Location is great, remodeled apartments are very nice practically a brand new apartment. Management is friendly and open, staff is friendly and helpful, everyone who works here is very personable and approachable even the lady who cleans the lobby she is very nice. The residents are pretty nice foe the most part very friendly Elevator rides. Also this property has fantastic amenities for being right in the middle of San Diego. How many apartments have a basketball court and a tennis court? Also… the views are pretty good as well! Read More

Lived in this apartment for three years, and the last year was solely because of the fact my roommate and I were too lazy to move (huge mistake). Would never recommend it to anyone I know (or don't know honestly). The windows in the rooms seem like they were installed in the 1820s. Not only does closing them block out absolutely no noise (in a very busy part of the city), but if it's the slightest bit windy it will sound like your apartment is falling apart. The building has fifteen floors and… three elevators, and you should consider yourself lucky if two of them are working leading to nearly ten minute waits to just get to your car quite often. Beyond that, the people who work in the leasing office couldn't be more unhelpful or unprofessional. When we first moved in we were told we would be given a free carpet replacement before moving out, and despite me bringing this up multiple times before moving out, they charged us for a carpet replacement when returning our security deposit. Anytime we called them because our neighbors were playing music loudly in the middle of the night, they did absolutely nothing to rectify the situation despite knowing exactly which apartments were responsible. Not only that but they just wouldn't return messages or emails left to their office (on more than one occasion). During COVID, absolutely none of the amenities were open (understandably), yet when it came time to renew our rent for the coming year, it didn't decrease or stay the same. It went up by over $100/month. For reference, when we first moved in our rent was $2200 a month, and by the time we moved out they wanted $2700 a month (3 years later). That's before throwing in whatever other miscellaneous charges they tack on like parking ($125 a month). Meanwhile, while they were trying to squeeze us for $500 more a month than when we first moved in, they were leasing the exact same apartment as ours for that same $2200 price. They would hold their yearly fire drill inspections multiple times a year which means they would run the fire alarms in every apartment for an entire day. One month went by where construction crews with jackhammers would start work outside our apartment at 7AM or earlier, and when we tried to speak to the leasing office about this, they would just shrug their shoulders and do nothing. Hope this helps at least one person avoid this place. Read More

This place is a good place to start your apartment living from ground zero because they offer credit check and not 3 or 4 times rent. They have great amenities and a great community around the units. Dog friendly and offer 24/7 fitness center. This is a great place wether you are first time renter or not!!
