Buena La Vista Apartment Homes

My wife and I lived here for almost 5 years. It was our very first home after we got married. Unlike other bad reviews here, we actually enjoyed our living in this apartment. We recently moved out and the only reason for that is because we needed more bedroom since we are about to have bigger family. Obviously, I couldn't give full five starts just because I don't even think anywhere else can be called such a PERFECT home, however, I cannot really think of any issues that made us regret choosing the place. The rooms are spacious, free gas utility, quiet surroundings (guess this will depend on specific unit), super close parking area to our unit so we didn't suffer bringing all our heavy groceries, and especially we did not even experience one single time dealing with bugs or cockroaches in

The community is quite at times, the street is wide open to public and strangers and homeless people coming in and out visitors driving through and parking in random spots, homeless people camping out in back of parking lots, criminals breaking into vehicles, property is unsupervised at night, no parking spots after 3PM, residents and visitors stand outside smoking marijuana in broad daylight, listening to music, expensive place to live with no sense of security or regards to community environment, police are here once a week for disputes and escorting visitors off the property. Loud music events at elhers community center every weekend and even less parking.

I'll share the good the bad and the ugly! Pros: The area...it's close to everything. Knott's Berry Farm is down the street and every 4th of July you get a great fireworks show. Also Maintenance guys are super friendly they've been there for years. Management is okay too but they don't seem to last as they get swapped out every year. Cons: They increase the rent at the end of your lease like clock-works. 0 upkeep to the interior of apartments, we've been there for 3 years and paint on wall has slowly been peeling off. Also seems to have some plumbing issues. They've repaired units that got flooded next to ours at least 4 times in one year. The Worst thing about these apartments is the walls which are super thin. You can hear everything neighbors do. Parking not the greatest you have to ta

The only good thing about the apartment is it is more spacious than any other apartments with similar category and maybe maintenance staff that are friendly and making sure everything is neat and clean. Now let me start with the bad things. Security, since it is open community, a lot of homeless people at night try to salvage stuff from the dumpsters. Someone tried to cut my lock on the storage provided by the parking area. Luckily i was using a thick lock. Security officer was rarely seen around making rounds. Neighbor, maybe i just got unlucky surrounded by neighbor who constantly smoking weed. Most if the time my apartment and outside area smells like weed. Some neighbor are always so loud, management allowed people to put dog on their little backyard and keep you awake at night wit

I loved the apartment so much! I'm just so unhappy that I had to move so soon. I wish I could live there again, it was like perfect for me and my family. No problems whatsoever. Thank you Jacqueline & Shawna
