I want to take a moment to recognize the amazing job our cleaning lady Alma does at our apartment complex. She consistently keeps the hallways, stairwells, and common areas spotless and fresh. You can really see the attention to detail in her work. Everything always looks organized, clean, and well cared for. It makes a big difference coming home to such a clean environment. Her hard work, reliability, and dedication definitely do not go unnoticed. I truly appreciate the effort she puts in every day to keep our apartments looking great! read more

there is no less than 0 stares I lived at The Marke for five years, and after everything I experienced, I cannot recommend this apartment community to anyone. I was never late on my rent because my payments were set up on autopay. What is frustrating is that whenever management wants money from you, they have no problem texting, calling, and emailing repeatedly. But when it comes to communicating important information that affects you financially, that same level of communication seems to disappear. During my last year there, I was charged an additional $265 per month for a month-to-month rate. Not once did management have the courtesy to call or email me to clearly explain why I was suddenly being charged hundreds of dollars more every month. After living there for five years and consistently paying my rent, I expected much better communication. The amenities were another disappointment. The bowling alley was constantly out of service, the pool was old, and other equipment and amenities seemed to work one day and be broken the next. You are paying for amenities that you cannot consistently use. I also went through an extremely disturbing incident while living there when someone fell from a balcony and landed on my patio and died. Despite how traumatic that experience was, I never caused problems for management or used it as a reason to complain about the property. At one point, I asked about transferring to a two-bedroom apartment. Management told me there was only one available and that I could only see it on a Friday. I waited a week, called that Friday morning to confirm my appointment, and suddenly I was told the apartment had already been rented. How does that happen when I was specifically told to wait until Friday to see it? In hindsight, I am very glad I did not transfer into another unit there. That same day, I gave management verbal notice that I would be moving out. They asked me to submit the notice through their portal, but, as happened often, the portal was not working. I ended up sending the notice directly by email. During my final week, I contacted management to make sure there was nothing else I needed to do before moving. I was then told that they supposedly had no record or knowledge that I was leaving and wanted to charge me for an additional full month. I had already committed to and was paying rent at my new place. I had to escalate the situation to higher management just to get the additional charge reduced. Even after escalating it, I still ended up paying for approximately 10 extra days that I did not expect to pay. Now, after moving out, they are asking me for even more money for cleaning, after already using my entire $500 security deposit. I expected to receive at least part of my deposit back, or at the very least walk away owing nothing more. I originally did not want to post a negative review after living there for so many years. However, after receiving repeated communications asking for more money, I feel other people considering The Marke should know what my experience was like. After five years as a resident who paid rent on time, I expected basic communication, reasonable treatment, and some level of appreciation for being a long-term tenant. Instead, my final experience was stressful, expensive, and extremely disappointing. I would not recommend The Marke to anyone looking for a place to live. read more

This place was an amazing home for us for four years, and it was honestly bittersweet to move out. The leasing office staff is incredible. They were always friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful, never making us feel like asking questions or requesting assistance was a burden. The property was consistently well maintained throughout all four years, and every maintenance request was handled within 24 hours (usually even sooner). The amenities are fantastic, especially the rooftop pool. We also had great parking and always felt like our cars were safe and secure. One of the things we appreciated most was how safe and respectful the community felt. In four years, I never experienced anything suspicious or concerning. We never heard our neighbors through the walls, never had issues with bugs or pests, never dealt with difficult neighbors, never had parking problems, and never felt unsafe. We also never had issues with packages getting stolen or lost. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at The Marke and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a well-managed, safe, and enjoyable place to live. read more

I want to give a huge thank you to Isabella Hood in the leasing office and Thomas from maintenance for their outstanding help. They were both incredibly professional, kind, and responsive, and they resolved an issue I had quickly and perfectly. I really appreciate Thomas going above and beyond throughout the process. As a new tenant they make me felt very welcome! read more

I have continued to renew my lease for a few years now. The community is quiet, safe, close to everything and has everything. There is a fully equipped gym that is even better than a 24hr fitness and a cool community area with a bowling alley. During the summer the roof top pool is fun and I love that there's always guest parking. Work orders get completed within 24 hours and community stays clean. Highly recommend. read more

Just moved here and so far the property is enjoyable. Freeway access is very easy, and the rooftop is nice. The office has been very welcoming. read more

Been living here for a few years now... Great staff and always willing to help. Alma is amazing!

