    Damaged baseboard from vendor shampooing the carpet.

    I continue to have issues at this place. A month ago I found a giant cockroach in my shower. There are a bunch of rats living in the garbage area. And I even saw a bat hanging out my neighbors apartment for a couple days. There also continues to be issues with communication and getting anything done here. The team also had vendors come stretch the carpet recently and shampoo it and they caused some damage. There's a missing chunk of carpet now, and they damaged the baseboard. One of the workers even got dirt all over my dining room chair so the other one used the shampooer to clean it. It sucks that no one knows how to do their job nowadays. Can't wait to move out next year. It's unfortunate because I love my apartment but the complex is dirty and management and their vendors are terrible.

    The Row is legit. This is coming from me who has exquisite…read moretaste in pretty much anything and everything. Just being honest. Facts are facts. I've lived in some of the nicest most luxurious apartment communities in Orange County including Halcyon House, One uptown Newport and the Royce. Even though some of the others have better "location" there is no disputing that. I believe the row has the best bang for your buck and overall the best experience. Lived at The Row at Red Hill for about a year now and it's been a great call. Location is hard to beat -- quick access to the 55 and 5, and having the onsite retail means a lot of errands happen without ever getting in the car. The amenities here are genuinely top notch -- the gym and fitness area are some of the best I've had at an apartment community, and the rooftop pools are a huge win, especially living in SoCal. Those two alone get a ton of use from me and they're kept up well, which honestly matters more day-to-day than people expect. The gym is probably as good as it gets for OC as far as apartment communities are concerned. But the real reason I'm writing this is Jose and Margarita. Jose handles the outdoor common areas -- streets, the dog park, landscaping -- and it's obvious he takes pride in it. The man does not play around, he does the job perfectly. The grounds always look sharp, not just "fine." Margarita covers the parking garage and building hallways, and same thing: consistently clean, no slacking, every single day. It's easy for property management to talk about amenities and community, but what actually makes a place livable is people like Jose and Margarita showing up and doing the work right, day in and day out. That's the difference between an apartment complex that looks good in photos and one that's actually well run. This one's the latter, and a big part of that is them. Honorable mention to everyone else. The leasing staff as well as resident relations team are always super nice and professional. Five stars, easy recommend.

    My wife and I moved into The Row approximately one month ago, and unfortunately, our experience has…read morebeen extremely disappointing--especially considering this is the most expensive apartment community we have ever lived in. Since moving in, we have dealt with an ongoing ant infestation throughout our unit, primarily in the kitchen. We have found ants around the stove, microwave, cabinets, countertops, and numerous other areas. This is not an occasional ant or two; it has been a persistent problem that has made us extremely uncomfortable in our own home. Management has sent pest control to our unit twice. The first treatment did little, if anything, to improve the problem. Pest control returned two days later, and we were instructed to leave our home for four hours following the treatment. What concerned me most was how quickly the second visit appeared to be completed. After letting the technician into the unit, I left to walk my dog and briefly stopped at our vehicle on the second floor to drop something off. I was at my vehicle for approximately 30 seconds. By the time I reached the first floor, the technician was already downstairs with me. Based on that timeline, he could not have been inside our unit for more than a couple of minutes. I do not understand how an entire unit with a widespread infestation could have been thoroughly inspected and treated in that amount of time. I have repeatedly expressed my concerns to the leasing office, but the only solution offered has been to send pest control back yet again. No meaningful alternative, cleaning assistance, rent or fee consideration, or other accommodation has been offered despite the continued disruption. I work from home and have meetings and important deadlines throughout the day. I cannot repeatedly vacate my home for four hours only to have someone seemingly spend a couple of minutes inside without resolving the problem. It's already been 2 times and there's no improvement and quite frankly, it seems like a "sucks it's your problem, but thankfully it's not mine" type of mentality. At this price point, we expected a much higher level of service and responsiveness. Instead, we feel that once our lease was signed and our rent was secured, our concerns stopped being treated with urgency. We are not asking for special treatment--we are asking for effective pest control and a management response that reflects the amount residents are paying to live here. I've had a PLETHORA of ants crawling on my back, face, etc. and I'm over it. Based on our experience during our first month, I strongly recommend that prospective residents ask detailed questions about pest problems and how management handles unresolved maintenance issues before signing a lease. I sincerely hope management takes meaningful action to resolve this situation, and I will update this review if the problem is properly addressed.

