Main Street Village Apartments

I’ve been calling this place in Irvine home for around six months now, and it’s been a great experience. The location’s top-notch, with easy access to 405. Our unit with dual balconies is a real treat!

The best thing for me, however is Parking! Very spacious spots and if you’ve got an EV or hybrid, they give you a green sticker so you can park in the easy-access corners. There are also plenty of extra spots. We have been easily parking two cars (at no cost) despite having only one assigned one... .

The staff and maintenance team have also been respectful and very responsive. Overall, I highly recommend this property. Read More

I loved living here at first but each year the rent is increased significantly. You would think after living here for a few years they would value their loyal tenants. It’s also hard to get in a decent conversation with most staff members. They are rude and have an attitude when you are simply asking for assistance with them. I try to give the benefit of the doubt and think maybe they are over worked but even after continuously being kind it’s still met with snarky comments and rude looks.... Management needs to seriously take a look at the office staff and reconsider because most seem to hate their job. I have also seen a few mice running around the first floor outside. Read More

Lived here for nearly 3 years. Recently switched from carpet to a "hardwood" (laminate/plastic) flooring, but the sound travel is unbearable. You can hear TVs pounding and vibrating constantly throughout your own apartment, sort of a living nightmare. I live with headphones in constantly, struggle to sleep, and get anxiety from feeling the vibrations from noise.

I’ve really enjoyed living here for the past two years until the rent renewal notice was stuck on my door 10 days ago with a 25% increase for a 13 month renewal, all the way up to a 300% increase for month to month. The staff has confirmed that this is due to them wanting to renovate every single unit in lieu of allowing loyal tenants to renew at a reasonable rate. A slight annual increase is to be expected, but a 25% increase when no one’s wages have increased and they are expected to make 2... .5-3x the rent is just insane. This has happened to long-term and very loyal residents here too - highly immoral and just so sad to see people being forced out of their homes. Read More

The complex and amenities are nice. The gym is very solid, I can get a great workout in with the equipment they have. The people are nice and I haven't ran into any issues. The primary issue however is the renewal rate after each year. My renewal shows a 35% increase year over year. Do not anticipate living here for longer than one year without factoring in the high hike beginning in Year 2. For this reason I give it 2 stars. Without the extreme hikes, I would give this 4-5 stars.
