Resident 2008 - 2009

8/11/2009

Metropolitan is one of the best complexes in OC. Located on the border of Newport Beach and Irvine, it has all the facilities you may ever need located close by. There are no problems with parking (including guest parking), no crowding teenagers, security guards are friendly, overall this place is safe and very beautiful with its tropical gardens, curvy romantic pathways, tea rose color buildings, all blended. The only thing is if you want to enjoy your quiet living please stay away from the apartment ---- in the building #2243. The owner is crazy, and if you rent that apartment you will not have any quiet living whatsoever. From the day one we struggled to have some privacy but he used to come and knock on the door over and over again. He found a spot at the pool area and peeped into the windows, later writing us e-mails full of anger that we altered this or that. Once he waited when nobody was home, brought locksmith people and locked us out. After that he wrote us an e-mail that he mistook and there was no alterations to his unit, that everything was indeed nice and neat. It is just personal curiosity or he has some emotional connection with that apartment, but he is a real PSYCHO, and I would NEVER recommend to lease a place from him! Please do not be fooled with what you will see at the first sight. Although it is located on the last, 4th, floor it's always very dark inside, the kitchen is so dark that even at the brightest day we had to turn on lights. Living there you will pay twice as much for electricity as usually with the same square footage. All the appliances are original, therefore very old. Drapes on the windows in the living room do not close fully, so he could peep into it whenever he wants. Overall the apartment is very impractical. However there are always a dozen of other nice apartments at the Metropolitan. Just be wise and you will save time, money and health! P.S. We heard that his previous occupants also had the same problems with him. And there's no signs that he's gonna change any time soon. Good luck!
