Resident 2015

I would not recommend this apartment to others. The #1 thing that is holding me back is the price vs what you get in return. The rooms are very basic with out dated appliances, poor quality carpet, squeaky floors, old counter tops, and the list goes on. I'll give them credit for some improvements in the past year like the outdoor patio area, bright outdoor lighting, and new windows paid for by PGE grants but it still feels like you are living in a sub-par unit. If I'm paying this much in Mountain View I at least need hard wood floors, modern appliances, a bathroom that doesn't look like it was remodeled in 1970, a washer and dryer hookup in the unit, etc. Even though apartments feel scarce in the area if you give it time you will find the place you are looking for. This might be the right place for some people just looking for a place to live temporarily (if you are new to the area and don't have the time it takes shop around). The community is good and you will find your neighbors to be pleasant and friendly. The apt manager does a good job keeping riff-raff out. It's very close to Safeway. It's about 20 mins walk to Castro Street. It's very easy to bike to Google on Sierra Vista and over the 101 overpass. However once you visit friends in the area and see what kind of accommodations they have for the price they are paying you eventually will want more and move on.

    I am a little surprised by this posting as I only have been hearing positive feedback from many of the tenants here. You clearly have not lived here only in 2015 as you have stated. We update also when tenants request, within reason. All new tenants over the past couple of years have new kitchen countertops and new carpeting along with a general upgrade of the unit. At this time we offer good quality carpet rather than all pergo flooring. If you just recently moved in, why would you accept your apartment if things are as bad as you say? Why would you pay more rent than is acceptable? The brand new windows were not an incentive from PG&E. No grants were received or even asked for with ALL recent improvements. All existing tenants are paying on average $400-$800 less per month than market value. The appliances are mostly up to date and replaced within the past 3 years. Washer/dryer hookups would be great, but then the market price would be another $200 or more per month. I usually choose an apartment with washer/dryer hookups if that is important to me. Everyone I have spoken to, including the newer tenants are amazed at how much lower the rates are here compared too other comparable apartments in the area. Hopefully, when you shop for a new apartment, you will be careful to commit to one that better fits your needs. Your new rent will be significantly higher than what you are paying now.
