No one who lives here is a legal person. If you like people loading their mowers and gardening equipment at 430am for paying $3500 per month fun, have at it. Most the units have 5-10 illegal immigrants, literally. Itā€™s a joke.ā€¦Ā See More >

      Having moved here in April 2012, I have had 4 months to form an informed opinion. It seems as if the former management was the cause of many of the problems mentioned in earlier reviews. Yes, parking is an issue here. There is noā€¦Ā See More >

        Regret moving to such a run down, gang area

        Completely regret moving into this apartment complex. Appliances are terrible, sinks smell since the day I moved in, and the smell will not go away. There are GANGS that live just up the street. Ask a friend that's a cop, if you have one, they'llā€¦Ā See More >

          Great location. Older, but well-kept property.

                  Where to start? What a nightmare.. Worst decision we ever made. Our two months at Ocean Crest was equvilant to two months in Compton or possibly a concentration camp. Sandra is nothing short of a joke she should be asking me to superā€¦Ā See More >
