I am so glad we moved out. The neighbors we had above us were unemployed crank users. Up alllllllllll night, vacuuming and reorganizing the bedroom closet above our heads. Management speaks candidly about the fact that everybody in the building has complained about these people and several apartments have emptied out because of them. We know that they received at least 8 warning letters threatening eviction stemming from numerous complaints we placed alone. Obviously letters from management don't mean ---- --- remember that if you do live there. There's absolutely no need to fear them or their threats. In fact, all that paperwork they force you to sign when you move in is useless. You'll get used to seeing SJPD and Bayside Courtesy patrol hanging out, not that it helps, but they're there. It's that bad!
The fitness center is a JOKE. Just two treadmills and a broken weight machine. The pools are freezing, don't let them tell you that they are heated, they're not.
Another thing that bothered me personally, a lot of guys work on their cars. I regularly saw a lot of beater cars up on blocks and half hanging out of open garages. There's a guy with an old piece of ---- corvette who leaves it blocking the parking lot with car parts and assorted pieces littering the ground. Overall, it's just not real attractive.
Another issue, they're not really "pet-friendly". Pets are only allowed in a couple buildings in the back of the complex. And those buildings are loud! The buildings by the back pool (30 and 40') have a ton of little yappy dogs. I got bit by a little black scotty dog that charged my leg in the dark when I was walking down the sidewalk. I love dogs and have dogs, but dogs should not be left to bark out on patios all day/night. If you have a dog, your best bet is Avalon. They allow all dogs, except ones with aggressive temperments. And that's fine with me, Archstone has way too many young Mexican and Black men strutting around with Pitbulls.
And the noise...oh my God! If you have kids -- please move to the first floor. If you are quiet and like quiet, don't move here. If you move here, INSIST on the third floor. Then get rid of all of your furniture because you'll never get it up those ridiculous stairs. The stairs are about 20" wide and have a series of 180 degree turns. Good luck with a couch and tv. aLKeoXpj3s4OSgrp1trb
