September 3, 2025Leaving at The Breakwaters Apartments has been a great experience for my growing family and myself. It is a super peaceful and calm community.

September 1, 2025Outdoor pests like snails, fleas, and mosquitos. Indoor pests like roaches in the entire building I'm in (my neighbors say they experience them too). You have sent an exterminator to my apartment but I think the whole building needs to be sprayed, not just my unit because I didn't have roaches till I moved here. My toilet tank doesn't fill up fast and I already sent a maintenance request in today. I am trying to like where I live but constantly have issues...like last year we had a mold ...problem due to leaky problems in the piping in the walls.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
NIGHTMARE
August 25, 2025Avoid The Breakwater in Huntington Beach at all costs. My apartment was infested with cockroaches, making it legally uninhabitable, yet management ignored repeated complaints and failed to provide proper pest control. Their lack of action shows a blatant disregard for health, safety, and California tenant law. When I moved out, they attempted to charge me excessive and unexplained fees from my security deposit. When I asked for itemized invoices, I was met with dismissive responses like “I have ...no idea, that’s not something my team does.” This is not just unprofessional—it’s illegal and unethical. Management at The Breakwater consistently fails to maintain the property, respond to serious health hazards, or respect tenant rights. If you value your health, your money, and your sanity, do not rent here.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com

August 7, 2025The space and units are beautiful but the parking could be improved. the kind of people that move here needs to be improved and management should have better judgement when it comes to problematic neighbors. if one provides video evidence and the other neighbors story does not align, they should use common senseReview from Apartments.com

August 4, 2025I love living at The Breakwater! The public spaces are neat and well groomed. The pool, jacuzzi, and fitness center enhances quality of life. The management and maintenance team are timely and responsive. The rent is reasonably priced. I highly recommend The Breakwater.Review from Apartments.com
