Overpriced, poorly managed

In general, a very nice building with nice amenities. It is one of the only places where there is no stacked parking, but the place is not maintained well. The downsides are that the place frequently smells like garbage, the elevators are slow and often do not work properly. And worse, this place is home to a lot of spoiled kids that do nothing but party. The building is always noisy Thursday through Saturday (and sometimes during the "school week" as well; it's like a frat house at times. You can hear every footstep from above you and every belch from next door. On the weekends people vomit, litter the place with beer cans and the management turns a blind eye each time the police roll up. If the hall doesn't smell like garbage, it smells like pot from the various units in which pot is allowed.

In our unit, the cabinets are falling apart and there is a leak dripping onto our carpet from the ceiling. The front office staff had no idea how to help us and told us that they would send a plumber to our unit but that was a few weeks ago. Our landlord took care of it quickly but told us to go through the front office first. Our unit is very clean, but we cannot manage the ant problem. Everytime we plug something into the wall we take our lives into our hands as the outlet sparks a bright blue flash with a loud pop.

All in all, there are some great things like the gym, billiards room, pool, but I am glad I am moving out. Living there was a real disappointment. The building is falling apart due to poor management and for the price we expected a lot better. Next year we will be living in a building that is half the price, but seems much better maintained, clean, and the place has rules. ClubCA is a great place if you like to have fun though.

I rent out multiple units to medical students over the last 2-3 years and have asked my rentals on the noise and management issues and have not had a negative comment. All 3 renters have renew their leases over the last 2-3 years. There is also a new association Board in place who will put more time and effort into improving the maintenance and management of the place. Any problem that does exist should get better.
