Archstone Willow Glen

huge disappointment. From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 11/13/2004 Years at this apartment: 2005 - 2005   i hate to vent, but its therapeutic. 1) NOISE LEVEL OUTRAGEOUS. apparently south san jose has plenty of macho men with big, unnecessarily loud cars - perhaps overcompensating for small genitals. i'm surprised i haven't heard any gunfire over the competition. 2) GARBAGE. there is a thrown out couch, big tv, and other garbage just laying on the landscape near the back parking - its been there for months! 3) URINE & FECES. that's right - the pets here leave their mark wherever they please, and you can see and smell it - especially when it rains or when there's a gentle breeze. 4) SECURITY. the "security" gates are ultimately inconviences, poorly designed. they don't open/close according to entrance/exit, and they take forever to open/close. in fact, a driver recently "tapped" the edge of the gate (according to the car's damage) and the gate ultimately tore itself onto the ground. yay, no gate! 5) KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF. don't ask them about a fractional T1 for these "prewired" apartments - all you'll get is a blank stare and a handwritten phone number to an ISP. now if i asked about two tin cans and a string... i could go on and on (like during chinese new years, when firecrackers were consistently going off like machine guns in the AM hours), but i think you get the point. i just hope no one who lives here will shoot me for my attentive assessment. to redeem myself, here are some positive attributes: FANCY RIMS: yes, the cars may be crap, but you can count on fancy rims. SMELLY EXHAUST: nothing like poison emitting from barely functioning automobiles to make you appreciate life and clean air. HUMAN TRASH: no snooty people here to make you feel like crap. no sir. FRIENDLY AREA: south san jose is quite an experience. the drivers are very friendly - as long as they don't find you threatening in any way (i.e., via eye contact, passing them, or doing anything that they can interpret as you thinking they are inferior in some way). HARD WORKERS: no shortage of manual laborers here - in fact, there are plenty waiting around the corner at the grocery stores. one big happy family (literally!). APPROPRIATELY FAMILIAR SERVICES: every plaza is almost identical - from including some sort of dental office to an ethnic nail/hair shop. that's right, see for yourself. oh, did i mention there's a popeyes around the corner' yum! there is a resident here who drives a silver camero that is very loud - he lets the entire complex know when he is leaving and when he has entered the complex. then, he has to make sure his alarm is set just right. in fact, i adjust my schedule to his so i'm not inconvienced by his small genitals, hence overcompensations. sold on this complex yet' how about south san jose' animal feces' i should do marketing for archstone willow glen... peace-out. *dropz mic* oh, the only positive reviews either seem to have the rhetorical stamp of management here, or these happy residents previously lived in a dirt cave with flesh eating ants, are deaf (not DEF, yo), and have no sense of smell. if so, then yes - this place is quite impressive.
