I have been at One Jefferson for about a year and have advised friends to look elsewhere. This is not due to the actual apartments, they are well put together. The rec center and surrounding area are beautiful. This is also not due to location, which is decent with relation to freeways and other city necessities. One word separates this complex from my recommendations...management. I have found many in the office to be both confrontational and incompetent. Tasks that would take many complexes hours to solve will take this team constant reminders and weeks of patience. I don't necessarily think that they are hopeless. Half of the office is young and inexperienced at getting things done. The higher management assistant manager and manager are simply inept. If you find that One Jefferson is your choice, make sure you document everything, from keeping a notebook to taking pictures upon moving in. This will help when the front office 'loses' your documentation and cannot remember guaranteeing this or promising that.
Pros: location, rec center, professional tenants
Cons: noise in lower apartments, time spent doing management's job for them
