Very noisy (more than 86 dB at night), bad management and very expensive.

    It's been almost 3 months since I moved out and I still have not received the deposit refund check. I've given Magnolia Square my mailing address many times via email & phone, and offered to pick up the check at the leasing office (for some… See More >

      I like the location/community, I think since you bought the property from the last owner, you cut the storage that the apartments use to have, I don't have storage, but old residents have, and they don't pay, why do I have to pay, if the… See More >

        Overall quite satisfied. The landscape is well maintained. The on-site managers are pleasant to deal with. I hope to be able to call the office directly, rather than walking-in and talking to them in person. Every time I call there is a voice mail.

              Great experience so far. The staff is always happy to help and address issues in a timely manner. Good amenities that are kept nice and clear throughout the year. I enjoy the access to both Sunnyvale and Mountain View downtown.

                On the higher-price end, but the newly finished apartments are nice and make the absolute best use of the square footage. Big kitchen sink, nice granite countertops, and hardwood floors everywhere except the main room.

                    Great landscaping/property feel. Apartments are small, but interior/features/appliances are brand new and modern. BBQs and other amenities are accessible, but not designed optimally for use by all or at leisure.

                                Good overall, some noisy neighbors, inadequate amenities and exercise facilities. Need to have a real exercise facility and need to have a responsive complaint system that resolves complaints.

                                          Dear former Magnolia Resident, I am genuinely sorry to hear the description of your experience at our property. Please allow me to attempt to address your concerns stated above. First of all, thank you for the kudos to our maintenance staff. We appreciate your kind words. We consider ourselves in the office to be very nice, as part of our overall demeanor as we strive to provide excellent customer service. In some instances, we unfortunately cannot give every resident exactly what they want, and this can come off in many ways other than nice. I can assure you that we treat every one of our residents with respect and courtesy across the board. I honestly believe there could be some misunderstanding between the reasons you think some of our residents are moving out, or what you perceive as â??a lotâ?? of neighbors leaving. I can tell you that while pricing is a reason as to why different people decide to stay or go in general at ANY property, with us it had to do with timing and renovations of units. Residents were offered to transfer to a renovated unit at a fair rate and below current market rates, or unfortunately they would have to move out of their current home. With sufficient 60 day notice, and in most cases more notice, we were able to provide them with these options. With respect to the rent increases, we have definitely not increased rents between $300 to $800 upon renewal. If I had a better idea of your date of move or who you are, I could better assist you. But on average our increases (the few times we have increased) have been 6% to 9%. I would like to better understand where you came to those numbers stated above, as these are certainly not accurate. While you are correct about the rent control in Sunnyvale in general, we do not use that to push our residents out nor do we abuse that ability to increase at a much higher rate. We, just like all other Property Management Companies, use market analysis to come to our pricing which is fair, if not a little under for the area. I welcome your call or email and am more than happy to continue the conversation with you directly. My office number is (408) 773-8448 and email is dvalencia@essexpropertytrust.com. I look forward to speaking with you soon. Regards, DeAnna Valencia Property Manager
