Promenade at Irvine Spectrum - Office - Apartments Near Me - Irvine, California

This is the first negative review I have ever written, and unfortunately it comes after a very disappointing experience with the management team at Promenade. My mother and I have been residents within the Irvine apartments community for the past two years. We have always paid our rent on time, respected the property, and maintained a positive relationship with the staff and maintenance team. We were simply trying to relocate to another community closer to our friends and family. During the application process, we were told over the phone that we could come to the office and receive assistance with submitting my mother's application. When we visited the office, a misunderstanding occurred with one of the employees. Rather than helping resolve the issue, I felt that my concerns were dismissed. I later spoke with Community Manager Kayla, who assured me that everything would be handled and encouraged us to submit the application. Based on that conversation, my mother and I returned, completed the required paperwork, and submitted all requested documents and fees. To our surprise, our application was canceled the following day. At first, I chose not to escalate the matter because I believed it may have been a misunderstanding or a difficult day for the staff involved. However, several months later, when I attempted to apply again, the application was canceled a second time. I then contacted Kayla's supervisor, Frederick, to explain the situation and request a fair review of what occurred. My concern is not simply that the application was denied, but that there was a lack of communication, transparency, and professionalism throughout the process. As a long-term resident of an Irvine community, I expected concerns to be addressed objectively and respectfully. Instead, I felt that my mother's and my applications were dismissed. My mother had recently undergone surgery, and this experience added unnecessary stress during an already difficult time. I hope management reviews this matter carefully and ensures that future applicants are treated with fairness, professionalism, and clear communication. read more

Toured the property and it was an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience, here's why. The app for starters. There's no one to assist you in person. We walked over 1 hour to look at 3 units on this property. None of which I actually wanted to see for our needs, but that's where they sent us (even after we called the main center again). They were dark due to the high, small windows sparsely placed. Most people don't expect a view and that's great because you won't get one here. Parking was packed. Everyone I encountered that worked there couldn't seem to find a reason to smile. On site Residents Services was kinda snooty when we asked for help. The pool has a security guard outside the gate. Not sure why that's necessary but it's not my vibe. Be aware of small things one over looks like inside storage and the layout. It was a really weird use of square footage in all the units I went to and furniture placement seemed awkward. Not only is the tour smart phone/app access only (which is classist by the way), access to your own apartment is as well. God forbid your phone dies like ours did. Give me a good old fashioned hard copy key. Anywho, I'm sure this place works for a lot of people but I'm not one of them. read more

I've lived at Promenade Apartment Homes for four years and overall it's been a wonderful experience. The community is beautiful, the pool area feels like a resort, the café is such a convenient touch, and the location truly can't be beat. The only downside during my four years at Promenade was a break-in to my storage unit, and I felt there was very little concern shown by Irvine Company corporate about the stolen property. Aside from that incident, everything else has been positive and I've really enjoyed living here. read more

Promenade at Irvine Spectrum - A peak at the dog park - Apartments Near Me - Irvine, California

I got another unpleasant legal notice in my mail about not updating my renters insurance even though they have confirmed via email that it is in fact up to date now. Looks like when they left a notice on my door, they also mailed it as well, when they could've just checked their email inbox that already had my insurance info as they instructed. Im out of words to say now and am just so distressed as a result of their continued harassment. I don't know what else to do here. Perhaps I need to seek legal advice to protect myself. This is just so stressful. read more

The guest parking is slim to none. Good luck moving in with a truck and finding a place to park safely to unload. Studios start at $2650 at the lowest but are around $2800. The pros are the cafes and markets. read more

I wish Yelp allowed negative stars, because that's exactly what the Irvine Company Apartments deserve. Sure, the "aesthetic" and so-called "amenities" might reel you in at first but renter beware. If you want your mail and packages stolen repeatedly, your rent hiked every year, and completely unhelpful on-site staff, then by all means, move in. Otherwise, stay far away. The first time my mail was stolen, it was my car title. Our mailbox is supposed to be locked, and I'm signed up for notifications that tell me exactly what's being delivered. The summary showed everything except the title. I ended up filing a police report and paying for a replacement. And of course, Irvine Company Apartments shrugged and did nothing. It didn't stop there. More packages stolen multiple times. When I went to speak with a Customer Relations Representative, they actually tried to blame the delivery companies for not using the locked boxes. How about taking some responsibility? Why are the package rooms wide open all the time for anyone to walk in? Only residents and delivery drivers should have access. And yes, there are cameras, but apparently the only way to see footage is to file a police report. I've filed several. Not a single follow-up from them. But honestly, the absolute worst part of living here is how incompetent the Customer Relations Representatives (CRR) are. I moved in with my partner, who renewed our lease for another year so I wouldn't have to move again. We signed everything, added parking spaces and storage, and paid. Then one day, I find a nasty note on my car: "Move your car before it's TOWED!" I go to the office to figure out what's going on, turns out the CRR never updated our lease and gave our parking spots to someone else. So not only are they unhelpful, they can't even do their basic jobs. Had I known how awful it would be living here, I would've gladly packed up and left within the first two months. And let's not forget the rent increases: expect an extra $300-$400 tacked on whenever they feel like it read more

