Put cameras in or near your apartment. They don't communicate to well when it comes to trying to enter your apartment. They actually don't communicate to well at all. But other then that they are great.

I've rented apartments from Hawthorne Stone two times in the past 13 years and have nothing but great things to say about them. They seriously have it down and are most attentive and professional management company. You can pay rent online, file service requests online as well, and everything is addressed promptly. Both buildings I lived in were super clean and well maintained, if it was possible I wish I could still be their tenant!

This is the best property management company I've ever worked with. I lived in one of their buildings for 10 years and just moved out, and I never had a single problem with them. Actually the opposite -- they made the general annoyances everyone has while renting apartments (the occasional maintenance request/repairs) seem like no big deal. When a freak plumbing accident caused water from the washing machines downstairs to back up and flood my apartment, they put in new hardwood floors for me and even paid for me to replace my own rugs, rather than me having to file a rental insurance claim

Professional team of property managers. Havent leased from them. But negotiated a lease and they were very accommodating and helpful on all element of lease and tenant improvement. We missed a great chance due to change in business location .
