Avalon Irvine

I recently moved in and had the pleasure of receiving excellent assistance from technicians Wendy and Michael. They skillfully fixed any issues I had on moving in, and patiently addressed my questions about the washer. Their courteous and professional service reflects the high standards of Avalon. Grateful for their expertise and the welcoming atmosphere here!

Absolutely one of my favorite apartments, they are very kind, attentive and helpful. When a package arrived while I was out of the country I reached out and the responded back quickly and they were nice enough to place it in my apartment for me. A very kind and a maintenance worker by the name of Michael has been helpful multiple times when I’ve found myself in troublesome situations and I’m forever grateful. A team that if you look in trouble or reach out concerning in troubles they are helpful and attentive right away.

I’ve lived here nearly 3 years now. Overall I really love it. I’m in phase 3 and the unit is quiet and large. Appliances work and the loft is nice for an office space. Parking is plentiful and is free. Guest parking on the roof is nice. They do force you to have AT&T internet which I am not a fan of. As this type of forced contract is a bit monopolistic and utility monopolies shouldn’t be allowed. The gyms are nice. Phase 1 has the best gym. But the others have the basics I care about. The pools are amazing and always clean. They also aren’t used much so you pretty much always have it to yourself.

What makes this unit the best is the location. Across the street is a shopping center with lots of Asian restaurants and a Korean market. Maybe 15 minute walk other direction you have the district with loads of restaurants, AMC movie theater and target and Whole Foods. Also a McDonald’s and Taco Bell within 20 minute walk and a Walmart. Literally you are centered between all of this. I walk everywhere and the sidewalks are clean and maintained. Just be careful with cars. Driving around is also easy. You can also drive to beaches within 25 minutes, 20 minute drive to south coast plaza or fashion island mall or spectrum center (although parking there is annoying). You can easily get to 405 or 5 from this building to get wherever you are going.

The building has latch doors which is ok. They sometimes randomly log you out or take a bit to unlock when holding phone next to it. Biometric lock or custom pin would have been better.

I picked a unit facing inward of the community. While view isn’t amazing. It’s quiet. Which is important. No street outside my window. If I want a view I can go sit on the roof deck which is nice and has a fire place. Great place to chill at night.

Like a lot of things the rent has gone up 10% consistently each year. I’m hoping it stabilizes for next renewal as I think my rent is at what most other places around here go for. I’ll update here if it goes up above market. But hopefully it doesn’t and I can continue to stay here for years to come.

Overall I really like it here. First place I have lived at this long and I hope to continue. The staff and maintenance are super friendly and I have had no issues here.

Me and my husband lived here for about 4 years in this apartment. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in our apartment. The spacious layout, modern amenities, and convenient location made it an ideal living space. The responsive management as well as maintenance team- special mention to Mr. Wong. He promptly resolved all our issues. The peaceful neighborhood added to the overall positive experience. We have fond memories of our time there and would highly recommend it to others looking for a comfortable and well-maintained living environment.