I lived here for about 2 years and this is probably one of the best places I have lived in my life hands down. This complex is well-kept, clean, safe, quiet, and luxurious. I had a 4th floor apartment with big windows, lots of sunlight, and never had any complaints, it was perfect. There are so many amenities to use - the saltwater pools and jacuzzis, beautiful fitness center with weights, machines, and a yoga studio, cafe + market on site with great coffee, food, and snacks. Literally paradise here. Erica was absolutely amazing and has been so sweet and helpful whenever I needed help with anything. The maintenance team is also quick to repair anything! read more

The apartments are nice however, the people in the office are absolutely useless and the most unhelpful lazy people that must really dislike their jobs. They never answer the phone, It takes days to respond to emails and that's even if they respond. The amenities aren't anything special and if you plan to use the pool on the weekends, expect to have to sign in and get a wristband by security and your only allowed two guest! Every year the rent increases by a few hundred dollars but yet they can't seem to maintain the cleanliness of the buildings. Oh and don't forget the endless fire alarms going off! read more

Santiago and Joseph from maintenance just finished a maintenance job at my apartment. He was such a nice, efficient, careful employee. He treated the job as he would if he were completing something in his own home. He is genuinely an asset to the Irvine company and an exemplary employee! read more

I've been living here for about five and a half years now, and it's been a great experience overall. Honestly, I've had zero issues, which feels pretty rare these days. For context, I'm in a 3rd-floor corner unit--never had a problem with upstairs or downstairs neighbors, maybe just lucky! The neighbors have always been chill, even as they come and go over the years. The location is super convenient with shops right across the street, excellent pools, and a neighborhood market I really should take advantage of more often. There are also some great walking trails nearby for when you want to get outside and get some fresh air. Looking forward to a few more years here! read more

I wish I could give absolutely no stars. This property is a joke altogether. The Irvine Company are liars, theives and crooks. Resident Services are complete morons and have no care whatsoever about integrity or ethics. From the time I moved in I've had issues from shared circuits for major appliances (electrical code violations) to no GFCI outlets in the bathroom or the kitchens which makes the units at risk to fires. You cannot use general appliances in their units, including coffee pots, blow dryers, air fryers, tea kettles, etc. all without tripping the breaker (due to shared circuits) indicating a poorly built and maintained property. Which is wild considering this is supposed to be a new property. When I alerted Resident Services about this issue, initially the maintenance team dispatched an electrician to my unit which was no help, I'm sure the electrician was someone paid off by The Irvine Company. I was even denied a copy of the electrician report after my service was "completed" and "nothing was wrong". Then I was dismissed completely by Resident Services and told that I couldn't speak to corporate legal teams or anyone short of an email correspondence with someone in operations. I was then told the breaker tripping was expected behavior and "for safety" which is a lie because if that were so why call an electrician in the first place. Sneaky and disceptive behavior, make it make sense. No integrity whatsoever! Resident Services do not follow through on commitments and will lie straight to your face, calls won't be returned, emails will be ignored. The units have pests and bugs, you regularly see oriental flying cockroaches and large arachnids (daddy long legs) inside units and within corridors to apartments. My washing machine and dryer both experienced additional circuit issues and The Irvine Company refuse to acknowledge or address these principal issue, merely sweeping issues under the rug or band aiding problems. Emergency maintenance requests are not available and the AI submission robot is absolutely useless. I even asked to be let out of my lease to facilitate the win-win on both sides however they wanted over 6K even though I hadn't been in the unit 30-days, so I guess to social media and reviews I go. Beware the manipulative, deceitful, and downright horrible conditions of The Irvine Company and the Promenade location. Do yourself a favor and go with another property, the worst of Irvine is here. Save yourself the trouble and go with Greystar. read more

