Remington at Ladera Ranch

If you are looking for a senior apt in Ladera Ranch I highly suggest you go see Coralee Giese… she is so kind, compassionate, professional and thorough. Truly a beautiful person who cares not only about the quality of the apt environment but the actual tenants well being… I always felt my mother was in great hands the 11 years she lived there with Cory watching over her!

Two suggestions: get it in writing, as management backpedaled on things we were told as far as the cost of short-​term extensions and the availability of same, which fortunately weren’t needed; also take lots of pictures on move in and especially move out. You can expect a deduction for carpet cleaning, and keep in mind that old stains reappear with normal use, even after a good cleaning of older carpet.
Those words of warning being said, we loved the apartment and the people living there. Great location and quite a few activities.

I have owned many homes and find this apartment complex a hidden secret ! Well kept for the past 5 years living here with deer coming right down the hills to our cars. The managment… especially long time asst manager Corey are great to work with on any situation .good and bad always there. Complex gets 5 stars for 5 years !!!

I came to the Remington in July 2008 from a palatial condo in Washington, DC. I cannot say enough nice things about the staff and the property. I have lung disease and am severely disabled and everyone from the Assistant Manager, Cory Giese and the Maintenence Men –Jose and Arturo have for years gone out of their way to be helpful.
I completely made it my own when I came, hiring an interior decorator and though small, it has exceeded my expectations for many years. I really feel like I am part of a community here. I do not use the community center, but I do use the workout room and pool areas and they are managed well.
I also like having the business center included in the rentals for I never worry about being without a computer should mine go in for maintenance. The property is conveniently located to grocery stores, hospitals, and even my Church is less than a mile away. I would recommend the Remington without hesitation to anyone who is looking to enjoy their seasoned years, with worry free living.

We have lived at the Remington for 9 years and truly enjoy our surroundings. Easy access to freeways and toll road, shopping and entertainment The community life is active with daily trips to local attractions with the new RanchRide buses. Management and maintenance are there to assist you with your requests which are completed in a timely manner. Property is clean and well maintained. Weekly movies, monthly breakfasts and holiday dinners are a big part of life at the Remington as well as Friday Night Residents BBQ. I would recommend this property to anyone.

We’ve been residents at The Remington for 1 year now and love the place. The staff is friendly (Cory, Joanne, Katrina, Jose and Arturo are awesome and responsive). I use the fitness center all the time and it works great for me. The community is quiet and the flowers are in bloom this time of year so the property looks beautiful. A real nice place to live. There are many floor plans to choose from that can fit almost anyone’s needs.
The residents are friendly and many have been here for several years which speaks well for the community. Pricing is reasonable and in line with the market. Other 55+ complexes do not offer apartments that are as large as what the Remington has to offer, this community is a great value for the money.
If you are looking for activities this place has them, not over the top but just the right amount, you can choose to be involved as much as you want to be.
If you are looking for a complex that caters to 55+ and is convenient to everything (restaurants, shopping, freeways etc) this should be the first place you should check out!

If u r looking for a friendly place with honest management run by a honest management company Sares Regis, do not rent here. Sares has horrible reviews, and the management at Remington r dishonest. You r warned.

Before considering Remington Ladera, please read the following:
PROS:
Location — nice community of Ladera Ranch
Fire Station steps from the property (beware of bright lights & sirens during the night)
Controlled entry access to the building is good.
CONS (which are numerous):
55+ is not what it seems — do your research — Remington uses the auspices of 55+ to attract a quiet and low energy tenant base in order to keep the noise down. IT IS NOT A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY AS ADVERTISED.
Life-​enriching activities (as advertised) are rare to non-​existent
Deafening street noise (Antonio Parkway is a busy street, day & night)
Private Patios/​balconies (as advertised) unusable to due street noise
Fitness Center (as advertised) is filled with unusable, faulty equipment — danger!
Office staff inept and unfriendly (unless a prospective/​new tenant)
Clubhouse multi-​purpose room (as advertised) is not readily available to residents. It’s like «pulling teeth» to obtain approval for use. Refrigerator is off-​limits to residents.
Office closes randomly during the day (office hours advertised as 8:00 — 5:00)
Spelling & grammatical errors throughout correspondence & lease agreements
Displaying of the American Flag is prohibited. So sad!
Also sad is the disregard for residents with disabilities. Staff treats these residents (senior citizens) with very little respect or sympathy.
Water leaks abound! Mold is prevalent in the lower apartments. Fans are brought in when leaks occur, however, the poor residents are required to remain in the apartment while the loud, industrial strength fans run through the night. No offers of alternate accommodations offered.
Rent is extremely high given the shortcomings of this property
As stated before — BUYER BEWARE!
