Mcfadden Village Apts

Andrea the manager is really good at following up with you if you have any concerns or maintenance requests. Safe neighborhood and the community is clean, average market price in Orange County. Might not extend my lease when it ends but I’d recommend the apartments if your on your own or have a significant other.

Moved here about one month ago, and it’s great! It’s clean, calm and beautiful! Pet friendly which was perfect for us! Laundry room is perfect never full washer and dryer are always available. Andreea is great very helpful and friendly feel very comfortable coming to her for any problems. Five star!

Great building in an excellent location. The manager, Andreea, is really nice and very attentive to the building and residents. Everyone here has been so friendly; you are always welcomed by a smile and a «Hello». Also, pets are welcome. I have recommended this building to others and will continue to do so.

I moved here last year and I have had a good experience since then. This place has affordable rent and no pet rent! You just have to pay a deposit which is such a good bargain because most places charge a lot per pet for the monthly rent. This apartment complex is a diamond in the rough. Anytime there is an issue with maintenance, the office manager Irina is very quick to respond. You can text or call her and she is always approachable. There are washers and dryers onsite, a gym, pool, garage space and you can pay $ 10.00 more for an outside parking spot. It’s only 5 minutes away from Trader Joes, Sprouts, Tustin Brewing Company, Albertsons, Daiso, and so much more. There’s Peter Gourmade burgers, a Vietnamese restaurant, a ramen place, tacos, dry cleaning, pet groomer, dentist and a bar within walking distance (plus more)!
When we moved in, everything was new. Our dishwasher, wooden floors, and stove were new which made everything look extra nice. The complex really cares about its residents. They have resident appreciation month where residents can get free car washes, quarters for laundry, free housekeeping, breaking in a box, carpet cleaning, etc. I cannot think of any other apartment complex that does this sort of thing! Rent here and you will not be disappointed! one bedroom and studio rooms available!

Three years ago my (now) husband and I moved in here as our «starter» apartment. We moved here because it was cheap, and in a central location to our jobs. It is really a hidden gem in the heart of Tustin. The property is well maintained, and neighbors are extremely nice. The surrounding neighborhood right outside of the complex is definitely questionable, but I feel safe inside the complex — it’s sort of hidden, and tucked into a side street — very cozy. Close to 5 and 55, and many places nearby — including Old Town Tustin. Pet friendly, but a lot of dogs barking at night so that might bother some people… also, there is no central A/​C, and the airplanes fly right over the complex which you get used to after sometime, but certain days it is worse than others. Also, they take care of their tenants really well and go above and beyond to show appreciation with little activities like «Breakfast in a Box», where they pass out boxed breakfasts to tenants — and during Christmas they have a decorating contest. There are some cons, but the pros outweigh them. If you’re looking for affordable rent in central OC, with awesome neighbors, and super friendly property management then this is the place. Don’t expect the lap of luxury (the apartments are older), but it is a great little community in a convenient location. Sadly, we are moving this month, because we have outgrown this place, but I really am sad to go — we really enjoyed living here and would recommend this community to anyone looking for a good deal in a prime OC location — the people and sense of community make all of the difference here.

My boyfriend and I have been living here for about a year now. So far it’s been a great experience. Irina is very helpful and she definitely cares about her tenants. We haven’t had any issues with maintenance or stuff breaking down on us so we’ve been pretty lucky about that. This complex is very dog friendly to pooches of all sizes. We have a parking spot and a garage and we didn’t have to pay an arm and a leg for it. The kitchen is a tad bit small and doesn’t come with a fridge or microwave. However, the bedroom is a great size though with two closets. We are enjoying this complex very much!

