Been here since 2006. And I enjoy the neighborhood, the people who live here are all nice in passing and are quiet(98% of the time. lol) and respectful. Rent is pretty reasonable. I split it with 2 roommates, so its very affordable for me. Hence why I have been here since 2006. Parking: Regular street parking does get hard to find in the evenings. BUT, there is a GIANT empty parking lot across the street. Its a 45 second walk from my apartment. I dont understand why people complain about the parking. No matter what, you will always have a parking spot within 1 minute walking distance from the apartments. Stop being lazy bones. Management and Maintenance staff are great. You can call or email them and they always fix anything that breaks quickly. Washer and Dryers use an app that you can link a debit card to, so you dont ever have to have physical quarters. Walking distance to anything of necessity. Trader Joes, CVS, Walmart, Target, Chipotle, 24 hour Fitness, the Orange Mall, tons of other fast food places, Bevmo, Staples, Barber, Salons, and lots more. All within a couple minutes of walking. So, even if you do find street parking and you dont want to move your car, no problem, everything is right here. Its a great location. biggest con is we get people selling food that come by daily. I dont mind them selling food and making a living, but the problem is that they just honk their horns very annoyingly for 15-20 minutes as if calling farm animals to come get their food. Its like, BRO, we heard you for the first 10 minutes with your bike horn. WE GET IT. And the other lady has a bull horn set to 11 and she just lists off all the different fruits she has but its so loud, you can hear it from 4-5 blocks away. very intrusive when I'm at home just trying to relax. Again, I dont mind immigrant food vendors bringing their business to me, but don't advertise in such a way that makes me want to punch you in the face. But overall, I like here. I recommend it if you aren't a horrible person. lol read more

See all

I have lived at Orange Plaza Apartments for over 4 years now, have loved my time here and will always recommend it to others. Desiree Alvarez is by far the best manager i have ever had, she has always been professional and courteous! She is just Amazing!! The maintenance and office staff are always friendly and quick to respond to any issues that may occur. These are great apartments in a great area, we have literally all the stores around walking distance, mall, restaurants, grocery markets, everything!! Cannot name a store that it isn't around. Great place to live, would probably live here till i buy myself a house lol. read more

Desiree is very helpful and friendly person ,and Alfredo very nice and hard working .i do recommend them to help in anyway way .i been living here for almost 6 years read more

It was good for the money for a while, rent goes up every chance they get. As a result there were lots of younger people on budgets moving in and out. Within 2 years rent went from $1400 to over $1600. Staff is ok. Apartments are large. Things are fixed fast but break frequently. Parking is beyond awful. THE DOG RULES ARE A JOKE. There were at least 8 large breed "service dogs" in just our section alone within 2 years. Mostly pit bulls, but there was also a boxer, a mastiff mix, a 100+lb great dane, and two very aggressive cattle dogs. There were many more throughout the complex. I would say only 1 was possibly a real service dog. The rest were out of control and off leash all. the. time. If you have small dogs/ scared kids/ or a cat you have been warned. They do not enforce the 25lb rule and I was frequently accosted by loose large breed dogs within the complex. My biggest gripe is I spent 2 days cleaning my apartment to get my deposit back and Karen at inspection blew past me and walked straight to the stove and said I would be charged a full cleaning fee ($200 I think) for the whole apartment because I had not cleaned the inside of the stove. She didn't even scrutinize the rest of the apt. I had had 2 previous discussions about deposits/cleaning and she never mentioned this. It was clearly omitted from the convos on purpose. Previous apartment charged each cleaning item separately. So remember clean your stove... The courtyard style of the buildings means no no no privacy. That said, it felt safe as you cannot be snuck up on. All in all, it was ok but would probably not repeat. read more

We moved into Orange Plaza Apartments about March 2020 and we left Mid July 2021, I have to say that our experience there was very positive. Since the moment we went to apply I was very pleased with how helpful and nice Desiree (manager) was. We really never had issues but if we did it got fixed immediately! I received almost all of my deposit back which is great I know most places end up not returning it and they were were very fair about it. If I am ever looking for an apartment they would def. be one of my top choices! I recommend Orange Plaza Apartments! read more

My family and I have lived here going on 8yrs. We rent the downstairs 3 bedroom with a patio and garage. And through the years there have been one thing or another that would normally happen during 8 years. Everything gets taken care of right away and always to our satisfaction. I love how much they take time to know not only my children but my pets also. Did I mention I LOVE THIS PLACE. The manager is always planning special parties for the children that live here. read more

I lived in these apartments for about 2 years. I never had issues with any of the neighbors or with management. When it was time to move out, we had them do a walk through with us and tell us what we needed to fix. Once they did that, we deep cleaned the apartment and got our security deposit back. It took about a week, but nonetheless we did get it back. read more

