Studio City is a neighborhood in the city of Los Angeles, primarily within the 91604 zip code area. It was named for a studio lot originally built in 1927, now the CBS Studio Center, and is home to many actors and celebrities. With a median household income of over $75,000, Studio City is an affluent area with a low population density and it offers a wide range of opportunities for those looking to invest in real estate.

Marketing and Advertising: Our first task is to get the word out about your desirable Studio City property. We will give your property an extensive online presence by listing it on the most popular rental websites, including our own at www.utopiamanagement.com.

Tenant Screening: Obtaining a viable tenant for each of your rental units is a primary concern for Utopia Management. Our rigorous process of tenant screening enables us to weed out most potential problems before a contract is signed. From background and credit checks, to verifying employment and income, we will do everything we can to get the right tenant in your property as quickly as possible.

We are highly tuned to the latest Studio City market trends and can help you make vital decisions about your property.

Maintenance and Repair: In addition to operating under a general contractor’s license (#792427), Utopia Management has relationships with many trusted third-party vendors. This enables us to consider the maintenance needs of your property and find the right team, at the best price, to handle each job.

Accounting: Our team of skilled accountants is always working to provide you with current, accurate information about the financial status of your rental property. You can log in to your Utopia web portal from anywhere in the world to view a confidential report on the previous month’s financial activity.
