    Leasing team was Awesome and helpful, made the hassle of moving so easy. Love all the amenities and the huge gym. Easy access to Gaslamp or the trolley. A couple minute walk to school for me. And a amazing apartment.

    Parking is awful and one of the reason why I’ll be ending my 5 year stay at Idea One. The security guards are never to be found and will tow a car when moving in or setting up for an event (even when the front office gave prior approval). Everything else is fine.

    When I approached Idea1, I had just moved and found myself in a very difficult housing situation. I was eager to make a change and was fortunate to connect with Chris, who truly went above and beyond to help me find the perfect apartment. I am now almost a week into my new home and could not be happier with the move. Chris made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I previously lived at Idea1 when the property was managed by Greystar, and it is clear how much care Fairview has put into the ...
    building since then. I am very much looking forward to my tenancy here. If you are considering Idea1, ask for Chris. He will take great care of you and make the transition into your new home as easy as possible.

    Every year that I live in this community, my life gets better and better. I’ve been in Southern California for two years and I wouldn’t change a thing.

    It’s a lovely community that’s FOR residents. The building alone is fantastic, from a 24 gym to a sundeck and jacuzzi and parking. They cater to residents by hosting a plethora of events in the complex and around the community partnering with local business. They’re easy to work with and are efficient at accommodating any and all needs. Couldn’t recommend living here enough!

    I have lived here for nearly four years and the entire time has been an excellent experience. The building is beautiful and the cleanest I've seen anywhere downtown. It is also very safe and has a pleasant and quiet ambience. Neighbours are considerate and friendly and this is because the staff do such a brilliant job at ensuring that Idea 1 is not simply just an apartment complex but also a community that we can call home. Thanks always to the wonderful Idea 1 staff for making this community ...
    such a wonderful place to live.

  • Efficient Maintenance, But Communication Lacking

    February 10, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
    The maintenance team at IDEA1 completes work orders in a timely manner. However, communication needs improvement, as staff members are not always responsive when greeted and lack professionalism. The maintenance manager is relatively new, which may contribute to the current communication gaps.

      Hi there, thank you for your feedback. I appreciate you letting us know. If you're willing, I'd love to get more of an idea of where the communication slipped so we can improve and refrain from communication gaps in the future. Please reach out at leasing@idea1apartments.com if you'd like to address your concerns in more detail. Cheers!
