The Huntington

The Huntington is like living in a condo resort! Everything is top quality, from the grounds, to the rec room, to the pool area, to the on site management staff! The two bedroom two full bath apartment is completely redone with new flooring, carpets, quartz countertops through out, shaker cabinetry, stainless appliances including a refrigerator. Melinda in the office is wonderful and so helpful. I don’t think you can find a better cost to value apartment of this quality in Huntington Beach. Yes they do allow pets, but you would hardly know it as all the owners appear responsible and are good neighbors! Just visit the clubhouse and talk to Melinda, you will not be disappointed.

When I moved here from Colorado for a job transfer, this team were so welcoming and inviting, especially considering I only had two days to find an apartment. HB was the last place I wanted to consider, but interestingly enough it was the last place I visited and I fell in LOVE with the apartments here.
My first year here was in a beautiful studio and after I renewed my lease I have upgraded to a 1 bedroom and the amount of space… WOW! Not to mention that is hard to find apartments that accept large dogs, this place is very pet friendly with lots of poop bag stations. The only thing I don’t really care for are the small yappy dogs. But dogs are dogs right?
The most noteworthy thing about this place, is the team; how friendly, accepting, and willing to help others. The grounds are always clean and the employees here always have a smile on their face. I have not had one problem with this place and I hope others who are moving here from another state will consider this place as a great starting place in HB!

A simple act of going above & beyond what is expected goes a long way to make a resident at The Huntington feel a part of community. I was expecting an Amazon delivery on Monday. To my surprise, the package was delivered Sunday… and the leasing staff sent me an email notification!
Thank you all so very much!

We lived here for 14 years and it was a very good experience. Carlos and his maintenance crew are awesome. Parking is not great but we were lucky enough to get a second carport to rent after my car was broken into while parked along Edinger. After getting the 2^nd carport we had no other issues with our cars but I hear there continues to be car break-​ins if you park along Edinger or Newland. Essex management took over a few years ago and they are ok. Rent continued to increase — we ended up finding nicer complexes for the same price with larger units and more amenities… so we moved. They were very fair with our deposit — only charged us for standard janitorial and our last utilities. I want to thank Carlos for all you did for us throughout the 14 years we lived there. You are great and we wish you and your family only the best.

I live at the Huntington apartments for about 2 years and I wanted to make sure to write the maintenance team a review. Carlos, Jose and Hilario are amazing! They not only respond to maintenance request quickly but they are super friendly and do exactly what you request. I called once and asked for a normal wear and tear issue to be fixed and while Carlos was over fixing the issue I said hmm the last 1 bedroom I had here at the Huntington (I moved to a 2 bedroom.) had white appliances and I like them better… 2 weeks later I had new white appliances, my boyfriend and Carlos had surprised me! THAT IS ABOVE AND BEYOND SERVICE AND FRIENDLINESS! I have lived at many higher end luxury apartments and the maintenance service did not compare to the Huntington apartments! Carlos, Jose and Hilario are worth the praise!

Pros:
Friendly, helpful management
Responsive maintenance — quick repairs
Nice landscaping, pool area, and clubhouse
Large bedrooms with plenty of storage
Large patio– if you live on the first floor
Cons:
Barking dogs — depending on where you live, this can be a major disturbance
Noisy floorboards — We live on the first floor and we can hear every step the people above us make which is very annoying and frustrating
Limited parking — street parking is available, but I’ve seen countless cars with broken windows
Rent — steep increase every time you renew

Another warning!
Within about 2 – 3 months, my boyfriend’s car has been vandalized 3 times (door handles broken off, utility bed handles broken off multiple times) and things have been stolen right out of our backyard including a very expensive beach crusier bicycle. Super unsafe location, thank goodness I’m almost out of this place because it’s been pricey just to keep up with the damage done to our belongings.

