2009-08-28T15:17:19-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I don't know why some people are giving good reviews for this place, so for the first time I decided to write a review to clarify some of the confusion you might have about this place. Trust me, I was as confused as you were when I chose to live ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Nice, clean, convenient other reviews unfair (Recommending!)

2008-11-05T12:20:19-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I recently relocated to California from Virginia and I researched apartments and had the chance to visit a few. I have previously lived in apartments in Virginia, so I can say I am a experienced apartment dweller. I chose Villa del Sol for the location, the available apartment and the ...

Alexan Villa Del Sol: The other reviews are very PICKY and UNFAIR! (Recommending!)

2008-08-04T11:50:38-06:00

From gabiscott: I have lived in this apartment complex for 1 1/2 years now so I have "lived" through the so-called outrageous rent hikes that others have commented about. Our rent went up $50, BIG WHOOP! The whole economy is going to hell, so what do you expect? If we were to ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: HELL NO! (Not Recommending)

2008-06-12T19:26:38-06:00

From stanfordgrad: Rent is waaay too high! Not justified. Management is the worst I have ever encountered, RUDE and the office is never open, the phone rings and rings, voice mail full. Manager is renting too many people who cannot afford the rent this is a BMR apartment and it is obvious ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Not Worth the $ (Not Recommending)

2008-01-07T23:26:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived at the Alexan for a few years, and I saw new ownership, new managers, etc. come and go. The complex is in a good location--close to transportation, downtown Sunnyvale, and the soon-to-be downtown plaza.While I patiently waited in anticipation for the new upgrades to occur, I made the ...

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Some good and some bad (Not Recommending)

2007-12-07T15:03:48-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The short review is not worth the money spent. If rent was lowered about 300 to 400 dollars it would be worth it.The negative: Ghetto describes the environment.Shopping carts constantly left behindTrash in the walkwayResidents I know can not afford the rent (Section 8)Gross illusion of security (no key needed ...

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Complete turn around for the better... (Recommending!)

2007-11-19T15:36:11-06:00

From 2005-2007: The complex has made a complete turn for the better. I think with the new plaza being built they figured they had to kick it up a notch and finally spend some $ on the community. They just finished up an entire community paint job which looks absolutly awsome also ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Great location... Terrible management (Not Recommending)

2007-10-09T22:43:02-06:00

From justmoved2CA: I lived here for two years, recently moved. I have to say that the management changed for the absolute worse. The manager, Liz, is running the place to the ghetto. The walkways to the apartments on all floors have stains and marks all over never cleaned while I was there. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Good apartment with caveats (Recommending!)

2007-01-15T02:10:38-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for about 8 months, and I must say that this is one of the best apartments I have ever been in. The reserved parking is very secure(gated garage) and the building is very solid. Despite being 20 feet away from the train tracks this is a ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Great location, not so great service (Not Recommending)

2006-10-17T18:59:44-06:00

From filein@yahoo.com: This place really blows...used to be awesome. They will treat you great when you first move in and then, just dont expect your monthly rent to take you too far. Perhaps you are better off renting at better places such as Cherry Orchard or the Avalon's. Why pay more for ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Don't Believe Everything You Read (Recommending!)

2006-05-13T03:57:55-06:00

From mcharles54: Im sad to see that people are only compelled to write an opinion when it's negative. I moved here from out of state and April was the biggest help with acclimating to a new community and town.

I don't feel like I'm living in an apartment complex. The office staff always ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: AS BAD AS IT GETS (Not Recommending)

2006-05-12T14:56:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in a place for over 2 years and seriously considering to look elsewher. I like the location and appartment layout, but service is horrible. You have to wait for up to a week to get a simple 5 min. repair done. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: THE BEST COMPLEX! (Recommending!)

2006-03-09T15:54:53-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I REALLY LOVE THE MANAGEMENT HERE AND THE PROPERTY I JUST MOVED HERE AND I AM OVERWHELMED WITH THE PLACE I CHOSE TO LIVE. I FELT WELCOMED AND AT HOME FROM THE FIRST TIME I CAME IN. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO EVERYONE, EVEN THOUGH PRICES ARE A LITTLE ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Management Changed for the Worse, Love the location (Recommending!)

2006-02-20T14:46:24-06:00

From PaulinaP: When we moved in the building was very well kept, then we got a letter notifying us of the management change and from there I feel I am paying for a 1st class service and getting 3rd class.

The swimming pool bathrooms are disgusting, the elevator is always dirty, the water ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Dont rent here - save your money and go elsewhere (Not Recommending)

2005-10-27T00:30:55-06:00

From forhotladies@yahoo.com: Most of the reviews are fairly accurate. The train can be disturbing, but you get used to it and it wont bother you.

