    Pros: Nice, Spacious Interiors, Clean Exteriors, 24/7 Security Cons: Thin Walls (You Can Hear Your Neighbors Having Sex), Loud Water Heaters, Loud Water Pipes, Loud Children Screaming in the Courtyards from 9AM-7PM daily, No Spa, 6x6 Pool (3ft deep and not the pool displayed on the banner outside lol), Small Gym & Old-Outdated Equipment, Marijuana Smoke Coming Through the Ventilation, Marijuana Smoke Coming Through Windows. Do Not Ever Make A Complaint Because You Will Face Retaliation Even If You Are An Honest, Hard-Working Single Mother That Has NEVER Caused Issues and is Super Friendly with Everyone. I Even Help My Neighbors Put Their Trash in the Chutes For Them. :) No Dogs Allowed (even as a visitor or service dog) but 10+ Residents Have Dogs on the 102-108, 201-208, 301-308, 401-408 side. I moved here to be closer to my son and his school but I moved into the wrong school zone and his special needs bus cannot service him here so I'm looking forward to moving when my lease is up. I'm happy to leave behind the noisy and smelly apartment I've paid $2400/month to live in... my children and I literally sleep together in the living room because the rooms are too loud. The master bedroom's walls creak and pop due to the plastic pvc water pipes and the water heater that sounds like it's about to burst (which has been drained for sediment 3x in 10 months). The guest bedroom shares a wall with the front door so anytime someone slams their door, the bedroom walls shake. Scared my kids out of their room so yup- we just sleep together in the living room. Pearl La Floresta and Calligraphy Urban are the epitome of luxury apartments with the resort style feel. I'd start there first or at least consider those complexes if you're looking at The Pointe. Good luck to you and your family, and God Bless!

    My fiancé and I have lived at The Pointe for almost a year and a half now. We have had nothing but GREAT experiences here. We both work in Irvine and the commute can be a pain and we were looking to move out towards Newport/Irvine to be closer after our 1 year came up, but we both consecutively decided that it was worth the drive to stay in Brea, at The Pointe, because we love it so much. I'm not sure why there are such negative reviews on here because I have not run into anything major, nor has my fiancé, but I will address them and my outlook on them. 1. No parking/one space per unit. - Yes, you only get one space allotted to you per unit, which can be a pain because these apartments aren't the most inexpensive and the majority of people do not live alone, HOWEVER, there is A TON of parking everywhere outside of the "resident parking" structure. The Office Parking structure directly underneath the complex can be utilized after 5:00pm every day as long as your car is gone by business hours in the morning, and anytime (including overnight) on the weekends. The parking structure literally across the road by Outback steakhouse can be utilized at any time! all you need to do is walk across the street and you are at the complex. There is also tons of parking outside, around the business center, so the complaints about the parking is pretty silly. 2. Loud/thin walls - We live on the 3rd floor of the complex so we have people occupying the areas above and below us. The people above us do have heavy feet and we occasionally can hear them walking around, but it is hardly noticeable and really not something that has become an annoyance for us. The complex itself is very quiet, which we love and for the most part people are very courteous of their neighbors. 3. Management Office - Katrina and Kheo have always been helpful when we needed it (which isn't often). I think they really take pride in their complex which is why they are the nicest units in brea. Every time I've needed something or have had a question, I'd just walk into the office and they would be there and have always helped us on the spot. If it was after office hours, I'd call and leave a voicemail or email them and I'd get a response early the next day. They leave celebratory notes and treats on everyone's doors when it is their birthdays, and I think we even got something on Valentines day or a day that isn't always celebrated. . . Regardless, I love it. I think it is so cool and so thoughtful to have something waiting for you when you get home from work, just because. So, no complaints from us on management. I think they have been and continue to be great. 4. Cleanliness/outside courtyards - This place is ALWAYS clean. I mean, the occasional pieces of trash on the ground or debris is inevitable, but literally I don't think I have ever not seen someone cleaning or gardening or sweeping, etc. . . and they are SO NICE! You can tell they work really hard keeping The Pointe looking nice and it truly shows. The pool is SUPER tiny, which is really the only thing that is a bummer! But it's because of the weight restrictions. The parking is below it so they can't have anything too big, which is understandable. . . but still a bummer! I haven't gone to the pool once since we moved in. 5. Security - One of the main reasons we moved here was because it felt secure. They have guards walking around all night patrolling the area and the structure is gated and locked after office hours which is great. They definitely do their jobs. Multiple times I have been on the phone and have pulled up next to a curb to finish my conversation because their is no service in the structure, and every single time a guard will come up to my car and ask what I'm doing or why I'm there. They recognize me now, but I would have to tell them I was a resident finishing a conversation. Always super nice and while many people may get annoyed by this, I love it!!! because it shows me that they are trying to keep the area as safe as possible. All-in-all - This place is fantastic. I have had nothing but great experiences here and it is in a PERFECT location. This was an extremely long review, but I think it is necessary and well deserved. I look forward to our continued time here and appreciate very much the professionalism of the staff.

