Was cheap at the time, but VERY hot in summer
For the price this one wasn´t terrible as apartments go. The landscaping was actually pretty nice, and the studios are quite large with a walk in closet, and clean. No cockroaches when I was there, and not much in the way of ants. Nice small pool but kids must be supervised, and they have a rule whereby babysitters can´t watch kids at the pool. Weird. <br> <br>If you rent here, make sure you get an apartment with northern exposure on the bottom floor. Even though it´s nicer to have a balcony, these places don´t have air conditioning and campbell is incredibly hot in the summer. Even with a fan and open windows in the shade it was too much for me. <br> <br>Complex was very diverse, and fairly calm and quiet. The neighborhood around it is in transition, but I saw no overt problems. Within walking distance of Safeway and a 4 screen movie theater that plays some first run but mostly second run movies. Ten minute drive to Valley Fair mall. <br> <br>Bottom line: if you´re used to luxury complexes you will not be happy here. If you´re used to small, older properties this would be a step up. However, if they´re charging more than 950 for the studios, shop elsewhere. Not worth it. You can get a small, older victorian near SJSU for the same price and be in a better neighborhood (in terms of stuff to do).Share This Review