I moved into these apartments in 2020 and initially enjoyed living here. However, the quality and management of the property have significantly declined. The community feels abandoned, with very few residents remaining. Items were stolen from my storage cage in the garage, and when I reported it to the leasing office, they questioned my entitlement to the storage space, despite my having it for four years since I moved in. While they denied having video evidence of the theft, one of their employees confirmed the stolen items were mine. On three occasions, they claimed not to have surveillance footage but showed me photos instead. More troubling, a new security guard was caught taking photos and videos of my belongings and sharing them with a friend via Facebook Messenger shortly before they were stolen. While the leasing office assured me this guard would no longer be employed, he is still working on-site. He has even attempted to provoke me by asking which apartment I live in. The property is poorly maintained--there are roaches in the hallways, which is embarrassing when hosting guests. Additionally, amenities like the bowling alley are in disrepair, with equipment breaking down after two frames, and it no longer lights up at night. Due to these issues, I will be moving out as soon as possible and cannot recommend these apartments to anyone. The lack of management accountability and declining living conditions have made this a deeply disappointing experience. $2200 times 55 equals= $121000.00 and they prefer protecting a thief then their resident so that they can avoid any possible liability. It's disgusting. read more

Update: 1 - the dog area HVAC was actually worked on and has improved the circulation in that room, it is still not the best but an improvement was seen and made. 2 - the gym issue. attached was an unused boxing gym, the apartment actually tore the wall down and expanded the public non subscription gym. they added several machines to their collection and installed them immediately. Huge capital cost to demo a wall and add machines. Huge improvement. 3 - security has improved with security manning the gate to the parking structure after hours as well as the backside fire exits. 4 - the roaches in the courtyards still exist. no improvements to the grill stations (yet?). read more

Amazing place , amazing staff , even more amazing maintenance/cleaning team specially the cleaning lady Alma . She's amazing she's like family to me . Super nice and very caring very hard worker . read more

I can't say enough great things about Cynthia Fernandez! From the moment we met her, she impressed us with her professionalism, positive attitude, and genuine care for our needs. In our six years of renting, we've worked with quite a few leasing agents--but Cynthia is hands-down the best we've ever encountered. She made our touring experience smooth, informative, and actually enjoyable. Cynthia was extremely knowledgeable, answered all our questions with patience, and made us feel confident in our decision-making. What really stood out was her exceptional follow-up--she stayed in touch consistently without ever being pushy, and she always made sure we had everything we needed to move forward comfortably. Cynthia goes above and beyond in every aspect. If you're looking for someone who truly cares, is incredibly organized, and will make your leasing experience seamless, ask for Cynthia. She's a total pro and an absolute gem to work with. Thank you, Cynthia! read more

Been here for years, almost no compliments due to the great staff. Shout out to Cynthia for always been so helpful. Nice community to call home read more

This is a wonderful place to live. My family and I have been loving it here for 4 years. The office staff is wonderful and the maintenance team is amazing! There are great eateries in proximity. The rooftop is very modern and awesome for hanging out at the pool, bowling, or working out at the beautiful gym. read more

I have been living here with my wife for almost 3 years. Honestly, there have not been much negative things to say. The staff had always been amazing, i want to give special credit to Isaac (he's no longer working there but he was awesome), Cynthia and Isabella, as well as Thomas from the maintenance staff. Our concerns were handled in a timely, effective and professional manner. Thanks to all the staff at the marke for making our time there comfortable, welcoming and as stress free as possible. read more

I have interacted with the staff , Isabella , Cynthia and Erica . They are helpful every time I come in. I like their customer service .

I have lived in many apartments, and I have lived here for almost 7 years and there isn't anywhere I'd rather live. The leasing staff really care about the residents, not just making money. I have seen many staff come and go, some better than others. Isaac is one of my favorite people on the planet. He always makes sure I'm taken care of. There was a point in time recently that he was helping at a different property and it wasn't the same! Isaac is the heart of the Marke for sure! I heard from many residents how sad they were. Cynthia is great as well. Really hope Isaac never leaves us. Garrett was definitely a fave as well, but he is now at another property. Susie was a great manager and now we have Josh, who has already been making more positive changes here. Our maintenance team are top of the line! Huber runs a tight ship and makes sure everything is taken care of quickly. Thomas is always super helpful and always has a smile. The leasing staff and maintenance folks always go the extra mile. I've never experienced such thing at any other apartment complex I've lived at over the last 20 years. The one thing I would improve on is the resident gym. We have a professional gym that requires a membership, and we have a resident side. Unfortunately, the resident side is not nearly as nice. We could use an eliptical or two, and some upgraded equipment. On the plus side we have a boxing gym, squat rack and free weights. read more

