Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley Archstone apartments are the worst I have ever lived in. I say both, because they both have the same manager, but my experiences are strictly with the Huntington Beach location. The current management does not address issues until they become out of hand and there's a crisis. This past winter 2007/2008 they have had rodents! Ratz! They ignore one complaint, and they only addressed it when multiple infestations occured. Noisy neighbors - good luck trying to get out of that one... The "gym" (2 machines) is deplorable, the treadmill has never worked. There is no 24 hr maintenance, so if you get a water leak you're on your own. The maintenance guy called us back the next day, 12 hrs later, and only after we went in person to the office and complained. You leave a voicemail? It goes into the black hole at the center of Milky Way! :) The worst worst worst I have ever lived in. As soon as my lease is up, I'm out of here. I'm throwing out $1900 every month, and getting nothing for it. Archstone sux!
Pros: dog friendly, close to freeway
Cons: unresponsive management, noisy neighbors, dirty water stream
