I think, overall, this is a solid apartment complex. This is especially after being here for 1.25…read moreyears now. Not much has changed since my last review edit, but I haven't really had any other major issues I needed addressed by management. I just live here quietly, and my neighbors are largely quiet as well. My only real concern almost every day is just getting to the freeway. The turn onto the main street is a huge pain, and can take 5-10 minutes just to get off of the apartment's street onto Chapman during the heaviest traffic times. This is annoying since we have no dedicated turns (light or stop) to allow us to turn left to get to the freeway, so you have to turn right and then pull a U turn at some point soon in order to get to the freeway. It is a major pain, but that is in no way a fault of the complex owners/managers. Another thing is that there is a regular occurrence of the water being turned off for periods of time. I don't know why there are so many issues with the plumbing, but it doesn't seem normal.

I lived here back in 2005-2006, and it was a total nightmare. I wouldn't recommend this slum to my…read moreworst enemy!!! I moved here because I accepted a job in Santa Ana and needed to find a place fast- in 1 week- so I thought this one would do... It was awful. First there were minor annoyances... the neighbors who sat out on the patio and drank while their kids screamed and knocked over furniture for hours until they go drunk enough to go scream at them (yes, we heard it all). We paid for an extra parking space (yes, we had to PAY for parking... in ORANGE COUNTY!) and they oversold the spaces and we had to complain. No one was allowed in the pool area except for residents. My mother came to visit from out of town, stayed a month (which I had to get permission for her to stay with us) and she could not use the pool. Stray cats roamed the property and used the space under the stairs as litterboxes (which smelled AWFUL). My shower broke (no hot water), and when I went to complain, the owner (who was at least 90 years old) and instead of sending someone to fix it, he said "Well, you did turn it to 'H', right? You know you have to wait a while for it to warm up". I was infuriated... I told him that I know I am Female, but that doesn't make me retarded, and I'm quite sure I knew how to use a shower. They sent someone up to fix it, but I went without a shower for two days. One Sunday night a note appears on the door at 5pm that says "We will be replacing the piping in all units with copper piping, starting tomorrow. It could take up to 20 days to complete." Already, I was annoyed for the lack of notice, and the fact my mom was visiting from out of town, and they were going to tear my place apart. At 8:15 pm there was a knock at the door. One of the ladies from the office is standing there. "I wanted to let you know they'll be starting your apartment tomorrow". The next day we went to work. My husband calls around 7pm. "Um, there are holes in all the walls... Not under the sinks like they said. And there is water coming from the ceiling. They put a bucket under it, but it's only catching part of it. It looks like the leak has moved and there's water coming from other parts. It's over your DVD case and CDs." I asked him to move the furniture and put another bucket under the other leak, and try not to worry. They'll fix it, right? He called back an hour later. "They came and fixed the leak, and poked holes in the ceiling to drain the water. The rug and carpet are both kind of wet." I got home, and there were holes in every single wall of my apartment EXCEPT in the bedrooms. The family room had at least 5 holes in the walls, and the ceiling is stained and ruined from one wall to the other from the leak. There were insulation and dry wall crumbs and wood splinters on every surface of the bathroom, and carpeting. All of my furniture and belongings were stacked in the center of the living room, on the couch, coffee table, turntable, on the dining table, dining chairs... And the office.. our office was so full of stuff you couldn't walk into it. The linen and hall closets had to be empties and holes cut in them too. And the shelves were ripped out of the linen closet and left in a heap on the floor of the closet, nails sticking out. All of the linens and items from the closet were stacked in the office chairs, the desk, on top of the printer, on the floor, on the book cases, everywhere. The next morning I stopped by the office to inquire on when they would have everything repaired and back to normal. "We need to have the city inspect everything before we patch". She says. "Do you mean that you need to do all 100 units before the walls can be patched?" I ask cautiously. "I'm not sure, but I think so" she says. I laughed about it all day the first day. The second day I worried. The third day I cried. And somehow crawling around the attic these morons disconnected my internet connection. And even though they finished the pipes in my apartment they had to access the attic through my apartment, so every day they traipsed in white dust and black dirt. They unplugged my things and left them unplugged. And lord knows what else they did while I was at work. And maybe I should have been grateful I wasn't my neighbors downstairs. They had a hole from their living room to the outside. I saw it on the outside of the building. The apartment was like this for 4 weeks. So when they finally came in and painted the walls, the paint they used is flat, when the original paint was glossy. So there were spots of non-shiny paint everywhere, even above the shower. The ceiling repair was really bad. They only cut out part of the damaged ceiling (leaving other damaged parts), put dry wall up, put the popcorn stuff on and painted over it with white paint. The yellow stains still showed through the paint, & the popcorn was applied sparingly and looked odd compared to the rest of the ceiling. I moved out a week later.