I have lived at the Marke for two years now and I have nothing but fantastic things to say about the place and the staff here. The amenities are wonderful and the events the leasing office puts on are great (TSITP finale watch party, Mother's Day mimosas, gift wrapping station during the holidays)! All the staff are fantastic and thoughtful and truly what makes the Marke the best place to live! Cynthia gave us a tour when we first moved in and she greeted residents by their name as we passed them, which really stood out to me as most places only do virtual tours. Most leasing office staff at other places I've lived are there more to support new residents, but the leasing office here cares just as much or even more about their current residents. My must haves were parking, in unit washer/dryers, AC, big closets, and a nice tub and this place had it all plus more! I highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking read more

I've lived at The Marke for a year now, and what truly makes this place stand out is the amazing management and staff. Cynthia has been incredibly helpful and supportive throughout my time here--she always takes the time to answer questions, follow up, and make sure everything is handled with care. Her kindness and professionalism have made a big difference, especially during stressful moments. Isabella is also wonderful--always welcoming and kind whenever I stop by the office. It's clear that the team here genuinely cares about residents and wants us to feel supported. The maintenance team is just as great--they're responsive, respectful, and always take care of requests quickly and with kindness. They're the reason I'm renewing. I'm grateful to live in a place where the staff actually listens and makes you feel at home. I really hope the management doesn't change any time soon. read more

Just wanted to give a shout-out to the older security guard--I've seen him walking every floor and checking each car, and it really makes me feel safe living here. Also, big thanks to the cleaning crew and gardeners! They're always so friendly and do a great job keeping the place looking nice. Honestly, all of this shows how awesome the management team is. Thanks for everything you do! read more

Don't be fooled by the roof top and amenities, this place is simply just trash. The new manager Susie is the worst manager this place has had in a long time. Everything is always broken from gate doors to the amenities, to the pool speakers. The complex is always dirty and smells horrible. Cars are being broken into. Stay away!!!! read more

Came as a walk-in, without much expectation, and came out feeling so welcomed by the community. Immediately when we walked in, Suzie greeted us and quickly accommodated us. Keep in mind, our living situation and what we were looking for was far from simple. Despite that, she was a great listener and communicator! After our productive chat, she offered to squeeze us into a tour with Danielle. Danielle was also very helpful and accommodating. She had high energy and a friendly attitude. She was happy to answer ALL our questions and showed us a couple of the amenities we had specific questions about. She gave a very enjoyable tour. Overall had a phenomenal experience at the leasing office. We're looking forward to the upcoming year at the marke! read more

The Marke is an amazing and affordable place to live in Souther California. We moved from across the country and the management team has been nothing but helpful Isaac specifically in the leasing office was extremely professional and helpful, guiding us through the process. The marke should be proud to have him! read more

Stay away. I'm writing this review a bit late. I stayed here from July 2018 to July 2019. Couldn't wait to get out. It's alluring at first with the rooftop amenities, but the million other things that go wrong will make you want to leave. I had to come up with a new review because the one I originally wrote in google docs was 4 pages single spaced: all complaints. Parking structure is a nightmare. It's barely narrow enough for 2 normal sized cars to pass each other. People drive insanely fast despite the ANNOYING speed bumps. If you drive anything like a bmw m3 you're going to absolutely hate driving through the structure. Truck/SUV drivers fly passed and park horribly so that half their truck is in the driving lane. People abuse the fire lanes outside and I CONSTANTLY had to ask people to move their cars just so I could get into the structure itself. Complained to the staff many, many times about this to the point where they started getting annoyed. Well, if you actually did anything about it, I would've stopped complaining. Most of the residents are rich overseas travelers/students who violate all rules, throw their trash on the floor as if a roomba is following them (even in the hallways). Half the people can't even be bothered to open the trash chute and throw it in there, but instead simply leave their trash bags on the floor next to the chute. Too many doors and different keys. I know this sounds dumb, but you need the key fob to get into the complex itself, then a garage key to open the hallway doors (which are heavy and close fast, not ideal when carrying grocery bags, let alone large items). Plus the garage keys don't work half the time and the staff takes a month to fix it. Mail room is cool, but horribly mismanaged. All the slots of full, people steal packages, and the staff doesn't care about your stuff. I'm skipping all the other garbage... Here's the kicker. Never received a notice to tell them I was moving out (nor did my roommate). So we were forced to pay an extra 2 months rent WHILE NOT LIVING THERE. When I told the manager that we didn't get the notice, she opened her binder, pulled out a perfect original that has clearly never seen the light of day, and her response was "the original is right here." That's it. That was her whole argument. How does an original in a binder show that the notice was delivered? Why wasn't there a follow up? Don't you want to know if your tenants are staying or leaving? Idiots. That's the type of service you will get after you sign your life away. But don't worry, they're SUPER NICE about everything before you sign. Total waste of money. I wouldn't come back here if they paid me. read more

