VRV is a part of the Greystar property & was built in 2023 w/ grand opening in June 2023…read more [Rent]: I looked at 15+ apartments in fall 2024 & ended up signing a 13-month lease for approximately $2,700+ per month for a one-bedroom (741 sq ft) on the 5th floor facing the pool. One bedroom = 3 max occupants & comes w/ appliances like a dishwasher, oven, refrigerator, and microwave. Lease = 12 to 15 months only & must meet 3x rent income requirement. [Monthly Fees]: Pest Control = $2.00. Trash Service = $25.00 (Sunday night - Thursday night). Utility Billing Administrative Fee = $4.88. Pet fee = $50 & waived w/ ESA (Emotional Support Animals). [One-time Fee]: Application Fee = $35.00 per applicant. Holding Deposit (refundable) = $500.00 per unit. $500 deposit per dog. Parcel Pending app fee = $20. *** Amenities *** [1st floor]: 24-hour two-level fitness center that feels like a mini gym, w/ StairMasters, poolside lounge w/ hanging daybeds, lounge kitchen at the lobby for guests, clubhouse lounge, mail room via Parcel Pending app, dog wash station, & a small onsite outdoor dog run. [2nd floor]: Sports simulator (golf swing bay & lounge) and a work-from-home office. [7th floor]: City-view deck. [Guest Parking]: Residents receive 4 guest parking passes per month via the Reliant Parking app & guest passes are not required between 9 AM - 6 PM. [Internet]: Frontier or Spectrum. [Payment]: Blit Rewards w/ autopay. [Others]: Central AC & in-unit washer-dryer combos (European-style). *** Pros *** [Amazing location]: A perfect 'meet me halfway' location - Long Beach, Huntington Beach, Cerritos, Costa Mesa, and Buena Park = all within a 30-minute drive. Rodeo 39 Public Market (a trendy food hall), Planet Fitness, Starbucks, & In-N-Out are all just a block away. Convenient access to Freeway SR-22 & Costco (Business Center) is only 3 blocks away though it closes early at 6 PM. Little Saigon is less than 15 minutes away so great Vietnamese food not too far away. There's also a nearby H-Mart for Asian groceries. [Friendly management]: Errold & Sabrina from the leasing office are always friendly & helpful. The leasing office is open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM so there is always someone available in person unlike Essex apartments. [Easy move-in process]: They use an app called Updater which provides step-by-step instructions for the move-in process. This includes setting up internet/TV service, USPS mail forwarding, connecting utilities such as SCE (no need to set up water, gas, or trash as those are billed via Conservice), & securing renter's insurance ($100k coverage = approximately $10.75 to $14.50 per month via Assurance). [Easy move-out process]: No hiccups. There was a $120 cleaning fee & a $45 painting fee. I received the remaining deposit balance about a month later via email. [Smart lock]: Even if you accidentally forget your key fob, you can still get back in by entering a code on the smart lock. [Food]: Few times a month the apartment hosts pop-up kitchen events & residents can scan a QR code to place orders in advance. *** Cons *** * Occasionally some outsiders would camp near the apartment complex, but they are usually gone within a week. I typically drive in & out of the apartment so it has never been an issue. These incidents became less & less frequent. * It is true that the garage entrance on Stanford Ave occasionally doesn't work, but I have learned to enter via Beach Blvd instead & it has not been an issue. * Expect occasional random noise but I rarely hear anything distracting after midnight. The double-pane windows blocked sound well & living on the 5th floor (the highest floor w/ pool-facing rooms) = no neighbor above my room. * Some pet owners do not always pick up after their dogs at the outdoor dog run. * No control over the TV channels in the lobby. *** Other Observations *** * No one really uses the pool during the winter season. * The 60-day move-out notification = only applied to residents who moved in when the apartment first opened to help maintain occupancy rates. Now the apartment is mostly filled, it is a standard 30-day move-out notification. * Each resident receives one free parking spot, but the assigned spot is always located one floor above the floor they live on. While it is not the most convenient setup for getting in & out, I just view it as a small bonus for getting some extra exercise. * Make sure the garage sticker is on the driver's side - I initially put it in the center of window only to realize it doesn't work well. Moving it to the driver's side fixed the issue. * To toss large cardboard boxes, take them to the 1st floor & leave them next to the steel roll-up gates. [Conclusion]: Is it the perfect apartment? No, but it is all about identifying your non-negotiables. For me, location & friendly management are top priorities. This apartment remains quite popular esp the units facing the pool. I would consider moving back here if I need to live in OC again.

