    This has been hands down my favorite apartment & community to be apart of! It feels like a resort, the property is so well taken care of thanks to Dora and her management! I also felt super safe which was important for me since I was living alone. Also I would go out of town for days and my packages would still be at my door! The apartment was everything I needed, very spacious, has heater & AC, newly remodeled, stainless steel appliances, even has a walk-in closet! Not only was the complex itself amazing, but the location is unbeatable walking distance to groceries, foodie approved restaurants, coffee shops, etc. & 10 min from the beach! If you're considering living here I promise you'll love it! I'm only leaving bc I'm moving to another state but I wish I could stay in Costa Mesa forever!

    What does it really feel and sound and look like living here at Mesa Pines. Where do I begin.... we moved in on Jan 14th 2017 and were right away greated by Dora and her family-Dora is our landlord- welcoming us to this Diamond of a neighborhood nestled quietly inside the Heart of Costa Mesa. Dora was so caring, sincere and excited for us Moving in. From that first walk under the beautiful tall trees and the well maintained landscape the feeling was one of peace and calm. Then just as nature would have it the family of squirrels were just having fun and were so welcoming and came by and said hello and then went on to play. The sounds of the birds chirping was in sync with the wonderful Southern California breeze that it was so harmonious and pleasant to our ears. Upon entering our apartment home it was exactly that nice high ceilings, a wonderful patio with extra space and a wonderful kitchen. Now let's talk about the amenities. The pool is heated and the Jacuzzi is always perfect temperature. And right next to the pool is a super nice gas BBQ and next to that is the most quaint and cleanest laundry room I have ever seen and used. This past year has been the best rental living I have ever experienced and this all comes down to the relentless management of Dora and her true love for this property were she and her wonderful family live also and take pride and it shows by the amazing community she has created. It is truly an extraordinary neighborhood with amazing neighbors and it is a true home and sanctuary. Recommend living here to have a safe and peaceful place you can start your next journey.

    I lived in one of the ground floor studio apartments on my own for one year at Mesa Pines, and really enjoyed my experience! This complex is small and very quiet, which is much different than most other Costa Mesa apartment complexes. I never had any major maintenance issues, and all requests were fulfilled very quickly. Parking is great, and there were always plenty of spots for my guests as well. Never ran into any issues with deliveries as well, your packages are safe on your doorstep here! The property manager Dora is wonderful, and really does a great job beyond her official job description by fostering community within the complex. I had to move due to a job change, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Mesa Pines and would give this complex my highest recommendation to anyone in the rental market.

After searching for months for a new place, knowing our time to move was coming soon, nothing felt right... "Self-guided tours", ambiguous answers to questions, hidden fees, and unresponsive agents. From the moment we first stepped on the Eastside Apartments property, we felt genuinely welcomed by Tanner and got a great tour of the grounds. We were impressed by the combination of clear communication, professionalism, personalism, thoroughness, and attention to detail in our requests that Tanner provided... quick to respond, always followed up after to make sure we were satisfied with the answer/solution, and was very patient with us through the entire application process and move-in procedure. I am a Customer Care Manager and would be THRILLED to have someone like Tanner on my team. Honestly, I feel like I've even learned a thing or two from how Tanner handled everything with us! EASTSIDE APARTMENTS, you should be PROUD to have TANNER as a representative of your company. Another person definitely worth mentioning is RAUL, who I believe is the Maintenance Manager. We had an issue with our shower right when we moved in, and Raul showed up first thing Monday morning, with a very pleasant demeanor, and had it fixed in less than 5 minutes. Incredible. Would give more stars if I could. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone I know, or anyone who's looking for a place to live!

For being located right off Superior, I always worried about the noise- but have come to find it minimal. They also recently upgraded the sign for the apartments and repainted everything, keeping this old complex looking like new. They offer month to month, 6 month, or year leases and have been upgrading each room with new countertops, carpet, cabinets, and appliances.

The property itself is absolutely stunning -- beautifully maintained, peaceful, and designed in a way that truly feels like a resort. From the pools to the walking paths, everything has that "Waldorf-style" atmosphere that makes you exhale the moment you step outside. What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. The residents here have been incredibly warm and friendly -- it's the kind of community where people smile, say hello, and actually make you feel welcome right away. And the staff? Truly exceptional. I have to start with the café team -- MJ, Jesse, Anna, and now Jordan. From day one, they've made us feel at home, almost like family. They go above and beyond in a way that's rare to find, and it doesn't go unnoticed. And a special note about Anna... I may have to retire from making my own soups, because hers are honestly some of the best I've ever had. You can tell there's real care and talent behind everything they serve. The head chef deserves major credit as well -- even though I haven't had the chance to meet him yet, the quality speaks for itself. The maintenance staff has also been outstanding -- professional, polite, and incredibly responsive. Saeed helped us recently, and it was honestly one of the best maintenance experiences we've ever had. Concierge Chuck is another standout -- always helpful, friendly, and on top of everything. We're also really looking forward to more of the community events, which already seem thoughtfully done and a great way to bring people together. I had to come back and add that the security team and the front gate crew are outstanding! Well, now I have to come back and add that the people in guest services are fantastic! I want to mention Mark and Pedro and hope the Irvine company knows what an amazing staff you put together! So far, living here has exceeded our expectations in every way. It's not just a beautiful place -- it's a genuinely welcoming community, and that makes all the difference. Well done, Irvine Company!

Unfortunately, our experience over time has been marked by repeated safety, habitability, and quality-of-life issues that were never fully resolved. Over the years, we dealt with car break-ins, lack of security camera coverage, repeated noise disturbances, smoking infiltration affecting asthma, and water damage -- including a cracked pipe that caused significant damage and took weeks to be properly addressed. We also experienced a prolonged period where our garage was unusable due to hazardous gasoline and race car fluid leaking from a neighboring garage. That incident resulted in personal property being damaged and ruined, with no compensation from insurance or management. There were also serious safety incidents in our building, including third-floor squatting, suspected drug activity, and a SWAT intervention and arrest. In April 2025, we requested a wellness check on an elderly resident who was later found deceased. Despite police presence and the removal of a body from the building, automated promotional community messages continued shortly afterward, which felt extremely insensitive and highlighted a lack of situational awareness. Noise issues were a recurring problem. Most recently, starting in October 2025, new tenants in Apartment 305 have a child who runs throughout the day. We contacted the office multiple times and made several noise complaints, but the issue has continued without resolution. After documenting these issues for years and providing a comprehensive, written summary, we requested to end our lease early without penalty, especially given that another tenant in our building (Apartment 208) was previously allowed to do so due to unresolved foundational issues. Management declined our request and would only offer a partial waiver while still requiring us to pay additional days. It's disappointing to spend nearly a decade as responsible, communicative tenants and feel that the cumulative impact of these issues -- particularly safety and habitability -- was not meaningfully considered. We are sharing this experience so future renters can make an informed decision.
