September availability even though I am flexible. acceptance of a cat. respect from management neighbors and persons on staff. accessibility to resolve any building conflicts and to have necessary accessibility for handicap individuals. that are in my family. A system that is equal to neighborhood watch. kindness and respect towards neighbors and others in general. Accessibility to reputable grocery stores with delivery options. neighborhood watch and farmers markets. security guards and gated buildings are always a plus."

    "I’ve lived in Bunker Hill (NW side) for about 2 years now and the management companies are the ONLY differentiator for you loving or hating where you live. Goldrich Kest is manages both of their buildings with so much thoughtfulness and care that you cant help but feel like you are in an inclusive and safe community. They throw events like movies nights and free bbqs here and there so the neighbors to come and interact with each other. Service requests are handled expediently and I have never heard of anyone breaking into parking garage… which is more than I can say for properties south of 5th street. Since Bunker Hill is in the Business District, there is a neighborhood security company that regularly patrols the area (purple shirts) and cleans up all trash. The occasional homeless is few and far between. Now, the ONLY negative I have is that there is occasionally street racing/burnouts on lower grand around that starts at around 11pm and goes till approx. 1am at times. Police are always called but they have watchers and can never be fully stopped. Just make sure you are asleep befor"

    "I’ve lived in DTLA since 2012. The best restaurants are all here. Museums within easy walking distance. I hate the gentrification & the people/ridiculous developments it brought, but that’s me. I’d rather see historic buildings used for adaptive reuse for lofts and local businesses. Perla (400 S Broadway) is an eyesore and all wrong for the historic core. I never imagined I’d have that & an Apple Store on my street when I moved in. There are some benefits, but everyone that made DTLA cool came from the people who (in too many cases) were driven out after their rent went up. There are still some great people, but the types I wanted to avoid inevitably moved here in droves later on. Oh well. "
