Terrible location, tiny, dark apartments, and run by criminals. I relocated (back) to the Bay Area and had to make a quick decision, so signed a lease at Pacific Bay Vistas. That was a mistake. Living here was awful - the development is in a microclimate on a ridge where it is constantly windy, dark, and cloudy. It might be charming for a day or two but after a few weeks it is oppressive. I had supposedly an ocean view - really a view of a fog bank. There is no guest parking - if you have a girlfriend or significant other, family, guests, well, good luck with that. They can park 1/2 mile away and trudge up the hill to the complex if they want to visit. Management is awful - they will constantly stick $100 charges on your balance due and I learned quickly to scrub my balance because most of them didn't belong there. I would get an 'oh, I'm sorry, that was a mistake" and they would reverse it. Once I moved out, after giving them notice, I left the apartment in pristine condition, but they sent me a bill for $3000 for not giving them 60 days notice (instead of 30 days). Apparently, they think that the threat of a collection on my credit report will scare me into coughing up an amount for when I didn't occupy the place. I own three SFR rental properties and would be in jail if I behaved this way. These people are crooks. P.S. The management has spent the last few weeks trying to talk me into taking down this Yelp review. Needless to say, they didn't offer any help on my concerns. I will be staying away from this developer and their projects for good.
