Magnolia City Lights Apartments — Local services in Los Angeles

I grew up here and it used to be so beautiful, but new management has run this place to the ground.

This place is so horrible. I’ve been living here since I was born, and it’s just been declining since the management is never there. There’s always an issue with the elevators.