The lobby/leasing office/mail area really makes a grand impression when you first see it and it stands out above every other complex that I have toured. Flooring/thickness: 2/5 Soundproofing of the flooring in the unit above gets a 0/5 You will hear a dog running back and forth. You can definitely hear anyone without slippers or if they drop something on the floor. and it's horrible if they have people over. Luck of the draw here of your neighbor. I was lucky the first 24 months, but now I have to move because of this as talking to them didn't help. It's "just apartment living" is how it's dismissed. It's constant sounds 16 hours a day now and unlivable for me as it constantly occupies your attention even until 2 AM. You will need to get a top floor as the noise leaks through. The adjacent wall sound isolation gets a 4.5/5 You will rarely hear them unless a sound speaker is cranked up or if the sounds leak in from the hallway. Noise pollution: 2/5 -Outside facing apartments will get the freeway noises of loud cars racing down the freeway. -Mall facing apartments will get loud cars without mufflers and motorcycles. -Inside facing apartments will get parties or pool sounds and kids screaming Air Quality: 3/5 Obviously close to the freeway, you can see black particulate that isn't dust build up atop your car. Ventilation fans and the front door also pull in smoke and grilling smell from people cooking in the patio if your apartment is in the path of the natural draft. Mail / Locker system: 5/5 Mail, Package lockers, and a package room Garage / EV Charging: 5/5 More Charging spots and setups than other complexes Blind spot mirrors around corners installed Spots are decent sized Keys / Access: 5/5 FOB or App/phone entry. No keys or code panel entry. On-site Leasing Office and Patrol: 5/5 They're onsite and responsive. Most places are outsourced, or off-site. Overnight patrol as well for security. Charles is great at the leasing office and helped me with a transfer. Intrusiveness: 3/5 Odd one but they will need to enter your apartment even if you are not home almost every 2 months due to annual inspections with more than two days notice: Fire Alarm, HVAC, Dryer Cleaning, Water Meter, Smoke Alarm, Appliance Inspection, etc. Walkability: 3.5/5 The closed off wellsfargo lot and missing sidewalk, and mall construction lower the score a bit for the area around, but there is still a mall you can walk through. The closed off wells fargo & missing sidewalk somewhat impedes the walkability to the local mother's market and chipotle. This remains a 4/5 after touring 18 more complexes in the local 10 miles. The score stays high as I've chosen to move within the complex for a continued stay and to avoid the annoyance and costs of fully moving. If you are sensitive to noise, this might lower to a 3/5. If I were not already here, this would still be in the top 3. It takes a lot for someone to review or bother to update one but i am annoyed enough to do so.

I was never late on my rent because my payments were set up on autopay. What is frustrating is that whenever management wants money from you, they have no problem texting, calling, and emailing repeatedly. But when it comes to communicating important information that affects you financially, that same level of communication seems to disappear. During my last year there, I was charged an additional $265 per month for a month-to-month rate. Not once did management have the courtesy to call or email me to clearly explain why I was suddenly being charged hundreds of dollars more every month. After living there for five years and consistently paying my rent, I expected much better communication. The amenities were another disappointment. The bowling alley was constantly out of service, the pool was old, and other equipment and amenities seemed to work one day and be broken the next. You are paying for amenities that you cannot consistently use. I also went through an extremely disturbing incident while living there when someone fell from a balcony and landed on my patio and died. Despite how traumatic that experience was, I never caused problems for management or used it as a reason to complain about the property. At one point, I asked about transferring to a two-bedroom apartment. Management told me there was only one available and that I could only see it on a Friday. I waited a week, called that Friday morning to confirm my appointment, and suddenly I was told the apartment had already been rented. How does that happen when I was specifically told to wait until Friday to see it? In hindsight, I am very glad I did not transfer into another unit there. That same day, I gave management verbal notice that I would be moving out. They asked me to submit the notice through their portal, but, as happened often, the portal was not working. I ended up sending the notice directly by email. During my final week, I contacted management to make sure there was nothing else I needed to do before moving. I was then told that they supposedly had no record or knowledge that I was leaving and wanted to charge me for an additional full month. I had already committed to and was paying rent at my new place. I had to escalate the situation to higher management just to get the additional charge reduced. Even after escalating it, I still ended up paying for approximately 10 extra days that I did not expect to pay. Now, after moving out, they are asking me for even more money for cleaning, after already using my entire $500 security deposit. I expected to receive at least part of my deposit back, or at the very least walk away owing nothing more. I originally did not want to post a negative review after living there for so many years. However, after receiving repeated communications asking for more money, I feel other people considering The Marke should know what my experience was like. After five years as a resident who paid rent on time, I expected basic communication, reasonable treatment, and some level of appreciation for being a long-term tenant. Instead, my final experience was stressful, expensive, and extremely disappointing. I would not recommend The Marke to anyone looking for a place to live.

