San Marcos

Your property managers and securities never get back to you even after you've requested their help, very difficult to find parking, after paying your full rent but they are quick to have your vehicle towed for parking wrongly , will never recommend anybody to stay here , unless you own one vehicle and don't worry about the people who work here ever getting back to you.

- The apartment itself is cute, and clean. With spacious bedrooms/bathrooms and nice living area.
- The complex is nice looking and welcoming, the swimming area is really cool and the neighbors, so far, seem nice.
- There's a nice play area for kids where they can slide on scooters away from the street.
- Huge variety of good groceries stores in every direction. Mexican, Arabic, Asian, Walgreen's, etc..
- Not close to the BART at all (over 20 min drive to closest station)
- School district… changes, but you can always just play dumb and take ur child to the school u want. It is not a bad district but not fantastic either.
- But let me tell you about the management!!! The employees are clueless, not mean or rude, actually very nice, but truly clueless, made us sign contract 3 times because of continuous mistakes, got the school district wrong, take between 3-4 days to answer a call about a broken dishwasher.
- The manager, Oh my, so rude and unhelpful which causes the dysfunctionalities I mentioned earlier.
- So yes, we recommend you live here, specially if you have kids and pets, but keep in mind that most of the things people wrote about staff is true. And that you do have to deal with them more than you think. Read More

If you like living life unbothered and don't mind your property managers and security leaving you alone although you've requested their help, this complex is for you. You don't have to worry about the people who work here ever getting back to you. It's a beautiful place to live and I'm sure the other extra residents agree as it is very difficult to find parking. The apartment itself is a great place to live, with no expectations of what this community says it offers.

Conveniently located at the corner of Richmond Parkway and San Pablo Ave, makes it's an easy commute to Marin for my job. My rent here is half what I would pay if I lived closer to work. The East Bay is such a convenient and exciting place to live. Close to shopping, both airports, restaurants and cultural events.

San Marcos Apartments all have garages which guarantees you will always have a place to park. Who doesn't need a few extra square feet of storage that a garage provides. I love the… built in desk that you could put a computer, decorations or make a TV nook. The kitchen has all the amenities of a more expensive luxury apartment. The balcony runs the full length of my living room and bedroom where I can get the breeze from the nearby San Pablo bay.

I have lived here over 10 years and never had a problem with hearing my upstairs neighbors or crime. The office staff is friendly and maintenance is always provided asap. I don't think you can find a better
apartment deal for the money! Read More
