Apartment Review for Casa Del Sol Apartments - Huntington Beach, CA

My neighbors and I have had at least 2 plumbing problems every month for the past 11 months each - one month my wife and I had 3 sewage overflows and 3 kitchen sink overflows. There is mold growing on the walls and a horrible sewage smell. My wife works for a private doctor and is constantly trying to keep the place sanitary since the management will not. The management refuses to permanently fix the problems. After calling their "emergency" maintenance number it ALWAYS takes a MINIMUM of 30 minutes before the maintenance people call you back. Then it takes an additional 30 minutes for them to arrive to stop the overflow. We are so glad that our lease is up and we are moving. The parking is horrible. They have rules against the storing of vehicles over 48 hours, but the management refuses to enforce them. This is even after they have been informed of the City Ordinance that allows them to tow vehicles. There are several (a minimum of 32 that I have noticed) vehicles that are stored on the property for 4 - 5 months at a time in the exact same parking spot. So this creates a huge problem for the law abiding residents like myself to be able to find parking. My neighbor and I have even been forced to park in the shopping center that is two blocks away. The manager says that his District manager will not allow him to tow the vehicles, so it is too bad. If you can't find parking, live somewhere else. The manager claimed to have ticktets and a chalk marker to at least ticket the stored vehicles, but they have not even used those. The manager also claims to have called the owners of the stored vehicles to ask them to move the vehicles, yet the vehicles are in the same exact spots month after month. On top of those problems, my neighbors and I have recently received a notice that if we want to continue living here (yeah right!) our rent will be increased substantially. What are they thinking? Let me see, they refuse to provide a sanitary and livable apartment and they make you fight to find parking AND now they want more money? For what? If you want to stay healthy and not have to fight just to find parking DO NOT MOVE HERE!
