Update on my review on this community. Security has been giving the residents two warning, REGARLESS of the parking permit that was put on the car because they want us to park inside the garage. Again, you guys are biggest joke of the year. All of the cars that are "supposed to" park inside their garages have been parking in front of the building for monthss now. I'm not sure why the tickets or warnings have been given after monthsssss :) I'm done and I'm going to have someone become my tenants and get garage parking sticker for their car so I can get the sticker to park outside. The parking policy that HOA set up is ridiculously stupid. Here are what I have been told by the security here: "After 6.00 p.m., you can only park in front of your building for 30 mins to unload your groveries." "No, the parking permit can only be used for 3 times." I seriously start to regrett buying property here. The HOA and security made me felt unwelcome in my own home, regarding the high HOA fee paid to them monthly. To HOA and security: You don't reside here yourself even tho you manage the property. I suggest you to stop making home owners feel uncomfortable and frustrated at their own houses. read more

Horrible community!! We have a crazy, psycho garage neighbor who harasses us for no reason every hour of the day and complains to management for no apparent reason. You know, one of those vindictive, malicious neighbors you hear about on TV. Suppose the garage door is open for 10 seconds while we bring up heavy groceries or carry my kids. In that case, the basket case takes photos, emails them to the property manager, and uses a camera to monitor the garage as if the property manager and the board haven't seen the other garages left open. The management and the board know this, but because they are underfunded, the board sends nonsense violation notices for $500 at least five times a month without giving us a chance to speak up, and they disregard all our letters. The fees are out of control, totaling over $5,000.00, and they intentionally mixed them with the on-time monthly payments (violation fees, supposed to be kept separate from the member payments ledger). So what do they do? They put a Lien on the property, thinking they would get paid. Who would pay these senseless fees? Not even Jeff Bezos would fall for this scam. Bunch of thieves. I mean, they'll do anything to replenish the funds that the prior management company stole and mishandled. Now they're in deep $hit, and the only helpful board member left the community because she had enough of the nonsense going on here. The worst is that we're stuck here. They don't have a condo master insurance policy that the HOA is supposed to provide, which is why nobody will buy these faulty condos. It's not easy selling these crap holes, and with the issues with their master insurance that they can't afford due to very low reserves, we're basically helpless. No mortgage company approves loans to buyers due to lawsuits against this community, but mainly because they don't have a solid master insurance policy and lack the necessary funds (this issue has persisted for years). We have a neighbor who has had his home for sale for months, and despite the sale price now being way below the market value, no one can or would buy it. Only cash buyers can purchase upfront, but they, too, become aware of problems here and move on. A famous Foothill ranch realty told us it would take many years before they could place a master insurance policy for this community and fix all the damage done to this place. Only the tenants have a little luck since they don't have to deal with the unreal monthly assessments, repairs that don't take place, terrible property management, unfounded violation fees, and other issues. They don't address common area complaints because they claim they don't have any funds. What the hell do you do with all our ungodly raised payments? Who knows which individual or group of people pocketed our membership payments? The broken gate, which has been an issue since 2006 and has been refused repair despite promises made over the last 20 years, is a whole other story that we'll discuss in another review. That Ryan character, board member, sucks the worst. Then, every time you have a question for the board during the begining of the meeting which is allowed, that annoying remote board member woman (who never shows up at the meetings except remotely, so no one knows how the heck she qualified to be a board member in the first place) jumps in the middle of our questions & keeps whining, "Talk to the manager." She keeps saying: "LIKE this," LIKE that, "just LIKE", "I mean LIKE that LIKE you know LIKE, LIKE"..is a noob talks just like a valley adolescent girl from the 80s. I mean, who the hell died and picked that waste of space twat- useless as t*ts on a boar. They raised the monthly dues from $400 to $700 in a matter of five months. The special assessment for their shortcomings never ends, only goes up. Then they make mistakes in billing and claim the homeowner is responsible for it. Most homeowners are helpless, and they don't unite. The other half are tenants. Powerstone management company mishandled and embezzled money from this community because they knew the board was a joke. Tuscany got rid of the sassy Power-Stone property management company, but by then it was too late. Then they brought in the "Totally useless property management" company in its place; that's working out just peachy. Tuscany condominiums at Foothill Ranch used to be a great place to live. They pissed all over it & continue to do so, and with those incompetent board members, it's going to dissolve soon (we hope). They destroyed everything here to the point that we can't even sell this hellhole and move out. read more

Great and beautiful community to live. Lots of amenities. Never had a issue here. Those negative reviews obviously came from people who did not obey HOA parking rules and deserved to be towed. read more

Awful. 0 stars. Rabbits poop everywhere. Gardeners suck. Always leave a mess on my patio. Really strict hoa rules. Tow your vehicle if you live here. One warning a year. Worst hoa rules I've ever seen. They're awful to the residents here. read more

All the complaints are from renters not following HOA rules. Too many renters. Offsite landlords don't care what renters do. Only about 30% are homeowners, 70% renters. Some packing 5-6 adults plus children living in a 1 or 2 bedroom. Causes parking space issues. Mailboxes broken into. Electric chargers, car wash used by nonresidents, at e homeowners' expense. HOA is useless, too cheap to put up cameras. Thefts and vandalism continue, HOA fees escalate! Rude, noisy, loud, selfish neighbors. Used to be a nice complex, but not for many years now. Would never buy or rent there again. read more

We've rented here for a few months now and had so many problems with the parking situation. They require that you park 1 car in your garage, which is fine, but they will even give you a citation if you leave your car too long unloading groceries, especially since my garage is half way across the complex. The worst part is the double standard the security company has. There is a unit with 3 cars parked in the same 3 spots every day. 1 doesn't even have a permit on it, but they never get towed or cited. The HOA gives you guest passes for parking, but they can only be used 3 times a month and you get two. I would never buy here. Lots of dog aggressive dogs around too. read more

