  • They will screw you over!

    August 22, 2019
    I was about to move in to these apartments and 3 days before move in date they didn’t have my apartment ready and it wasn’t even the same floor plan. Terrible service at the front desk. Nobody communicates here. I dodged a bullet.
    Review from Apartments.com
  • Pretty good Apartment

    October 7, 2015
    I actually like living here. The side of the apartments I live on is quiet. For being in Rancho Santa Margarita the rent is great. It is cheaper then the other complexes. The only thing that I dislike is that during the holidays we can not put wreaths or decorations on the door and patio. They think it looks tacky. Other than that it is great.
