Verdosa — Local services in Los Angeles

I definitely recommend living here! I’ve lived at the Watermarke Tower for a little over 3 years now, and have been very happy with the overall experience in that time. The Bozzuto Management company has recently taken over the property, and I am glad to say everything has been for the better. Tyler and Kyle, the new management team, have been extremely pleasant to interface with thus far. My lease renewal period happened to come up just as the transition was taking place, and they both immediately took action to ensure I was taken care. The last thing someone wants is feeling like you are “just a number” at your home, and they have done an excellent job in making sure that isn’t the case for me. After touring many properties around DTLA, I immediately found the spacious layouts at Watermarke to be the best for the price points in the area.

Putting in a service request for any issues that comes up is an easy and painless process. Typically submitting a request results in the fixes being performed within 24 hours.

To date, I have felt safe living here. It is DTLA, there are all walks of life in the city, and accidents can occur anywhere. I feel the team at Watermarke is doing their diligence in making sure all entrances are locked where they need to be, and screening people who do not belong.

The only flaw I would have given is to some of the amenity areas, but since Bozzuto has taken over they have started a variety of building renovation projects to freshen the decor of the building to modern standards.

Hope this helps...

UPDATED REVIEW (MAY 2025): After living at Verdosa for one year, I wanted to update my review as I could not be happier! My unit is incredibly spacious and comfortable, and I love the natural light and great views that I get to enjoy every single day. The property is safe, clean, and well-kept, and the maintenance staff is always kind and considerate whenever helping with a request. Special shoutout to Sam for recently going above and beyond when completing a few service requests!

The most wonderful part about living at Verdosa is the exceptional staff—everyone that works here goes above and beyond to ensure that all residents truly feel at home and taken care of. Special shoutout to Asante at the concierge desk who always brightens my day when I see her, as well as Martin who very recently helped me with a very smooth and easy lease renewal.

I highly recommend living at Verdosa—it really is top tier when it comes to DTLA living!

INITIAL REVIEW (MAY 2024): I'm writing to give a shout out to the leasing team at Watermarke Tower — specifically Kevin, Angel, and Tyler! These three gentlemen were all incredibly kind, considerate, and quick to respond to my calls and emails. They were flexible and provided me the option to stop by for same-day tours, and demonstrated professionalism and deep knowledge of the property when showing me different floor plans.

I'm very excited to move in to Watermarke Tower in a few weeks — the decision to move here was easy with how truly outstanding...

Update: Removing one star because they listed my old apartment for $600 LESS than I was paying. I told them I would stay for $400 less and they said no. So everyone loses.

Pros: Management is great (with the exception of one moody front desk person), apartments are very nice, amazing views, awesome gym, nice pool, fun resident activities occasionally.

Cons: Thieves wait in the alley for a resident to pull in them follow you into the garage and break into cars. They posted "security" at the gate for a few weeks then stopped. One elevator has been broken down for months. There are two garage entrances: one in the alley and one facing the street. Only the alley is used, which is frustrating sometimes as large trucks frequently park in the alley.

Overall this place is great. The only reason I'm leaving is because I had an issue with a neighbor (police had to be called) and management allowed me to move to another unit, but it was $700 more (this all happened fast so I didn't want to find a new building on short notice). I noticed my old apartment was available to rent before the new tenant's lease should be up, so I'm guessing the new tenant also had problems with the neighbor. Then I got a renewal letter with a rent increase. I would have appreciated some kind of discount given the circumstances,...
