From jdwyer33@yahoo.com: I moved into the Courtyards in May and had little to no problems so far. The rents are high, but my loft is worth it. My only problem has been with the parking.

2008-06-12T00:51:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is all smoke and mirrors - It might look pretty when you've spent a day looking at dumps but be warned. I signed a 14 month lease and spent the next 13 1/2 months regreting it and yearning to get out. I moved out the very day the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Courtyards at 65th: Life made slightly complicated. (Recommending!)

2007-12-29T19:03:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This building is newer but they have a problem with rodents. The staff is rude and not helpful at all.

2007-06-06T00:29:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I looked around Emeryville for about 3 weeks before picking an apartment. It came down to Bridgecourt, Pacific Plaza, and Courtyards.

2006-10-09T18:18:44-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The keyless remotes have not worked in over a week (both a security and safety hazard). The TV's from the gym were stolen and have never been replaced (only the exposed wiring still rests in their spots, very ghetto in appearance. With what rent goes for here, you would think ...

Courtyards at 65th: Staff is useless. Expensive for what you get. TRAINS! (Not Recommending)

2006-09-05T21:58:32-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Sure, an occasional train isn't a problem, but trains blaring horns all night EVERY NIGHT is brutal, especially without A/C on a hot summer night. It's like they play dueling banjos with the train horns. I lived on the far side (Hollis St.) and would wake up every night.

The front ... [click to read full apartment review]

From ebrenter: I could author a book about this place- even more appropriately I could write a blues song. Here is some material for the first few verses:

1) Train Station at 65th St. That may end up being the name of the song. I am a heavy sleeper and the trains don't ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-07-07T00:04:44-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The worst part is that the management is very intrusive. They conduct yearly "inspections" (it is to check the appliances and to spy on you to see if you have any extra room mates or pets not listed on the lease.

2006-05-25T17:27:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The sign out front "Luxury Apartments" - ought to read, "Overpriced Ghetto Tenements"
Horrible security, or lack thereof. Noise of train horns on the same block is absolutely insane and unbearable. What greed-driven developer would think to put a complex by the industrial (Union Pacific) and Amtrak tracks, without ever mentioning ... [click to read full apartment review]

Courtyards at 65th: Meh (Not Recommending)

2006-01-07T00:21:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: One-word summary from someone who recently moved out: meh. The initial positive impression I got as a prospective tenant wore out a few months after signing my lease.