I lived here from 2010 till 2012 and management was always very professional. The apartments are spacious and so close to shopping, grocery stores and the main freeways. Not to mention Orange plaza is pet friendly as well. read more

The apartments are very spacious for the price you pay and you get a garage with storage! It is located near a strip mall and has easy access to the freeway. Both management and maintenance are friendly and helpful. Whenever something needs fixing maintenance has been there within 1-3 days to fix it. We have never had any noise problems and all of our neighbors are friendly. There is a pool and onsite laundry room for each apartment building so they usually don't get too crowded. If you have 2 or more cars parking is a slight pain depending on your work schedule. There is another complex right by this one so there are a lot of cars trying to park in not a lot of space. That is really the only downside, but is totally worth it in the end when you get to say you live in such an awesome place! read more

I currently live here and I have lived here for over a year now. For the most part this apartment is great. It's a roomy 1 bedroom/ 1 bath apartment at 850sqf, which is nice! You also get a 1 car garage with storage included in the price. The management and staff are very friendly and helpful. Whenever we need something fix, they send the maintenance man over as soon as he can... We have never waited more than 2 days for him to be over, and if it is something that is harmful he is over to fix it the same day. When we first moved in we had some problems with our oven (it was VERY old), the maintenance man looked at it, and tried to fix it and the second time I complained about it they replaced it with a very nice new one! This place is pet friendly, which we were so happy to find! Our little dog is the world to us. Now, this complex isn't perfect. Parking is very bad! My husband works at disneyland and often has late shifts. We have a pact that whoever is home first parks on the street, and then the other gets the garage. The only problem with that is, once you park... You can't leave! Sometimes I feel like a prisoner in my own home, but we do have plenty of things that we can walk to. Also, there is another apartment complex that shares the streets with us. If I could move into this place again, I would try to get an apartment closer to where the office is and away from the other apartment complex. Some of the people who live over there are.... Well.... Annoying. Late night parties, lots of fighting and the cops show up a lot to those apartments. But Orange Plaza has no control of the complex... So nothing we can really do. It gives us some entertainment sometimes... Like a live episode of Jerry Springer. All in all we are happy with this place. We just signed another year lease with them. read more

Love this apartment complex and property manager is awesome! Also located right next to shopping and grocery stores. Literally everything you need is walking distance. read more

I made an appointment on a Tuesday to come see the apartments. By the time I arrived there on Friday, the space had been rented--and NO ONE called me to cancel the appointment. I drove an hour each way to see Orange Plaza, and when I arrived, the administrator (named Karen) was brusque and rude. Total waste of time. She offered to get a hold of me if something opened up, but I have serious misgivings about a company that has such unprofessional administration and communication. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

I'm not sure why the rating on here is only 3 stars. This is a great place to live! It is more affordable than anywhere else in OC, staff lives on site so it's always clean and management is responsive. Mostly college students and families who live here - quiet and friendly community. The pools were all just renovated and are always kept clean. There is tons of storage space in the apartment, and each unit gets its own covered and secure parking garage that also has extra storage space in it. Lived here for nearly 2 years and only moving because of my job. read more

Sketchy and unprofessional. I haven't got my deposit back yet and it's been 3 months since I was supposed to get it back.

I think this is one of the worst places to rent. I lived there for a year. In that year, the ceiling in my bedroom fell and the property manager did a terrible job repairing it. The air conditioner dripped continuously and my carpeting became very wet. They did little to repair it. Yes, it's cheap. But there are so many better places to rent. And the final straw that motivated me to post this review was after I moved out I left my apartment spotless. I even had the carpets cleaned. Yet, they deducted money from my deposit for paint and carpet cleaning. The place was so clean they were able to show it to prospective tenants the day after I moved out. Not only is that illegal to deduct for normal wear and tear. But it is just unethical. I haven't decided if I will pursue legal action. I may if I have time. These people need to be stopped. read more

Orange Plaza Apts is the worst place to rent. Cannon Management will steal your rent deposit for bogus charges. Avoid this place as best you can. They do not address issues brought to their attention. Good luck if you need something fixed as it will take at least 3 weeks to be addressed. read more

This is a worse place to rent. Amenities and painting are pretty old. They'd pretty much eat up all your deposit and some more to cover up their old paintings and cleaning (which we thoroughly did ourselves). I was actually shocked to receive a letter that we owe them over $300 after the one-month equivalent deposit. We never got our dishwasher to work well and we had to run water for long before hot water would come in. Parking is generally bad. If you work late, it's worse! I must say that the manager, Karen and her assistant Desiree and Afredo, the maintenance guy, are good people. But look elsewhere for an apartment. I really regretted renting from them! read more
