If i could give this place negative stars i very much would. The price they charge for apartments that aren't worth it, is insanity. The floors were uneven (a giant hill in the middle of the living space) the walls weren't straight which was super weird but also made it impossible to hang anything level. The maintenance crew was subpar at best. They had the same guy check out spare bathroom toilet 3 different times after the problem wasn't fixed, there was exposed wire in the extra bedroom and the front closet that we notified them about upon move in, that they didn't fix. They charge $50 for an outside space that you had to tow people out of when they weren't supposed to be there. Which lead to my vehicle being vandalized. The staff didn't communicate with each other let alone the tenants. I would have to call or physically go into the office to get things cleared up or elaborated on. We were charged $3110 for a 2 bed 2 bath with no AC and heat that didn't work. We constantly were told not to use the kitchen sink because the units below up were experiencing backups, which turned out to be rice clogging up the pipes, and i didn't cook rice. We had our water turned off as a community a lot, and they never told us when the water was turned back on. There was always homeless and drugged out people in the building(because it offers no privacy or security, the pool was never clean, the hallways smelt of marijuana so badly you could get a contact high. I know with the location being so close to SDSU it might seem like a decent option, It's not. 10/10 save your money and find somewhere better.

Horrible communication. Lesley in the leasing office responded to emails very unprofessionally and always had an attitude. Notices constantly left on door telling you that people will be entering your apartment in less than 24 hours without your consent. Maintenance coming by to fix who knows what at LEAST once a week, and most of the time not knowing what they’re “fixing”. Couldn’t even enjoy my days off of work because of the constant maintenance, yet somehow nothing is ever fixed. Water shut off several times a month. No AC. Homeless people sleeping in the hallways. Dumpsters always overflowing and trash everywhere. Getting our deposit was an insanely huge process and they took almost $2k off our deposit for issues that we didn’t cause. Good luck here.
