So So...

This place really is yes and no. On one hand the property is more attractive than most, offers many amenities and has a good location. On the other hand, Shea was cheap in the construction and there are a lot of really inconsiderate people living here. Shea also did not engineer the garage space very well. This means that every apartment no matter the size ONLY has ONE assigned space. The other spaces are considered "guest" and is a free for all. What a joke considering that this is freakin' SoCal where just about everyone has more than one vehicle.

I guess I can't blame Shea for the rudeness of others but I can blame them for not being more proactive to help mitigate possible issues that can arise due to these circumstances. Too many management companies cop out with the "we can't control other people" routine though.

So how are some of these people so rude you ask' Well, loud tailpipes on cars racing through garages with loud thumping bass is one way. Stomping around on the floor and running the washing machine constantly is another. Slamming doors is another. Parking in a parking space that you know damn well is not yours is another.

I guess part of it has to do with SoCal culture. There is such a high ratio of people here who only think of themselves.

Considering the bucks you gotta shell out to live here, Shea could have done a better job but they missed the mark and that is why City Lights will go down as just another apartment complex with the same problems the rest of them have. Nothing special, move here if you must but be prepared for noise issues.
