Residences At Westgate Apartments

Most residents appreciate the convenient Old Town Pasadena location, amenities, and generally responsive maintenance and staff. However, concerns about communication responsiveness, security gaps, package theft, recurring maintenance issues, and significant annual rent increases create friction for a meaningful portion of the community.

Management responsiveness is inconsistent across the property. Most residents report positive interactions with leasing and maintenance staff, citing friendliness, professionalism, and timely issue resolution. However, a notable minority experience difficulty reaching office staff by phone, delayed maintenance responses, and communication gaps on community concerns. Recent management transitions appear to have improved service quality for some residents, though consistency remains a concern.

However, parking logistics present recurring challenges, including gate access issues and spot conflicts, and some residents report security concerns including vehicle break-ins and package theft.

Maintenance responsiveness and professionalism are generally strong, with most residents reporting prompt service and friendly staff.
