The Pointe Apartments

The complex is really nice, clean and quiet

I’ve lived here since summer 2014. I love the per unit w/​d. It has definitely spoiled me. I’ve lived in a house all my life except for time before this one where community w/​d exist.
Maintenance team is definitely a factor to consider if moving in or current residents. They are awesome! Maintenance gets addressed within 24 hours of placing service online.
The office has Saturday open hours.
Yard well maintained.
Choose outer units. Courtyard units has no signal, n absorbs community noise when there are gatherings near bbq area or pool area.
Cons:
1) Parking needs power washing, esp in p2 section.
2) lack of parking. Whether you are in one or two bdrm units, all only have one assigned parking.
3) one office staff, kheo, has a know it all attitude, but tolerable. I just avoid him when possible. I’ve witness how he talks to maintenance team. He tends to b condescending.
I highly recommended THE Pointe apt homes.

My husband and I have lived here for almost 3 years and our experience at the Pointe has been excellent. The apartment itself is very new, with nice laminate floors, spacious living space, in-​unit W/​D, and a practical floor plan. The walls are sound proof for the most part. If your unit faces the courtyard, there will be courtyard noise from kids playing or people having occasional gatherings, but we don’t mind the noise too much.
The entire complex is kept clean and aesthetically pleasing. The owner continues to improve the complex. From our time here, we’ve noticed them changing the speed bumps in the parking structure to be more pleasant to drive over, to adding nice umbrellas over the tables/​chairs in the courtyard, to changing out the couch cushions in the courtyard to new ones. They have grills that are cleaned out every day.
Also, when we have maintenance needs, the maintenance guy, Rosalio, is quick to come and fix whatever problems we have had.
There are also monthly apartment socials in which we get free food and goodies.
The Leasing Office Staff is also very friendly and seem to know their residents by name and apartment number, haha. They are very pleasant people. They are also willing to offer us a better rental rate if we ask.
The only downside I can think of is that the complex does not offer recycling services. I have to drive to Alamo recycling or somewhere else to take care of that.

I lived at The Pointe for 3 years and have no major complaints. The only reason I even moved was because I needed to be closer to my office in Glendale, otherwise I would still be a tenant there!
The apartments are extremely spacious and reasonably priced for an area like Brea. Honestly I have nothing bad to say about The Pointe! If you are looking for affordably priced, nice, clean, well maintained apartments, this is definitely the best place in Brea to reside!

RUDE staff !!! FORGET ABOUT YOUR WHOLE DEPOSIT because regardless of how clean your apartment is, they will find something to charge you. The apartment is too pricey anyways. NO GUEST parking what so ever. Parking in general is such a hassle and if you have more than one car you are screwed !!. the pool is smaller than your grandma’s fountain, so just make a visit to see paying that much rent is worth it !! Bottom line, Me and my husband are so GLAD we moved out !

The Pointe is a pretty nice place to live if you can afford it. They offer spacious 1 and 2 bedroom apts with laminate flooring, granite countertops and all major appliances, including a washer/​dryer combo. A 1 bedroom is already 950 sq ft with high ceilings so this place feels a lot bigger than most apts you’ll find in Brea.
Location: Any apt near the courtyards and pool will tend to have more noise because there are kids that do play outside on afternoons. Another thing is if you do have an apt facing a courtyard you’ll have to buy an amplifier for cell reception, it’s not too expensive but I sort of think management should cover that since they know these particular apts have no reception whatsoever.
Security: You’ll see security patrolling the area and the surrounding business park. If you have issues you can reach them anytime on their cell phones. They do a pretty good job of keeping the noise down after 10pm. Each resident is given a key FOB to access doors, gates, etc.
Parking: There is one assigned parking spot per apt. There are a few guests spots scattered throughout the resident’s parking lot. There is also a shared parking garage under the resident’s parking to be used Mon-​Fri from 5pm-​8am (non business hours) free all weekend and holidays. If you do have guests over on a week day during business hours and there are no guests spots left, there is an additional parking garage across the street that may be used by residents ²⁴⁄₇. Either way, there is ample parking. They provide better solutions to parking then most places. You just have to walk a bit, but I guess some might see it as no guest parking if they’re too lazy to walk.
Staff/​maintenance: Staff is friendly. They host some kind mixer every month. You might have a shaved ice from Oahu Shaved Ice, catered food from El Torito Grill, BBQs, breakfast in bags handed out at the gate as you drive to work in the morning, taco tuesdays, etc. Work orders are processed in a timely manner and things get fixed pretty quickly.
I’m sure rent will go up as it does every yr at any apt but I’m pretty happy here for now. Oh, this is also a smoke free complex which is such a welcome change from other places.
Oh, the one thing that sucks is the traffic on Lambert. Since the apt is located in a business park, between 4−6pm it’s hard to exit because everyone is trying to get onto the freeway.