Would like to preface this by saying this is not a reflection of the staff at VRV, who have been…read morekind and pleasant to work with, but rather upper management/ownership/Greystar. TLDR; apartment garage sensors failed and gate closed on my car while I was entering, requested camera footage from management for insurance claim, was told they would obtain this and follow up, radio silence for ~2 weeks, then management claims the entrance cameras weren't recording at the time and for me to just file an insurance claim without it. On 7/3/2026 @ ~1:47-1:48PM, I entered the main entrance Beach Blvd. garage behind another vehicle. After my vehicle and the vehicle in front had entered, a person was crossing near the garage entrance, so the vehicle in front of me waited while I was in between the open gate. The gate closed on my car and left marks on the rear driver-side quarter panel and rear bumper. Immediately after, I went in-person to the front desk to notify them of the incident, was told to email them with an incident report. I was also told that there were cameras at the entrance, and that obtaining footage of the incident for my insurance claim would not be an issue. On 7/6/2026, I went in-person to the front desk to follow up, as I was uncertain if obtaining the footage was time sensitive, and if the entrance cameras would overwrite the footage after a certain period of time. In typical Greystar fashion, the front desk was short staffed that day after the long weekend, only one worker was present. I was told that due to the volume of inquiries over the weekend, my request would be addressed that week if not that day. Totally fine, completely understand. On 7/13/2026, I went in-person to the front desk again to follow up, the person at the front desk that day said that my incident report had already been escalated, and that she would follow up again. I was also reassured that the camera footage would still be obtainable, and that the footage would not overwrite in this time period. On 7/15/2026, I went in-person to the front desk again to follow up. I was then told that the cameras "weren't recording at the time", and that I should move forward with an insurance claim without the footage. I understand that this is a unique situation and very likely something that the vast majority of tenants won't encounter, but this is reflective of how VRV and Greystar properties in general handle any issues beyond the scope of simple inquiries and maintenance requests. If you're a prospective renter, keep this in mind.

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.

The staff, including the maintenance, are extremely attentive and pleasant to work with. The apartments are clean and well made. The appliances are up to date. Although I didn't have tons of interaction with the neighbors everyone was pleasant and friendly. The courtyard and parking lots were always maintained and clean. They also added a gate for the complex while I was living there which added security. I'd be happy to recommend this place to anyone looking for an apartment in Westminster. I will say this is a quite and respectable community. So if your looking to have parties and have noisy guest after 1030, you should look somewhere else.

I applied to live at this apartment complex because of the affordable rent, beautiful interior and…read moreconvenient location. Tyler, the agent who gave me a tour, was friendly, professional, and provided excellent customer service. Based on that experience, my roommates and I decided to submit our applications. Unfortunately, our experience with the application process was disappointing. Yeimy, the application processor, was unprofessional, unresponsive, and unhelpful. Her communication was unclear, often contained multiple typos, and lacked timely follow-up. While we were initially excited about living at Greenfield Apartments, the poor customer service during the application process led us to look elsewhere. I'm sharing this in hopes that future applicants have a smoother experience and that management takes appropriate action to improve the process.

Kathy, the property manager, took the time to show it to me by video on her phone. She also shared some great local food recommendations and told me a little about Westminster, which helped me feel more comfortable with the move. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the community is extremely quiet. The onsite nighttime security team is attentive and does a great job keeping an eye on the property and parked cars. Whenever I've submitted a maintenance request, the team has responded quickly and resolved the issue. I honestly have no complaints and am happy to call this community home!