I really wanted to keep my review for Irvine Company but I'm honestly so tired of Promenade RSO. We went month to month due to personal reasons and are already getting an increase less than a year. They want to charge us almost 70% more than what our original rent was. All our floor plans in the community are about $400 less than what they offered us for a renewal offer. I feel like they just have zero compassion. I've rented from Irvine company at other communities and have never been treated like this. The renewal offer and month to month increase came a week after we had issues with their cafe on site screaming at us because our service dog was in there. Feels like retaliation and very disappointing with how they treat their residents here. read more

Current view from my peaceful, luxurious 3k apartment. This month I've been woken up by a broken fridge, unnecessary leaf blowers, workers slamming things, and yappy dog. Appliances are constantly breaking. While the management is very kind, the complex is just not well managed. They gave the resources but just cannot get it together. read more

I've lived here for almost 4 years now and recently moved from Building 1 to Building 8. This review is about one of the amazing Maintenance Technicians Isela Amaro. Technicians are assigned to different buildings so I never really knew her until I moved to Bldg 8. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and can fix almost anything; but she goes above and beyond when she is in my apartment and sees something else that may need to be fixed. She was here today on a work order for my sink but noticed my door slammed very loudly (i never knew they could be adjusted) and asked if I wanted it to close quieter. She also replaced my AC filter because I have a dog and it needs replacing more often. She is also just a lovely human being who will always say hello and wave when I'm walking my dog. read more

A big thank you to Isela and Joel for fixing our kitchen sink and disposal! They were quick, helpful, and thanks to them we can finally use our sink again. Truly appreciate the great service!" read more

Isela, a maintenance technician, is wonderful. She is friendly, courteous, helpful, professional, and certainly knows how to get things done. My kitchen sink drain pipe was leaking badly, and she had it repaired very quickly. Additionally, my HVAC condensate drain pipe was clogged, resulting in a bothersome noise in the bathroom sink. She went right to work on that and had it cleared in a short time. I have lived here for five years and have had very few maintenance issues. But if I need to request maintenance again, I would be very pleased to see Isela answering the call. read more

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Julia from the leasing office. She always handles everything clearly, accurately, and to the point -- never any mistakes, never any delays. No matter what kind of request I have, Julia takes care of it right away and always follows through until everything is fully resolved. I've reached out to other managers before, but my issues often remained unsolved. Julia is the only one who consistently gets things done perfectly. I'm truly glad that our community has such a professional, responsible, and dedicated employee. She makes living here a much better experience! read more

Such a great place to live! Elizabeth Made My Apartment Search a Truly Enjoyable Experience I can't say enough wonderful things about Elizabeth! From the very first interaction, she has been incredibly helpful, kind, and patient. Apartment hunting can be stressful, but Elizabeth made the entire process so much easier with her clear explanations, guidance, and reassuring presence. One of the things I appreciate most about Elizabeth is how easy she is to talk to. She takes the time to really listen and understand what you need, and she never makes you feel rushed or like just another applicant. Instead, she creates a welcoming and comfortable environment, making sure every question is answered and every concern is addressed. Beyond her professionalism, Elizabeth has a way of making you feel at ease. She brings a sense of calm and confidence to the process, which made all the difference for me. Her knowledge, warmth, and genuine care are truly unmatched. I'm so grateful for her help, and I highly recommend working with her if you're looking for an apartment. She's simply the best! read more

Elizabeth was amazing. My grandmother had some medical issues and was having difficulty with the garage scanner and her fobs for the apartment. But Elizabeth was very efficient and helped us so much. I really appreciate her and I think she is such a valuable member of the team here at Promenade. The apartment itself is also great, my grandmother is comfortable here and it's people like Elizabeth who make the experience that much better read more

This team is beyond incompetent. I've lived at multiple apartment complexes over the past ten years and I've never interacted with a resident team that is this incompetent. The property manager is nowhere to be found and can only be met through a booked appointment. As others have stated here, Building 9 is infested with ants. There are thousands of ants coming out of the floors, baseboards, and walls. The day I moved in there were dead ants all over the apartment and a few hours after move in they all started to come out of every crack across the apartment. All of my furniture, the floors, countertops are all covered in ants. I set out bait traps that are designed to draw more out and take 1-3 days to kill the nest. The leasing office sent pest control on Day 2 WITHOUT me signing the pest control release and entered while I was not in the unit. Pest control sprayed the chemicals all over the ant bait completely making the bait void and not solving the issue. We're on day 5 now and the ants are already coming back. The brand new apartment now has dead ants and pest chemical oil all over the floors and baseboards. I asked to speak to a manager at the resident office and was told that I had to make an appointment. We made an appointment for two days out and it was then cancelled due to "unforeseen circumstances" via voicemail. I asked for the cleaning crew to come out to the unit to properly clean the new unit of the dead ants and pesticide. I waited until 5:30pm for cleaning at which point the resident services team left a voicemail telling me that cleaning couldn't come due to the chemicals from pest control and they would come the following day. The cleaning crew has yet to come to the unit and it's been 3 days since they were originally scheduled to come out. I've never experienced this type of disorganization and incompetence from a resident team. read more

