The Harbour at Orange Coast College, costa-mesa-cal

I just moved in yesterday, and the post is well overdue!! The unit is absolutely amazing, and I’m already loving it!!! The facility is stunning as a whole! Unfortunately, I have yet to meet people due to moving before an accelerated winter term (not a traditional semester); the staff are extremely kind, and were kind enough to walk me through pretty much every question (which I had a lot as I’ve never done a lease of any kind before, let alone get one co-signed). Move-in went very smoothly, and it is not only right next to the OCC campus, but there’s shops surrounding it on both Fairview and Harbor Blvd. I have yet to go and meet people and explore the area (was exhausted after moving in, which is pretty normal regardless of the location). I would highly recommend looking into this place for any Orange Coast College student (especially ones who are from anywhere 30+ minutes away like I am)!

I’ve had a great experience living at The Harbour at OCC. The location is very convenient for students attending Orange Coast College, and the community is welcoming and supportive. The staff and RAs are helpful and responsive whenever residents need assistance. The property is well maintained, and there are many opportunities to meet people and participate in community events. Overall, it’s a comfortable and friendly place for students to live.

this place sucks. they announced on the intercom that they were performing a fire alarm test, it was quiet for 5 minutes then the fire alarm came on and didnt stop for around 25 minutes. also might i add the test was conducted at 9:30 in the morning. i understand 9:30 is not very early but to be conducting a fire alarm test that takes 20 minutes at any time in the morning hours is wrong. i pay too much just for them to not take out the trash and be woken up. again this place sucks.

If there was a way to put negative stars I definitely would put negative stars. You can live somewhere else. I recommend you do it. I understand that it's convenient. It's down the street from school but this place is horrible. Trust me, ask around, ask anybody before you sign the lease. They have too many issues but when you try to fix the issues they give you the runaround. There's a lot of car thefts. There's been people that get jumped. People's bikes get stolen. They hired security but the security don't want to deal with these people because they get threatened all the time. There's been issues where people get sexually harassed. Again, if you can live somewhere else do so. Do not live at the harbor. This is a horrible place.

I came over multiple days to review the The Harbour and found it to be completely unsafe for my daughter. Doors were propped open. The amoint of dog doo and liqiuids from trash that stain the hallways is a travesty and abhorrent. It looked like one bathroom was used for drug deals only. The front gate was ajar and unable to be shut for a week. No security protocols. Not to metion the cleanliness. The fact that OCC finds this even slightly okay or adequate for it's students is it's own indictment of OCC as an educational institution receiving federal/government funds.
