Yelp Recognizes Three Advanced Management Company Communities for Continued Excellence

February 13, 2025

Four Seasons, Serena Vista and Summerwood properties earn People Love Us on Yelp awards in back-to-back years.

IRVINE, CA—February 13, 2025—A trio of Advanced Management Company (AMC) communities has been selected for the second consecutive year for recognition as part of the People Love Us on Yelp campaign. Yelp, the community-driven ratings platform, reserves the honor for its highest-rated and best-reviewed businesses.



“We take immense pride in creating communities that residents truly love calling home,” said AMC President Danielle McCarthy. “Winning the People Love Us on Yelp award for not just one but three of our properties — two years in a row — is a testament to the dedication of our teams and the genuine connections we foster with our residents.” 


AMC’s three award-winning Southern California communities are as follows:

  • Four Seasons Apartment Homes: Located in Paramount, the Four Seasons features a total of 104 one- and two-bedroom units. It has been in the AMC portfolio of properties since 1992. The property has also been chosen in back-to-back years as the Model Multi-Unit winner in the Pride of Paramount awards. 
  • Serena Vista Apartment Homes: Serena Vista, located in Fountain Valley, offers one- and two-bedroom units and has been operated by AMC since 2009. The community leases 172 one- and two-bedroom units.
  • Summerwood Apartment Homes: Located in La Habra, Summerwood is a 98-unit property specializing in one- and two-bedroom apartments and has been under AMC management since 1998.


All three AMC communities are pet-friendly and non-smoking. They feature various resort-style amenities such as in-unit washer and dryer, private gated access, BBQ and picnic areas, sparkling pools and beautifully renovated apartment interiors highlighting quartz counters, custom cabinetry and even wine fridges. 


Yelp boasts nearly 6 million active claimed business pages and over 287 million cumulative reviews. Recipients of the “People Love Us on Yelp” designation score the highest marks in both customer reviews and ratings. 


The Yelp award comes with an official window sticker and a certificate of authenticity. Award winners demonstrate that staff members value customer feedback and encourage community engagement, that properties are properly vetted on the world’s largest review site and that they are a universally loved business in the community. 


“This Yelp award is especially meaningful because it reflects the voices of our residents and prospective VIP guests,” McCarthy said. “Their experiences, feedback and trust motivate us to continually elevate our communities. We are incredibly proud of our team members for delivering such an exceptional experience.”

Irvine, CA – Advanced Real Estate has added another major multi-family asset to its growing portfolio. Canvas LA, a 210-unit property that sits along the 110 Freeway in Downtown Los Angeles was purchased for approximately $62 million. “It’s rare to find such a well-built, podium property like this, for under $300,000 a unit.” Said Rick Julian, CEO of Advanced. “We haven’t seen that kind of pricing in over a decade.” “The property has an ideal location across the street from Vista Hermosa Park. It’s only a 10-minute walk to all the cultural attractions of Bunker Hill including the Broad Museum, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Dorthy Chandler and Ahmanson Theater” said Paul Julian, Rick’s son and President of Advanced. “Trendy Echo Park, is also just over a mile away.” Advanced plans only light renovations at the property as the previous owner had invested over $3 million into upgrades after purchasing it in 2018. The property features a host of unique amenities including a resort-style pool with cabanas, large gym with separate cardio studio, game room, conference and office space, screening room, and sky deck with fire-pit. This was the final purchase for Advanced’s most recent acquisition Fund. That Fund also purchased Edison Long Beach, a 156-unit luxury residential high-rise, the 264-unit Surf House Apartments in Huntington Beach and the 714-unit The Grand Costa Mesa. These recent purchases made Advanced the largest buyer of apartments in Southern California in 2023. “We are long-term holders and wanted to seize this low-basis opportunity. We see a bright future for Los Angeles with the upcoming 2028 Olympics” added the Julians. Advanced will now kick off a new Fund which will be open to their “friends and family” investors and looks to continue to strategically increase its current portfolio of over 12,000 units in Southern California. “Our investor base of over 1,000 families continues to grow as we find great opportunities such as Canvas”, continued Rick Julian. The sale was brokered by Blake Rogers, Kevin Sheehan, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Chelsea Jervis, CJ Angle, Alexandra Caniglia, and Kip Malo of JLL Capital Markets. Advanced procured a $39,975,000 Freddie Mac loan, at a fixed interest-rate of 5.12% for 7 years, with full-term interest-only payments. Kevin MacKenzie, Greg Brown, Charlie Vorsheck, also of JLL Capital Markets arranged the financing.