Promenade at Irvine Spectrum - Not the kind of pool you expect when you come to swim - Apartments Near Me - Irvine, California

In my opinion, the Promenade Apartment is the ideal living choice in Irvine. I've been thoroughly enjoying the luxurious lifestyle offered here, including the stunning pools, modern and spacious gym, and diverse breakfast options available at the on-site cafe. The most import thing I have been impressed is the maintenance service, the engineers are very kindly and super professional that I feel like they can fix everything from Whirlpool or LG. Isela Amaro, whom I see regularly around the apartment complex and always greet with a friendly hello, paid me a visit to help me with an issue I was having with my Whirlpool dishwasher. She quickly identified the cause of the problem and she resolved it efficiently and professionally. Her passion for work was truly impressive. Now that I'm writing, let me tell you guys a few things about the advantages and disadvantages of this apartment to people who are looking for it in Irvine. 1. Quietness and Transportation convenience The apartment complex is a mere 15-minute drive from John Wayne Airport and only half a mile from 405, offering convenient access to the freeway. Despite its proximity to the highway, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the absence of freeway noise. After a long drive, you'll appreciate the ease of getting home with just one traffic light and one stop sign along the way. Additionally, Interstate 5 is only five minutes away, and you'll spot Costco just before approaching the freeway entrance. In addition, If you like Laguna Beach, it's the one of the closest apartment in Irvine. 2. Whole Foods It's a five-minute walk down the lush, wooded, lyrical trails that take you to Whole Foods. It's actually across the street from the intersection. Being able to walk through an Amazon return is also an unexpected convenience. If you're serious about price when you're buying groceries, get an apartment near Walmart or Costco (even, 5-minute drive away), value organic farming and family health, and find reasonable prices, then Whole Foods is your best bet. If you don't want to cook and feel burdened by restaurants being a bit expensive, you can scale up your favorite food (I recommend fried chicken) at Whole Foods' food court, and some bartenders recommend different draft beers and always keep my name in mind to say hello. Great note, this isn't a review of Whole Foods. 3. Safety For added security, electronic key tags are required to access various areas within the apartment complex. You'll need to use your key tag at the main apartment building entrance, indoor parking lot on each floor (with remote detection), swimming pool, gym, and delivery locker areas(parcel pending). Mail is securely delivered to the designated mail rooms located within each building, while parcels are handled through the three Parcel Pending rooms. This setup ensures that both your mail and packages are well-protected, giving you peace of mind that they won't be lost or misplaced. 4. Real Hardwood style floor If you're sensitive to dust so prefer hardwood-style flooring, this apartment might be the perfect choice for you. Notably, every first-floor unit features full hardwood floors, including in the master bedrooms. From the second floor onwards, you'll find carpets exclusively in the master bedrooms, while other areas maintain the hardwood style. Out of the 15 Irvine Company apartments I toured, this was the only one that offered hardwood flooring throughout the entire unit. That unique feature ultimately led me to choose this apartment and sign the lease. 5. Promenade The Promenade is the promenade. When choosing an Irvine Company apartment, it's worth considering the nearby promenade. The adjacent walkway is very long, tree-lined, and well-maintained, making it a popular spot for families with children and dog owners to take leisurely strolls. This evening, I plan to go for a walk around 7:30, and I'm already looking forward to experiencing the beautiful California sunset and potentially encountering rabbits along the way. The promenade connects to the Los Olivos Apartments, and in December, you'll be delighted to pass by houses adorned with festive Christmas decorations. 6. Model home This is the only Irvine Company apartment I'm aware of that features a model home. The exceptional quality and design of the model house are so impressive that it makes one feel inclined to sign a lease immediately. Given the popularity of this apartment complex, it would be wise to sign a lease promptly if you've had the chance to tour the model home and are satisfied with what you've seen. In fact, I once hesitated for a single day when considering a unit with a full pool view and during that time, someone else secured the unit before I could make my decision. read more

This property towed my friend's car after just one day, simply because we're new residents at building 9 and hadn't set up the Reliant Parking App yet. What's worse, they never sent me an access code to register. They didn't bother to resend the code or even check in about the situation--they just called the towing company, and the car was gone overnight. Keep this in mind if you're considering leasing here. read more

