Mira Bella

I moved out to my own condo in October 2015. Lived at Mira Bella for about 20 months. I have the highest regard for the staff at Mira Bella. They always stood by their word and did their best to provide prompt, reliable and friendly service. They worked with me at every turn to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable and were quite flexible with the arrangements that had to be made when it was time for me to move out. Great people!

Since I moved in four months ago I have to say I have never experienced the level of service Mira Bella provides. Within hours of a service request, they are at your door. The office staff are great. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They greet you by name and make you feel like family. Of course the building itself has some unique amenities such as a wrapping center, digibo, two workout spaces, a great pool, fire pit and many more things to explore. Go check them out on Facebook and you will get a feel for how this community personalizes your stay.

I recently located back to SoCal and accidentally ran across Mira Bella in my search to find a new place to call home. It was a good accident ! I can’t say enough good things about the staff. You walk into the leasing office and someone quickly gets up and greets you with a friendly smile, and they are quick to help or answer any questions one may have. The maintenance team is friendly and professional — and if they should have to come in to do repairs, they clean up after themselves.
Overall, the staff takes care of the smallest of details seamlessly.
The accommodations are unbelievable, ²⁴⁄₇ gym, heated pool, lounge, plentiful secured parking for bike, motorcycles, and autos.
My one bedroom is spacious with everything one could want and is larger than it appears. There is lots of storage, and a «valet» trash pick up.
Great location that has easy access to all the highways, and is a very quiet community.
I’ll be calling Mira Bella «Home» for a while.

We just moved to Mira Bella 2 days ago but I still feel compelled to post my experience thus far. Firstly, Barbara Hart is the best leasing agent I’ve ever dealt with. She was a pleasure from the first time I spoke to her on the phone. She made the search process seamless and was always available to answer any questions. Move in day went off without a hitch. We weren’t in the office 5 minutes and we had keys in hand and were ready to roll! We love our place, the space us absolutely perfect. So far so good with noise, everyone seems to be considerate of their neighbors. The amenities are awesome as well. I’m in the lounge right now and it’s super comfortable. I’m headed to the gym later for the first time and I can’t wait. What is also great about Mira Bella is you can workout in the studio and no one else can see you (If you’re on the shy side:-)
They have workout videos that are pre-​programmed so you can select your choice and it pops up on the big screen. They have Brita water filters and bottled water as well. The Keurig machine is also available with all kinds of coffee, tea and cocoa. Lastly, there is a video rental kiosk in the lounge as well where you can download movies and watch at home.
I think we’ll be here for a while. If you’re looking for a wonderful new home check out Mira Bella.

Mira Bella is a great place to call home! Well maintained luxury apartment homes. Staff is friendly and will not hesitate one minute to help with any requests or issues that arise.
I have signed 2 additional leases after my original term.
Thank you Mira Bella!

This is an amazing community. I have no complaints. Great staff. Rachael was awesome with helping me! If this community is in your price range, definitely give it a try !!!

I’ve being here for about 2 months now .
I used to work in luxury apartments abroad so I personally think I’m very picky and strict about the service and community features.
I love the design of the community, the color the features of the common areas etc
They pick up the garbage from your front door so that’s really convenient too
The gym is 24 hours, the community is surrounded with a path where you can walk the dogs and there are trash cans to put away their business to maintain the area clean which personally I think it’s an amazing idea.
They have really good Starbucks coffee in front of the leasing office so you can drink whenever you want.
They make events for the customers too which I think it’s very cool
They pick up your packages and let you know by email that you have one which is a 5 star hotel concierge service
The staff is very friendly too
The only reason I won’t put a 5 star is that I had really noisy neighbors upstairs that made my mornings very miserable for a while because I think they were jumping and stomping the whole time
And throwing things that made me feel the ceiling was going to brake
But thankfully they moved and this is not the staff miss
Beside that I can’t hear my neighbors at all
So if I recommend it… yes definitely.

Unfortunately, I have to move out of this place. The reason why this place is maybe the best property in San Diego to live, is because of the people who work there, from the Leasing agents, to the manager and assistant manager, to the Maintenance who take care of any request I have ever made in a couple of hours. I am going to miss living here and living here will spoil you. You will feel like you are living at a resort and are on a permanent vacation. Thank you Mira Bella for a great year!

Lived here for a few months. My husband got stationed here in SD so of course I had to follow. This place is pretty quiet… I have no complaints so far:) Maybe the loud kids by the pool but they are quiet by curfew. As for parking. There is plenty of space! Close to hospitals too if you’re a medical professional. I can walk to work!

