I lived at Shadowbrook Apartments from 1998 to 2001. I had a second floor junior one bedroom apartment that initially rented for $1120. By the time I moved out the rent had gone through the roof and I was paying $1700 for a measly 500 square feet. I tried to compete for laundry machines, but found that it was much easier just to pack up the laundry and head for the laundry mat on Bernardo near Safeway. As other reviews have mentioned, there are endless repairs taking place all the time at Shadowbrook. It is very common to come home and find yet another notice on your door that the water will be shut off or the parking lot will be repaired. Once when the water was turned off, I had to spend two nights in a motel, although the management did pay $150 ($75 per night) for the motel cost. The maintenance crew repaired the stairs going up to my apartment in which the stairs and walkway were completely removed. This repair work also forced me to find somewhere else to stay until they were finished. Yeah, maybe Shadowbrook offers nice landscaping, but that's as far as it goes. The problem is that the Silicon Valley is so overcrowded that you live your life competing for space. (Possibly, the numerous immigrants don't see it this way.) I left the Silicon Valley and moved to Colorado where you don't have to compete for space and one bedroom apartments are plentiful with reasonable montly rent ($500 - $800).
