Review from the web

Ive lived here for 2 years now and the leasing office is amazing, they go above and beyond, the grounds are well kept. Apartments are in great shape. I think the only negative thing I have to say is, I wish there was central AC but everything else is great!

These apartments are conveniently located near South Coast Plaza, Metro Pointe, freeways, church, supermarkets, restaurants, etc... I moved into a fixer upper apartment here last year. Since then the onsite manager Brennan has gone above and beyond to make me feel at home. He has fufilled practically all of my maintenance requests in a timely manner. It is great to have an onsite manager that you can count on.
