Resident 2002

8/27/2002

Moved in this past June after seeing other positive reviews and am thrilled we did! Our 1 bedroom is well laid out, tons of storage space in the kitchen, reasonable bedroom size with decent closet space, nice bathroom with spacious vanity, deep tub and good water pressure, large deck, either well-maintained or new appliances and generally a solid, clean feel. <br>We have an upstairs end unit facing the lot (not the pool) and it is very quiet. Only downside to being upstairs is that it can get hot during the day, so I´d advise a powerful fan to circulate air (works well for us). Common pool area is quite nice though I´ve only used it once. Very impressed with the laundry - it takes credit cards! <br><br>I telecommute so connectivity is a must. The complex is too far away from the Central Office (CO) for DSL, but AT&T Broadband Internet screams along at 1.5MB/s down and 256kB/s up. No problems in terms of the connection dropping or highly variable speeds either - AT&T seems to be getting it together. Power outlets are all two prong (we bought adapters) but I think the circuits are grounded centrally (not 100% sure though). Power is very reliable in any case. <br><br>Location is great especially if you commute on the 280 - literally 2 minutes and you´re on it. The PW market is only a few blocks away and has better produce (in my opinion) than the Safeway another 6 or 7 blocks down Homestead Rd. Fortunately the street parking is manageable for those with an extra car (the first car will get an assigned space). No gym facilities onsite that I know of, but I rollerblade to the 24hr Fitness on Fremont as it´s very close by. <br><br>A HUGE plus is that the management (Terri and Paul) is great to deal with and very responsive. Not sure what the official office hours are, but Paul/Terri seem to be readily available. I can´t comment on rent increases as we´ve only been here a short while. <br><br>Highly recommended!
