It was okay but we were from a different time. When we first moved there in 2001 it was full of shady characters. We watched our neighbors snort a line of coke off the wall of our patio wall. As the years went by it became a nicer place and it was pretty decent for about 10 years. We then noticed the rent really going up. In the past we had years with zero increase in rent. We had the same issues most mention with the plumbing and dirty water backups, ceiling leaks. Never had bugs. Apartment flooded every year in heavy rain due to patio next door filling up like a bathtub and then flooding the next door apt. Water gushing in through the walls into ours. We left in 2016 when the rent went up again by a large amount, coupled with new fees to pay water, trash and something else? Couldn't see it, although the forced move due to cost eventually cost my spouses life moving away from UCI area. I'm here because I cannot believe the rents being charged now for the place. We must have been there when a new owner took over because it dramatically changed for the worse and became more expensive. I cannot see paying as much as they are asking for a single apt. next to a noisy elevator that usually smelled like burning oil. The rents they charge are for newer buildings. Hopefully people in So Cal finally say enough is enough and take back control of the rents tho I suppose it will never happen. Also hopefully they stopped the constant apartment inspections.
