El Sereno Apartments offers the perfect balance of convenience, comfort, and community. Centrally located just steps from the VA Hospital, residents can easily walk to a nearby supermarket, Starbucks, Planet Fitness, McDonald’s, and a wide variety of local restaurants.

Our mid-sized community is intentionally designed to offer the best of both worlds—large enough to provide professional on-site management and maintenance, yet small enough to foster a friendly, neighborly atmosphere where residents are known and supported. Many of our residents have chosen to make El Sereno their long-term home, and we’re proud of the stability and sense of community that creates.

We’ve been actively renovating our apartments with thoughtful upgrades, including new high-efficiency central heating and A/C systems, updated appliances, modern flooring, fresh paint palettes, and more. These improvements are designed to enhance comfort while keeping operating costs efficient.

Convenience is a priority at El Sereno. Residents enjoy online rent payments, mobile app–based laundry payments, and transparent, minimal fees. Our management team is always accessible—on-site at the office, or easily reached by phone, text, or email.

El Sereno Apartments is a pet-friendly community, and we proudly accept Section 8 and other housing vouchers.

Come see why so many residents are proud to call El Sereno home.