They need to stop raising the rent. It’s ridiculous once you find out that they cater to the section 8 People wonder why they keep raising the rent I thought this was a high and complex it’s really not it’s just a fancy motel for trash diggers. The people that Live here are basically mean rude
Good luck

I would not recommend this apartment complex. The place looks really nice on the outside but once you move in you will find out how bad the place is. The apartments are very outdated. They rather update the leasing office and pool area instead of working on the apartments. Our apartment would always get very hot because of the pipes. The kitchen, closet, and bathroom floors felt hot because of the water pipes. During summer going to your bedroom and using the bathroom was very uncomfortable because of how hot it was. The apartment only has a wall unit in the living room area which was ok but when you step into your bedroom you can just feel the heat hit your face. The leasing people have a trick. They leave the AC running all day and night so when they give tours during the a nice warm summer day you walk into a cool apartment. The fees are ridiculous. They have you pay for garbage, water, hot water, and sewage. So that’s an extra $ 90 on top of your rent. There’s always car break ins. When you try to leave they charge you about $ 500 and they take it from your deposit. And the best, you get section 8 neighbors. I don’t know how many times the cops and ambulance came to get our old neighbor. So glad we left! Good luck to you if you decide to move in!

I recently just moved into these apartments and I very much enjoy these apartments so far. The apartments are very clean and the area is nice and quiet. Melinda, who works in the office, was really delightful and welcoming. I absolutely recommend it!

Had a great time working with Melinda on obtaining a rental for me and my family. The process was very easy and the transition into the place was smooth.

Honestly, be aware, this is not long term place to live, they will raise your rent in the second year like crazy, also they rip off you deposit
Update:
Firstly, when we lived in your apartment, the construction continuously going on. I am wondering where is the money come from to support such a large construction project? Constantly increase the rent?
We plan to stay in the apartment for the second year, but the rent increased $ 250 per month, it is about 15%increase, which is much higher than the 4.5%California average rental increase. Numbers tells everything!!!
Honestly, I don’t think it is a not good place for someone looking for a long term to stay!
Look, I have no problem to pay for the carpet damage.
But it is definitely unfair that you guys charge us brand new carpet price, actually it is used and old carpet! That’s definitely take advantage of us!
I don’t think there’s any miscommunication, since We went to the leasing office, explains to you guys very clearly, but you guys still insist to charge us as brand new carpet, from that moment, your credit with us is zero! Honestly, We want to stay with a company who is kind and helpful, but not hungry for money!
I am glad you mentioned the walk throughs, we did schedule with you guys about the walk through before we move out, but nobody from your office ever show up on that day! All we have is additional $ 700 charge, besides losing our entire deposit!
Very disappointed!!!

Melinda is awesome. Very understanding helpful and caring. She goes the extra mile. I’m very happy to b n this community. I feel like it one big family. Thanks u for all u have done. I Love living here.

We haven’t moved i yet so I can say anything about how it is to live there. Just hoping it will be as good as it seems.
I do want to say that the both Melinda and Misty who work in the office were both amazing. Their enthusiasm, their efficiency, their professionalism were exemplary.
This was a great way to begin a new chapter in our lives.
Thank you Melinda and Misty!

I would give a 5 star but the rent is outrageous at 1506.00 for a studio with no dishwasher and utilities not included. I will say Melinda is a awesome person who went above and beyond to get me in this apartment. They also except dogs, that’s a plus because I have a small dog. On the other hand some people have up to 5 dogs in an apartment witch is crazy. They let them bark. I went and bought a bark collar for my dog so when I left he wasn’t non stop barking. I really hated doing that to him, but he needed to learn you can’t bark at nothing while I’m gone. I love the pool, never used the hot tub yet and the landscape is beautiful.

This apartment complex is great!
Rent is pretty fair I’d say, it’s definitely more expensive than some other places but cheaper than many others as well. But you pay for quality and you get pretty good value here.
Parking is awesome here, no street sweeping ever on edinger and there’s tons of visitor parking (not that they’re always available but if you do happen to get lucky you have a spot). Certain units have different amounts of parking spots but our unit has 2 so it works out well.
Location is awesome as it’s right next to the freeway, if the noise doesn’t bother you it’s perfect because you can literally drive down the street to a freeway entrance. It’s close to Bella terra as well! And then it’s in between Huntington Beach and fountain valley! Fountain valley has all the late night eats and Vietnamese food and Huntington Beach has all the other stuff!
Management is pretty good here too, they try and remember your names.
Awesome place!