Am I a senior at the complex and was very frustrated dealing with payment issues so I came to the RSO office and Erika was so kind and patient and help me form A to Z. She made this matter that seemed so difficult to me so easy and smooth. I am so grateful and I will be coming back to her all the time. Especially whenever I have an important need. I love Promenade! read more

Promenade at Irvine Spectrum - Office - Apartments Near Me - Irvine, California

Been living here for about 7 months and honestly is the best place I've ever lived. I read these other reviews and was nervous I was missing something when touring, but it's honestly great for us. Samuel with maintenance is great! Just fixed our dryer quickly and was super nice. I will say that if you do have issues (which we haven't had often which is why we might love it), the front office basically never picks up the phone and you have to walk there to speak with anyone. They are really understaffed it seems like. Additionally, they just apparently covertly checked if we had bidets while changing our air filters which is pretty weird. They then lied and said that our bidets have caused leaks below us (impossible as ours connect outside of the wall and do not leak inside of our bathroom. Called multiple plumbers who confirmed that this couldn't happen) and that we need to remove them, but I found out they sent this same thing to everyone who had a bidet. Feels a bit dishonest to do that and should have just asked us to remove. Other than that, love it here and the maintanence team is great as well as all the people involved with keeping the plants / grass / facilities clean and taken care of. read more

I put in a request this morning for my heater not working and my maintenance technician came and very quickly figured out how to fix the problem later in the afternoon. Such quick service and so friendly, thank you Isela Amaro! read more

The maintenance team here is top notch! I just moved here and they've been amazing. Isela helped me out with my lock. My washer started acting up right before she arrived and she also helped fix that although that wasn't on the work order. Also helped fix my front door from slamming without asking - didn't even know that could be adjusted! Isela went above and beyond Reason for the 4 stars is because unfortunately I'm still having some pest issues. But overall my experience with the staff and living here has been good. read more

We've been living at the Promenade Apartments for over 3 years, and I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible maintenance team--especially Mehdi. We've had a few issues during our time here, and every single time, Mehdi has gone above and beyond to help us. He is extremely professional, patient, polite, and friendly, with an excellent attitude. Mehdi always ensures the job is done perfectly and doesn't stop until we're 100% satisfied. Honestly, his service has exceeded our expectations--especially compared to other buildings we've lived in before. The team responds very quickly--usually within 24 hours of submitting a request online--and they're always kind and respectful. We truly appreciate the outstanding service and feel lucky to have such a dedicated and caring team here. Thank you, Mehdi, for everything! read more

Major kudos and huge thanks to Isela Amaro for promptly responding to our maintenance call to fix and replace the pipe under the leaking sink in the kitchen. In addition, she also cleaned / removed sediments in the pipe-filters in the washing machine. This is not the first time we've called Isela (specifically her!). She is very courteous, friendly, and takes the time to explain what's wrong and how she's going to fix this. Keep up the good work! read more

Their sales consultants will lie to you about key issues during your application and leasing process. Irvine Company requires that you tour the units using a "self-guided tour," through a mobile phone app that occasionally works, but often does not. If you try to reach a member of staff, you are redirected to an off-site sales consultant who seemingly has never even visited the property. You will be given various incorrect information, as your sales consultant lies to you throughout the process to ensure they close the deal. My perception is that the sales consultant simply does not know the answers to various questions (they're out of state and don't know the property well, and apparently are poorly trained to answer key questions). But instead of collecting the information and getting back to you, they tell you whatever they think you want to hear. I was given blatantly false assurances about both my unit and my parking spots. Irvine Company does not care. Once you sign the lease, you should expect that management will not concern themselves with whatever false promises their sales consultants made to induce your signature on that lease. The sales consultants lie with impunity. Beware. read more

The only reason I took off two stars from a five-star rating is due to the rising rent prices every year with no exceptions. especially considering I've lived here for over four years. Additionally, this is not a gated community, and people from outside frequently come to use the gym, coffee shop/bar, and fireplace, which often leaves little space for actual residents. On top of that, I still have to pay out of pocket for maintenance at the end of each month, which doesn't feel fair. However, the remaining three stars are solely for the amazing team at the Promenade office Erica, Melika, and Melissa. They are incredibly professional, kind, and always well-presented. They provide as much information as possible and are always patient and helpful. I especially want to acknowledge Melika, who speaks multiple languages a huge asset that's especially helpful in such a diverse community. I truly hope corporate considers hiring more people like them in every office. read more
