Mirada

The smell of marijuana in this building is constant and overwhelming. It fills the hallways and even the elevators, and it’s not just occasional—it’s day and night. The odor is so strong that it seeps into units, making it really uncomfortable to live here.

What makes it worse is that there’s no way to get fresh air—you can’t open the windows—so the smell just lingers with no relief. It’s frustrating to deal with this every single day, especially when you expect a clean and livable environment... in your own home.

Management seriously needs to address this issue. It’s affecting the quality of life for residents and shouldn’t be ignored. Read More

I would not recommend living here due to multiple ongoing issues that significantly affect daily living.
Residents frequently smoke often late at night or early in the morning and there is often a strong weed smell that travels directly into neighboring apartments. It gets so bad that I cannot open my windows without the smell and smoke coming inside. The gym also frequently smells like smoke, which even carries into the restroom.
In addition to the air quality concerns, there is frequent noise... that disrupts the living environment. There are loud train noises, including screeching and wheezing sounds early in the morning, and the AC unit is extremely loud. At times, the engine noise is so strong that it shakes the ceiling and creates a grinding sound.
There are also pest issues, with ants and other insects frequently seen throughout the premises, which raises additional concerns about cleanliness and upkeep.
The hallways also smell very stale, possibly due to mold or mildew, which further adds to concerns about ventilation and overall building maintenance. Maintenance issues are not taken seriously and often go unresolved, and management appears to be unaware of ongoing problems.
If you value clean air, a quiet environment, and responsive management, this is something to seriously consider before moving in. Read More

I’ve had a very disappointing experience living here due to ongoing maintenance and management issues that consistently affect quality of life.
There have been persistent pest problems (roaches, ants, spiders, fruit flies) that don’t seem to be effectively addressed. Maintenance appears limited in scope, with noticeable cost-cutting in basic upkeep—such as landscaping being delayed until grass is overgrown, along with increased pests around those times. Several fixtures, including windows and... balcony doors, also do not function properly.
There are ongoing concerns with mold and mildew in parts of the building, as well as ventilation issues that contribute to unpleasant odors in common areas. Water quality has also been an issue at times, with an unusual odor that makes it difficult to use comfortably.
Utility costs have also been unexpectedly high at times, even during periods when the unit was not occupied for extended stretches and minimal to no appliances were being used, which raised concerns about billing consistency.
Common areas are often affected by smoke and strong odors due to hallway ventilation use by residents. Shared amenities are also unreliable, including frequent long-term outages of equipment and inconsistent stocking of basic supplies.
Communication with management and maintenance has often felt dismissive rather than solution-focused, which makes it difficult to see real improvement. Frequent ownership changes over a short period may also be contributing to the lack of consistency in upkeep.
Overall, the living experience has fallen well below expectations, and I would not recommend this community. Read More

Absolutely avoid Mirada. The staffs are concerningly retaliatory and I am glad I moved out. Lived here for less than 2 years and they are cutting corners on literally everything
