| Recent Review: | | STAY AWAY FROM CAMDENI have just ended my lease because I just found out that some corrupt Camden security staff and the towing companies have a kickback deal by where the security guards get $ for referring tow to Southside Towing.I would not recommend the place to anyone. It is no surprise that they have to offer incentives to get tenants. |

| Recent Review: | | In order to acurately comment on "The Casa" (as it is commonly referred to by tenants), I will comment on each of the reviewed categories:SECURITY - When I first moved here we had a full-time security guard on duty at night.He rarely did anything, and you mostly saw hiw walking around looking to ticket someone for making a parking space out of any piece of real estate one could find to park their car.That said it was much better having him around.His mere presence was enough to ward off people from taking your parking spot.It was also handy to have him around for one of those rare times you get locked out of your apartment.PARKING - If I could give this category a ZERO, I would.Simply put, there are not enough spaces.We have a 3 bedroom apartment and are alloted 2 spaces (it used to be 3, but the new management took one away and then had us pay an extra $25/month to get an "extra" space).Also, there are no guest spots...which sucks, because for anyone to visit you they need to park way down the road on Maple St. or across Harbor at Norms.LANDSCAPING - The Casa Victoria God must love landscaping, because the maintenance workers are always working on a new project.They plant flowers, rip them out, put in grass, tear that out, add a fountain, then decide to replant flowers around the fountain.Again, I think a bunch of wasted money is spent at the local Home Depot outdoor section, but hell...it's not my money.MANAGEMENT - I think management does anything it can to appear as if they actually work here.The hold somewhat regular office hours, but are horrible at managing the complex.I have lived here for 4 years and always pay rent on time and treat my neighbors with respect.I'm the kind of tenant management prays for.On two different occasions when my rent was increased I forgot to add the new amount into the check.Simple mistake.Both times I received a poorly worded ALL CAPS letter threatening eviction...when a simple reminder phone call would have done the job.I'm sure it is just a lack of education and ignorance that causes this behavior, but it's still poor form.MAINTENANCE - The maintenance guys are good workers.They never replace anything and prefer to continually fix things, but I think that is more of a cheap management or landlord issue.That, or they just like to visit us on a regular basis.CONDITION - Our apartment is in serious need of new carpet.The management pays for the cheapest carpet possible to be installed in these apartments, and then is shocked that it doesn't last.They will not replace our carpet even though it is in serious need of a replacement.NOISE - Besides the street traffic (my apartment is right on Victoria Blvd), we never had issues with noise...until recently.In the last year we gained two loud neighbors.The person below us has a 13-year old daughter that listens to loud music (and she has horrible taste in music by the way), and the people above us have tile floors and heavy wood chairs they drag back and forth all day and all night.OVERALL - I can't complain too much...after all, I have stuck around here for 4 years.However, it will be time to move soon.The only reason I stay is because I have low rent due to the fact I have been here so long.For people looking to move in now, the rents would be higher than I pay by at lease a couple hundred dollars/month.To that person I say go find a more enjoyable place to live.It's worth the extra few bucks per month.I recommend going over to the "East Side" of Costa Mesa. |

| Recent Review: | | I don't recommend moving here.The floorplans are nice, and washer/dryer hookups are a plus, but it doesn't make up for everything else.I moved as soon as my lease was up. |

| Recent Review: | | These apartments are nice to the eye and management has even started doing some out door renovations.With the particular apartment that I have though, there has been some problems with leaking, damp air and mold.Maintenance did temporarily fix the problem, but the problems came back they are now in the process of fixing the problem for good.This process has taken several months.On the positive side,the grounds are kept clean and are generally quiet.Laundry facilities are available, but usually a lot of the machines are out of order....The parking situation is OK.Tenants are assigned one parking place per apartment in the underground lot.You have the option of paying $25 per month for an additional spot.Trying to find a parking spot outside of the complex is a chore.The complex is right next to Lyons park, the public library, and a community center.It is also accross the street from 24 hour fitness and a shopping center which includes Sav-On, Rubios, Quiznos and more.It is 3 stop lights away from the 55 freeway.(Very Convenient!!)Overall this is a good apartment to live in-- he convenient location out weighs the facts the apartments are older. |

| Recent Review: | | I have rented at this community for 3 years and since the management change 2 years ago the new rent and utilities fees are out of control.Water and gas are not metered on individual units and the property management company has started billing based on occpancy.It amazes me how our water and gas bill can be 3 times our electric bill in an apartment that has no gas appliances.There is also no transperancy in the billing proceedure so you cant see exactly what you are paying for.Renter Beware. |

| Recent Review: | | Apartment is spacious and the grounds are nice, but the buck stops there. Management is extremely rude and do not want to be bothered. In order to solve parking issues they began towing cars without a guest pass. had a friends car towed and found that not only did the tow truck driver break into the vehicle to tow it, but the security guard stood there and allowed him to do it. They charge top dollar, but they must not pay their employee's much, because the quality of their work is well below acceptable. I would not suggest living in this community to anyone. I think the employee's forget that they are customer service representatives. had two neighbors move due to their cars being stolen out of their carports, roomates driver side lock broken in a failed burglary attempt, and my bicycle was stolen off of my patio. i could go on and on about this place. RENTERS BEWARE |

| Recent Review: | | I've lived here for five years.The management and staff are great and parking is the best I've seen.The apartments are well maintained and if you need something fixed it is done immediately.The security staff is horrible and there is an ant problem.If you aren't scarred to tell occassional neighbors to quiet down the noise levels are decent for the most part. |

| Recent Review: | | When I first moved intot he complex it was so quite and nice, even the landlords were nice. Untill 5 months later when new landlords came to manange the complex. Let me tell you run as fast as you can because they will do nothing to help you. I have ants everyday and a hole in the bedroom wall since day one. I have finished my least term and excited to say I get to leave hell. Unless you are very desperate or don't mind rude, loud, and unprofessional people, this might be the home for you. |

| Recent Review: | | I love this apartment complex.It is very small, and the parking is the best around.The manager is very nice, and makes sure everything is how it should be.Some of the people in A are a little rude, yet they still mind their own business.It is very convient having a washer and dryer, and the fix it man is always on top of things.I love it here!This is NOT a party place, and only a couple quiet college students. |
