Constant noise, horrible manager

I really regret moving in to The Franciscan. The noise is constant. You will hear your neighbors at all hours and there is always some type of constuction/repairs going on, whether it be within the community or on Hamilton Ave. This is especially not the place to live if you work from home or work different hours than 9-5. Daytime noise is very high.

The manager is awful. I have worked in the property management field before and never would treat people the way that she does. She talks down to people and does not address complaints properly. I made a very valid complaint to her about my apartment and it has not been resolved, nor does she seem to care that the problem exists. If I have any small issues with the apartment, I try and fix them myself just so I don't have to deal with her and her rude attitude. The apartments and fixtures are old and outdated, and like others have mentioned there is a huge amount of vandalism/theft (have been a victim myself). Overall, this place has way more negatives than positives. I am moving as soon as I can.

I agree with this... and agree with the managers attitude. If you train yourself to live with it... great. But paying the comparable rates (compared to other nice ones)... why should you have to deal with a badly behaved Manager. Professionalism is necessary... though it does not seem the owners think that way! Their loss!

The noise is bad but some of us have hounded the police and then also the Campbell Code Enforcement Office. The City of Campbell Public Works Department has received and addressed concerns regarding noise from Hamilton highway construction. They try to keep it at a minimum but must do work late night when there are the least cars on the road.

The Elephant Bar Restaurant on 499 E Hamilton Ave has been the main culprit of noise. With the Campbell Code Enforcement Office sending them warnings since July 07 they have tried to keep noise down to a minimum.

With fairly new management, they have tried to be cooperative which wasn't the case for 9 straight months when calls and letters were made repeatedly to them, Campbell Police and Campbell Code Enforcement.

For noise, if you are a light sleeper or have trouble falling asleep, I'd recommend against the apts on the south end that face Elephant Bar directly. The walls are very thin as others have noted.

On the bright side, the main maintenance guy Giovanni is very nice and responsive so things will get fixed quickly. The manager has her moments and you just need to work on her good side.
