            As mentioned by previous reviews, Palo Alto Plaza apartments definitely has its strength: beautiful landscaping, gated parking, two pools, and a gym. However, there are also very bad aspects about this place. In a way, these can be traced to the newly inexperienced and unenthusiastic manager.ā€¦Ā See More >
