I have lived in La Costa for 4 years and that is all that I can take of this place. All the complaints in these reviews are absolutely true. They raise your rent at every opportunity. My a/c breaks about 6 times a year. The laundry room is a joke, there are only 4 each washers and dryers and never more than 2 working at any given time. You will loose a month's rent in quarters and they won't even take maint requests for the machines, you have to call some other company to report it. Oh but they did put in a vending machine which promptly took my dollar and never gave me anything. The residents are disrespectful of each other. No one cleans up after dogs, trash is everywhere, laundry room floor is covered in lint even with a trashcan a foot away. I tried AT&T as well as Access Media for internet and both were nightmares. Last week I walked outside and the backs to 3 of our 4 mailboxes were wide open exposing everyone in the complex's mail. Before that I had already bought a po box because, despite my name being on the lease and the mailbox, my mail continues to be returned. They took several days to cover the spray painted male genitalia on several of the buildings. The office staff is very snooty and rude and you have to walk right up and tell them what you need because they do not greet you or ask if you need help, they will let you stand there all day. An accountant once told me that I was lucky that she was not too busy to sign my insurance form. If you can only afford about $700 I would buy a large washing machine and live in its box before coming to this place.