Coming from the Bay Area, I recently moved in to La Madera this past August with my son and my dog…read more What drew me to La Madera was that there were no breed restrictions/weight limit for dogs. (I have a 50 pound husky). I was also drawn to La Madera due to the positive reviews. Although there were not that many reviews I figured that meant the residents are happy. Usually when someone experiences something negative, that's when they will complain about the company on Yelp to let other people know. I scheduled an appointment with the manager Anny in June and coordinated everything with her via phone/email. She was very responsive and answered all my questions thoroughly. Anny made the move in process quick and easy. The complex is quiet and all the residents are to themselves. Although I have only been living here for a month, everything is great and I have no complaints. The maintanence manager Gustavo is also great. Very personable and helpful when something needs fixing. There were a couple of things that needed to be fixed when i first moved in such as my toilet paper holder being too narrow, broken microwave, and a dishwasher being installed. All of these work orders were completed timely. I will point out though that parking could be a concern here if you have more than one vehicle. (I only have one so nothing to worry about for me). Also there were some occasions (not often, mostly on the weekends) where the garbage dumpsters will fill up quickly and overflow). Laundry facilities on-site are adequate. And my only pet peeve is that we are not able to reverse park in to the parking stalls. I could understand why but I love my reverse parking. Oh one more pet peeve, I wish the parking gate entrance would open automatically when leaving the complex. Unfortunately Anny is off to manage a new complex - she was awesome to work with and she advised me to reach out to her if any questions.

The place is absolutely filthy and disgusting. Spoiled food on the floor near the trash bins, and…read moredog poop EVERYWHERE. So many bad dog owners here. The new manager is pretty good, but there is no one here to clean the place. No cleaning staff + people who make a huge mess = An embarrassingly filthy place to live. Parking rules are not enforced meaning people take up multiple spots, good luck finding parking. Trash all over the laundry rooms, despite cameras all over the place, yet no one is made to follow the rules. Management does not hold people accountable and as a result none of the rules are followed here. There are a ton of empty units and I can see why, for the amount of rent why would anyone live here. Take a tour for yourself and see how filthy the place is. If it is between this place and another go with the other place, especially if you want to call a clean sanitary place your home. Like I said the new manager is doing to best he can, but a lack of staff and a lot of inconsiderate people make this place an embarrassment.

As an empty nester downsizing from a home to a 1bedroom nest, it was a life changing moment for me. My number 1 priority has always been safety, whether I am in the apartment or in the parking structure. I was very pleased with how up to date the security is set up here and the place is always well lit with their sensored lights both in the parking structure and hallway. EV charging stations are a big bonus! As for the apartment living, everything was provided efficiently. I don't really have any issues with the appliances except for replacing the AC and fridge filters, which maintenance is always promt and professional with the services. Adan is the best! The amenities are always kept up to par. Whenever I have questions or concerns, things have always been obliged in a timely manner. Neighbors around me are very pleasant and respectful towards each other. As for the management and staff, I am beyond words about them. I feel that they are compassionate, empathetic, and understanding to their best abilities. They will always strive to do their best to assist or accommodate the situation. They are the main reason that I've decided to stay longer. For the community safety concern, the only setback I see is the alarm situation. I know most of the time it's triggered by people not abiding by the rules and open their front door while cooking and management have yet to enforce stricter rules (maybe as a fine). If this situation improves then the complex will be even more pleasant and beautiful state of the art accomodation to live.

She came by to do a smoke detector check while my baby was sleeping. I asked if she could come back a little later, and instead of being understanding, she texted me afterward calling us "non-compliant."

She always seems irritated or angry, which makes it very uncomfortable a resident to communicate concerns or even ask basic questions. Solara's motto is "Live Happy," but unfortunately that has not been our experience at all mainly because of how interactions with Patty have gone. It's hard to feel comfortable or supported when management treats residents this way.
