Apartments near Dana Point, CA

“I love living at the Villas!! Such great amenities & we are SO close to the beach! I feel like we’re living in a 5 star hotel!! I also love our vaulted ceilings & updated flooring. It feels new even though I know it’s pretty old. Highly recommend!!!”

“This is a great place to live. Ken and Robert provide excellent maintenance service. Done in a prompt time frame and they know their stuff. Leasing agency with Marta and Dulce are fantastic. Always very friendly and helpful. It is a dog friendly community. You can pick up a coffee and a dog treat at the same time. My son loves the pool and jacuzzi. We love being so close to an ocean view hiking trail and some of the most beautiful beaches in So. Cal.”

“Alicante Apartments is a great place to call home! While the apartments may be a little older, they more than make up for it with their spaciousness and all their updates. But the real gem here is the staff - they're absolutely amazing!I definitely want to give a special shoutout to Miguel in maintenance – he's a superstar! His quick service and friendly personality are a breath of fresh air.”

“We have been living at Vantis for 5 months now. Overall we really like it here and I would like to highlight the following benefits:- A variety of activities: games, pools, etc- Quick response to repair requests.- Excellent soundproofing or just quiet neighbors :-)- High level of property security (zero thefts in area).- Plenty of public spaces that are often vacant (why does nobody use pools?)- Modern gym.- Well-maintained swimming pools.However, there are aspects that need attention from the management company:- Some facilities (like the fireplace in the BBQ area) have been in disrepair for a long time.- There is a shortage of gas for the BBQ area.- There is a lack of regular monitoring and maintenance of common spaces. (But in general everywhere is clean and well-maintained, but there are other places) For example, the stairs may remain dirty for weeks until the problem is reported by residents.- Fun fact: every evening at 5:05p.m, water comes out of the lawn sprinkler hose and floods the people on the lounge chairs near pool.We would appreciate it if the management company would be more proactive in maintenance and upkeep.Despite these issues, we really like the overall atmosphere at Vantis. We appreciate the work of the team and plan to continue living here. The apartment complex has a great location and we would gladly recommend it to our friends. Most importantly, many of the issues mentioned are fixable and hopefully they will be addressed.”

“Had a few issues while living here but maintenance was fast to resolve. Luis M. in particular was very helpful! He fixed the garbage disposal, replaced some baseboards, and even tightened up a loose toilet seat without being asked. All around great and friendly service!”

“We have lived here for 5 years and it has been a great place to live so far. Martha, Megan, Melissa, and Vanessa in the office have always treated us well. Safe area and the grounds and property are kept up very well.”

“guys, these are wonderful apartments and service! The area is clean and well maintained, the apartments are fresh and new! Linda did a 10 out of 10 job and helped us find the right apartment, thank you!”

“Best place I have ever lived. Not online is the property amazing but the staff is great. We rented out the clubhouse for a party and everyone had a great time and commented on how nice the complex is.”

“One of the best apt complex around - perhaps only honest property mgmt around with you in mind. Not to mention great staff, well maintained grounds and promptly address maintenance requests.Very reasonably priced and won’t nickel and dime you for move in, on monthly rents, on annual renewals and move outs. Rent includes garage and cable tv.Very happy here that I decided to renew my lease.”

“I would like to complement the maintenance staff at Essex Apartment, homes, in particular Rafael, who is excellent maintenance guy at our complex and is always there when you need him and does an excellent job and taking care of all the tenant maintenance needs. You couldn't ask for more dependable, honest, hard-working guy, and I took this time right now to acknowledge him and thank him. Thank you, Rafael.”

“On 9/15/23 Matt & Daniel did an amazing job with fixing my garage that was severely damaged. They were fast to respond and more importantly they were kind & professional. They articulated their professional knowledge in a clear concise manner without sounding condescending. As a woman, this was noticed and valued. They even demonstrated respect by wearing a mask when I mentioned my husbands cancer. That level of empathy & class is hard to find and should definitely be acknowledged. They truly make your company look 5 star! I will recommend your company on my social media sites based on this experience.”

“Carla, the highly professional Resident Manager of Heritage Park, I was sad to hear, has retired. IMHO she was a extremely talented, bright & compassionate manager with keen business acumen. During the Pandemic she displayed outstanding courage in the face of ever changing challenges, mitigating the unrealistic demands of the naive few versus the larger more critical needs of the many, consistent with the developing clarity of the deadly pathogen as it was revealed by ongoing science. Of some issues she was dealt a disadvantage (eg poorly designed, under-designed plumbing), but she did all that she could with the limited solution set that she was provided (ie one can not rebuild a plumbing system from the ground up). Lastly, she did an outstanding job supervising her staff, who all loved working with her & will sorely miss her presence - as well as greatly missed by countless residents that wish her the best but lack the technical skill to communicate it.In sum, the job of Resident Manager requires the capacity to nurture staff, the ability to communicate directly & compassionately with residents, & the skills to exude brightness, cheerfulness & positivity with poise, dignity & balanced harmony. Carla had these qualities in abundance!I sincerely hope that Western Management does all it can to retain her skills, perhaps as a consultant, trainer or as a senior emeritus management executive.(NOTE: There have been statements attributed to me re HP, but unless they carry my signature they are to be ignored with prejudice. I speak for myself, no one else has permission, tacitly, understood or implied, to speak for me.)”

“Anthony Ramos is 5 stars and here is why. He is a community manager has the experience and personality to manage people and facilities while maintaining good judgement and impartiality. In addition, he remains cheerful and sincere. It has been such a pleasure to work with where Anthony truly go above and beyond and demonstrate such a high level of professionalism and care. Anthony has been so helpful, understanding and thorough with answering all of my questions and being so attentive. Anthony is an exceptional leader and have left such a positive impact on me and my family and my experience living here in Laurel Glen Apartment. I trutly think he is the right person to manage Laurel Glen Apartment for a long time.”

“I really Loved how these Appartments looked inside and out!!! They R Luxury apartments and this little community of apartments gave me this safe vibe. And that because I went in the night so I look forward to going in the day time. I was visiting a friend and wanted to see how the neighborhood was at night if safe. But would definitely recommend to families and single people as well.”
