Disgusted and Done with Vara SF
This place is a total joke.
I moved into Vara expecting a secure, professionally managed building. What I got was a front-row seat to a street market of stolen junk every single weekend. No exaggeration — right outside the main entrance, people set up tarps and shopping carts full of random electronics, boxed appliances, and shoes with tags still on them. It’s chaotic, loud, filthy, and completely unmanaged.
What’s worse? Management does nothing. Zero security, zero communication, zero... accountability. It’s like they’ve just given up on keeping this place livable.
We’re paying premium rent to step over trash and sketchy sidewalk sales just to leave our own home. It’s embarrassing, unsafe, and flat-out unacceptable.
Don’t fall for the staged tours and fancy lobby. Come by on a Saturday afternoon and see what Vara really feels like.
I’m counting down the days until my lease is up.

I'm disappointed to hear that your experience at Vara Apartments wasn't a positive one. We work with City officials and the local police department to keep the outside area as clear as possible. While we take great effort to take care of the inside... of our building, the outside of our building, we largely rely on the City of San Francisco. We would love to address this with you directly. If you reach out to our office via phone or email, we would love to hear from you. Thanks much, and looking forward to hearing from you.
