I literally never write reviews, but honestly the experience as a potential tenant was soooo pleasant! I worked with Brett!! & let me tell you he is sweet as a bell. Such a gem, and honestly was very attentive, responsive, and accommodating! I loved the tour as it was self guided: which honestly gives a feel of what it would be like the live in the community! Pegasus is just a beautiful place & I can’t wait to move in!!!! Thank you SO much Brett!!! 💗💗

When shelves in the kitchen cabinets are painted on you know you live in a low class building. This apartment lacks a lot and there is so much to be desired for the price. I was able to find something better in the downtown area that doesn’t require a 3-5 month wait to park at the building. You can spend your money elsewhere for about the same price and better living in the downtown area

** Avoid renting here AT ALL COSTS ** My apartment flooded (at least) five times. Twice from the kitchen sink, 3+ times from the bathroom sink, and, most severely, from the washing machine. The kitchen sink flooded because the pipes underneath the sink were not actually connected. The first time I contacted maintenance, they repositioned the pipes so that they were vertically aligned, but still failed to connect the pipes. After a few weeks, the pipes again came out of alignment and again flooded my kitchen. The bathroom sink flooded, repeatedly. Somebody else's shower water would backwash, coming up through the bathroom sink's drain. The severity of the flooding varied depending on the length of the other person's shower. The sink cabinet was filled with water - all of my wife's makeup was destroyed, along with a hair dryer, etc. Not to gross anybody out - but I can still remember the smell of the shampoo and dirty water that lingered for days. The most severe flood came when the washing machine backed up and overflowed. The entire apartment was under several inches of water and flooded into the hallway. Despite this, Pegasus did not provide any assistance with drying for several days - I think it was a full week. The day after the flood, I went to the leasing office and asked for fans - I even offered to go rent fans myself and let them reimburse me for the cost of the rental. They refused. When they finally did do some work in the apartment, they ripped out all of the baseboards, and did not replace them EVER. Our walls were ripped up for a full six months - HALF OF THE LEASE TERM. They also told us that the carpet was professionally cleaned, but when I inspected the carpet it was still visibly very dirty. Our apartment smelled like dirty carpet, our dog was starting to get sick, and we eventually had to leave. Despite all of this, Pegasus continued to insist that the carpet was clean and that everything was fine. They refused to even partially reduce or refund rent. When the lease was almost up, I drove from Phoenix to Los Angeles for the sole purpose of doing the walk through so that we could avoid any confusion and get our full security deposit back. I was told that we would get the full deposit back because the apartment required so much work anyway. A few weeks later, I received a statement that said that I was being charged hundreds of dollars because I had allegedly painted a wall from white to eggshell white. This is absurdly dumb (I would not paint a white wall a slightly different white), illegal (landlords are obligated to give notice to the tenant of damages and give tenant an opportunity to repair before moving out), and rude (I wasted my time driving twelve hours round trip to avoid exactly this). One of my friends also lived in the building. Her apartment also completely flooded. She was unlucky enough to be away for the week when in flooded, and her belongings soaked for a full week. That friend was also charged a bogus painting fee at moveout. Pegasus will lie to you, repeatedly, to get what they want. I would communicate something to the leasing office, and they would turn around and call my wife, without telling her that they had spoken to me, to try to get her to say something that would contradict what I had said. Despite the tone of this review, I'm a pretty easygoing person, but playing spouses against each other to avoid having to do a simple repair is peak scumbag behavior. Do yourself a favor and live somewhere else. I am more than happy to provide anybody who is a prospective tenant with pictures, videos, and emails to document everything I have said above. I've attached a few pictures so that you know I'm not making this stuff up. For more, feel free to contact me at jimrobichaud207 at gmail dot com.

Living at Pegasus is overall a pretty good experience. I think given all the places in Downtown Los Angeles Pegasus ranks higher. Moving in and Moving out is pretty easy, they have a very large freight elevator that makes it much easier than a lot of buildings. The rooftop pool is definitely a huge bonus to living here. Not many places in Downtown Los Angeles have rooftop pools and views are great. There is also a BBQ area, restrooms, tv lounge area and gym on the roof. Neighbors on the floor I lived on at least are really nice and very respectful. I've heard that isn't the case for all the floors, I guess it's just lucky. I would say there is a healthy mix of people that live there, some in their 40's-50's and others 20's -30's. They don't have a ton of mixers to meet neighbors but the ones they do have I always met a lot of people. The cons are the elevators, but you'll find that with a lot of places, I swear a lot of buildings have elevator issues. But when there is only one elevator working you can wait up to 15 minutes until it comes to your floor or the lobby. The best part about Pegasus is the concierge. Amal was fantastic, always professional, remembers all the residents, and really helpful. I know some people struggled with Management, I personally never did, but I suppose it probably depends on your problem.