I have lived here at McFadden Village Apts for 7 or 8 years and I love it. I, too, rented my apt without being able to see it ahead of time because this place is always full, with a long waiting list to get in. I saw the outside of the property and liked the crispness and cleanliness of it. After seeing the photos of the interior in the manager’s office I put my name on the waiting list — I had hoped to move immediately but this apartment was definitely worth the wait. I’ve never seen a bug, my car hasn’t been vandalized, I’m comfortable walking through the parking area and complex late at night, the laundry rooms are clean, cute, nearby and open all the time (as long as you know the code to enter), the pool area is always clean, the gym is great, the neighbors say hi and it’s very cozy and pretty, too. I’ve got two small dogs and so do most of my neighbors — but no dog poop issues and no flea issues (I’ve literally never seen a bug here other than a spider on my patio). I have a one car garage with room for my car and shelves of stored items and I also have a parking space. If I need more parking spaces than that for guests there’s always the street (which does get filled up quickly in the evening but I park on the street and when a guest comes over they call me and I go pull out of the spot while they pull in and then I park back in my own spot or garage). I appreciate the management: Irina and Emil are super. I’ve managed to break a few things here and there over all these years and it’s always fixed (repaired or replaced) right away — thank goodness. Trader Joe’s, Kohl’s, 4 major grocery stores, the library, 3 major drug stores, the 5 and 55 freeways are all right by the apartments, as well as a lot of really funky restaurants in old town Tustin and some cool shops. I would recommend this property!

Moved in October– It wasn’t what I expected but thats what I get for signing a lease without viewing the unit before!
I have to admit it started off with some issues but things were back in order within a week. Living in a smaller complex is nice because it’s like a big extended family. Everyone is friendly and you get to know your neighbors pretty quick.
PROS:
Super close to 55 & 5 Freeways.
Super close to Tustin Market Place.
TONS of delicious food nearby within walking distance.
Large Patio with pretty high fence about 5’5 feet or so.
Laundry room is open 24-​hours 7 days a week.
Pool & Hot Tube open late 7 days a week as long as you keep it down. Mostly adults in this complex so everyone keeps it legit and it’s clean.
Management is great.
Maintenance is quick with repairs and the guys is super cool.
Within the property it feels safe, comfortable and welcoming.
Lawn is clean and mostly free of dog poop which is awesome because there are lots of dogs in the complex. Again mostly adults and with that comes respect and responsibility for your home.
CONS:
Neighborhood isn’t the best.
Parking Really Really Sucks.
Garage is really narrow if you have a larger vehicle be careful!
Kitchen is pretty small & the unit does not come with a refrigerator or microwave.
Water issues — my shower water never gets hot… just warm. This could just be my unit but figured its worth mentioning.
You will have the occasional maintenance issue but the building is older so you have to expect that BUT the good thing is they are super fast with repairs.
I’m on the bottom floor and yes the wood flooring is nice BUT I can hear every foot step above me which is sometimes annoying.
I hope my review does NOT discourage anyone, but rather help them make the right choice for them. I highly recommend viewing the unit before you sign anything. When I signed the unit I was moving into was still occupied so I signed without viewing it. I took some pictures of my unit decorated… sorry I don’t have empty unit photos to share.

Hi there!
If you’re looking for THE BEST PLACE to live in OC, look no further!
I’ve lived in McFadden Village Apts. for 5 years and give thanks every day that I found my home here. I truly believe that this place is the best-​kept secret in the area.
When you come to visit, your first encounter is with the impeccably maintained property, beautiful landscaping and, right now, fabulous holiday decorations.
When you then meet Irina and Emil, the managers who live right here with you, you will be in for a special treat as you are taken on a tour of the community including the immaculate pool area and the multiple clean laundry facilities. And don’t forget your garage :) :) :)
You’ll soon discover that the apartments are huge and beautifully laid-​out. And for anyone like me, one of the major attractions is the tremendous amount of closet space! I’m on the 2^nd floor and I have a fabulous balcony where my 2 kitties can bask in the sun. BTW this is an animal-​lovers paradise. Haven’t you noticed that they’re the nicest people?
There’s so much more that I could say (just take a look at some of the other reviews).
The one thing that no other community could possibly offer you is the wonderful management of Irina and Emil. Not only do they always greet you with a smile, they do everything possible to make you feel that this is your HOME.

