San Marin Suites & Apartments: Security Deposit Alert (Not Recommending)

2008-06-24T21:38:38-06:00

From -Anonymous-: In my opinion San Marin management has some questionable practices regarding security deposits. If you're the person who is responsible for the security deposit (as an individual or as a guarantor) don't say you haven't been warned. In some cases when people leave, San Marin is installing all new carpet ... [click to read full apartment review]

San Marin Suites & Apartments: (Not Recommending)

2006-01-29T14:20:45-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I decided not to renew my lease. Parking is a big problem since the extra guest spaces fill up by 8pm on the weekends (especially during the summer months).

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in the complex for a year, and I liked living there.

From -Anonymous-: Management at San Marin is terrible. What has been said in previous reviews about towing is true. Let me explain San Marin's game plan for controlling parking at the complex.

2004-09-16T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: When living in an apartment you can't set your standards too high. You are living within close proximity to every other resident. If you don't want the noise, buy a house, or rent in Sun City where the residents barely move.
