Ballena Village is my first post-college apartment. I've lived here for two years, and will probably renew my lease for a third. I've never had any issues. Everything was exactly as expected, and I really appreciate that everyone at the front office knows who I am. They're great with delivering packages to my apartment when I don't have time to pick them up, and maintenance is super quick to respond and has always fixed things the first time. Once I came home from a trip to find an issue with drainage in the sink, and someone immediately came after hours to get it fixed! A huge relief to have it taken care of so easily. I do wish the updates to the gym would come a little more quickly, but I have a gym membership outside of Ballena. The apartment is clean and cozy, and overall it's a super comfortable environment with the ponds outside and the ocean so close. I have really enjoyed making Ballena Village my home for a couple of years now.