I have lived at the Huntington Apartments for a few years and have to say I totally love living here! The management office is super friendly and helpful. Katherine, Tonya and Misty (the management team) have made this place feel like home. This complex is especially supportive toward our pets, they spoil them with lots of treats and goodies!!!
As a long time tenant, I would recommend this complex to anyone who is looking for a safe and comfortable home =)

I have lived here for a year. I like the area and where it is located. I am moving out of my studio because the rent is increasing by 10.5%, $ 125 a month! As a veteran and a single father, I have never had rent go up in my life that much, ever. I was stunned. I won’t give lower stars because that is the property managements right. I don’t agree with it. The studio is nice at 535 sq. ft., but its not that charming at $ 1250 +Utilities a month, they don’t pay anything. Here is my list.
Pros:
–Clean kept grounds.
–Gated community.
–Good size layouts-​modern amenities, wood floors (lam-​anent), granite counters, nice cabinets, small yards or balconies.
–Friendly and helpful Managers-​Misty, Tanya.
–Good facilities, pool, jacuzzi, tennis courts, gym, good laundry facilities, animal friendly, and rec room.
–Roving security at night, but haven’t seen to many times.
–Some covered parking, open, and some garages available.
Cons:
–Continues construction, paving, fixing, landscaping. They give you good notice about these things, but its around the clock over the year I have lived there.
–Parking sucks. One space and no guest parking. They have some garages @$ 100 extra.
–Car Break-​ins. I never keep things inside, visible through the windows so I haven’t had any issues, but many people have I’ve spoken with.
–Won’t work with you on rent raise. I’ve paid on time, no problems on my end, good tenant, but nothing. I expected an increase but 10.5%?! Too bad.
I am moving two miles away to almost the exact same studio layout complex and the rent is $ 1100 with water, trash, and gas included.
I would have stayed if they would have worked with the rent increase, but I guess they can fill it and don’t care about good tenants. They say its the market, but I have never seen an increase in the rents I’ve had even in booms in the economy, let alone this one.
I would recommend the place as it is close to the fwy and shopping centers, kept clean and the management is nice and gets things done quickly.

First off, I want to mention the team here at The Huntington is extraordinary. Every one here are extremely friendly and the managers know you by first-​name basis. It makes you feel like they are family.
My boyfriend and I have been living here for a little over a year now, and we must say, we love it! The studio is very charming, with enough room to add couches, tv stand, and anything else you can think of. We just signed another lease recently but wanted to upgrade to a one bedroom. Though that seems unlikely, the rent here is outrageous. Understandably that the price is adjusted through the computers and the market, The Huntington advertises as «affordable living» on their website, but in reality, $ 1500 for a one bedroom and nearly $ 1300 for a studio isn’t what you may call affordable…
Another negative I would say about this place is the parking situation. I just don’t understand why we have to park so far from our apartment complex. The parking is just super random. I see someone living at the H buildings park all the way the way in the back. I also hate that certain people don’t ever pick up their dog poop when bags are provided. There are also a million spiders, moths, cockroaches that infests this area, that I rarely see pest control come and handle the situation.
Also, if you live upstairs, any kind of move you make the neighbors downstairs will complain. Even if you try your hardest not to make any noise. I find it almost impossible not to, and occasionally will hear a bang from downstairs telling me to keep it down. I hate that I can’t walk around my house comfortably without disturbing others. Also, I find it annoying how when the gates to the apartments open both sides when you click the remote often allowing people who don’t live here trespass.
The neighborhood is well kept, and you can tell they put their best efforts into maintaining the area clean. I love the ammenity they have here: pool, jacuzzi, a computer room, and even a gym.
Hopefully some of these things get resolved and hopefully my rent won’t increase again, so I can continue living here for another year.

I have lived at the Huntington for over a year now. The first year was in a one bedroom apartment and then we down graded to a studio due to the rent increase. With that being said, I have lived on two completely different sides of the complex, both of which are surrounded with great people. Yes, there are those strange ones, but for the most part every one is super friendly.
There are a lot of dogs at this community. It is super pet friendly and there are poop stations all over so that people have no problem picking up their dog’s business. Over all, it is a great place to live. The office staff is wonderful. They know everyone by name and make you feel like you aren’t just another renter in a massive complex.
The one down size from renting from a big company (Essex) is the rent increases are all over the map. It is all up to the computer system and supply and demand as to how much your unit will cost when it is time to renew. There is no negotiation. The woman in the leasing office understand the struggle and you can tell that they are sympathetic when the increase is really large, but unfortunately, they have no control over it. They are just doing their jobs the way they are instructed.
All and all, this place is great. Some people complain about the construction, but the construction is there to help improve the community. At least the rent money is going to improvements we can see!
Also, they bring in food trucks! And, this place is close to everything. It’s in a great