If you are looking for a high end and upscale luxury apartment with outstanding amenities, this would be the place for you. I have a friend, who lives in the Penthouse of this building. He has been trying to get me to move in here. First of all, this place is in a desirable area - South Coast Metro. It is also a short drive to Fashion Island, Newport Beach, Balboa, Irvine, Huntington Beach. It has valet service for friends/family 24/7. If the parking Is full, there is a parking structure next door and it is free. This place is modern/contemporary in design and has open floor plan. Some of the luxury amenities are: 24/7 doorman, valet service, club house, dry cleaning service, gated community that can only be access with key fob, fitness center, BBQ area, bowling alley, massage/manicure/pedicure spa room, concierge service for your package, furnished apartments, pool table, table tennis, shuffle board, card table, housekeeping, private cabanas, outdoor theater and salt water pool. Also their roof top is amazing, which you can see amazing views of the city This place is not cheap. You pay for what you get. 1 bed room, 1 bath $2100- $2300 2 beds, 2 baths $2600-$2900 3 beds, 2 baths $3500-$4000 They have concierge service with onsite management/maintenance. Overall, this place will appeal to people, who wants luxurious living, but doesn't want to maintain a estate home or mansion For myself, I rather buy a home with the amount I would spent here vs paying rent. However, It is nice to see how other wealthy people live. I can't wait to return for another day of upscale living read more

The Marke - Expired elevator permit - Apartments Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Been living here for over a year and it's been the easiest experience for me. I've had several prior leasing companies who were AWFUL. The application and move in process was super easy and flexible. Leasing agents Amanda, Garrett, and Isaac always help me when I need something, and are always open to have a conversation!! Maintenance is always super quick to respond, even on my after hours lockout. They're great! My favorite thing about living here is how close it is to everything. Every food option you could ever imagine is within 5 minutes. South coast plaza is 5 minutes, the beach is 20 minutes, the list goes on. If I had to complain about anything I would say it just sucks that the bowling breaks, but it's in an apartment building so how high can your expectations be... Lol. Anyway, love the community and the events on the rooftop where I get to meet my neighbors and have drinks. Would recommend a tour & living here! read more

I love living here, the amenities are great! Always super clean, roof top pool is my favorite spots! The staff is great and very welcoming! I refer all my friends to The Marke! read more