Warning to Prospective Tenants of Rancho Monterey Apartments…read more I love my neighbors and the location, but I wish someone had told me what was really going on before I signed my lease 5 years ago. The parking situation here is an absolute disaster, and management is doing nothing to fix it. There are clear rules posted on the property: Resident Parking Only, No Commercial Vehicles, 72-Hour Maximum Parking. None of these are enforced. Right now, we have: * Abandoned cars sitting for months in spaces we pay for * Commercial vans and mobile detailing businesses treating the lot like a free storage yard * Tenants parking 4-5 vehicles each, including motorcycles, work trucks, and equipment vans * Out-of-state and expired-tag cars parked for weeks while residents drive around hoping for a spot Management is rarely in the office and emails go unanswered. This isn't about attacking anyone personally--we understand everyone has their challenges--but we are paying premium California rent with no protection or enforcement. Five years ago, there were decals to track resident vehicles and it worked. Now, the system is gone, and so is our parking. There are auto detailing companies, contractors, event staging, etc all sorts of businesses being run out of this property while their commercial vehicles take our parking to run their for-profit business. They take the hundreds or gallons of water from the units and empty their trash into our dumpsters at night so it's just a matter of time until the rent goes up for us that actually PAY to live here. Look at these photos. This is DAY AND NIGHT here for the past SEVEN TO EIGHT MONTHS. Management lives here so it's a CHOICE to "not see" this and do anything about this. It doesn't stop at parking. The dumpsters overflow halfway through the week because outside businesses dump their trash here. The pools are locked down. Amenities we pay for are disappearing while other people who don't even live here abuse the property. We're not asking for luxury, just basic fairness. Until commercial vehicles are towed, abandoned cars are cleared, and parking rules are enforced, this is a bait-and-switch situation. We all moved in with the understanding this was a protected, residents-only community. What we got instead is a storage lot for people running businesses and leaving junk cars on site while the rest of us pay the price. We are posting this because about 22 other residents have agreed: enough is enough. We'll gladly remove this review when we see action taken. Until then, consider yourself warned: you're paying full price here for half the value. Oh and all that hard work you put in at your job, well... save some energy for when you get home as you won't have parking INSIDE the property like you signed a lease to receive.

Four months ago, I would've given this place a 1-star rating. My partner and I planned to move out…read moreby Spring of 2026 due to unresponsive, poor management and unmaintained property. We were optimistic when we learned the building was bought by a new company in January of 2026. We held off on moving out due to convenience; it's close to our workplace, in the middle of four cities, Angels Stadium, Orange Circle, Disneyland, etc. We held off on moving out. Kevin has made significant improvements in the past two months, unlike the management in the past five years. He's passionate about revitalizing the building, which is why we decided to stay and move to an upgraded unit. Kevin has been responsive and has attended to all our needs. We've already seen major changes, including replacing leaking lines in the parking structure and working on broken pipes. They've also removed fallen palm trees and replaced broken electrical doors that would slam during windy nights, keeping this place trash-free around the residence. Trees have been trimmed, giving this place a much cleaner look. We're excited to see the future changes at Sunrise Fountain Apartments.

I'm happy to share the new management team has already made a huge impact and been nothing but AMAZING! It's great to finally have clear communication, receive updates in advance, and see the changes being made to enhance the property! I'm excited to see final results as I am truly impressed with all the recent changes they made to improve the property in as little as a month! I would also like to recognize Kevin in the leasing office for his welcoming and professional approach. Each time I've visited the office, he has been attentive, responsive, and genuinely cares about the residents, which makes a big difference! I cannot thank Kevin enough for being thorough and efficient. Overall, it's been a very positive experience under the new management, and I appreciate the effort being put into enhancing the community. I highly recommend if you are looking for your next home that you tour and see the property for yourself

He lived there and provided maintenance very timely. He was at the office five days a week. We thought this was great. He also knew all the residents and always said hi. Then after living there for about 9 months, he is gone. New management comes in. I saw about three different ladies walking around and also at least two guys. No one ever introduced themselves. They reduced the office days to only two days a week which was incredibly inconvenient. For maintenance calls, they were also incredibly slow, like I've never experienced before. Things would take weeks because of them only being open two days a week. Absolutely ridiculous. The last 2 months that I lived there our dishwasher did not work. I reached out about this like 5 times over 6 weeks. The last two weeks I obviously just gave up because I was moving out anyways. Some of my glasses were completely ruined by this dishwasher. Then after 6 weeks or so one of the management ladies comes over one day to look at our dishwasher and this nice but dumb ass lady has the nerve to say "oh yeah it hasn't been working for two weeks right?" No, bitch, no. - the walls of this place are really thin - the car gate was always broken and would beep all night long - the ceilings in the bedrooms are popcorn ceilings!!! Get rid of that shit!!!!!!!!!!!!

