Shadow Point

I will start off by saying do NOT move here unless you are extremely desperate and have no other options.
1.There 100% will be roaches in your apartment, You might not see them right away when you move in, but they will turn up no matter how much you try to get rid of them. The apartment states they spray them, but it doesn’t matter, they show up because the apartment isn’t patched correctly.
2.These apartment complexes don't look bad at a quick glance, but it becomes obvious the apartment… complex doesn’t care about the grounds. There’s trash everywhere and upon my first week here, someone had defecated behind my car!! This was not cleaned for over a week.
3.Aside from moving in, don’t expect to have contact with the leasing office. They never answer their phone, respond to voicemails or emails. Goodluck actually catching them in office and if you do, the staff is not friendly. I will say the maintenance team is awesome and very accommodating.
4.Yes, there are many children who live in this complex and there isn’t much space for them to just play like kids, so they do often play in places they shouldn’t. These kids do not care about anyone around them and will not move for you or take in to consideration cars driving around them. They play into the hours of the night, loudly running by your windows and yelling.
5.People bump music throughout the day, late at night or early in the morning. No one has any consideration for anyone else in this complex. People yell, argue or just hang out outside late as well.
6.Residents do smoke, weed and cigarettes, which is not an issue in itself, except when you cant have your window open because your neighbor is smoking right outside and then your apartment stinks. Also, my neighbors would smoke inside their apartment and turn on the fans inside their bathroom, so my bathroom and bedroom would stink like weed.
7.The complex advertises security at night, and they are there sometimes but they do not do anything.
8. You can pay for a parking carport, but people here don't care and will park anywhere they want. I had a carport that was pretty covered, so people would constantly park there to do drugs or complete drug deals. Children hide there to smoke weed and leave trash everywhere.
9. Yes, there are homeless who walk through the complex going through trash and leave the trash on the ground, Sleep inside the parking carports and use the grounds as a bathroom.
Much more to write, too little space Read More

This is the worst apartment complex in San Diego county. I would not recommend living here unless you enjoy drug deals, domestic violence and lack of local safety. The parent company, Essex Apartments, does not care about the residents. They limit managers ability to make any necessary changes due to focus on financial decisions.
After attempting to work with Essex and Shadow Point, there has been not just a lack of response, but negative progress. My parking space has become more unsafe, more… tagging and less response from Essex. Read More

Hello I currently live in shadow point apartments and I love it. It never too loud and it's super safe there are always kids running around. It's very clean and the pool area and BBQ area are pristine. Parking is easy and safe

Improvements were made by maintenance. The pool is nice
