Where do you start a 15 month whirlpool journey that you watch slowly spin out of your control? I've been reading through quite a few comments that mirror everything a new potential client should be aware of and avoid this property at all cost. Don't be drawn in by the superficial looks of the main office with its clubhouse and resort looking pool. It's all a facade. Be aware of this "Aimco" run property with its false promises and management team that will attempt to lure you in, and then disrespect and disregard your privacy and self respect. My journey started here years ago when the property was just a few years old. It was a great place for young adults to enjoy all the amazing amenities and great outdoors surrounding this community nestled near the beaches and away from the influences of LA. Now that I returned to restart a new journey with the visions of the years past, I only found disappointment starting with the lure of a free month rent. Guess again. Read the fine print only given to you after you sign. At that, read everything. Nothing is like it seems. There are signs posted all over. I was in an auto accident and while using a temporary walker I was ran off the walking path to our apartment by a pack of skateboarders and scooters. I was told that I should have taken a photo of the incident by management, but there's nothing they could do. Security is nonexistent but you pay for it, however, if it nears 10 pm you could see somebody at the Main Pool ( pool #2 or clubhouse)... As for cleanliness in the area we rented for 15 months- 1. Pool #1 was always filthy, furniture including bbq old and mostly broken. And dead honey bees always present and in large numbers 2. The landscaping, general grounds, and areas surrounding buildings 14,15, and 16 were unkept and pretty much dead. Dog feces can be found everywhere even on the walking paths. 3. The downstairs apartments are like living in a auditorium where sounds can be heard day and night and trash and liquid can be found on your balcony and furniture after each performance upstairs. And what they call landscapers use the balconies to blow their grass and debris into. 4. If they do anything in the way of renovating other apartments, expect extreme noise early morning until late at night from all activity and trash everywhere that is not always cleaned up. Note - The trash cans used by residents are exclusively used by all maintenance Lastly, don't expect the front office to answer the phone or resolve problems. This includes all management. Remember you will be treated as if it's aways your problem or your fault that anything happens. Nobody else is complaining, or it could cost too much to fix right now. Or we're working on that and it should start sometime soon we'll let you know. Much more one could say...... Enjoy your stay if this is your choice
