I want to start this by saying I have never really loved any apartments I’ve lived in. Something has always kept me from coming home and feeling like «wow I love my place». I have lived at park place now for 4 months and everytime I come home I think «HOLY CRAP I LOVE MY APARTMENT!» The grounds are immaculately kept, it’s ridiculous. It even smells nice when you walk down your hall, kind of like at Disneyland in soaring over California when they pump the yummy smells in the ride. It makes me smile everytime. The maintenance staff is on point, they’re there before I can hit send on my maintenance request! The staff in the office is amazing, they scanned and emailed me a important document I had to send out since I don’t have a scanner without seeming annoyed or put out. Plus they’re always so friendly when I see them on the property and know my name. The layout of the apartment itself is perfect and open. Tons of light and I’m obsessed with the floors and island in the kitchen.
I want to address a review that complains about the smoke alarms. Would you rather burn up in your apartment while you’re sleeping or be warned if there’s a fire? I’ll take the loud noise warning me of a fire thank you. I have heard it go off once, and that was because someone put out a lit cigarette in a planter that had PLASTIC PLANTS IN IT! And props to the staff working that night who were on top of it and the fire department who got there so quickly!
I love it here and never want to leave!!!

Stayed here temporarily between moves and was disturbed by the behavior of the apartment tenants and the employees at the nearby business complex. The majority of the area traffic goes 2 to 3 times to posted 20 MPH limit, run stops signs, ignore people in the crosswalks. I would not recommend this apartment complex. Not a safe place. They also have the slowest elevators on the planet.

Park Place has been a great place to live since moving from San Diego. As great of a complex it is, it also exceeds in service.
I used to work for a retailer that prides itself in customer service and the service Nicolas provided was exceptional. I had asked Nicolas to print something for me as a favor. While I was waiting he did not hesitate to ask me if I wanted a beverage. All in all, I never felt like I was bothering him. He was warm, welcoming, and attentive. Nicolas know that your service doesn’t go unnoticed, no matter how minute the task may seem. I was so impressed that I wanted to e-​mail management, lo and behold he was the manager!
On another note, another member of the team I would like to point out for exceptional service is Nathan Wise. This is a bit over due, but Nathan is stellar! From promptly answering my e-​mails, to diffusing noise complaints, to printing favors (again), and delivering my package to me because I was unable to go to the leasing office. He has gone above and beyond, I truly appreciate it all he does. I don’t want to keep rambling, but Park Place is lucky to have him! I’m sure he must have pulled a few pages from the Nordstrom handbook.
I’m a bit surprised by the negative reviews. Please go see management, I’m sure they would make it right.

Although I did not end up signing at Park Place, I have to give a major compliment to Tatyana for being so kind and helpful. Tatyana is extremely professional and was able to answer every question I had. I loved the complex, especially the clean and easily accessible parking garage, however, I was able to find a bit larger unit for the price outside of Irvine. I really wish this apartment had better use of storage /​closet space, or I would have definitely signed. Thank you, Tatyana, for the great tour! 5 stars!

I deleted my last review to add a review after almost 10 month of living in park place.
first of all some of this reviews which are 5 stars: I am pretty sure in the leasing office they offer people to waive application fee if they write a good review for them on Unilocal, once I bring it up to a lady who called me for lease renewal, after 30 Second she just tried to hang up to not answer for that. point is I do not trust good reviews that this guys are getting and I don’t think anybody should. I wish we residents of here could gather together to follow up with this subject and find out why they are manipulating the reviews and making ones who are planning to lease apartment here to read wrong information and follow it up legally if there is any possibility.
regardless of the STAFF which everybody has reviewed them as being not a proper ones, the studio I live in is full of ants, it is almost 6 month I am fighting with ants and yet I am having hundreds of them everywhere in my house.
Elevators are stress source. it takes 5 mins for each trip with this elevators and almost once a week the elevator close to my apartment in not operational and stuck in some floor. also it takes them almost a full day to solve the issue each time !!!
I was concerned about security being always seen and make the tenants uncomfortable, it is solved and I would consider it as my misjudgment since security guards are nice and friendly.
Game room is overrated and it is nothing there after almost 6 month of its opening even
though one of manager tell me the opening day it is just first we are gonna add stuff here there is nothing been changes since that day.
you can hear if anybody walks upstairs. the quality of built is as low as possible for keeping the built price low but it has not affected the rent of the apartment since Irvine company is the boss right now they are doing whatever they want.
««I am adding this to answer your statement regarding your are humbled about reviews on Unilocal,changing the subject is not an answer. Easily give me one reason why you have offered waiving the application fee instead of writing a good review on Unilocal for you. Inform me which legal unit has given you that right and prove it by a document, I know enough people that have been offered by this shameful application waiving method »

It’s 2:10am in the morning and our smoke detectors start to beep again. Every couple of days these stupid cheap detectors randomly beeps throughout the day. This is a new apartment building less than 1.5 years old and has so many issues. I am paying premium here but this is what we get. My son is traumatized by the fire alarm in this place as they go off so many times.
I am not sure how to deal with this any more.

