18880douglas very bad experience the last 6 months or so and the manager did not even try to resolve the issues! first of all the Carlyle needs an onsite 24hr security guard! they lie and said there is on site security but the people that live here all know thats not true! if u have a problem they suggest u call the police but only after 10pm! I have lived here for over 7 years and things r getting worse at this complex not better! I guess it may be time to move on!!!

I have wanted to move to this complex for a few years, my office is located on Von Karman and I like the Irvine Business Complex area. I am very happy a unit in the vicinity of the pool on the 1st floor was available. This complex is centrally located to the freeways and Newport Beach, and yet its tucked away behind the Hilton Hotel and is very quiet. Unlike so many apartment complexes in the area, traffic around the complex is very low, even though it's very close to the airport. The location allows me to avoid some of the heavier traveled streets such as Jamboree and MacArthur because I can use Von Karman to get home.

I recently moved here and am so happy with the transition from a different apartment community. The main office personnel are efficient and friendly and willing to do the extra thing to make me feel welcome. The residents are also very friendly and I feel this is a direct reflection of the community and main people in charge. The new maintenance team with Javier at the helm is terrific. Very responsive! I plan on living here for a very long time!

I have had the pleasure of living at The Carlyle for the past 8 months now and I have loved being here! My first interaction with the complex was with a leasing agent named Aimee who was so caring and friendly and helpful, I couldnt believe it! I literally wanted to be friends with her! The manager and the staff moved mountains to help my kids and I move in. I was going through a divorce and we were living in a hotel for several weeks. The move in day was incredible and the maintenance staff made sure to fix the couple of things needing fixed. As the months went by, the staff started bringing virtual activities and events to us, which was so fun! And throughout this horrible pandemic, they have worked with the residents to help us with financial difficulties and they NEVER judge anyone or treat them differently. I have never seen an apartment complex staff be as incredible as this staff has been! I even applied to work with them because I liked what they represented so much! Thank you Greystar for hiring these amazing people!

I moved in May 2020. I love my apartment, the staff very efficient. #1 concern is the safety of all. Very friendly addressing us by our first name. Doing various activities to occupy our time while still under seclusion via zoom.Any one thinking of moving into the Carlyle should have no hesitation, you will be very happy.

This property is well maintained, but aging and dated which makes it overpriced for the area. Most amenities are closed due to Covid which provides little benefit to renting here.

We've all been experiencing scary times in the history of our country. The Carlyle has been a true safe haven. The staff goes above and beyond to meet my needs. The maintenance crew is superb! This is a lovely boutique apartment complex in a very tucked away location thats a stone throw into 4 cities that I love to visit. Its close to the 405 as well as the 73. Plenty of eateries within walking. I also ride my bike to the Newport Back Bay which is very important to me. This is my second year leasing here. I am very picky! The Carlyle is by far the best value as well as best overall living environment. Generous living space during so much confinement has been a godsend!

Quiet & Friendly Place to live

My husband and I have loved living at The Carlyle for the past 15 months. The staff and neighbors are friendly, maintenance issues are taken care of promptly. The interior courtyard is gorgeous and although we are in close proximity to the airport, the double pane windows keep the apartments amazingly quiet. With plenty of well manicured Irvine & Newport Beach business parks, this area is great for walking dogs and always feels safe.My favorite feature of this location is the size of our apartment: 1500 square feet for a two bedroom, 2 bath (Residence 3) with 12' ceilings and a fireplace (top, 4th floor only). I feel like I'm living in a home. We have parking for our five cars (my husband has 'car issues') and you feel like you're close to everything. The list could go on but after looking at many apartments in person, we were so happy to have found The Carlyle.

Living at the Carlyle has been an excellent experience. I had visited the Carlyle 4 years ago under certain circumstances did not lease. The opportunity for a move came up again and am so happy my appartment home was available. I made a great choice.

Terribly unreasonable management

We were excited to move here because the complex is well maintained and we were pregnant with twins. However, as soon as we moved in, we found many minor repairs were needed and that the laundry machine was staining our clothes. Unfortunately, at the same time, I was admitted to the hospital for preterm labor resulting in our babies being in the NICU for 3 months. During this period, management blamed us for how we were washing our laundry. They did multiple tests on the machines which also resulted in stained clothes. They claimed this was because the shirt was old and had a myriad of excuses every time a load was done, and pictures were sent proving multiple damages to our clothes. After a month and a half and while living in the hospital, they offered to have US pay for a technician for their clearly broken machine. Ultimately we would caution ANY future residents due to the management of this otherwise beautiful building. Additionally, we are still waiting for them to fix some other minor repairs. This is especially challenging that they have not done so after multiple requests as we are simultaneously living in the NICU right now.

Great for People who Travel Frequently

This apartment is walking distance from John Wayne Airport so it is great if you travel frequently. Overall, the apartment is very quiet and I have been living here for over a year and have not had any problems. Living in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, the only thing that could be different is the size of the bedrooms. The master bedroom is a great size but when looking at the 2nd bedroom, it is just way too small. I have a full size bed in the 2nd bedroom and when I pull out my suitcase to pack for trip, the suitcase fills up the whole room. Other than that, the staff are really friendly and will come up to your rooms quickly if you need assistance.
