I was giving this place the benefit of the doubt for the entire year but the truth is, rent is insanely high, the staff is extremely nice until the second you sign these lease. They are all about the deposit dollars, because once you sign, all customer service vanishes. They will ignore every call and email after you sign the dotted line. They have a great sales pitch, don't believe a word, it's false advertising. They had a great bit about how they will fight for you if you have bad neighbors, but really they just ignore you until you go away. Youll never have the chance to speak to anyone. There's a reason this place has bad yelp reviews. Honestly, the leasing staff ruins it all. The location, apartment, and grounds are great. But be prepared to pay the amount of a used car once a month to be here. The washing machines smell AWFUL and moldy and they breakdown all the time. This may seem like a small problem but you LIVE here and wear those clothes on your body...and at your job... Also, the water pressure is so bad in the kitchen that we've had to wash dishes in the bathroom. The dishwasher is cheap, disgusting, and useless so we haven't used it all year. I'm guess the water pressure is to blame there too. I just tried to go to the pool one my ONE day off in the week and it was closed for a party...no signs, just rude residents telling me I had no right to be at the pool I pay almost 2 grand a month for access to. Went to the leasing department and they were VERY rude when I told them what happened. Also, you have to pay a ridiculous amount for parking. We have 1 car but because we want a guaranteed spot , we are paying for two. Also, we are paying an extra $110 A MONTH in rent for an adult dog and adult cat who cause NO damage to the apartment. Speaking of pets, the fleas are insane here! My babies never get fleas, they are always on meds and we've never had a problem until we moved here. Be ready for that infestation. We've tried hundreds of dollars worth of treatments but nothing works. I know OB has a flea problem, but when we lived on Muir for a month when we first moved here, we had zero problems.. When we first moved in, I had to scrub the place top to bottom because it smelled like smoke. A LOT of dirt came up when I did. But I ignored that red flag because everyone was sooooooooooo nice when signing the lease. I tried to convince myself this place wasn't so bad but being treated the way I was at the leasing department today about a legit complaint was the last straw. Whatever price you think you are going to pay for your apartment here, just add a couple hundred bucks in their nickle and diming charges and horrid landlords who want to push you out for the next deposit check, then rethink your decision. Fun tip! If you call the number and press 2 for residents, they won't answer. But if you press 1, for potential residents, there's no delay in getting your call answered! How about that?