I rent in Tuscany and the HOA is so ruthless and refuse to allow children to play or enjoy the outdoors. They will constantly tell you to clean your patio and even request you wear earbuds at the pool. I have owned in 2 HOA's and have never had issues like these. If your looking to buy you might want to speak with residents first cause your not gonna be happy here if you have children. read more

This place is a joke! My parents live here we come every Sunday for family dinner. This Sunday we came with out one month old baby who was screaming when we got there by the time we we got upstairs calmed the baby down 48 minutes had passed. We went down to put the pass in the car the car was towed with the babies car seat in the car. So now $357 and an hour and half later we can take our fussy baby home finally. I could understand if the parking lot was fully but there had to be no joke 20+ open spots. If you have family or friends I do not recommend living here. I would not spend a dime buying or renting a condo in this joke of a complex. read more

The review by Chris T. is correct. I currently live in the same building, and the people below us have caused us such a headache. They get upset about EVERYTHING. We wanted to live here since it was close to my boyfriends work, and they let us have our dog (He is quiet large 70lbs). We've lived in different cities/states, and Ive never dealt with such CRAZY people - Even the word 'crazy' can not explain how these people are. If I walk up the stairs, they will get upset. If I clean my patio, they yell and cuss. The HOA does nothing to stop them from smoking either, or harassing us. We've had to get our landlord involved and write them a formal letter to leave us alone but that does not stop them. I would not recommend anyone to live here. A lot of the people here are mentally, and physically distressed. We've had cops here atleast every month, smoking, noisiness, and no sense of privacy.

My friends live here and I always have a pleasant time driving into their community. The parking is a 5 star according to my friends, who are the residents and often have visitors. They just coordinate with the condo owners for that. The homes have a Tuscany feel and design. The location is in a suburban part of foothill in a gated community. There are high ceilings and lots of tall windows for sunlight. There are many friendly people that live here. Other than it being 20 minutes from the 5 freeway, I give this place a high rating. read more

We have no rights here as renters, as we do not pay the HOA dues and cannot attend meetings. Our car was towed from a parking space in front of our own home last night because we were supposed to be parked in the garage. We parked out front to transport a sick child safely inside the house, displayed a guest pass, forgot about it and went to bed. Empire Private Security said this was justified as we had received a warning on December 6th. I was laughed at when I said it must have blown off the car. Come to realize, December 6th was the very night our phones beeped with an Emergency Alert due to the high winds and fires wreaking havoc across Southern California. The security guard insists he is "doing his job." While that is a respectable quality at first glance, this is the type of dangerous thinking that allows people to depersonalize their work and ignore the humanity in what they're doing. I don't feel safe living here knowing that we have security who justifies any action as "doing his job" even if it hurts others. Tuscany- adjust your HOA policy or hire security who will enforce your policies with some heart. Please tow non-residents with no pass after multiple warnings, but not residents with a clearly displayed guest pass and one paper warning given on the windiest night in a decade. This is not kind nor reasonable behavior. This is a man we wave to every day. He knew whose car it was, and decided to have the resident's car removed from in front of their home. That's no place to call home. read more

I visited my friend here one night and parked in an open spot by her place. We were just chatting for a few hours and when I came out to leave my car was gone. I was completely shocked and I initially thought it had been stolen. Turns out the security company had it towed! No warning, no signs, nothing! This was my second time visiting her there ever! I was not an overnight guest, I didn't take someone's parking spot. So now it's late and I am shocked and in hysterics and have to get to a tow yard, such a safe place for women. It cost $330 to get my car out of the creepy Lake Forest tow yard. I had never had a car towed in my life! My friend had lived here for years and had had numerous friends over and people spend the night and none of them were towed. I am posting this to warn people that if you live here you will have a hard time having a social life or guests over. I went all around the entire complex and could not find one visible sign or warning that said you need a permit or some kind of authorization to park in their open guest spots. I am prepared to take this to court but my poor friend doesn't want to create any friction between the HOA or her landlord. It's so unfair and disgusting. Just another shady HOA and security company getting kickbacks from a tow company. Nobody should have to live like that! read more

If you are thinking of renting here, I have one advice... DON'T DO IT!!! We have been here for more than 4 years and all I can tell you is that it gets worse every year. First the property manager who is managing the property is a flat out LIAR. When we first saw the place and talked to him we asked about rent increase. He claimed that "we do not raise rent that often, and if we do it's only about $25 a month more." Well the year after we signed and time for renewal, he wanted to increase it for almost $300 more. We fought and got an increase of $50 dollars more, and guess what year after year he raised $35 every month. Then this month he wanted to rent it up to $2100. First this unit, you have to bring your own appliances (fridge and washer/dryer). Parking is also a nightmare. The security guard monitors the parking like crazy. What sucks is that we are often home and if you do not move your car for three days (mind you we have a sticker here that states we LIVE here and not VISITORS) they will tow it away. So we have to constantly move it. Plus you are only allowed 2 guest pass (so good luck having any friends over). Then one of the woman here got her own RESERVED parking (which took 2 spots) so where we are at the parking is limited. And she will also fight you if you use HER RAMP! That's right she has claim to that ramp. So guess what, another person next to her decided he also wants his OWN reserved parking, so he got one too. NOW that is THREE spots we lost. HOA board here do not give a damn about renters, even though almost 50% that are here rents with family. Stay away from this place, landlords and property managers lie, you get crazy people that wants their own reserved parking, and a security guard that hunts you down and gets your car towed away. read more
