Current pricing by floor plan
Prices move by unit and move-in date, so treat this as a range, not a quote. Every figure below is a live snapshot from Apartments.com’s Villa Siena listing, checked July 11, 2026.
| Bedroom type | Price range | Sq ft range | Example plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | $2,695 to $3,750 | 577 | Plan A |
| 1 bedroom | $2,615 to $4,635 | 554 to 956 | Plans C through L |
| 2 bedroom | $3,415 to $5,830 | 1,020 to 1,291 | Plans M through U |
| 3 bedroom | Call for rent | 1,214 to 1,284 | Plans W, X |
Unit 437, a 554 sq ft one-bedroom on Plan C, was listed at $2,615 on July 11, 2026, the lowest live price in the community that day. Three-bedroom pricing isn’t published; both 3BR plans are marked “Call for Rent,” so budget for it by asking directly instead of trusting a third-party estimate.
What’s included, and what costs extra
None of the marketplace listings for this property compute a true move-in total; they publish the base rent line and leave the fee schedule in a paragraph most readers skip. Fee figures are from the same Apartments.com listing above.
| Unit type | Base rent (low end) | Application fee | Deposit | Est. cash due at move-in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | $2,695 | $45 | $600 | $3,340 |
| 1 bedroom | $2,615 | $45 | $600 | $3,260 |
| 2 bedroom | $3,415 | $45 | $700 | $4,160 |
| 3 bedroom | Unpublished | $45 | $800 | Unknown until quoted |
That total excludes the $5.55 monthly utility billing fee and actual utility usage, both recurring, plus any pet fees.
What’s the real move-in cost beyond the listed rent?For the cheapest available 1BR, plan on roughly $3,260 due at signing: first month’s rent, the $45 application fee, and a $600 deposit. Add $5.55 a month for utility billing on top of usage.
Amenities that differentiate this property
Four pools and six spas, a three-story fitness center, and sub-subterranean gated parking separate Villa Siena from a standard IBC mid-rise, most of which offer one pool and a single-floor gym. Electric vehicle chargers and an iLounge business center round out the short list worth touring for, instead of the full 30-item amenity sheet every listing repeats.
Irvine Business Complex, in short
Villa Siena sits inside IBC, between downtown Irvine and the 55 freeway. Jamboree Promenade is a 3-minute walk, and John Wayne Airport is 3.8 miles, a 5-minute drive.
What the reviews show
Apartments.com’s 15-review sample rates the property 2.9 out of 5, but the raw average hides the shape of the data: six 5-star reviews, one 4-star, zero 3-star, one 2-star, and seven 1-star. That’s a split community, not a mediocre one; residents mostly love it or mostly don’t, with almost nobody landing in the middle.
The noise question
Asked directly on Yelp whether the walls are thin, a resident answered that the walls are paper thin and every sound from upstairs comes through. That account lines up with a structural signal, not just an opinion: the Soundscore rates the property 68 out of 100, “Active,” with traffic and airport noise both flagged busy. HowLoud’s methodology combines vehicle, air, and local noise sources into that number. Villa Siena’s management, in a separate Yelp response, points to posted community quiet hours instead of any construction change. Between the score, the quote, and the seven 1-star reviews sitting alongside six 5-star ones, sound transfer reads as a real, recurring property characteristic.
Is the noise complaint about thin walls still accurate?Yes, based on the most recent data available: the Soundscore (68/100, “Active”) and the Yelp resident account both point the same direction, and the quiet-hours policy management points to suggests this is treated as an ongoing issue, not a one-time event.
How Villa Siena compares to nearby communities
$/sq ft is computed from each community’s smallest published one-bedroom plan, sourced to Park West’s Apartments.com listing and ApartmentGuide’s Park West floor plan detail.
| Community | Distance | Price range | Approx. $/sq ft (smallest 1BR) | Notable gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Villa Siena | – | $2,615 to $5,830 | $4.72 (554 sq ft, $2,615) | Highest per-sq-ft price of the three |
| Park West | 1.3 mi | $2,450 to $4,065 | $3.05 (795 sq ft, $2,425) | Built 1971, no gated sub-subterranean parking |
| Avella | 5.8 mi | $2,645 to $6,505 | Not published | Farther from IBC core, newer build |
At $4.72 a square foot for its smallest available unit against Park West’s $3.05, Villa Siena charges a real premium for its four pools, six spas, and gated parking, not just for the IBC address.
How does Villa Siena compare to Park West on price?Villa Siena’s smallest 1BR runs about $4.72 per square foot versus roughly $3.05 at Park West, a 1.3-mile walk away. The gap tracks the newer 1995 build and resort-style amenities, not just location.
Who this fits, and who should look elsewhere
- Renters who prioritize amenities over quiet: four pools, six spas, and a three-story gym justify the premium if noise tolerance is high.
- Two-income households near John Wayne Airport or UC Irvine: the 3.8-mile airport distance and 3.4-mile UC Irvine distance suit that commute pattern.
- Light sleepers, all-day remote callers, or anyone below an occupied unit: the Soundscore and resident account both point away from this property, regardless of amenities.
- Budget-conscious renters wanting more square footage per dollar: Park West, 1.3 miles away, delivers roughly 35% lower cost per square foot on a comparable one-bedroom.
Who does Villa Siena suit best?Renters who weight amenities and a 1995-era finish level heavily, and who aren’t sensitive to interior noise, get the most value here. Anyone prioritizing quiet or price per square foot should tour Park West first.
Pet policy and fees
| Pet type | Max per unit | Deposit | Monthly fee | Restrictions |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Dogs | 2 | $750 | $75 | Breed-restricted: pit bulls, American Staffordshire terriers, American bulldogs, Rottweilers, Doberman pinschers, wolf-hybrids, and Perro de Presa Canarios, or any dog with that lineage |
Is Villa Siena pet-friendly for large or restricted-breed dogs?For most dogs, yes, with a $750 deposit and $75 monthly fee. For the seven listed breeds and their mixes, no exceptions apply regardless of the individual animal’s temperament.
Touring and applying

Applications go through Apartments.com or the Irvine Company’s leasing portal, with credit approval and a satisfactory rental history required before a lease is issued.
