Hillsborough Plaza Apartments: So Far So Good! (Recommending!)

2009-06-26T17:54:21-06:00

From dweekly: Me and two friends moved in a month ago and have been enjoying it quite a bit. The concrete walls are truly impressive - despite being half a block from CalTrain/downtown and in a fairly large apartment building, it's superbly quiet inside. The apartment is large (1900sf) and nicely divided ... [click to read full apartment review]

Hillsborough Plaza Apartments: We made a bad choice, but you don't have to! (Not Recommending)

2009-06-25T18:48:09-06:00

From waterpark: We've signed one-year lease and there's no way we are going to renew it. For two reasons: 1. Poor customer service. Mary, the residence manager is cold, snobby and irresponsible. She often ignores the issues you report about your apt, and it's a waste of time to make any complains ... [click to read full apartment review]

We were shown a very nice apartment and were charged a non-refundable application fee and a refundable deposit. They didn't even call us to tell us we were approved, ...

From PeggyPayne: My husband and I moved into the building in October of 2002, and just recently left (August 2007).On the positive side, the building has professional "by the book" management on site.

From -Anonymous-: Despite the lovely apartment, we´re moving out because it´s just too expensive.

With parking and everything, it´s $2200 for a 2-bedroom apartment!
