Mirada at La Jolla Colony Apartments

Management’s philosophy is “out with the old, in with the new.” I’ve lived here for a couple years and it’s evident that they value new business over current tenants. After all, they can only raise the rent so much on lease renewals am I right!? My main complaint (along with several other neighbors) is the noise made around here so early. The gas powered leaf blowers start at around 7:45 or 8, and it goes to 11-12. Have a day off and want to stay up late watching movies? Get ready to be tired... all day tomorrow! Are you a college student studying for finals through the night, hoping to get a few hours of sleep before you have to go in? Be prepared to NOT get as many hours as you planned for. Work from home? Good luck trying to focus in the morning as the revving of the blower blasts through Miranda’s single pane windows.

Speaking of single pane windows, the winter gets COLD, and those windows let out all of the heat in the space. Good thing there’s some handy dandy wall heaters. They’ll only raise your electricity bill by about $300 a month, but something about 80s heating technology just makes me feel so cozy.

For the sake of time, I’ll stop here. All to say, it’s an obvious attempt at making the property desirable for someone who will spend half of a day checking the area out (new prospective tenants) at the expense of current tenants (future you). Good luck, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Lee mas

It’s been a month since we requested for them to fix termite situation. They ignored our ticket and now we have termites in our room. Terrible

Carpet bugs and theft. I have gotten my bike stollen outside of my apartment overnight while it was locked up and in the parking areas people keep hitting your car and not even leave a note.

The staff are great, but because of some dangerous incidents that have occured here. We had two bikes stolen from this apartment. One was locked up in the garage that you need a key to enter and the ULock was cut (an unfortunate incident, but not entirely unexpected), and secondly more scarily someone stole our bike from our balcony. We live on the second floor so someone literally scaled the lower apartments to get to our bike at 3 am while we were in the apartment. While we feel very lucky... that that was the only thing that was stolen it certainly does not make us feel safe to live here. And Mirada has yet to share anything to the neighborhood about either incidents to warn others of these possible occurences. Lee mas

Leslie in the front office was wonderful to us during our apartment hunt this weekend. We really appreciated the beautiful complex and amenities, and the generous move-in special they are offering for December!