The management are conservative and uptight. Very over Priced. one bedroom with utilities will run close to 2k a month or close enough. There are many great places you can live. keep your options open. You don’t want to sign a lease for

I would give this property a 4 if my apartment did NOT face the courtyard. I work from home and it is quiet until 11am on weekends and 4pm weekdays, than it turns into a daycare center until 7/​8pm. I do not mean daycare in the literal sense, it is really the kids coming out to play unsupervised, using the walls to play handball and tennis, and the elevators to play hide & seek, running up and down the hallways, yelling at the top of their lungs in the courtyard, etc. I’ve been here for almost 4 months, so I believe it is safe to say this is a permanent situation. And it may escalate during the summer months.
The positives:
1. The property is kept very clean, the community grills out in the courtyards are cleaned daily, and you see staff cleaning everyday. However if you want to use the grills — BEWARE! The kids are not shy about running around you and playing near the hot grills (where are their parents?) and if you sit at one of the tables with food you run the chance that one of their balls will fall into your spread. I’ve only used the grills once, and from that experience it will probably be my last.
2. The property is conveniently located to freeways, shopping, dining, etc. And it is just down the hill from Brea High School and they have a great track for running.
3. The property is safe and residents are required to use their key fob or garage remote to enter.
My main advice if you move here is to avoid any courtyard facing properties, especially if you like to open your windows.
Once our 12 month lease is up we will definitely move. Hopefully we will have better luck at another property.

I have lived at The Pointe for 1 year. The ONLY reason I’m leaving is because I am moving down to Costa Mesa for work and the commute is a bit too long. Honestly I have no complaints about this place! They offer 1 bedrooms and 2 bedrooms. Our 1 bedroom is HUGE! Two closets, two sinks, and lots of living space! We live on the third floor next to and across from people. People are a bit introverted here. But they do participate in the mixers! (I’ll mention those later)
–Cost
Apartments may seem pricey, but definitely worth it. Couldn’t find anything less expensive around here that isn’t a shit-​hole. You get what you pay for! Worth the investment.
–Staff
Friendly staff that live in the complex and always do their best to accommodate you! No complaints whatsoever. They also host a mixer or two every month! KFC dinner, snow cones, pizza party, and more!
–Security
24 hour security, parking garage is gated, doors require FOB for entry, etc. Never have had a problem with any type of vandalism.
–Parking situation
You get one spot per apartment. There are 2 overflow/​overnight lots as well as guest spots. Some numbered spots are also for guests.
–Apartments
They are new, clean, and disguise noise extremely well! I’ve only ever heard a few noises from the people above and even then its extremely quiet. They are also all within walking distance of Outback Steakhouse, Souplantation, El Torito Grill, and another nice restaurant!
–Residents
Apartments are a bit pricey, so residents are mainly adults with children, or just single people. I have heard one party’s music, and even then it was off by midnight. Our apartment is above the pool, and it gets pretty rowdy on summer days. But again, its not a big problem. Other than that, no noise complaints!
Basically, this place is AMAZING. I have loved every minute of my time here and wish I could stay longer! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a clean, safe, upscale apartment complex.
