I have lived here in this very apartment. There are residents that have lived here twice as long as that. When I moved to IC, it was from a very bad neighborhood in Vista. Having grown up in North County my entire life in a middle income type neighborhood, I know the difference between a good area and bad (Foothill Apartments, Vista). This in my opinion, is quality and it has become my home.

As it stands right now we have Jill here as the property manager (with Arcelia and Maribel in the administrative office) and Jorge as maintenance supervisor ( with Pedro, Alex, Jay, Fernando, Elvia, Jose and Karina - maintenance workers) and I could not be more pleased. When I call with a situation whether something to do with the office or maintenance, it is handled promptly and they are courteous to me, resolving the issue in an effective timely manner. When first I resided here I wasnt a perfect resident myself - noise. The office treated me correctly in those situations and I felt fairly. Comply or go. I complied!

This is my experience only and I will probably be here another 10 years because it works for me and its that good here. To me its an attractive large complex, the apartments are great and we're right across the street from the Sprinter! My numbers that I graded it with - say it all. The only 2 drawbacks are: Open parking can be a bit short in the evening and especially on the weekends and people need to pick up after their dogs. Thats it! :)

P.S. I have tried to read reviews/responses on here but I was a bit dismayed at the name calling of fellow posters and workers! Im not trying to take away from others experiences or their right to post it but my interactions with the aforementioned employees has always been professional, never unethical. My email address is posted so feel free to contact me.

Update: February 11, 2009 I will be here another year (signed my lease a couple hours ago) making that 12. In fact, THERESA was a total sweetheart to me when I went to sign a new lease. Also, Aimco does listen...look at our NEW FABULOUS STATE-OF-THE-ART GYM! Well worth the wait. Its perfect for everybody!

Who knows the entire maintenance team, right down to the house keeper. My guess... Maribel wrote this. Could be wrong, but that seems close. Although, second thought, Arcelia?? Is that you?

Everyone has different standards of living; if you feel Island Club is so fabulous I regretfully inform you that your standards are below that of compost. I lived in Island Club for a year after hastily moving in upon my arrival to Oceanside and needing a place to stay. I grew up in Section 8 housing in Brooklyn NY; IC is a step up from that, which is still poor. I find it so amusing how the IC office staff comes on here to advertise there substandard community, but I cannot blame them, if I were paid to shovel feces, then thats exactly what I would do. As for luckicharmz4ever, you can masquerade on this online community with your ever so eloquent grammar, but when it comes down to it if you have lived at IC for ten years, thats ten years of mortgage payments you could be making and building equity, instead of lining someone elses pockets; yet again everyone has different standards of living.

Dear JCBerb, Im disabled (wheelchair) and therefore it is my choice to live in a community that sees to my maintenance needs without the costs of repairs falling upon my shoulders and the bother of having to handle such affairs. I c by your "ever so eloquent grammar" that you too use tinged with bitterness? Sour grapes I say and how juvenile to go thru postings of others that may display a positive undertone to try to bring them down to your level. Is this not a site to post ones experiences with our living quarters? This is not a personal site for attacks, especially on someone who is disabled and choses to live in an apartment for the convenience versus the headaches of homeownership. Shame shame. How small minded masqueraded by your "ever so eloquent" grammar. If you truly indeed grew up in Brooklyn NY in Section 8 then you should know kwduffy (neighbors?), hence you would know IC is miles above that. Sincerely, I wish you a good day and hope that you are "building equity, instead of lining someone elses pockets" so that you are not here, tainting what is an otherwise awesome community!
