<p>4walls,</p> <p>I'm pretty sure the market rate is the rate shown on rental-living.com. We didn't have those posted when I was there but I've been keeping track of mine and it has been accurate. If you talk to a leasing consultant they will also tell you. I believe the craigslist prices...

You can't really beat IAC at their game. What most people don't realize is that great deal you got today will only look that much worse next year when they jack your rent up to the market rate. The best place to start when researching apartments with IAC is the market rate as shown on their...

<p>You all sound like you are getting some decent deals. There is really no secret to getting a better rate, just negotiate, and check craigslist of course. You can always call the leasing office as a prospective renter to find out what the current specials are. In IAC world things change...

Thanks IAC renter. I've actually been in healthcare now for nearly 2 1/2 years. It just seems that people in healthcare have a better perspective on what is important. However, I'm not really dealing with their home life, it's only work related. Honestly, I hadn't really thought about how...

Kudos to you ISM, you indeed sound like a great renter, one of the few. My views are hardly narrow. The only thing I am projecting is actual experiences shared by me and the other staff members at the community I was working at. We happened to be recognized as the community of the year and...

One more comment Anteater, I don't know about your community but most do renter appreciation days. We did one about once a month. We would buy all sorts of good eats and place an invite on every single door in the community to come in, usually on a Saturday morning. We'd usually get...

Anteater, So now my points are not valid. You struck a chord there with me. It was a thankless job and it wasn't because of IAC. They were a good company to work for. The renters is what made it thankless. As for the "rules" there are always exceptions but the problem was every...

IAC is not the evil empire. I've rented from at least 6 or 7 different management companies and a few private, and IAC was the best. I'm not a shill for IAC, but I did happen to work as a leasing consultant for them several years ago and I'm now a renter, so I get to see both sides. What a...

I'm with Reason, I wonder what this means for their development at the Great Park.

I understand TIC will be developing some of the land off 133 near Quail Hill and the old Cat Country. You can see some of the future road plans near Laguna Canyon.

I've looked at these. It's a studio. The room downstairs is a waste, especially with the outside stairs. This is only really good for one person. There is absolutely no storage/closet space and the bathroom is the size of a small closet. Rediculous.

If rents can stay reasonable for a few years and I can save a little more for downpayment <strong>and </strong>real estate comes down some, I'll buy in Irvine. If I can't save enough and real estate even stays flat or goes up some, I'm out of Irvine. Maybe even back to the Midwest if this...

Iceeman - I feel your pain. I'm a little older than you and relatively new to SoCal. Moved to Irvine in early 2004 at the height of the madness. I did a little research before moving here (not enough) and thought that I would rent for a few years, bank some money and buy. I didn't see the...
