Where to start' Maintenance took an average of 3 weeks to take care of important service orders. If you speak English, you'll be hard-pressed to find someone you can talk to around the pool or public area. Most of the residents are Mexican and MOST make little, if any, effort to learn the language or be friendly to anyone outside of their "possy" or gang. That's right, I did say the word 'gang'. Management does not screen potential tenants AT ALL. No credit checks. No social security checks. No backround, refs nothing. 1 BRs frequently are packed with 5 or 6 to a family; 8 in a 2 BR is commonplace. I left last year and have been happy ever since. Nighttime noise. That's why that place has the #1 turn-around in Aliso Viejo. What else' Management doesn't care because they see 1 apartment at a time, and are never forward-looking; there's no 'vision'. They know desperate families are in need of an apartment. Prices are never published. Everything changes "daily", so you can get totally screwed, esp on renewing your contract. Management admits 'this place is going downhill'. If you're Mexician and are looking to be amongst "your own type", you'll feel like you're at home and I'd highly recommend it. To everyone else, good luck; you'll be made to feel like a tourist in your own country. And it won't be a country you'll be revisiting anytime soon. So, when you call up, make sure you ask 2 main questions: 1) what's your turn-around and why so high' and 3) what's your demographic and why' :)
