Current Pricing by Floor Plan
| Unit Type | Size Range | Starting Rent | Top of Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 391 to 723 sq ft | $2,425 | $3,745 |
| 1 Bedroom | 508 to 1,090 sq ft | $2,700 | $4,890 |
| 2 Bedroom | 1,060 to 1,445 sq ft | $3,500 | $5,410 |
Studio rent here lands close to the Irvine Spectrum neighborhood average of $2,533 and just under the citywide Irvine average of $2,552, while one-bedroom rent runs above both figures. The gap widens at the one-bedroom tier: this property’s floor of $2,700 already exceeds the neighborhood’s own one-bedroom average of $3,105 by the time a mid-size unit is added in, so studio hunters get the better relative deal here, not one-bedroom hunters.
The property shows availability within roughly two weeks across most studio and one-bedroom plans as of this writing, and a reduced security deposit applies to leases signed by July 20, 2026, per the current listing.
Why does the rent I see quoted differ from what a leasing agent offers? Base rent varies by unit within the same floor plan, typically by $50 to $300, based on floor level and lease term. The ranges above reflect the full spread currently listed, not one fixed price.
Total Cost to Move In
| Fee | Amount | Timing | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application fee | $45 per applicant | At application | One-time |
| Security deposit | $600 to one month’s rent | At move-in | One-time, refundable |
| Utility billing fee | Up to $5.55/month | Monthly | Recurring |
| Pet deposit (dog) | $750 | At move-in | One-time, refundable |
| Pet monthly fee (dog) | $75/month | Monthly | Recurring |
| Late fee | $50 | Per occurrence | Conditional |
These figures match on both the landlord’s own leasing site and Apartments.com, so the fee set carries two independent confirmations rather than one. A studio at $2,425 clears the standard 30%-of-income affordability threshold at roughly $97,000 in annual gross income.
Is renters insurance required? Yes, with limited exceptions, under the community’s lease terms.
The Park vs. The Park II
The address cluster around 13120 Spectrum leases through two separate systems, “The Park Apartment Homes” and “The Park II Apartment Homes,” each with its own login and application track on the landlord’s site. Touring or applying under the wrong one means restarting with a different leasing office.
Is The Park the same community as The Park II? No. They are leased separately, even though they share a neighborhood and a landlord.
The Newly Added Floor Plans Inside a 2009 Building
The community was built in 2009, with 4 stories and 1,456 units. The floor plans marketed as “Brand New,” including Plan 100 at 391 square feet, are smaller micro-studio and micro-one-bedroom units ranging from 391 to 643 square feet, distinct from the standard 708-to-1,445-square-foot plans that make up most of the property. The newness applies to a specific pocket of small units, not the building as a whole.
What Residents Say, and Why the Platforms Disagree
| Platform | Sample Size | Summary | Best Used For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apartments.com | 10 reviews | 2.6/5; bimodal, 4 five-star and 6 one-star, none in between | A quick, if thin, sentiment snapshot |
| Yelp | 660 reviews, 296 photos | No visible aggregate score in the listing; includes a management Q&A on noise | Depth and volume of first-person accounts |
| ApartmentRatings.com | Multiple narrative reviews | Mixed: maintenance and cleanliness complaints alongside a resident pro/con list citing the pool, gym, and staff courtesy | Reading actual complaint patterns, not just a star count |
Ten reviews is too thin a base to carry the 2.6 figure on its own; the two larger, independent pools converge on the same pairing instead, praise for the amenities set against recurring maintenance-response complaints.
Which review number should I trust, the 2.6 stars or Yelp’s larger sample? Weight the star average lightly given its size, and read the maintenance and cleanliness complaints across Yelp and ApartmentRatings.com instead, since those repeat across hundreds of independent accounts.
Noise, Traffic, and Everyday Livability
HowLoud rates the property 70 out of 100 on its Soundscore, labeled “Active,” with traffic noise flagged “Busy” while airport and business noise register “Calm.” Local Logic puts walkability at 60/100 and transit access at 30/100, against a drivability score of 100/100.
How It Compares With Three Nearby Communities
| Property | Distance | Starting Rent | Unit Mix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pacifica Place at Irvine Spectrum | 0.2 mi | $2,900 | 1 to 2 bedroom |
| Promenade at Irvine Spectrum | 1.1 mi | $3,000 | 1 to 2 bedroom |
| Avella Apartment Homes | 2.0 mi | $2,645 | 1 to 3 bedroom |
The Park’s $2,425 studio floor undercuts all three listed alternatives by at least $220 a month at the entry price point. A fourth Irvine Company community half a mile further out, The Village at Irvine Spectrum, starts at $2,375 on the landlord’s site, so a renter chasing the lowest possible Irvine Company rent in this pocket of the city has one cheaper option to check before committing here.
Are the “percent below market” figures some listing sites show reliable? Only when a source names its comparison set. ApartmentFinder’s 11% to 14% claim doesn’t, so the direct rent-to-rent table above is the safer comparison.
Who This Property Fits
The pricing suits a renter targeting the low end of Irvine Spectrum studio and one-bedroom rents, with household income near or above $97,000 for the cheapest available unit. A renter who needs fast maintenance turnaround as a hard requirement should weigh that against the complaint pattern documented above before booking a tour, since neither this page nor the property’s own materials can override what hundreds of residents have independently reported.