Time to update the review again. Dangerous area. Neighbor upstairs terrorizes me with banging sounds for months : I even bought expensive camera to record the noises. The other day he threatened to beat my ass if I keep complaining on him that's recorders in the video and then there were more threats when I bumped into him at the complex . I heard him beating his wife up and threatening to her - brought everything up to the leasing office . They don't resolve anything : they don't fix the issue between us , refuse to move him or give me another apartment , since I live here for three years and my rent is not as high as the new rent for newcomers . Also I live by the loud street not on the sunny side - obviously they don't want to move me or him because it's harder to rent these apartments . I don't have intent to move out since it's very close to my work but I am also tired to listen to banging noises of hummer , gym equipment and basket ball, also he yells sometimes slur speech and stomps during night . I don't complaint on the their infant baby that I can hear all the time as well, just the noises that make my apartment shake because it's heavy gear that he drops on the floor (my ceiling ), but I also feel like paying so much money for not having a peace is terrible . The other girl got moved to the first floor and was forced to pay more money because of her kid that stomped for a day (not even a month , in my case it's been several months if not year) . You know why they moved Dina and her baby right away but don't move my neighbor upstairs ? Exactly she was old tenant whose rent was lower then the tenant's below her that just moved in. They don't care about your problems or helping you out as along as you pay $200 more a month . Whose rent is higher - that one can cause any inconvenience. I am having. Mental breakdown at this point . Just filed a restraining order that soon will be served to that dude upstairs. Changing two stars to one star. So corporate office , Jeff, supposedly is calling me to resolve my issue . Ends up our conversation very irritated with words "you are living in a community there will be noises, get used to it!" And hangs up on me without saying "goodbye " . duh, those noises are : car noises from the street, barking dogs , baby above my room crying day and night , people having sex very loudly - and I CAN handle and tolerate it . BUT shaking walls from the heavy metal banging on the ceiling at 3AM above my bedroom that wake me up in a cold sweat - NO, thanks . In previous call on Monday threatened that my resident file will have compromising information because The neighbor upstairs threatened to rape me if I keep complaining on him as I do for the past 9months - claimed few days ago (after I filed a restraining order on him that I harass him ) when he's the one harassing me for the past 9 month and being racist towards me and discriminated me because I am an immigrant form another country - wows!!!! And last but not least despite all the evidence as a text messages and screenshot where the security guard was hitting on me and I was softly gently in a feminine way rejecting him (like you are cute , but I am dating someone etc ) and sending me naked pic and me getting mad at him etc - I was told "your word against his ." Nah , sir, that's evidence on paper . Not going to extend my stay at her next year and don't advice to anyone to move in here at all. Unless something drastically changes read more

What can I say but wow! I was amazed by this place. Susie & her team were amazing! Made me feel so welcomed and comfortable during my stay. I highly recommend if anyone wants to live here. Please come lease here asap!!!! read more

Isaac and Amanda sold me to my 2 bedroom apartment. great leasing staff open 7 days a week.

Looking to pay over $3,000 a month for a supposed "luxury" apartment that can't even afford to insulate their floors/ceilings up to code so that you can't hear every single footstep your upstairs neighbor takes? the Marke is for you! This complex has no regard for loyal tenants who have always paid rent on time & never had any issues, they'll serve you a comply or quit lease notice without warning because someone is complaining that they can hear the apartment above them quite literally living. They are discriminatory of anyone who is a parent and will call their child a "situation" and displace them and their family with no option but to up and move to a smaller and MORE EXPENSIVE unit. This company will screw you over with a smile on their face. Save your money and look elsewhere, these apartments are trashy. read more

Just moved in a week ago and the transition was seamless. Manny is excellent over at the leasing office and was always quick to answer any questions we had, as well as going above and beyond to work us into his schedule with such short notice. The apartments are clean, the amenities are immaculate, the rooftop is breathtaking, and above all the people are friendly. read more

Definenly not the most pleasent phone call with the leasing office, I live in an Irvine company property for couple of years now and I have to say they are so professional and respectful. The Marke management company hires young kids I would say, so unprofessional and they lack professionalism. I actually love this complex, it's beautiful and was really looking forward to moving there one day however dealing with the staff made me realize how Irvine company is totally different experience. They need to hire more mature professional people in their leasing office read more

I am completing the final steps for the application process at The Marke. Finding a home can be extremely stressful, especially during this pandemic. However, thanks Desmond Anderson, the entire process with smooth and fairly quick. I had a 2-3 week crunch, as I was relocating for work, from the Bay to the OC. That said, though I was 6 hours away, I felt relieved and was assured by Des that he would guide me throughout the entire process. He was very prompt with getting back to me via email and phone even through the holidays. Communications with the right leasing associate is super important to me because this certainly sets the tone, and it's not every day that you meet individuals who have the great aptitude to help, not just because it's their job, but because they genuinely want to help :) Best of luck to all! read more

Hello there I don't want to go into all the horrible stories about this place someone would classify as a place to "live" its better compared to trash but all I have to say is if you want a Peaceful, safe, secure, friendly , reliable and amazing place to call home I would suggest a box underneath the freeway in comparison to this place If anyone asked me where to live in Santa Ana I would suggest anywhere but here with a 5 page essay on why not Thank you to the amazing staff and policies of the Marke you guys really made this review that much easier to post :) One star is honestly way toooo kind read more
