Raúl is the best at keeping up with maintenance as well. In addition, Laura is quite attentive to resident needs. Only negative is maybe a couple cats wonder the premise in the middle of the night that's black and white (female I believe). It's all good though, harmless creature I'm sure. In conclusion, Parsons is a pleasant place to live, and I've referred a few fellas or acquaintances to reside here in the past. What can I say, i found a gem and glad to share the experience to others!

Dora is an incredible property manager - extremely communicative, friendly, and caring. She genuinely cares about all the residents and wants the best for everyone. The complex itself is also great! Conveniently located near great restaurants, grocery stores, the freeway, and the beach, it really is super close to everything. The one bedroom apartment my boyfriend and I lived in was renovated, quiet, and had everything we needed. If you're looking for a spot in Costa Mesa, definitely consider Mesa Pines. Even if they don't have openings, it's worth getting added to the waitlist.

I normally don't write reviews unless someone really deserves it, good or bad…read more We just moved in, and although this is a gorgeous property in a pretty nice area, the real star of this place is TANNER, the Property Manager, who has been taking EXCELLENT CARE of us every step of the way. 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!

Chris was excellent! -Property manager Vanessa and her assistant were super friendly and were always trying to go above and beyond with their answers to my questions. -Parking situation is spacious -Tenants were super friendly as well Furthermore, I've been in many apartment complexes in past and it's always difficult to communicate with property managers, as they are usually very busy and don't reply quickly to emails or calls. However, that is NOT the case at The Village at South Coast. Vanessa the property manager, is attentive to emails and calls, and is always so inviting when you stop by her office. She is so friendly and professional, and I couldn't have asked for a better property manager. I truly feel she is has a passion to providing excellent service, and you can see that by her actions and great personality. Thank you Vanessa for your excellent service! If I ever move back to Costa Mesa, I am going straight to The Village at South Coast. Cons: -None

Apart from being a great…read morelocation to walk to the beach, Lido, or 17th street, these apartments have been a solid home to me these past few years- mainly due to the amenities, cleanliness, and safety. Many changes have been made recently (over the past 6 months to year) for the best- new pool lounges, couches, and grills have been added, new gym equipment was installed (after asking the residents for feedback on what they'd like to get), and a nice waiting area for Uber and Lyft was built out to make it safer for residents to wait for cars. 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. You have to bring in your own fridge (except for studios), but all others are provided. The maintenance staff has always been helpful and responded quickly to any issues we have come upon- toilets running, etc. Jordan is awesome and always willing to lend a helping hand and somehow always seems to know if you have a package the second she sees you (super observant)! Overall, these apartments can seem pricey, but they are a super solid choice for working professionals to call home!

Last month it was the resurfacing of the parking lot. These are NOT luxurious apartments. The kitchen tile chips away if you place a cup or plate a little too hard. The fake Mable chips off revealing a white chalk powder. The repair work has left my patio covered in debris every day. There are black gravel pieces everywhere and keeping them out of your apt is nearly impossible. This certainly doesn't feel family owned or operated. The yearly 10 % rent increase feels like corporate greed. So disappointing.

We've only lived at The Villas for about three weeks, but it already feels like we're on a…read morepermanent vacation. 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!

The apartments themselves have a lovely layout and the small accents in the rooms make you sort of fall in love with the place. The courtyard is generally quiet and the community is largely young friendly couples. I've never needed to submit a noise complaint or any sort of complaint for that matter. Kendra, the manager on site, has been extremely friendly and supportive where needed. Through the pandemic, the coin shortage made it hard to find quarters to do laundry. Kendra always had quarters on hand which saved me a ton of time. Bonus: there's a cumquat tree near the back of the complex. An overall pleasant experience living here!

We lived at The Enclave for nearly nine years, and this review is written after a long period of…read moretrying to work collaboratively with management. 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.

Easy to hop on the 55/405, and no need to deal with the annoying Triangle traffic because we're just inland from that. TJ Maxx/Home Depot/Stater Bros all super close! Plus dollar tree/post office a block walks away. Many squirrels call The Arbors home and they're hilarious. In general the neighbors are all super friendly. So yea, I'd recommend this place!
