I wanted to share my review after living here for a year. It has been quite pleasant for apartment living from the time I applied to the time I renewed my lease. I want to give a shoutout to Melissa who has been nothing but kind, professional and most of all helpful in any of my inquiries or requests. Sal and Anthony are also super friendly and efficient. When I have any type of maintenance request they are pretty quick at resolving any issue without much wait. Even just walking down a hallway or in the elevator both Sal and Anthony are always cheery and conversational. Parking garage: I have never had a break-in while parked and also should note that I never leave anything valuable or visible in my car. Visitor parking can be a little nuisance at times I have seen some residents with a resident parking permit taking guest spots consistently when they should be paying for a resident spot. But there are also public parking structures around the area that guests can park but they have to pay a small fee. I never hear my neighbors next to me at all however I do have an upstairs neighbor that you can hear them if they have heavy footfall or heels at times also if they play their music loud you can hear them above you. If you have the opportunity I suggest to get the top floor to avoid it but isn't always an issue depending on your upstairs neighbor. But that is apartment living and I can't really help that part. This apartment is in a great area with Segerstrom performing arts center, OCMA, and various restaurants across the street all walkable. Great spots to walk your dogs. Just an overall pleasant experience living here thus far. Thank you again to the staff!
