Staff and maintenance are great, friendly and helpful. Pet owners are a little irresponsible in allowing their pets to urinate in the hallways and not everyone picks up after them...which makes no sense since there are MANY poop stations. But I enjoy the amenties and the closeness to all the shopping and park.

Considering the age of this apartment. It shouldn't cost as much as the sister community Vantis, which is only a couple of years old. It'd be nice if they cleaned the hallways more than once a year. The new pool can't be accessed except by stairs after the office closes. But the pool area remains open until 10... who cares about the ADA laws. If there was a keypad access control to the package room, after hours deliveries could be kept secure and not just dropped on doorsteps.

The fire alarms are connected for multiple units so anytime someone set off the smoke detector, it goes off in multiple units. Other than that, I don't have any major complaints. Service requests are promptly answered.

I am surrounded by wonderful people in this community. My family and I are very happy to live here. There is a plaza with shops nearby, and a farmers' market on Saturdays. There is a park and a fenced indoor playground nearby.

The facility is beautiful. Staff is more than amazing. Laura went above and beyond. I would recommend this property to all. In fact I have recommended this property to two of my friends. Every other property I looked at, the staff were inattentive and rude.

Overall good experience. The space is enough for my needs, I just wish the apartment had more storage inside. The closet is a bit smaller than what I expected. I like how spacious my balcony is and I appreciate the maintenance team who hadles requests in a timely manner.

The apartment is nice but the common areas need to be better cleaned. Hallways need to be power washed just like the other common areas like the pool. The elevator repair in building 9 took over three months to finally get fixed.

Friendly community. many families with school - age children. Excellent maintenance services. We want to stay. There is really good garage-parking for two cars. All apartments have easy access to the garages. The maintenance staff keeps the garage and access hallways clean at all times.

I recently moved into this apartment community and have been thoroughly impressed. The upgraded features, especially the LVP flooring, give the space a modern and polished look while being easy to maintain. The variety of floor plans ensures there's something for everyone, making it easy to find the perfect fit. One of the standout aspects is the breathtaking views?whether overlooking the city, green spaces, or the beautifully maintained courtyards, every angle offers something scenic. However, the best part has to be the fountains. They add a sense of tranquility, creating a peaceful atmosphere that makes coming home feel like a retreat. Overall, this apartment offers a great balance of style, comfort, and serenity. Highly recommended!

The leasing agent Devin was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we walked in, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made the entire tour experience enjoyable and informative, answering all my questions with patience and enthusiasm. It's clear she genuinely cares about helping people find the right home, and her kindness and professionalism made a lasting impression. She's truly an asset to the team, and I'm so grateful for her help!

Overall I have enjoyed my experience at the City Lights Apartments. I love the maintenance team. They are so kind and friendly. However, some of the people that have rented apartments in the surrounding area near me have been violent. And what I mean by that is fighting screaming shouting I've had to call 911. It's been traumatizing at times. I think City Lights needs to do a better job at who they rent their apartments to, and I think the grounds need to be kept cleaner. And what I mean by that are the halls need to be cleaned more often pressure washed. They are filthy.

Most of the staff have been good. The complex has changed dramatically. Multifamily living in one apartment multiple very large dogs, barking constantly, the car alarms are out of control. The motorcycles should not be allowed on all floors that have a designated parking area on the first floor by the maintenance area. I'm constantly woken up by them. The hallways are filthy.My biggest reason for moving is the prices are out of control.

Living at City Lights Drive in Aliso Viejo has been amazing! The location is perfect, the apartments are modern, and the community feels safe and welcoming. The new gym is fantastic, and there are plenty of pools to enjoy. Highly recommend!

Good experience so far, just a little more maintenance for common areas, like stairs. Garden well kept and outdoors need a little more attention with garbage and maintenance, in general Great staff very kind.

I enjoy where I live. The office staff are friendly and helpful. It is very expensive to live where I do. I'm hoping the rent will not continue to increase so much The maintenance staff are great and fix whatever issue I have right away.

The community is safe and nice. It is well maintained but at a cost. The cost being the noise. At least 5 days a week the leaf blowers are g oing from 7 a.m. -5p.m. The staff is courteous and professional.

I feel targeted at times. Some staff members are Rude to me. I feel like they target me because I'm on housing. I get calls of complaints that don't involve me for example they call me saying someone is complaining about music coming from my unit but I'm not even home.

I've been living here for 18 years. I'm now being asked to leave or move to a newly renovated space within 60 days during holiday. Who does that. I'm being asked to leave my Home. This not an apartment to me, this was my home. This breaks my heart.

Apartment itself is great. Parking structure is tedious to go through since I'm on the top floor. People do have loud cars and a lot of people have dogs that bark. The fire alarm rings often in the community.
