Cherry Orchard Apartments
I have had experience with renting from Irvine Company before and I have had various experiences as it is usually based on the staff for that particular site. Cherry Orchard is one of the better places of the couple of places I have rented. The main reason I chose this place (I also really liked Stewart Village) was based on local and safety (gated with a night watchman) as I am single and live alone with my two dogs.
I have a basic 2 bedroom on a second floor by the stairs and I have the... sound of a pretty water fountain throughout the day. The apartment itself has you typical cooperate housing features including Whirlpool appliances (gas oven/stove top) and granite counter tops. If I were to remodel a home I would not choose the particular furnishings but they look nice enough as I was in a pinch to find a safe place to live. The bathrooms are the same idea and the shower is nothing fancy but easy to keep clean. One thing I could not find anywhere was an apartment with a decent patio so that was my only pet peeve and it is not isolated to just this place.
There is a very nice public park with two dog parks across the street and you are in walking distance to many little shops and restaurants (I routinely walk to Trader Joe's next door to get my groceries and for the supermarket I have a Safeway a little further). Downtown Sunnyvale and Mountain View are handy and close by via car drive. The area is not the hipster part of Long Beach that I used to know but for safety, proximity to my job at a local teaching hospital, and access to surrounding business it's just fine.
