Resident 2007 - 2008

3/2/2008

(still living here and plan to renew my lease in a few months..) I've lived here for about a year. I moved to Fremont because I work in the south bay but my fiancee works in SF, so we were trying to find a place in the south-East bay that was next to a BART station. Before moving here, I was scared by the reviews, especially in regard to safety, but everything has been great so far. I would say the pros are: - really nice units - very soundproof - i never hear my neighbors or BART - very convenient location (4 minute walk to bart, several large shopping centers within 1 mile, 880 and 680 within ~2.5 miles, park w/lake nearby, main library and police station 1 block away) - reasonable prices - everything is online - maintenance requests, direct debit to pay rent, etc - i don't know if it's all units, but having an in-unit washer/dryer is great Not great - they like to do pointless touch-ups a lot: repaints the doors, the door frames, the window frames, the corridors, etc. It's not too annoying, but I feel like they don't know what to do with money. - the scathing reviews are certainly unsettling. I haven't seen any big problems myself, but I was paranoid for the first few months I lived here. Neutral. - lots of indian and afghani food (and people) around. Your take on this depends on your dietary preferences. - maintenance people are great, but the maintenance request system is so-so. seems like the first request may or may not get resolved in the first 24 hours, but if you bring it up again, they always come quickly and do their thing - management is inconsistent. Some people on the team are very nice and helpful, others are neither.
