Who among us hasn’t imagined what we would do if we won the lottery one day and became overnight millionaires? Would you quit your job? Buy a fancy car? Take a dream vacation?    May 20th was National Be a Millionaire Day which is a day to really celebrate those daydreams and imagine ourselves rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous. We decided to take the idea one step further and figure...

     We are always trying to make the lives of our residents (and future residents) easier and more comfortable. This is why we brought in Appfolio, a property management software. It has a bunch of new features that are super easy to use, intuitive, and stress-free! The features also make it so that many of the day-to-day needs can be done virtually, when it comes to Urban LA Living - which...

Look, we know what you might be thinking. We know downtown LA’s reputation. You may have watched Netflix’s documentary about the Cecil Hotel and thought, No way I’m living near there. But here’s the thing: that downtown LA is not downtown LA anymore. Over the past couple of decades downtown Los Angeles has had a stunning revival, thanks in part to the Adaptive Reuse Ordinance in 1999 which made it...

  Like Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek, our favorite season is: Awards Season. Typically Awards Season runs from November to late February/early March but due to the shitshow that was 2020 (and 2021 may also be) the season’s culmination with the Academy Awards has been moved back to April 25. The good news is, that gives us all more time to catch up on the movies we might have missed. Official...

We can’t say for certain but 2020 is surely among one of the worst years in history, right? While we have no guarantees for 2021, we are holding out hope (and sending out all the good juju) that it will be far better than this year. What we do know for sure, is that we will be celebrating the end of 2020 and saying bye bye and good riddance. New Years Eve is going to look a little different this...

Everyone’s been holed up inside their houses for too long, and it’s about high time to have a long walk outside. With limited options due to strict COVID protocols, it may be quite hard to find things that would keep anyone in their best form and mindset as a yearning for a certain sense of recreation ensues. This list might be the answer to every woe, as the following comprehensive list would...

Whether it is shopping at Beverly Hills, hiking up Mount Lee to see the Hollywood sign closer, or looking for 2 bedroom apartments in Downtown LA, it is an excellent experience in the City of Angels. With that said, one of the most notable things in LA is its nightlife. What would be the best option to fully experience LA's uniqueness...

One of the many reasons people move to LA is the warm weather all year round. What do you do when it becomes sweltering in the summer, though? Typically, we’d just crank up the a/c, except in LA and the rest of South California, many apartments don’t have air conditioning! Many of our buildings come with window AC units but not all of them. It’s one of the drawbacks to living in a beautiful 1920’s...