nothing but hell and then his regional manager stepped in in February said I could break my lease understood that I had not been treated right but he wanted to fix things now we're at July and nether stepped in and he's trying to back this person who has taken things from my apartment when I'm not here thrown it away it was installed by a professionals etc not to mention how he treats a person all the way across the board it's like being terrorized in my own apartment I don't feel safe here they never answer there after our calls there is nobody that ever comes here that isn't that piece of crap the day of said he has good reviews b******* I know somebody lived in another apartment he was at he's a horrible person he must be married to this business because there's no reason this person is still here as a manager one day of maybe they say that they have 24 hours after our calls no they say they pay the water trash no they don't okay these partners were supposedly upgraded just crap when I moved in look like a childhood pay the trim on the bottom there was horribleness and every time they were given a chance to fix it they made it worse they installed a different toilet so I can actually sit on it and the one before was square there was piss and hair behind where the other toilet was the shape of it and that's how they're installer left it and they call it discoloration Just recently I had to get the Orange Police department here to tell them the maintenance man came in here on the two days they're supposed to paint took my handicap toilet seat and threw it away and put the old one on and didn't even bolt it don't know how to express this that I waited long time to get those things installed because he had kept me from getting it done that's not how you do reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities you don't have a person like him around them saying I've seen you walk without your Walker please God help me get out of here safely without another moment of having everybody on somebody that might as well have a restraining order and never step foot within a hundred feet of me that's how bad it is here so you tell me is there a management that cares about these properties oh it's only got 29 units so just leave us here and don't even answer any of the after-hour calls Wish I had one thing good from the beginning I got here not a f****** thing not even unpacked okay I don't want to this place is drove me crazy and has already had my problems with my health my mental health my physical health and it's worse since I've been here I'm a prisoner of my apartment you know what sucks they got paid a lot of money for a person like me to move in here a lot of deposits the government has stepped in and make people like me who might have worked all my life retired during covid and had a chance at having an apartment this is not the chance I wanted to have myself be a prisoner because of the management maintenance whatever he is a stalker person goes out of his way to bother me hurt me and cause me troubles and this place is ridiculous when I've been not remodeled pain on it it was horrible look like things are in the paint chewed up trim every time I gave him a chance to fix it no they took the toilet seat last time Don't move in here there's something wrong with their pipes they won't put train on it the floors are hot it's terrible Hoping I move as soon as possible when I find a better property which shouldn't be too hard and they said that was okay yes break our lease whatever they would do anything to get me out of here before head comes in and just rip them for every ordinance they went against for disabled human rights everything and then this included a few police reports I've done on the manager Never trust Fdc management of these properties and the other property harbor lights Cambridge yeah cuz they're not the same management company this one their own little circle of circle jerking it and you can call their main office and call it regional manager and he'll step away and I'll leave notes that are just so disgraceful how they try to cover s*** up and I have a $4,500 deposit does that make sense These pictures are what they call discoloration behind the toilet seat after they installed a v-shaped toilet bowl and that was a square one that was there before it was a quarter inch thick of piss hair and something reddish not sure what it was but that's not discoloration and if that's how people think that they can fix something and install something and walk away with that and be a property and they're managing it like that disgraceful that's not not discoloration and how dare them put it down like that and that manager walked away thinking he's going to get away with that no I have pictures I have a caregiver

Lived here just shy of 5 years with my husband. Was hesitant because of reviews of this place but…read moreit was not what it seemed. For being so close to downtown Fullerton and the college I was expecting it to get loud on the weekends. It was always nice and quiet. Parking was annoying if you had two cars for the one bedroom considering you only got one parking spot. We eventually moved into a two bedroom so once we had the second spot it was worry free. Mikey the property manager was always very nice and personable. Sometimes she was forgetful over minor things but when it came to leaks, something broken, or problems it always fixed right away. The things that sold me about this complex as well is that the rent was not outrageous like the complex's right next door. We did not have to sign a lease it was just month to month so when moving out you just have to give a 30 day notice. No pet rent, and we had three cats at the time. The only cons would be there's only one wall AC Unit in the living room so it would get hot during summer in the bedrooms. And also the shared laundry. But that was not a deal breaker cause the laundry room was always well kept.
