Resident 2010 - 2013

10/18/2013

While I have had small issues in the past, problems are starting to arise more and more in the neighborhood. The Vista De Oro complex may be a great price (2 Bed / 2 Bath for 1050), but it comes at a cost. The kitchen counters peel and stain very easy, and cabinets are cheap plywood with a wallpaper like wood print, that also peel and bubble. Maintenance used to be very prompt, but their service is starting to slow down. I had a job wait for over 2 months before it was taken care of. I did call the office to remind them during this period (around 3 times.) The laundry facility is a disgrace. It's open from 9AM until sometimes 9PM, or whenever the guy with the key feels like closing it. Once it's locked, you must wait until 9AM to retrieve your items. There are only 3 washers and dryers for a complex of 24 apartments, and they are often filled. There is a wait list for parking if you have more than one vehicle, and street parking after 4pm is PACKED. The parking is gated, but the apartment entry gate itself is not a secure entry, so anyone can get into the parking lot. There is no playground for the kids, so they all play in the small central courtyard for hours on end, and they are very noisy. Parents are often not around to supervise, so get ready for a lot of screaming. There has also been a recent problem with kids leaving their toys on the sidewalk, which can be difficult to see when the lights are out. Safety lighting could be better. Some of the lights are currently out in the parking lot and sidewalk, and it makes areas very dark. Most tenants keep to themselves, but a few like to stir things up with the neighboring complex. It seems we have the Police outside at least once a week. With all this being said, the woman in the office is extremely helpful and polite, and is quick to address any issue you have. Included in the rent is trash & sewage. It's up to you to pay cable, internet, electricity, and water, which is a flat monthly rate of $45. If you have a family and are trying to save some money, you may like this complex. For a couple / roommates / singles, take your money elsewhere.
