Resident 2009

7/29/2009

I think some of these bad reviews are over exaggerated by angry (former) residents. I rent an apartment on the 1rst floor, the size is great for a 1 bedroom, the apartment was clean when we moved in, it is fully loaded with air conditioning & heating system, I love that there is a washer & dryer in our apartment. We have a mid size balcony that over looks the lagoon. SOMETIMES i hear heavy footsteps above us but not too often, I have no problems with loud noises, neighbors or loud teenage parties. I hardly see my neighbors. I have not seen any Thugs or Gangs living on this property either. Archstone does a criminal background check on your application before they think of approving it. I only see Military families, couples & some elderly on property. I have no problems with pest or bugs because i keep my place clean on a regular basis. If you see bugs in your apartment a lot then, you need to either take advantage of the complimentary Pest Control & you need to start keeping your apartment clean more often. The Business Center is quiet & clean, I have not seen it dirty & with loud people since I been here, although the times i've been in there, it has been occupied by a few people, but I don't go there often because I have my own computer, internet, copy machine & fax. The pool & jacuzzi is clean at regular temperature, I usually take advantage of it when no one is there or when there are a few people around (early morning in the summer or mid day). The Fitness Center is usually empty (no people) when i am there working out (mid day or early morning), no one has ever parked on my parking stall since I lived here, You have the option of calling a tow truck any way if that even happens. The only downfall I ever had was this one time, the Leasing Office made a mistake on a maintanence call to our apartment by mistake giving the maintanence man "permission to enter" while i was in the apartment only wearing my underwear & a tank top with no bra. Needless to say, he walked in on me. I had to call the Leasing Office to complain. They were pretty good about apologizing & kept reassuring me it was an honest mistake & it will never happen again. Maintanence is usually good at responding to our service calls, they show up the next day. I've only had a problem with my toilet not flushing all the way once. Since I have my own plunger at home, it helps to use it & not flush anything down the toilet that you know will clog it. The Leasing Office Staff has been professional & friendly so far, so I can't complain about that. It's true the rent is a little high for a 1 bedroom but that is because it's called living in California! the amount of rent also depends on the economy & the month you sign the lease. The rent is high no matter where you go, this is a decent, upscale, quiet neighborhood in Carlsbad (which is a popular area/tourist attraction due to Legoland, the Outlets & the Flower Fields nearby) if you want cheap rent, then you need to go to the other side of Carlsbad or Oceanside (aka the ------), where things will probably be alot worse then you complain it to be at Archstone Pacific View.
