Reviews summary

Lyric offers a prime location in downtown Walnut Creek with convenient access to amenities and attractions. Most residents commend the responsive maintenance team and helpful staff. The property features a variety of amenities such as a fitness center, parking garage, and controlled access, which are attractive to different renter types, including professionals and families. Additional highlights include pet-friendly policies and modern appliances. However, some residents have noted persistent issues related to infrastructure quality, including frequent fire alarm disruptions and elevator repairs. Noise can be a concern in certain units, especially those facing Locust Street due to nearby bars and early gym classes. While recent reviews have mentioned the maintenance team’s effectiveness, past reviews raised concerns about recurring floods affecting the property. Overall, Lyric is appreciated for its location and amenities, but potential renters should weigh recurring maintenance and noise issues.