its a HOME. Really am so touched by the EFFORTS OF IRINA, and EMIL who are the Managers of Mc Fadden Village Apartments.
ALL the Unilocal Reviews for Mc Fadden Village Apartments are a 5 star… seems unbelievable but its all TRUE.
My husband resides here for his work 5 days a week. Prior to this my Husband leased in «THE PARK» in Irvine. Ritz Carlton, which means Resort flair.
Cut down on cost, for 5 weekdays thought lets go and see what else was out there before we decide if we were going to continue our Lease at the Park.
Yes, the Park is Beautiful, GORGEOUS, and walking distance to the Spectrum. Beautiful… leased for 18 months.
No COMPLAINTS or Problems. Just wanted to seek out a cheaper option.
Well, Months of research, hours of internet searching, calling, visiting, places all over Orange County, looking for a «SAFE, Fair Priced, CLEAN, Choice.
Honestly it was a FREAK SHOW. This was very important to me, to place my Husband in the RIGHT place.
Even went to some where it made me question if it was even legal?
Some appeared more modern from first glance, to find hidden messages or plain old truthfully DUMPS.
You get the jest of coming from a Resort, Beautiful Style Setting as the Park, to
Mc Fadden Viilage Apartments. BEAUTIFUL TRANSITION.
Actually we enjoy it much more. Think its 70’s style building, so so so WELL CARED for and MAINTAINED. SPOTLESS. MY GOD ! You open the door to the actual rental… No Cleaning SMELL, WALLS SPOTLESS, Updated (not modern but its amazing it feels NEW), and COMFORTABLE.
Honestly for some reason it feels like HOME, and UPLIFTING FEELING. CLEAN, SAFE, SPOTLESS, PRIVATE, QUIET, CONVENIENT, REFRESHING, and remember what I had shared. What we left to come to this and this is the OUTCOME.
Irena and Emil –as Property Managers OMG if I owned this Apartment Building I’d do anything and everything to show utter Appreciation for what they do and have done .
HONESTLY…Irena and Emil this is their HOME. With that made it YOUR HOME too. Please notice everyone wrote or remarked about these two. Trust me… you never see them and yet they are available.
Too much to explain, their efforts and what they both have created.
Think the only thing I could say con is this. Change the name from McFadden Village to Irena and Emil’s HOME Apartments… truly believe what you are renting is their LOVE, EFFORT, and FULLY believe if it wasn’t for them those two it would never ever be so GRAND.
This is all so DEEPLY TRUE.

I have been living here for 6 months now and I seriously fell in love with this place. It’s very cozy and super convenient since it’s near pretty much everything! 405&55 Fwys, trader joes down Newport st., walking distance to Gourmet Burgers!
I moved down here for a job, and tustin was a new area for me, but Irina helped me every step of the way!
Irina will work with you and for maintenance, I always got it fixed the next day or so!
Unfortunately I might have to be moving out due to job transferring back up north… I’m sad to say bye to this place because I just barely started getting used to it.
Neighbors are nice and very peaceful area within tustin! I highly recommend this place!
Once I move out I will update my review, but so far so great! :)

Great place to live!
It’s close to 55 and 5, apartment manager Irina is super sweet and she will work with you and help you so that you have the smooth move in process. I just moved into a unit with wooden floor and everything was brand new. It’s a good size 1 bedroom with spacious living room and a bedroom with lots of closet space. It’s a good place for a dog as well as they only request for the pet deposit but no monthly charge. They give 1 parking space and a garage where you could also fit your car or use as storage. Laundry unit was very clean and nice and it has a lock to the facility. Haven’t used their pool yet but I’ve seen some families enjoying it and cant wait to lay down and soak up the sun. I would definitely recommend it :)

I have lived here for 3 ½ years and I love it! Absolutely love it. There is no pet rent — plus, I get a garage! The managers are great and always quick with maintenance requests. There are only studio and one bedroom apartments, so not for large families — but I would highly recommend this apartment community to everyone.