The garage doors break often and you are bound to be stranded inside especially when you are in a hurry. There is only one gate for each parking ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-03-19T19:00:25-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Me and my wife have been here for about 4 months now. Most of the stuff these people are talking about I have never seen or heard of before. Never saw the elevator broken, never saw the garage door broken. Never saw ants.

Some things i have expierienced...We live on ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Do not live here (Not Recommending)

2005-02-17T00:34:48-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'll start by saying: Do yourself a favor and do NOT rent an apartment here. It looks beautiful and upscale, Burbur carpet, hardwood kitchen floor, etc., but it is cheap construction. In my 18 months here, the elevators were out of service 50% of the time. The hot tub was ...

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Unresponsive and uncaring management! (Not Recommending)

2005-02-16T15:25:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Just moved out of there after occupying a 2-bedroom aptmt. for 18 months with my wife. While the apartments look nice inside (we lived on the street side, not the Caltrain side), I had major quibbles with the management there.

I had personal property removed from my parking lot by them ... [click to read full apartment review]

2004-10-24T17:10:32-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This complex cannot and does not take care of tenets or their staff..

Stand in line to get things fixed .. or wait until they are able to hire a maintenance person that will be able to stand working for them.. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Bad Experience (Not Recommending)

2004-06-20T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The management will plow over you as if it is autopilot. I find ATM's to be more human
than the robots in the office. It may not be their fault because Trammell Crow Residential uses a management by deferral
process which leaves very little room for creativity or initiative on the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Trammel Crow Residential=No Service (Not Recommending)

2004-06-19T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This was not my first awareness of how TCRS
conducts business. I had been warned not to
have anything to do with them but I thought
it was just individuals who had some disagreement with their management office and ignored the warnings.

I found out later that not only were these warnings valid but ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: They almost suckered me in... (Not Recommending)

2004-04-22T00:00:00-06:00

From guralscout: The apartments look forgeous inside and out, which is what appealed to us. We took the tour and fell in love with the apartment and subsequently put a deposit down. While on our tour the leasing agent Nadia lied to us about multiple things. We were told the following which ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: This company doesn´t have a clue!! (Not Recommending)

2004-04-20T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for a few months only and would not recommend it to anyone! Not because of the apartments, they are actually quite nice! The company "Trammell Crow" which owns and manages this community are in the dark as to what really goes on with the management staff here. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Another one bites the dust... (Not Recommending)

2004-01-06T00:00:00-06:00

From Mr.Pink: Someone else beat me to a review today, so I will touch base on what him or her left out. I too have been living at Alexan for nine months, and have been disappointed time and time again.

It is no lie ﾖ fumes come from both the trains and the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Not impressed (Not Recommending)

2004-01-06T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived at Alexan for nine months. While I agree with many of the other residents about the train noise, I acknowledge that I knew the train tracks were located very close to the complex and that they would most likely create noise and vibration. However, the leasing agent ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Train noise a big problem (Recommending!)

2003-10-16T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We have lived here since our unit was built, initially we had to clean the builders dust and dirt etc, since then the Caltrain noise has gotten bejond a joke, they seem to start at 5am on the weekends and, it resembles daylight in your apt all night due to ...

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Another mixed bag report (Recommending!)

2003-10-16T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The upkeep of the complex is very well, new appliances with great amenities, timely maintenance requests, and friendly staff. However, after two years I can´t quite shake the trains and the freight trains are the worst! As I´m basically right on the tracks, I can´t even open my window without ...

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Beautiful apartments! (Recommending!)

2003-08-18T00:00:00-06:00

From cookiebear: I have lived here for a year and am very happy with our apartment. It basically feels like a condo. Because the property was built with the "obvious" cal-train tracks on the North side, the structure is very solid making the apartment very quiet. True, if you live on the ...

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Eager to move out (Not Recommending)

2003-05-12T00:00:00-06:00

From svrenter03: I completely agree with the previous reviews regarding Caltrain. Although we live on the opposite side of the complex, our apartment shakes every time a train passes. Although I was able to get used to the shaking, the horns blowing late at night was something I could never sleep through. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: The Caltrain (Not Recommending)

2003-03-01T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Earlier reviews of the Caltrain being annoying are accurate. We live on the side right next to the tracks, and the apartment does indeed shake everytime a train goes by. The worst are the Freight Trains which come thru at the wee hours of the morning and almost every weeknight ... [click to read full apartment review]

Alexan Villa Del Sol: Mixed bag at Alexan (Not Recommending)

2002-07-01T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I´ve lived at Alexan for 10 months now with mixed feelings about the place. The place is new I was the first renter, but there´s a few things that are annoying and could be a showstopper for you. First of all Caltrain goes right by the apartment complex. My apartment ...
