Testimonials
My wife and I lived here for a year and it was absolutely great! The upgrades management has done has really set it apart from a lot of the other apartments in the area. Management is amazing and quick to respond if you need anything. The location is also a plus as everything is within walking distance. We only moved out due my wife finishing her residency at UCLA and we decided to relocate.

An amazing place to live! I had the best time of my life living in Westwood Riviera. The staffs are amazing. They get things done right away. It is a quiet building, good neighborhood and a safe and convenient location. I lived here for 10 years and really sad that I had to move to another city.

I have lived here a while and yes, renovations have taken a bit longer than approximated but having experienced with construction projects elsewhere in the past, there is no guarantee they they are completed on the exact date originally scheduled. The tenants I know on my floor have all remarked how responsible management is here. Now that renovations are in their finishing stage and seeing the results, I will say the Westwood Riviera is now better than ever.
