Regency Apartments

My boyfriend and I took over a 2-​month lease upon moving to Vancouver, Washington. Having just left the worst apartment complex I’ve ever lived in in Orange County, CA — you could say that ANYWHERE would make us happier than there!
But all bias aside, Regency was good to us. The apartment complex itself was well kept. Great amenities. Friendly staff. Good location. Felt very safe for us.
Only downfalls were that the fire alarms went off repeatedly even after being inspected multiple times. The walls are VERY thin (could hear neighbors when simply talking on the phone). And the gate broke down once with no one to answer the help line or assist.
Other than that — I’d recommend. However, if you’re a potential long-​term tenant, you KNOW that you never really know a place until you’ve lived there for 1+ years.
Thanks Regency!

My wife and I have lived here for 4 months but due to a really noisy unit it has felt like forever. On top of that our lease renewal seemed excessive to say the least since they are trying to tell us that the market rate for a 2 BR 2 BA has gone up to almost $ 1,400 when the property right next store, Sterling Point, offered us a top floor 2 BR 2 BA Loft unit for only $ 1,200. Luckily for us we found a similar unit at The Pointe for even cheaper than that!
The property itself is really nice though as the pool and club house are great things to have at your place (when it’s not full of kids that is) and being so close to the 205 is super convenient. The leasing staff and maintenance staff have always been great to us too even though some of the policies of the Al Angelo company make it clear they don’t give a F@#K about their residents.
For example, when I reached out to the leasing office to see if there was anything they could do for us since we were unhappy with the level of day time noise in our unit we were kindly told that the only way to be able to change units mid-​lease would be to pick a bigger floor plan and pay more money, Jeez thanks for the option!
Noisy neighbors aside my biggest pet peeve about this property is their stupid gate which is purely for show since it allows anyone to walk right through while also making anyone unlucky enough to pick a unit in the front of the property (Buildings A thru H) forced to have to hear a loud «CLINK-​CLANK» every single time a vehicle leaves the property. If you are going to advertise as a Luxury Gated community then stop being cheap by having a grate on the exit instead of an actual gate that opens and closes.
I STRONGLY suggest trying to get a unit in the back of this property and don’t make the same mistake we did by picking a unit based solely on whether it had AC or not because the AC is BS too since it only keeps the living room cool (like the ones you get in a hotel) while doing nothing for the bedrooms.
And if you are accepting a middle floor unit in Building H in the beginning of October it’s a good chance it’s my unit (the closest one to the gate) so be advised that your upstairs neighbors have a small child who is constantly running around and I really don’t think there wasn’t a single day where I wasn’t annoyed at the sound of the gate or running/​stomping around upstairs.

My husband and I stayed in this apartment complex for 6 months almost two years ago and I hated it! The apartment itself was ok, like any other average apartment building, but the managment and the neighbours were terrible. I remember we just moved in and the neighbour below started banging on the walls and reported us for making excessive noise and we didn’t even unpack or anything. We also got a note just like one of the ladies who said something similar in one of the other reviews, with no civilized talk, reasons, nothing. It sounded like we were going to get vaccated pretty soon. That happened again after a few months. The office staff (at least one of them) was rude, and uncooperative, I complained about the issue our neighbours have with us (and us with them by that point) and she was like Oh, yeah, well, you have to watch how you walk, try not to walk too hard. I was stunned. In general I had an impression they were trying to have an attitude as if it was a Bel Air neighbourhood residency, and it is not exactly so… A lot of things were frustrating there, from small to big things. They were putting messages to the doors every month do this, clean this, you need to tdo this, you need to do that. I totally get the review with the sticker on their car.
The location was also pretty bad for me personally, because there is nothing I can walk to, only a few other apartment complexes and a freeway. We only rented it because we had to find an apartment really fast and that one was decent and available.

I’ve never had a bad experience at these apartment. The layout of the apartment i have been in is beautiful. With a magnificent loft above the living area. The apartments are gated so no chance of those dirty neighborhood hoodrats or homeless getting in. If you’re looking for a new home this is the place!

I love this apartment community. I wanted to wait to write a review until my husband and I had been here for a few months, just because I thought maybe anything would seem good after our last place. But nope they really are amazing.
The clubhouse is gorgeous and has three areas for exercise, one being a weight room one cardio, and one room for aerobics and classes. There is a computer center which is great for when my husband’s laptop is misbehaving and he doesn’t want to use mine (OT but I have lots if rules so it doesn’t get screwed up). The staff is friendly and professional. I have never had a bad interaction and they always take care of your needs right away. We even had an issue where our downstairs neighbor’s fan was on constantly and keeping us awake so I called, thinking they wouldn’t be able to do anything about it but lo and behold, they did. So so impressed.
The apartments themselves I will say are dated a bit but appliances all function well and ours was immaculate when we moved in. Appliances and cabinets aren’t a big deal for me; this is a temporary stop in our road to owning a home and I’ve lived in a townhouse with granite and stainless steel and they were awful awful awful. I so wish I had found this place when we moved down here originally!
We have a one bedroom and a loft. The living room is my hands down favorite place. So much light and so much space! We put our love seat in storage so we can fit a sofa, armchair, coffee table, and our tv is under the stairs.
If you’re going to have hang ups about appliances, this might not be your spot. Everything works and works well and I can tell that if or when things can’t be fixed, they’re replaced. It keeps it an affordable community.
Love it, you will too.

Lived here for 4 years and can’t say enough good things.
The office staff and maintenance crew are wonderful. What ever I needed, they handled in a short amount of time while being courteous and friendly the entire time.
Only bad thing is parking. My parking spot wasn’t that close to my apartment which is fine, unless you live alone on the third floor and have to carry groceries by yourself. Guest parking also gets a little mucked up with people just parking their cars and leaving them for days, but the office was great at getting that handled too.
Other that, they’re great and I’d suggest living here to anyone I know.

I’m in love with these apartments. Moved into a 1 bedroom with a loft. It was on the 3^rd floor. The bathroom was huge so was the bedroom and walk in closet. The living room was kinda small but only because the stairs leading to the loft took up room. Kitchen is a what I like to call a hallway kitchen. But part of the kitchen wall opened up to the living room. The only real negative was being on the 3^rd floor was moving in and out… So many stairs. But over all this place is awesome!!!
