Unprofessional complex

DO NOT MOVE HERE. This complex is a complete nightmare, and safety is non-existent. The gates have been broken across the entire property for a long time, allowing anyone to wander in. Homeless individuals are constantly coming inside the complex, going through the garbage, and wandering the grounds.The staff is entirely unprofessional; they smoke on the job, openly argue and scream with residents inside and outside the office, and there are even complaints about staff having affairs during... business hours. Meanwhile, the property is infested with rats and roaches, and management does absolutely nothing to fix it. If you complain, they just push you away. Don't believe their replies to bad reviews—they are outright lying to cover up these terrible conditions. Save your sanity and look elsewhere.

Unprofessional complex

Do not lease at Griffis South Bay. The entire staff lives here on the property, yet the complex is filthy, the security gates are constantly broken, and the entire operation is completely unprofessional. Do not be fooled if the property looks okay during a tour; the staff only puts on a rehearsed performance when corporate is in town, then goes right back to neglecting the property the moment the bosses leave.The on-site property manager completely ignores critical resident complaints regarding... active rodent and roach infestations, leaving paying tenants to live in unsanitary conditions. Furthermore, she condones her staff openly neglecting their duties to handle personal affairs on company time. Maintenance and office staff are openly having personal affairs with each other, smoking cannabis while on the job, and smoking cigarettes directly under resident windows, forcing secondhand smoke into our homes.When you go to the leasing office for assistance, the manager is incredibly rude and literally shoos residents away with her hand. She treats the business office like a personal daycare, letting her child and dog run around completely uncontained, despite there being plenty of professional child and pet daycare options right here in Milpitas. Because the entire staff lives on-property, they cannot claim ignorance—they see the issues daily and simply do not care. Griffis Residential corporate needs to launch a surprise, unannounced audit of this office, investigate these severe conflicts of interest, and replace this management immediately

Great place to live!

I just move out Griffis South Bay this month because my company move to other state.
I started renting room from September 2021 and I lived there for about three and a half years.
During that time, I and my wife had great time in there and had great memory.
Very quiet place, Convenience place like easy to access HWY, Grocery, shopping mall. Also just 10 min to San Jose Airport, but I don't hear airplane noise at all,
All stuffs are very kind and helpful.
I recommend people live in Griffis South... Bay!

Great Community!

I have been living at Griffis apartments for past 6 months and its been a great experience. The location is great, from the cozy living room to the fully equipped kitchen, everything felt like a home away from home. Also shoutout to Marcela who has been an outstanding community manager who has been creating a positive living environment for this community. I highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking for a fantastic stay!