Then when I get a keys I was supposed with the quality of the unit, dishwasher was rusty,air vents where rusty and old, paint was only touched up with similar color not the same color. Also you could see per and human hair throughout the walls.i submitted everything via move in sheets. I also mentioned on the paper to send some to double check which was ignored from the office. Other issues that I had to break my lease was because this is a very old building and they didn't take care of it, walls and floors are super thin and you can hear everything your neighbors doing, including when they take shower or doing laundry or even going to bathroom, Not mentioning all over property is cover with parking and people alarms go off middle of the night because of the wild life around the property. Also if you like cockroaches you more than welcome to walk through the property and they are everywhere inside and out. They are usually very large and I believe this property lake of management. In addition most of your neighbors doing Airbnb or workikg from their garages and they don't care about it, even though it's forbidden by Irvine company. When I moved out they charged my $350 plus for the paint and I was only here for 6 months. And $190 for a 1 bed cleaning, home was almost spotless when I left! I reached out to the office and they send me a paper from somewhere for $220 showing me apartments was painted before I move in which is not true because my movie in sheets show's otherwise. So save yourself and check out other Newport Beach properties, this one definitely need new management.

My application was ultimately rejected, yet I have still not received my refund. This is extremely concerning and unacceptable. In California, retaining funds without proper justification may violate California Business & Professions Code §17200 (unfair business practices) and other consumer protection laws. What makes this even more frustrating is that it feels like I am being taken advantage of. As a younger applicant, it seems like they assume I won't follow up or take action to recover my money. That assumption is completely wrong. Failing to return a promised refund is not just unethical--it raises serious legal concerns. If this is not resolved immediately, I will be filing formal complaints with the California Department of Consumer Affairs, the Better Business Bureau, and exploring further legal action.

Every place will have its issues…read more However, for the amount of rent we pay, I don't believe this property provides the level of service or responsiveness that should come with the price. I'm writing this to help future residents make an informed decision. My biggest piece of advice: get everything in writing. If you're told something during your tour or over the phone, ask for it in an email or have it written down. In my experience, verbal statements have not always been consistent. For example, during our initial tour we were quoted a discounted rental price. Fortunately, my boyfriend asked the manager to write the price down on a sticky note. When we later called to move forward with the lease, we were told that was no longer the price. It wasn't until we showed them the written note that they honored what we had originally been told. More recently, someone parked in our assigned parking space. When my boyfriend contacted management, we were initially told that we had the wrong parking space number. Thankfully, he had taken a photo of the parking assignment that management provided us. After we sent it to them, they realized they had assigned the same parking space to another resident. Rather than acknowledging the mistake, the solution was simply to move us to a different parking space. One thing I've also noticed is that management often prefers to discuss concerns over the phone instead of through email. While phone conversations can be helpful, I highly recommend following up in writing so there is documentation of what was discussed. Another disappointment has been the amenities. Since we moved in last September, the outdoor pool television has repeatedly been out of service. The complex has scheduled resident movie night( one in October and another recently in June) that had to be canceled because the television wasn't working. Despite bringing this up multiple times, we've repeatedly been told it's functioning properly, even though I have videos showing otherwise. The soundproofing has also not matched what we were told during our tour. We were informed that the building had special insulation to minimize noise between units. Unfortunately, the walls are much thinner than expected, and it's easy to hear neighboring apartments. Lastly, one of the amenities we were excited about was the Butterfly entry system. Installation took much longer than expected, and when we asked about the delay, there didn't seem to be much urgency. Unfortunately, it wasn't until a serious incident occurred that action was finally taken. A homeless individual entered the building while the system was still not operational. The individual appeared to be under the influence, was swinging a belt around, and another resident had to step in to help remove him from the building. Multiple residents witnessed the incident and reported it to management. Only after that did the installation seem to become a priority. Again, no apartment community is perfect, and I understand that issues happen. What has been most frustrating is the lack of accountability, inconsistent communication, and the feeling that concerns are not addressed with the urgency you'd expect given the cost of living here. If you're considering leasing here, my advice is simple: document everything, communicate by email whenever possible, and make sure any promises made during the leasing process are provided in writing.