Honestly, this is the best apartment complex I have ever lived at! The hospitality of the staff is second to none, they treat us like family and listen to all of our crazy ideas to improve the community! The maintenance team, I call them the big 3 (Justin, Angelo, and Pat!) get things done so fast! Maintenance request get handled with tremendous care and quickness, sometimes within the hour. Little things like them cleaning the pool every single morning makes a difference in the cleanliness of the entire facility. The maintenance peeps literally treat and clean the place like their home! And the leasing staff are like family! We wont be moving any time soon! It’s like living at a 5 star resort!

Might as well live downtown with how bad parking is for guests. Used to be a small area of parking spaces, but now you have to get a guest pass. You could have guests park at the park next door, which is what we typically do, but the signs say only 2 hours between 8am-​6pm.

Lived here for a year. The maint department was great helped us out a lot all in all a nice place to live

Moved into Mira Bella when we first moved to San Diego and stayed 2.5 years until we bought a house.
The MB staff was fantastic from move in to move out. They were always quick to respond to any requests. The maintenance staff did a great job keeping the property looking good and in working order.
MB is probably the best value for the money in the area. We were able to get a 2 bedroom here for cheaper than a 1 bedroom at Archstone Presidio. MB has better amenities imo as well.
As with any apartment living, the quality of neighbors may vary. We got lucky and had really great people to share walls with.
Bottom line: wouldn’t have moved if we continued to rent.

Mira Bella is very spacious. Their apartments are much bigger inside than other apartments that I have live at.
Barbara the leasing consultant is the best. She will make you want to live here. She’s very welcoming and helpful at all times even when she is off!!! Go to Barbara for everything!!! She is so nice!
We can also rent movies downstairs in the lounge with this thing called «digiboo» so goodbye redbox.
The brunches are the best they are from the food network, they even give free cocktails!
The only downside is you can only have time warner cable and their plans are not as good as AT&T.

Mira Bell is definitely trying to live up the the «luxury» in its name. They have made improvements to the gym which are nice but they have a little ways to go if you like to go in regards to weight training equipment. The maintenance staff is wonderful, Justin and Angelo are amazing, things are done asap correctly and they check up on you and update you every step of the way. The office team is also quite nice.
The ONLY reason I am not giving this community 5 stars is the whole valet garbage issue. I don’t mind paying the $ 35 each month but it is only for trash pickup from Sunday-​Thursday which leaves Friday-​Saturday of me taking out my trash. Honestly they need to either change the valet trash to 7 days a week for $ 35 or make it optional for tenants so that if you don’t want to pay the extra money you don’t have to.
The valet trash bill is more than half of my Sewer, Trash, and Water which is really high considering I only get trash pickup for 5 days.
It really is quite a beautiful place to live. I haven’t gone through the move out process yet but hopefully it will be smooth and peaceful and once I do I will make another update letting you guys know how it goes.

This apartment may seem like living in a hotel because of semi-​closed areas in hallways and elevators, but we fortunately ended up living in an apartment that is very convenient to the parking garage and back yard to take out our dogs. The actual apartment community is growing! We are receiving new equipment for our gym and the community. The staff are very friendly and helpful. A person that really stands out is Angelo Martinez who is a part of the maintenance team. This guy was very knowledgable about the issues we were having and provided excellent service. He is very friendly, respectful, and gets the job done quickly with quality service. Not only does he fix the problem, but he explains thoroughly on what the cause is and how he is going to fix it. If you ever need maintenance done, you can count on him!

