In general, I like the area surrounding Villa Siena and Villa Siena puts on quite a good fecade. When you tour the Villa Siena apartment complex, you'll be impressed by the Pools and Garden areas. Once you move into Villa Siena, you see the real under belly of the beast I call the Irvine company. Villa Siena is a gated community, so it appears to be safe. Unfortunetly, gates don't work. Villa Siena has quite a bit of theft, especially cars and motorcycles. My motorcycle was stolen from a under ground, gated parking garage at Villa Siena and my roomates girl friends car was broken into and her belongings were stolen. There are now security cameras, so thieves walk away easily. The security gaurds are used mostily for delivery, otherwise there not seen much. Villa Siena is also a very wasteful property. There are now recycling services and watering is done during the middle of day. I recently got a complaint for using indoor electrical fans instead of my centeralized air conditioning (which I avoid using because of the outrageous electrical bills).

You used an electrical fan?! It wasn't one that was mounted on your window.. right? Cause those are ghetto.

I agree. You take the tour of this place and you think to yourself "Wow, how nice." Then you move into your "actual" building, and realized you've been duped. You get into the rickety elevator with some type of writing on a sign or some type of defacement. Also, My building apparently is the only building that doesn't have a gas stove, which is weird. I agree the "security" is a total facade, their job has to be so boring, because they don't seem to do anything. There have been plenty of times when I have rolled up to the gate and the guest waiting for their pass just pulls forward and follows me in.. and the "security" does nothing!
