Casa Del Sol

Casa Del Sol Apartments present well at first glance, with landscaping and cosmetic finishes that suggest a well-maintained community. However, based on my experience over several years, the underlying conditions tell a very different story.

Recurring water shut-offs have been a continual issue for approximately five years, often taking place with little to no advance notice. Plumbing problems appear to be chronic, including sewage backups, massive leaks and pipe failures that have resulted in... unpleasant conditions and disruptions. Security has also been a concern: it is not uncommon to find homeless individuals and vehicles on the property, and on multiple occasions residents have discovered their cars damaged or on blocks missing wheels. The front security gate is frequently left open for days or weeks, and parking becomes nearly impossible after 4pm or late afternoon due to non-residents occupying spaces.

Maintenance and amenities are inconsistent. The pool and Jacuzzi have been closed by the city repeatedly due to sanitation or compliance problems, and shared areas are often affected by strong odors, including marijuana smoke in common hallways. Noise disturbances, domestic disputes, and regular police presence contribute to an environment that feels far from stable or peaceful.

In summary, while Casa Del Sol may appear attractive from the outside, those considering living here should be aware of the persistent infrastructure failures, safety concerns, and quality-of-life issues. In my view, it may be best suited only for those with no alternative housing options. Lee mas

Location is great. Reason for 1 star.
Great too that they have some units with a patio and attached garage. Reason for 2 star.
But no other stars because Complex on the surface looks good, especially compared to other complexes in HB. However, when they prepare a unit for a new tenant they just paint over the old paint with out any primer or sanding so you see all the areas where paint previously peeled and new paint easily peels. , They moved the knobs on the cabinets, instead of putting in new... cabinets, and patched the holes but didn't sand so you see the patch. The faucets in the kitchen and bathroom leak and need to be replaced due to corrosion. When it rains there's frequent mold issues in the garage. As they say "they slapped lipstick on a pig" to get by but the stuff they do is lazy and doesnt fix the issue. Now for the leasing office team, don't expect any help from them. Once they lure you in to rent a unit, they aren't willing to help you out if you have issues with your unit. They definitely don't go above and beyond to help the tenants. They spend their time and money on planning food truck visits and ice cream socials rather than putting money back into the complex or helping residents with serious issues concerning the complex.

It used to be a great place to live. Now it has become a homeless people hangout place. The pools are always dirty and closed several times per year because the health inspection needs to shut them down!

In the mornings, you can see homeless people washing themselves off in the pools!

management is horrible , hidden move out fees, $190 cleaning fee when apartment was left with out any trash.

I just moved-in and so far I like it, Michael is the one who helped me, such a professional & knowledgeable apartment manager I've ever met compare to other complex, always taking care all the tenants, the complex are quiet/ clean/ organize, haven't tried the pool area (so I'm not so sure how sanitize it is)
