Too cramped..hard to move in.

Move in day was very difficult. No easy way to your apartment. Guest parking is very limited. I felt cramped while living there. The walls seemed very thin and we could hear our neighbors. Not worth the money. I would recommend another community.

    Sound transparent building!

    The apartment was brand new when we rented it so everything looks good for now. The floor plan is nice. It´s just to dense. and the big problem is noise. It seems the building is sound transparent. We can hear our upstairs and downstairs neighbours when they talk or when their phone rings and even when they are doing the private stuff when it´s quiet at night!!! <br> <br>If you have noisy neighbours like we did you´re going to run out of there. The office staff didn´t do much to resolve the problem.

      Q: What are some of the problems at City Lights?
      Anonymous
      Answered on: 07/25/2023
      A: Constant daily gardening noise for hours and hours Monday through Friday. Dogs always barking, excrement and fleas all over. Catalytic converter thefts. Construction noise all day every day. Homeless people living on front grass. No carpet so you hear every step your upstairs neighbor takes.

      A: The water bill is horrendous. $70 per month. I lived in other complexes in aliso and it was never over $10. City lights must be getting a kickback from the bill. The bill is paid to Conservice. Appropriately named as they are cons. Just google Conservice and see ALL the people they ripped off and no doubt gave kickbacks to the complexes.
