Convenience is built into Esperanza Apartment Homes. These spaces include six different floor plans ranging from 650 to 1,069 square feet and include one-bed/bath, two-bed/one bath and two- bed/two-bath options. In-unit washer and dryer, ultra high-speed internet and energy efficient Nest thermostats are among the features here, but perhaps the biggest perk is private garages for residents, some of which have direct access to apartments.
Common spaces include a saltwater pool and spa, outdoor barbecue area, clubhouse, gym and on-site workspace. For commuters, the apartments are located near the 133 and 241. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate Esperanza’s proximity to Jeffrey Open Space Trail, while parents with music-loving children might take advantage of classes at nearby WePlayMusic. Moreover, the community’s location adjacent to Woodbury Town Center makes running day-to-day errands a breeze. Residents have easy access to two grocery stores, a drug store and multiple home goods stores.
Like other Irvine Company properties, Esperanza has a WELL Health-Safety rating from the International Well Building Institute, includes easy access to outdoor spaces, includes environmentally friendly design elements, has an air filtration system and is a smoke and vape-free property.

Irvine Company’s Santa Rosa Apartment Homes offers floor plans to fit a variety of needs, from one-bedroom, one-bathroom units that measure in at under 800 square feet, to three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom townhomes with walk-in closets, storage areas and direct garage access.

However, you will be a short drive away from Tustin’s retail and dining hub, The District, and walking distance from Plaza Park. Head to Irvine Company’s website to check for available units at Santa Rosa, where you can also take a virtual tour of the apartments and schedule and in-person, self-guided tour.
