Watergate Condominiums: Watergate Management and Security (Not Recommending)

2008-07-02T16:28:12-06:00

From sterling.sample@hotmail.com: Watergate suffers from a terribly corrupt administration. The utter lack of security at Watergate in Emeryville is just the tip of the iceberg. The Watergate administration is run by a former Longshoreman who cares little for the needs of his "Community". Auto burglaries, car theft and vandalism runs rampant through ...

Watergate Condominiums: WaterGate (Not Recommending)

2008-02-06T12:10:24-06:00

From WGRJ: Looks nice from the outside... however, the hallways look like a run down hotel and the doors are paper-thin. The units are horribly ventilated and the only saving grace is the GYM.Security is a joke. My car was broken into, right next to the elevator... it wasn't a quick break ...

Watergate Condominiums: great but worried about deposit (Recommending!)

2007-03-20T12:29:34-06:00

From ahmemon: great, they will always fix taht which needs fixing right away (such as plumbing problems). However, for anything else less, like a railing thing that's falling apart in my apt, they still haven't fixed that.

My only complaint is that the building has very thin ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-10-22T00:55:36-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here since 2001. I have not rented from the watergate sale co...which seems to be a horrible experience. I rented from a greedy landlady and her overly obese husband.

2005-05-25T17:36:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: First the good: Facilities and grounds are very well maintained. Very litle noise.
The complex dates back to the 70's, so kitchens and bathrooms are a little on the small side. All units come with a separate storage locker, free parking, free cable, and free use of the gym, 4 ... [click to read full apartment review]

2004-06-08T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Beware of management here. They are extremely nice to you when they know you are interested. If you give them an inkling that you want to leave, be prepared for ignored phone calls, huge fees and the disappearing of your security deposit.

From shitfuckshit: overall decent place. mgmt has STOLEN my security deposit.

2003-04-17T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My only real beef with Watergate is that nobody around here ever moves their cars.

From -Anonymous-: I really like living here. It´s close to the freeways, all the Emeryville shops, yet far away so you don´t feel squished like Berkeley.

From -Anonymous-: I only lived here six months, and it convinced me that condo living is not for me.

On the up side, it´s a good location if you need to commute into the City or Oakland. As a rule, it´s a pretty safe place to live.
