Seaside at Laguna Heights Apartments

"I recently moved into Seaside and I’m writing this review because the experience has been great and the staff have been very helpful. When I first came to view the property I met Maritza, one of the staff members at Seaside. She was very patient to explain all the details of the lease and never pushy about getting me to sign the lease. I appreciated that very much after some bad experiences at other properties I had seen. Maritza was very helpful in getting all the paperwork completed effortlessly. Upon move in I was also pleasantly surprised by the condition of my unit. They had installed new carpets and the place was spotless. I had intended to hire a cleaning service when I moved in but the place was in perfect condition so there was no need. A big thank you to Maritza and the entire team at Seaside for making my move in so easy."

"This place is absolutely stunning. Everything is new and updated. The staff is so great, especially Chris! Chris gave us our tour around the complex and made it a fun and light experience. He knew all the residence that were walking around by name and they seemed very fond of him. Great community with a very welcoming feel. He was very interested in what we wanted and definitely delivered. Thank you Chris and the staff at Seaside."

"Dear Seaside Leasing Office, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to express my gratitude for your team's exceptional service in 2023. Thank you for promptly addressing the maintenance needs in my apartment, especially fixing the door. Your team's quick response highlighted your commitment to residents' comfort and safety. The replacement of all the glass windows with newer ones has also greatly improved the warmth indoors and aligns with energy-saving measures, which I truly value. Wishing you and the entire leasing office continued success and prosperity in the new year. Warm regards, Happy New Year."

"Honestly, there are too many things about the seaside apartment that I don't know where to begin. We've been living there for around one year and a half. The Seaside apt is a nightmare literally! You'll see dog poops almost everywhere outside or inside the community. The gates are broken most of the time and they're just something to show you that you'd live in a safe place and it's a lie. I saw people who jumped on the wall during the night or day to get to the community. There are two community pools, one of them was broken forever and they never fixed it. The other one was just full of people who were swimming in their clothes and not even wearing bathing suits! Sometimes, they showered inside the jacuzzi as it was full of bubble baths! You won't feel safe at the gym, as you'll see teenage boys come there and drink alcohol and smoke weed at the front of the gym! Yes, they'd tell you that you'll live in a smoke-free community and that's a total lie. You cannot keep your window open because of the weed's smell. Our mailbox was broken for a while and we lost a lot of our mail. Some of our mail was stolen and the management didn’t give a damn about it. There are gang members and drug dealers who are living there and as the seaside likes to rob people and just make money, they'll accept anyone in their community as a resident. There were dumpster divers at night and during the day. There are lots of broken cars and homeless people in their RVs outside of the community and you cannot feel safe about it as they can come inside the community easily to steal your package or take a shower at the pool. Since we moved there, I have seen many tenants who left Seaside within a year. Don't get fooled by seeing photos online and for a better understanding of how dangerous and unsafe could be living inside the community, you should go and check everything at night or different hours during the day. Especially, if you have kids don't ever think about living at Seaside. We decided to renew our lease to see if everything gets better hopefully in the future, but, that was a big mistake we made in our entire life and a lesson learned! Because of all the reasons I mentioned and our safety, we've had to break our lease and we paid $5100 for that! The management team lies about everything from the beginning to the end. Before doing the lease break, we asked them about what's gonna be the next steps for breaking the lease, Maritza and Hannah gave us two options either pay the breaking lease fee ($5100) or do the rent responsibility. But, the story did not end there! After one month, they sent us a final statement, and on top of the $5100, they also charged us for an extra $1500 + stealing our deposit. They don't make enough money and this company would try everything they can to rob you. In the end, we paid a big price and learned a good lesson by living in the junkiest community and ridiculous management like Seaside."
