Reserve at Walnut Creek Apartamentos

Great location just outside of downtown Walnut Creek. Carmen is extremely friendly and helpful

Recently moved into the Reserve at Walnut Creek and couldn’t be more happy. Great vibe, and Carmen was so friendly and helpful!

I have been a resident at Reserve Walnut Creek since January 2024 and it has been an absolute pleasure. I’m actually in the process of buying a home and will genuinely be sad to leave Reserve. The units are newly renovated, very modern. I use the gym, pool and hot tub frequently. Everything on the property is well maintained. I’ve befriended several neighbors over the past year and will miss seeing them regularly. The only negative I can think of is that the unit above me has creaky floors and I... can hear every step that my upstairs neighbor takes but it didn’t disrupt my sleep so it wasn’t much of an issue.

While I can't speak for everyone, I will say that I've enjoyed living in the apartment we're currently at. Past reviews may have some valid points but I'm going to assume it was under different management, the current property manager is very sweet and kind and takes time to answer all your questions and address all concerns. This will be year 2 of living in Reserve at Walnut Creek. I'll leave a small pros and cons (based on my experience alone)

Pros:

- close to downtown
- good schools
-... great property manager
- pet friendly
- good amenities

Cons:
- right next to Ygnacio Valley Rd, a busy street so you'll definitely be hearing the traffic a lot.
- apartments have some squeaky floors so if you're at the top floor be mindful of that. (Though I live at the top floor and I can hear my downstairs neighbors.)
- while it has not happened a lot, mail boxes will be open, so far it's only happened twice since living here, none of my mail has been taken but again, take it with a grain of salt, (the silver lining is as I said, manager gets on top of that real quick.)
- I believe it's only 1 parking space per apartment and/or tenant, so if you have 2 cars you'll have to roll your dice on the free-for-all first come first serve parking.
- because it is let friendly, you'll be hearing them from time to time so if pet noises bother you, this location might not be the best for you.

Aside from that I can't really think of anything else, as I said my experience has been great but that's mine and mine alone. I love it here! Lee mas

If you value your sleep, then DO NOT come here. If you get a first floor apartment, you will hear everything your upstairs neighbors do. Prepare to live on their schedule. They will wake you up, the floors squeak very loudly. If you like sleeping in on Saturdays, be prepared to wake up at 8am sharp. They have grass cutting crew with very loud lawn movers coming in to begin work every Saturday at 8am. I’ve asked the management to move the grass cutting time multiple times and it hasn’t happened.... The hot tub works only 5 months out of the year. Can’t wait to move out of here! Lee mas
