    It has been a great experience so far living at Lyric. The staff are wonderful and extremely helpful and the apartment is in a prime location, minutes away from all the downtown Walnut Creek amenities.

    Great location parking and responsive maintenance. Very premium in price and they charge for cleaning from your security deposit to sanitize , even though no other apartment I have rented has charged this. Very disappointing to have spent so many days cleaning and still be charged hundreds for cleaning. Be ready to sacrifice your security deposit no matter how clean you clean your place

    Been living here for more than 3 years. Excellent staff especially Raushania. She is awesome!! Maintenance is very good. Updated laundry rooms. Safety is an issue, no cameras. Smoking close to the building, people ignore the signs..