I moved into Park Place in September of 2014 and I have been very happy there. I think my favorite part is the concierge style experience that you have with the leasing office any time you walk in there. First of all, the leasing offices themselves have a 4⁄5 star hotel-​type feel, and everyone looks very clean-​cut and professional. They jump to attention when you walk in and bend over backwards to see how they can help. Abrahan Salazar in particular has always been very helpful with me. He even personally dropped off a package to my unit since I arrived after hours to pick it up. He also walked all the way to the other side of the complex to check on a garage gate that I told him wasn’t working well.
The amenities are top-​notch and my guests are often surprised at how resort style the place is with comfortable outdoor furniture placed throughout the complex, as well as stainless steel BBQs, and the huge pool/​spas with cabanas, etc. The gym has everything you need!
The actual units themselves are great as welll: high ceilings; very nice fixtures/​finishes; large windows; gas ranges; stainless steel appliances, etc.
I think the only advice I would give someone of a potential «con» to living there, is if you choose a unit facing Michelson (as I did), be prepared for some noise… that street is a lot busier than I realized, and with another 500 unit apt complex and hotel being built down the street, it will only get busier… but the views of the nature preserve across the street help balance out the noise that is mainly during rush hour in the morning and evening. There are tenants who have exotic cars there and like to drive them pretty fast on Michelson at night, but if the Irvine PD monitors that, that problem can be mitigated.

I moved into Park Place earlier this year and I really love it! It’s a very large apartment complex right off the 405. I live in a unit facing the freeway so I was initially worried about the noise, but it’s surprisingly very quiet.
I live in a studio which is pricey, but I really do love it here and I think the price is warranted. There is a decent sized gym, two large clubhouses, and three pools. All facilities are kept clean at all times. The only bad experience I’ve had is an encounter with a cockroach in the hallway right outside my unit. I notified maintenance and they said they would take care of it. I haven’t seen any other roaches since then so I hope it’s taken care of.
My other complaint is that the elevators are EXTREMELY slow. I swear, sometimes you have to wait forever for it to come. Also, I hate that my parking spot is so far from my unit. I asked for a closer spot when I first moved in but they said they could not change it.
Other than that, I would highly recommend living at Park Place if you don’t mind spending the money.

First of all, five stars for the maintenance team, Viktor and Juan Carlos are very good at their job, they are super friendly and finished the service efficiently. After one day my service request submitted, they called and made an appointment, arrived on time and fixed my blinds within half an hour. Thank you!!!
I have lived here for nine months and pretty satisfied with most of it, yes the elevator is kind of slow, yes the fire alarm went crazy at the beginning but it is normal now, and yes the managed team at leasing office is kind of inefficient (haven’t received my referral check after nine months yet). However, every staff (except one lady named Tessa in the leasing office who always has the cold face and don’t care anything you say) tries and works super hard to provide a better environment for us, and I am very grateful for that.

For apartment living with great amenities, look no further than Park Place.
The staff is always nice and accommodating for us, and very on point. We had a problem with our dishwasher and I called the office to have it repaired. Justin was very friendly and we were able to have our dishwasher replaced in a pretty reasonable amount of time.
I think a lot of reviews might come from people that might not be used to living in large apartment complexes. We got to know our neighbors and since we moved in we’ve been super happy with the location, the unit, and the price.

I live here, and it’s reasonably priced for what you get. I like that it’s always very clean, and new! But downside there’s are lots of single males living here and, I have tons of single male neighbors that constantly hit on me. (Annoying)
Staff is also kinda slow! Seriously… Slow. Abraham is the only helpful person in the office that tries to be efficient and address concerns. Also they tried to add some unauthorized charges to my account. But I got those taken off, (Seriously unprofessional though).
Now, my only problem with this place are the Elevators!!! They are so f**king horrible, the worst. Everyone complains about them, they should fix them, seriously, it doesn’t need to be that slow. No other complex has such slow elevators, this needs to be sent to corporate! And needs to be fixed ASAP!
Please fix the elevators, I’m sure you’ve heard about this daily.

If you want to live in an ant place, please choose PARK PLACE! Expensive rent plus lots of ants, you would love it :) can’t even move out! Cuz we will have to break the lease! But the lease never tells you that you will have to live with ants and be friends with them! Seriously, the living quality is really bad!

BAIT and SWITCH. We had a signed lease and had paid our first month’s rent when I received a phone call that the previous tenants decided to stay. This was three weeks before we were supposed to move in – two weeks before we needed to vacate our house located in another state and drive across the country. The only options we were given were either to get a comparable unit FOR MORE MONEY or accept an inferior apartment for the same price. I was told that the manager had refused to match the price of the unit (that we had a signed lease for!) because «there was no way corporate would approve it.» There was no offer to assist us in finding another apartment at an Irvine Companies property. All the leasing agent said was, «I’m sorry. If I were you, I’d be mad too.» The agent said all of our money would be refunded. I’m holding out hope that it will be.
I don’t usually post Unilocal reviews but I wanted to warn people of the way these people do business. Either they rented us a unit where the tenants hadn’t given notice OR they decided to screw us when a tenant who had given notice changed their mind.