I really loved this apartment when I first moved in. Megan in the office helped me with the tour, and I was able to secure an apartment right by the park. It was gorgeous! It was a one bedroom, nice cabinets and grantie countertops. I was able excited that we were right next to the outdoor area with the grills and fireplace! Megan was able to hook me up and only $ 99 deposit to move in (I was military) and a pet deposit. The place has underground parking and its unassigned. The only thing that was a little annoying was that the apartment only came with 1 key fob. My husband and I lived there together, obviously, so we actually had to PAY a monthy fee for a SECOND key fob. Seems like you would give two for the two people that live there, but hey, ok. The place had, what sounded like, awesome amenitites. They had the outdoor firepits, grills, saltwater pool, and valet trash!
Then, things started to go wrong (only on an 8 month lease.):
1. The firepits outside of my apartment was broken, and parts were on order. Fair enough. Except that the entire time we lived there is was NEVER repaired.
2. The A/​C in my apartment leaked like CRAZY all over the floor. I reported it once, and Justin (The maintenenace guy who is super nice) came to check it out. He just said that we were freezing the pipes and that we need to turn our A/​C down. Ok. But it continued to leak right onto my carpet. So, we called again. And again. And it was checked and determined «fine» multiple times. Finally, they realized that the A/​C needed to be charged and finally fixed it. We were without A/​C for the first 3 months we were there.
3. Remember when I mentined about PAYING for another garage opener? I drive a car, my husband drives a motorcycle. There is designeated «cages» for motorcycles on the 2^nd floor, but since we were PAYING for an extra spot, my husband would park in a spot. There was ALWAYS parking available. He got ticketed for parking in a spot. I can see why they would want us to use the motorcycle parking but unless you live on the 2^nd floor it was really a pain. We are paying for an extra spot, and if I had a car it would take a spot. I don’t see the difference if it is a motorcycle. Free parking? I understand. Paying for it? I don’t think so.
4. The valet trash is great in theory, but tons of restrictions. You HAVE to pay $ 35/​month as well. I lived right next to the trash room but could not opt out.
And finally, this happened.
Upon moveout, I did my pre walkthrough with Justin. He was very informative and went over all the charges. He asked me if I planned to try to clean the apartment to get all of my deposit back, and naturally, I said, «yes.» He told me that it would kind of be a waste of time. Since they were going to have to hire a company to come clean anyway, they would just charge me $ 125 to clean the entire apartment. So, I get to move out and not have to spend an entire day deep cleaning? Sounds good to me. He also gave me half price on paint since the paint was kind of dirty when I moved in. I’m thinking I’m getting a great deal. The carpets were pretty dirty since I had a puppy that had peed so I expected to pay to have the cleaned, or even replaced.
Then I recieved the move out statement. Good lord.
I had a credit of $ 498.90, which was my deposit and pet deposit. I was charged $ 100 for paint and $ 125 to clean, just like Justin has explained. My dog destroyed the blinds because she is psycho and we broke a drawer, so we paid $ 150 for that. Totally fair. Now, the carpet had to be replaced because my dog has peed on it. I was totally ok with this. But when I saw how much they wanted to charge me I almost blew a gasket.
$ 737.96! Of course, this was PRORATED for me. It was orginially $ 850.00. Oh, thanks. Keep in mind we only lived there for 8 MONTHS. This is a joke, right?
There is a law in the State of California that protects tenants from landlords who want to replace the carpet, whether it be damaged, or just because. It states that the landlord can only charge the tenant for the amount of life they WOULD of gotten out of the carpet if it did not need to be replaced.
I’m so glad I looked that up. What Mira Bella was claiming had to of meant that the carpet was BRAND NEW upon move in. I looked in my lease, nothing to say it was brand new. They were trying to charge me for 4 years and 4 months worth of carpet use they «lost.» (This was a 5 year carpet.) My husband called and asked for an explination and the gal said they were supposed to send us an invoice proving the carpet was new. They didn’t. After weeks of no calls or invoice, they sent us to collections. My husband just called yesterday, and talked to James. He said they he just ASSUMED that the carpet was new. It was replaced in 2010. WHOOPS.
ALL THIS FOR $ 1635.00 A MONTH.

They overcharged me $ 567.58, by ASSUMING. Thank god I didn’t just pay it. Watch your wallets here, folks.

Everywhere you go, people will have their positive and negative experiences. I have been here almost a year and absolutely love it here. Summer was great, good events put on my the staff and I enjoyed the pool a lot. Plenty of amenities. Cleaning crew does a decent job picking up after people around here.
I have lived in MANY apartment complexes in my life and the maintenance staff and ease of scheduling a task is by far the best. Really good people work here from the office to the maintenance. I had Megan as my leasing specialist and she was phenomenal and has been a great person to go to if anything comes up.
What really makes this place great is their constant need to want to change things and make things better. I was part of a survey which asked what changes I would like to see around here and I felt my voice was heard.
Inside my apartment everything feels better quality than most apartments. Originally built as condos (from what I was told), the cabinets are large, huge pantry, sturdy walls and counter tops. For the most part, residents are respectful around here. No crazy parties or disturbances from what I have experienced so far in 2013. Love it here.

Now some loser broke into our apartment; final straw for me!
Negatives: cheap paint on cabinets; flakes off easily, not all residents are of the working class; if you get my drift. When they started letting anybody & everybody move in, that’s when we started having things taken (that’s enough to really piss you off!!) (3^rd time is a charm for me) level 1 hallway is horrible; concrete with stains; I expect a little more for $ 2545/​mth! A lot of residents do not pick up after their pets… yuck! There are some positives though: Staff, amenities, property appeal & location is prime; if you’re considering moving here I would definitely recommend one of the upper levels!; may be a bit safer!

The cool thing about this place is that it is located right off the 805 freeway and 163. I think you can quickly get anywhere in sSD from here. A very central location.
The parking is a garage, but it’s right next door to a park, so there is plenty of visitor parking
Unique amenities offered:
*I love that it offers extra storage
*There is a workout studio with full mirror, not just a gym!
*They have a gift wrapping station in the community room
*Salt water pool
The 2 bdrm 2 bath with loft is an amazing deal but too bad the spiral staircase makes it tough to get furniture up and down.
The residents consistent mainly of families and it seems like a lot are surprisingly miitary.
