tell that he cares for the building as well as all the tenants. I feel that we are lucky to have him as our tech!

Jennifer Calimpong, Leasing Coordinator, at Coastline Equity is one of the best! She responded to my questions regarding several places for rent in a thorough, timely, and professional manner. Believe me, in the past several years, I have had to deal with some property management companies who were sub-par. If you want excellent service, go to Coastline and ask for Jennifer! Happy Holidays Everyone.

Onsite Manager, Housing and Showing Specialist Hilda Centeno was prompt, communicative, friendly, and efficient. She gave us a detailed, thorough tour of the property while helping us perform a methodical inspection looking for any issues. My roommate and I contacted her with various inquiries, negotiation requests, and concerns. She responded to each phone call and text in a timely fashion. Her professionalism, knowledge, and honesty were greatly appreciated!

This review has been a long time coming. Coastline equity is an absolutely terrible management company that screws over their tenants. Stay far away from 25846 Oak st. Lomita apartments. They will raise your rent 10% every single year. The maximum amount allowed by law in CA. The units are trash. All fixtures are outdated, no dishwasher, the vertical blind panels were all cracked and falling apart and constantly fell down from the windows. We complained about it numerous times and were told they would be replaced and they never were. Then they charged us for them when we moved out. One of our locks was broken, the lock plate was out of place and was causing the door to get stuck, all they did was send someone over who hit it with a hammer a few times and said it was “fixed” and the door will no longer get stuck but we won’t be able to use the lock. They never replaced it for us. You can’t make this stuff up. The unit had major mold issues. The wall paint developed bubbles every winter and silverfish would crawl out from under the molding and all they would do is send a maintenance guy to paint over the mold in the bathroom. I got sick from mold exposure and have been suffering from panic attacks ever since living here. My health improved after moving out but I’m still recovering a year later. Another big issue was the on site managers, Eduardo and Gabby. We lived next door to them and they often threw loud parties into the early hours of the morning, with their loud drunk guests in the walkway right outside our door. We could hear heated arguments of partygoers through the wall past 3 in the morning. They also invited a large amount of friends or family members who didn’t live in the complex to come and use the pool for hours with a lot of screaming children and loud music. They had the nerve to send out a text to all tenants saying anyone who uses the laundry room past 10pm is ruining the “quiet enjoyment” of the oak st apartments. Coastline equity, you really know who to hire for onsite management. And about the laundry room, all the washers and dryers were old and constantly breaking. Forget about your security deposit. Like I said above, they charged us for the broken blinds that we notified them of when we moved in and made numerous complaints about. They also deducted an exorbitant amount for paint and cleaning. The unit was left cleaner than it was when we moved in. They also charged for normal wear and tear which is unlawful. One more thing to know is that every 6 months, there is a mandatory inspection in which the on site manager will come in your unit and take pictures of every inch of your apartment, they even open your closet and cabinets. I’ve never experienced this at any other apartment I’ve lived in my entire life and it felt so violating. Just stay away from coastline equity.

I rented a few years ago but wanted to warn about 2106 Gates Ave and the management company in general. Apartment A had serious mold issues that they had to tear out and tenants moved out. I lived in Apartment B next door, and the entire year I lived there it was a fight to get them to resolve the humidity issues in our place. Obviously, it was a concern that our neighbors, who we shared walls with, had terrible mold, so we wanted to get our unit checked out. They had checked the air a few times and claimed everything was normal. But because they never did anything and our dehumidifier filled up after 5 hours (not normal), we had to hire our own guy to come out and test our humidity. They were not happy we hired someone else, but what else were we supposed to do when our own management would not help us with a health safety concern? One of our bathroom walls read as 100% wet. We asked for wall removal and to have it dried out, but coastline refused. I was sick every month I lived at this place (which was not normal for me) and am convinced it played a part in developing a panic disorder (mold exposure can contribute to high levels of anxiety, which I already had). When I moved out at the end of 2022, I've only been sick 3 times. Carpets had to be at least 15 years old, I found bugs crawling out of them at one point. All our neighbors hated the units but some continued to live there because of the cheap price. I know some of the tenants were planning to sue them. Maybe the management has gotten better, but in any case, not working with your tenants when there is a health concern is against rental tenant laws and the lease agreement. They also charged us for normal wear and tear--carpet cleaning (as if they do that, and I had told them after we moved in that the carpets were in terrible condition, requesting them to be removed or replaced and they said no) and painting. I told them normal wear and tear should not be taken out of our deposit, but they ghosted me and charged us anyway. Awful management and please avoid the Gates Ave apartments at all costs.