I have been looking out my windows for over four weeks the patios on four apartments are being used for storage and empty boxes we rented a storage unit to place our storage tubs
We thought the the patios were for patio furniture in case you wanted to enjoy the out doors
I now am shutting the blinds so I don’t have to look at the clutter stacked on the patios
This is suppose to be a more expensive apartment because management treats everyone equal disapointed

It’s not a *** community at all. when I see some of the reviews I remembered that they suggested us they can wave the application fee if we write a good review of them at Unilocal !!!
I wish I could give them no star, the worse community ever, i don’t know how a very rude person can be a manager at one of Irvine company’s apartments .
I am sure Irvine company lost, is loosing and will lose many costumers because of the staff and manager of this community …
I lived here for 6 months and we had some problems and although we talked with the staff and manager they didn’t solve our problems and the manager suggested that we can move to another community instead of solving our problems !!!

It’s a very nice and clean apartment facility. However when I’m paying over 2K, I expect to get my beauty sleep and not be woken up by the fire alarm every day.
The alarm system needs to be fixed, or I will not renew my lease. Other than that; Great Place!

I can tell my long drawn out story, but I won’t.
Living here I have learned that no matter what the issue is that the tenant is wrong and the office management is right. If you have an issue and would like to discuss it, be prepared to be talked down to with an extremely condescending tone from one of the helpful staff.
When speaking with a member of the Park Place staff, as opposed to treating me as an important tenant or trying to understand that there may be a legitimate problem with their process, that was never a consideration for this individual.
The most important outcome to this person was not to keep a customer but to continue to talk down to me.
I have been with Irvine Properties since 2008 and never has someone from their properties spoke to me with such a cavalier uncaring attitude.
Based on my interaction with this one employee I would never recommend Park Place to anyone.
Pro’s
Clean New Property
Stainless Steel Appliance’s
Maintenance People are really great, nice an helpful
Con’s
Sterile impersonal environment
Over Priced for what you are paying for
Slow Elevators!
Abnormal layout (try to take the stairs to the parking garage from the 4th floor)
Rude condescending staff
Continual Fire Alarm Testing
No Visitor Parking
An overall sense of entitlement from the majority of the tenants
(the family on our floor leave their personal possessions and garbage outside of their door continually and then park their cars in our parking space. ugggh
Ant problems
ceiling leaking from upstairs not once, put twice (prepare for the next 48 hours to be occupied with huge dehumidifiers running in your apartment). — Great for guests or if you don’t want to sleep. Also they plug these into your electrical supply so you will also pay a nice large extra bump in your electric bill.
My family and I come from modest means, we don’t fit in here.

I love it here at Park Place. I’m actually surprised by the negative reviews. I moved here when it first opened in August ’14. The staff is great, especially the GM, Lauren. She goes out of her way to make sure residents are happy. Lindsay and Ryan are awesome as well! They are very attentive and provide great customer service. The maintenance staff always responds to maintenance requests pretty fast and they always make sure all the common areas (e.g. Clubhouse, Game Room, Pool areas, BBQs, etc.) are clean.
The interior of the apartments are nice. Nice wood flooring, stainless steel appliances, open kitchen layout with island, and large windows. Park Place is centrally located which is nice, because it’s just a short drive to the beach and freeways.
My lease ends soon, but I think I will upgrade to a larger unit. Hands down, Park Place is much nicer than other Irvine Company apartments in the Irvine/​Newport Area.

Instead of writing a drawn out review, I thought it would be easier to read in the form of a pros and cons list.
Pros:
— one of the nicest apartments in Irvine, great amenities, higher end appliances, and nice overall apartment design/​layout
— extremely nice and helpful staff. I’ve had one maintenance request and it was handled within the hour.
— great location and ample guest parking compared to other Irvine company apartments
Cons:
— recently had an ant problem inside our apartment and we don’t leave anything food out. Also have spotted cockroaches in the hallways
— cigarette smoke in the hallways and elevators. Constantly find mashed up cigarette butts in elevators and halls. Disgusting
— people smoking weed in the parking garages and elevators
— elevators are some of the slowest I’ve ever witnessed. During morning and evening rush hour it can take 5 mins or longer before you can get on
— depending on where your apartment is located it can be a huge pain to get to the mail box.
— the entire park place complex is huge. It’s so difficult to have things delivered or tell people how to get to your apartment.
With that being said, I think for the price of rent here you would expect nothing but the best. But there are some extremely filthy people who live here and definitely ruin the environment.

Quite frankly, I’m scratching my head trying to understand some of these overwhelmingly negative reviews. Most of them are so utterly ridiculous that I would hope you dismiss them.
I’ve lived in Park Place for nearly three months. I love my studio– the quality is top notch. Location is very central, staff is great, maintenance staff is lovely.
Now, maybe I’m biased as I chose an apartment on the top floor, but I’ve not had any noise issues whatsoever. «Paper thin walls» ??? Remember, you’re living in an apartment. Of course you’re going to hear neighbors from time to time; they’re not freestanding structures.
