Huntington Beach Ocean Towers

WARNING to those looking to live here: I have lived here for 5 years and have dealt with to name a few:
–rats
–mice
–termites
–a flood (that thank God I had rental insurance to cover, because it wrecked everything in half my apartment)
–ceiling leaks
–constant construction
–the water being off at least once a month
–a convicted sex offender as my next door neighbor who complained about EVERY little noise, and yet they did nothing but pass on his complaints and did zip about him, despite the fact ALL his neighbors hated him and he was a felon.
The management (Tammy) is a really nice woman, she does her best. But the actual company (Beverly Hills Property Management) behind the complex are faceless and nowhere to be found. Everything is sent via letter to them, and they always basically just reject whatever you ask for. They have raised my rent 6% every year over the last 3 years despite the fact that the building has been under construction FOREVER, with tons of noise, debris, and dirt, and despite a year long rat problem that had be having to deal with seeing rodents (dead and alive) in my kitchen and eat my dog food and any candy sitting in a bowl on my counter. Rat pellets everywhere. It was disgusting. Did they give me a break on the rent increase? Nope.
This place is in a great location and when I leased, it was dirt cheap. But now it’s not worth the hassle of how they manage the place. I’d suggest you look elsewhere.

I’ve lived here for nearly 3.5 years now and have no real complaints. Aside from an unfortunate series of events in which their fountain’s plumbing was installed with negligence and they’re now in a lawsuit over rectifying, I am satisfied with the location.
Property management is on-​site yet nearly non existent, in a good way. Out of sight, yet easy to reach when needed and knows me by name and asks about my business whenever we cross paths.
They do not jack your rent after the first year and I have been month to month for almost 2 years beyond that now. There have been two 3% increases in rent both in the month of November signifying the beginning of year 2 and then 3. Even still, compared to what everything else is going for in the area, I am saving a couple hundred dollars every month.
Parking is very easy, there are always guest spots, hardly anyone uses the pool, and I hardly ever, if ever, hear my neighbors.
I would recommend it and have to others.

Looking from the outside in this place seems like a great one. The amenities is what got us to try this big complex which we’ve never done in the past. Tammy the head lady at the front office always seemed warm, caring, and prompt to all of our needs. As time went by this feeling of living «luxurious» definitely faded away. This place is a shit hole people let their dogs piss all over there’s puddles of urine everywhere. The elevators are down at least once a month. The water is turned off once or twice a month. The fountains have been under construction for about a year now because they’re in a lawsuit and they can’t fix the flooring because it floods when there’s any type of water on the upper ground. This includes rain. So The underground parking doesn’t really exist if there’s rain. The list goes on. We couldn’t take it anymore after we had put our 30 days then we realized Tammy at the front wasn’t really the Tammy we thought she was. Very short, condescending, contradicting and all of a sudden has no information. It’s a shame that people have to be fake these days I felt no warmth to any of my neighbors ever in the year and a half I’ve lived there except for one that is unheard of people here are cold short and believe me they won’t hold the elevator for you. Please dodge a bullet by not renting here unless you want to live in a cement garden that ups your rent and takes every thing they could get to keep your money when you move!

If I could give this place a negative 5 stars, I would. First off I’d like to express my absolute and utter disgust at the behavior of the management staff there. They have continuously harassed me over some pedophile’s blatant lies about me playing music too loud. First of all this man has 3 sex offender charges against him, a felony charge, and shouldn’t be trusted. The city of Fullerton wouldn’t accept this man as a tenant but Ocean Towers does. You know why they do? Because the apartment manager’s (Tammy Griffit) husband is also a convicted pedophile!!! They stick together apparently. Second of all, I didn’t even have a functioning stereo during most of these complaints. Tammy even said to me at one point when I had expressed my frustration over these lies my neighbor was telling and she said, «Oh don’t worry about him, he has some underlying issues.» Her words EXACTLY. Yet, the harassment continued from management (mostly from Raquel). Together, the management and my neighbor have successfully harassed me to the point of seeking legal action to break my lease early without penalty. THIS PLACE IS AWFUL!!! Especially Raquel! What a nasty evil woman. The entire time I explained to her my felon neighbor was lying about the music because I was always at work during his complaints, SHE DID NOT CARE NOR DID SHE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR A SOLUTION. All she did was take the pedophile’s side and support him. At one point, I gave her my work number and told her to call me there to confirm I wasn’t home during these noise complaints and she still continued to call me, claiming she can’t be certain that when she calls my work they’re not covering for me. Unbelievable! Not only are they complete snakes, but the water is shut off at least once a month and I have permanent hard water stains on my car window from a leak above my parking spot that dripped dirty, rusty pipe water every time it rained. Corporate better pull their head out of their arses and get a new management staff. Because these ones are a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I have lived here for 2 years and have not had any problems. The neighbors are friendly and nice. Tammy the manager here is just really nice and helpful. She remembers every ones name here and even there kids names. I have had a few problems like my water heater was not working I called her that morning and by the afternoon I had a new one installed. Same thing with my stove. She is really on it when it comes to fixing any problems you may have. They take really good care of all the landscaping here and the pool and jacuzzi are always clean. This place is really safe especially because they have on site security at night. I would recommend these apartments to anyone looking for a really nice place to live.
