We have lived at La Privada for awhile, and have always been quite happy to reside here. Until recently that is. While no one will come right out and say it, the general consensus is that the apartments are being converted to condominiums. There has been an inordane ammount of work done over this past year, and the buzz about it is that they are upgrading for conversion and individual sale. We have also had this "confirmed" by a person paid to do some work on the property, but when we have asked in the office... crickets chirp. We have been in twice, once each to ask Scott and Steve(the only remaining staff members from when we moved in)about it, and both times told directly that we are NOT being condo converted. Now I like both of these gentlemen, but it seems that the evidence as well as the "confirmation" that we got points to the fact that they are lying. I hate lyers, and wish that they would just tell us what is going on so we could plan for it. When do we have to move or buy' Be wary when looking to move in, you might not have a place to live very long!

My sister lived in an apartment complex that was converted into condos, and the staff there also didn't admit to that fact until later. The thing to remember is, that staff now works for the new owners, and they are directed not to say anything. Their jobs are on the line if they do say anything, so it might be a little unfair to call them liars. They probably don't have any choice. Anyway, while incovenvient if you really only want a place to rent, having your apartment turned into a condo can be a good thing too. My sister got a chance to buy in her complex, and got some great deals! Just pointing out some positives amid all this negativity....