    I have lived at The Pointe for 1 year. The ONLY reason I'm leaving is because I am moving down to Costa Mesa for work and the commute is a bit too long. Honestly I have no complaints about this place! They offer 1 bedrooms and 2 bedrooms. Our 1 bedroom is HUGE! Two closets, two sinks, and lots of living space! We live on the third floor next to and across from people. People are a bit introverted here. But they do participate in the mixers! (I'll mention those later) -Cost Apartments may seem pricey, but definitely worth it. Couldn't find anything less expensive around here that isn't a shit-hole. You get what you pay for! Worth the investment. -Staff Friendly staff that live in the complex and always do their best to accommodate you! No complaints whatsoever. They also host a mixer or two every month! KFC dinner, snow cones, pizza party, and more! -Security 24 hour security, parking garage is gated, doors require FOB for entry, etc. Never have had a problem with any type of vandalism. -Parking situation You get one spot per apartment. There are 2 overflow/overnight lots as well as guest spots. Some numbered spots are also for guests. -Apartments They are new, clean, and disguise noise extremely well! I've only ever heard a few noises from the people above and even then its extremely quiet. They are also all within walking distance of Outback Steakhouse, Souplantation, El Torito Grill, and another nice restaurant! -Residents Apartments are a bit pricey, so residents are mainly adults with children, or just single people. I have heard one party's music, and even then it was off by midnight. Our apartment is above the pool, and it gets pretty rowdy on summer days. But again, its not a big problem. Other than that, no noise complaints! Basically, this place is AMAZING. I have loved every minute of my time here and wish I could stay longer! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a clean, safe, upscale apartment complex.

    I can't say enough good things about this apartment complex. After living in 6 other apartment complexes, The Pointe is by far the best. The entire staff (Kheo/Katraina) always greet you with a smile and were very helpful to our needs. They are quick to attend to any problems that arise and the grounds and are always kept clean every day by friendly courteous workers. I've had no issues with loud parties, no issues with dirty neighbors and the complex always felt safe. If we hadn't purchased a house we would of definitely stayed and renewed our lease. Would highly, highly recommend to anyone!

    There is nothing bad to say about this place. Any bad reviews are very dated, I disagree with them…read morewholeheartedly. Where to start? They treat you like people, not a number in their system. These are not corporate-run apartments, they are run by humans who treat you like humans. Yuri the manager was amazing to me, my family and everyone else! She was very prompt in her responses if we needed anything and very kind, helpful, and it felt like she cared about us. Leo, the maintenance guy, was awesome as well, very hard-working and responsive! Second, the area is hard to beat. Living there, you are minutes from major grocery stores, freeway, places to eat, downtown Brea for a night out, etc. Verryyy very safe area in Brea, you never feel like you can't go out at night. What's HUGE is the amount of parking outside the apartment on the street! If you have guests, they aren't parking miles away and walking. Neither are you if you'd prefer to park on the street rather than the stalls they have on the inside. There are spots all along Date street usually right outside your apartment. Third, the apartments themselves were built some time ago but they keep the insides of them up to date. We had pretty grey-ish wood flooring with carpet in the bedrooms, all white kitchen which I loved, updated appliances, sinks, etc. It is a very happy place, the courtyard areas are beautiful and well-maintained. Very green, lots of plants and flowers, very clean and it made you want to spend time outside. Not to mention the play area for kids! They have ample amount of space for kids to run around, even a cute, clean playhouse which I'll include in pictures. Lastly, the price of these are unbeatable! I know rental prices fluctuate, but these beat ANY 2 bedroom in Orange county. They aren't trying to rob you. My husband and 2 kids (age 5 and 3) were extremely sad when we left and would've stayed for years if not for another baby on the way. You will not regret the decision to rent here!!

    I called La Casa Brea home for about 5 years. I had a downstairs unit with only 2 sharing walls…read morewith neighbors which was nice. My unit also has a large front patio & some dirt. I was allowed to plant items in the patio which I loved. I planted 3 roses bushes. I loved the overall greenery at La Casa and the grounds were always maintained nicely. My only complaint would be sometimes upstairs neighbors were loud - but I had a downstairs unit so some of that is expected. La Casa truly felt like home! I met so many wonderful neighbors which I now call friends. A great community and location. Yuri the manager was always friendly and helpful :). I miss the community at La Casa very much! I have to mention how safe this apt complex is too. The location is residential and since the community is small people look out for each other :). I would recommend!

    I can't say enough about Ariana! We arrived a few minutes late to an Easter egg hunt and all the…read moreeggs were gone. My granddaughter's heart dropped, and honestly, so did mine. But Ariana turned the whole day around. She brought out more eggs, hid them all over the place, and even gave her hints in the cutest ways, making my granddaughter feel so special and excited. She didn't stop there! Ariana brought back balloons, checked in to make sure everything was perfect, and genuinely cared about making my granddaughter happy. Her thoughtfulness and energy turned disappointment into pure joy. We are so grateful for her kindness and creativity. If you want someone who goes above and beyond, Ariana is amazing! Add all the pointer s and make it short

    The best part of living here is that the building is newer and the cleaning crew does a great job…read morekeeping common areas clean. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. The biggest issue is the lack of security and enforcement. Parking rules are not enforced overnight, and cars regularly park in unauthorized spots for hours. Cars have been broken into, and people without proper access passes can freely walk throughout the building. What's most concerning is the lack of communication. There was a serious incident involving a stabbing where blood was visible on multiple floors, yet residents received no notice or explanation. Recently, police and a CSI van were outside the building with again no communication from management. When safety concerns are raised, management has stated that residents "shouldn't assume the building is safe" and that locked doors provide a "false sense of security." That response alone is alarming for a managed residential community. On top of that, rent has increased nearly 10% year over year. When you reach out to the renewal team, the responses feel canned and robotic like you're dealing with AI or someone with no knowledge of the local rental market. I hoped this would be a long-term place to live, but the lack of security, transparency, and accountability from management has made that unlikely.
