Overture Rancho Santa Margarita 55+ Apartment Homes

Reviewer#AT0322B

We lived in Overture Rancho Santa Margarita 55+ Apartment Homes since 2015. The management for the past two years has been very bad. The manager has moved to another location and someone is going to be coming in eventually, which I think is a breach of the terms because they are not telling the residents who's coming in and what's their name is. As far as many of us are concerned, the upkeep is not getting an 'A' rating. It's a very nice setup with one-bedroom and two-bedrooms with a nice pool area. It's a very nice arrangement, but it suffers from a lack of management. In light of the cost, it's not cheap, but it's not over the top. There's no food or entertainment. It was cut short because of the pandemic. There's always a budget for events and I just wonder what happened to that budget, because it's not been used. We paid into it. There's a lot of bitterness around here. When you enter the door, there's a kitchen and a view from the kitchen into the living room, which is quite large. All the rooms are good sized and we had a two-bedroom, two-bath, and a large living room. We've set it up and we're pleased with it. We also have a pool and from that standpoint, we're very happy with the facility, but the maintenance is poor. We had activities. Some people participated. Some didn't. I started a Friday night wine time which was quite successful. We would have, maybe, forty five people show up with "pick-up" food and drinks if they wanted to have that and it was nice. People were friendly and chatt, and that was cut off right away. We had a movie night.

Overture Rancho Santa Margarita is very nice. We like it. My mother-in-law just moved in yesterday, and the staff has been fabulous. The dining area is beautiful. Her room is very nice. They have a nice gym, a swimming pool, and a movie theater. Everything is pretty good there.

My mother-in-law moved into Overture Rancho Santa Margarita 55+. The place seems to be great, and she's enjoying it there. Her apartment is under a thousand square feet. It has recently been renovated with new flooring and new countertops. The activities are nice, the amenities are nice and the staff is also nice. They have a wide variety of things you can choose from, there's something going on every day. The common areas have all recently renovated. The property was sold late last year to new owners. They have a nice library and the common areas are also really nice. One of the things that we liked was that from the time you made a deposit, you have 45 days after move in to start paying rent. That was very important to us because we actually had to move my mother-in-law from Northern California to Southern California. So that was a big selling point for us. Overall, the place looks very clean.

Buena Vida is an apartment complex. It’s a very nice, spacious community with a gym and a cafe.

Mom is at Buena Vida and she is doing okay for now. It's an active senior living and she has been there for at least six months. It's a nice facility and they offer a lot of activities that the residents could sign up for. They also have a theatre and a pool. The staff are very nice.
