DO NOT LIVE HERE!! me and my roommates have had to get repairs done nearly every damn week. the microwave, the toilets, the showers, the faulty front door lock, their furniture and appliances are cheap and dinky. also very loud street. and rats read more

I would have to say there are better places to live that is worth your money. The only reason I say this is because the apartments aren't worth what they are asking for. Here is a list of things that need a lot of work: 1. They are always shutting the water off in our building because the pipes are always bursting. It's really inconvenient when you have to go to the gym to take a shower, and that's IF you have a membership. If you don't you aren't taking a shower that day. 2. There are these disgusting fruit flys that are ALWAYS in the apartment, ESPECIALLY during the summer, and it doesn't matter how clean you keep your place... They still come. I used bleach... Everything... Nothing would get rid of them and the leasing office doesn't do anything about the infestation of fruit flys. 3. After they re-painted the apartment complex it felt like we were living in a dark red dungeon. This is because the white walls were replaced with this clay red color and that is where the light reflects off the wall and into our apartment. So after that the color would give me a headache and then I started to really dislike being at home. The color that reflects into our apartments made it so depressing to be in. 4a. Our elevator is, and currently is, ALWAYS broken. It always takes the office a week or even longer to get someone to fix it. This is even worse when you have suit cases and have to go up 4 flights of stairs... Not fun. It also made moving out of the apartment really difficult. 4b. ALSO it's even more annoying that the building that has the leasing office has a better and more updated elevator that works all the time. 5. The security doesn't do much about parties that go on during the weekdays, and on weekends parties go on till ridiculous hours of the night. It was really annoying when I had to go to work every morning at 8AM. 6. Another REALLY annoying thing is the laundry. If you want to re-fill your money laundry card you have to make sure that you do it when the leasing office is open. If you forget you'll have to wait the next day. Why is this? Well it's because they only have ONE, yes ONE, money card re-fill station. Suggestion: get one in each building complex. 7. Also since they changed there internet package with COX the internet is sooooooooo SLOOOOOOOW. Good luck getting any internet during the school year. 8. The gates to get into the complex are either broken so you can't get in or don't close all the way, so people who don't belong in the apartment complex can get in. Not very secure or safe for parents who think there children have security. There is a lot more but I don't have time to sit here all day and list every single thing, but these are the main concerns. But at least you get a feel for the things you might be stepping into when you sign the lease with Aztec Corner. read more

Aztec Corner - THE PIPES BURST AGAIN! No hot water and gross BROWN water coming out. Here is a photo of this disgusting place. - Apartments Near Me - San Diego, California

Aztec corner is probably the most ratchet place to live. It's broken down and old. There are units that have flooded, Including mine. Now that sdsu housing has it under control they are charging $1300 a month for DOUBLES. The gates are loud and the walls are incredibly thin. DO NOT LIVE HERE. Sdsu housing and Aztec corner didn't even renovate to compensate for forcing second years to live on campus. IF I could review it for 0 stars I would. It maybe worth $750 a month for the previous year but this place is a shit hole selling for almost twice as much. read more

If it was an option for zero star I choose that. When I moved the apartment it was extremely dirty and my room was full of dust. The lock from front door was almost broken, I notified office but nothing was fixed Every time to open and to lock the door it took me 5 min. So annoying! Light in the kitchen was barely working as well. As well as the refrigerator. Again, nothing was fixed. The office is a joke! Also they charged me 12 $ for the trash they collected from previous roommate and 30$ for broken vans that were broken before I moved in. I contacted their accounting but I guess she or he doesn't care as well. Don't move in. The price and location is not worth it. read more

My friends air conditioning has been dripping for weeks! Despite many service requests and two people coming to check it, it still continues to leak. It drips extremely loud and fast. Sdsu needs to fix these old ass buildings so students apartments don't flood! read more

Ass. From day one, there have been problems with our apartment. Our shower pressure would work 50% of the time, there was a sharp blade at the bottom of the oven that was never fixed, our refrigerator flooded onto the floor multiple times per week, the walls were as thinner than 1/2 ply toilet paper, and there were multiple safety hazards during our stay. We submitted so many requests to have the basic things fixed that eventually the staff would check the request as completed even though nobody came to apartment to even look at the issue. Aztec Corner doesn't care about living standards and charges you a ridiculous amount of money for horrendous living conditions. Stay anywhere else PLEASE read more

This place is a horrible place to live. It is only a knick better than living in the dorms. Apartment management is a joke, they scam you. They are con artists, they know what they are doing and they will take your money. Be warned, it is bearable with good roommates however. Expect constant water shutoffs amongst other issues! read more

As a parent (co-signer) I found this place very difficult to deal with. It's like it's run by children. They didn't seem to understand (or respect) landlord / tennant laws. I've found their practices questionable at best. I wouldn't recommend this place. Tell your kid to find a regular apartment away from campus. The location isn't worth the price or hassle. You had better plan to not only lose your entire security deposit, but set money aside to pay what ever charges they come up with at the end of the lease. I've dealt with criminal motorcycle gang members and I've dealt with Aztec Corner.... I prefer dealing with the MC gang members. I've been treated more fairly by them. read more

Worst building ever... Front office and accountability....You are doing management a disservice. Your attitude is so sad. Always nasty and defensive. It's as if your staff could never ever make a mistake. You're very pathetic. The staff is a joke. The service is awful. Repairs are usually just a patch job. Blinds are cheap. AC rarely cools. Hallways are filled with trash. Plus...all the lies from the office. Nothing but lies. So listen up...you do not want to live here. It's a ripoff. Parking lot isn't safe. The rent is too high. Go somewhere else. Run like hell from here. Location is NOT everything. Do not consign a lease here. They will rip you off. They will disrespect you. They will treat you like crap. The place is unsafe and I'm so happy I'm not there anymore. Aztec corner. Worst building ever....! read more

I wish I could not give any stars at all. I don't even know where to begin. I lived here last year and it was probably the worst experience I've ever had. When we got there the apartment was never cleaned from the last people so there was trash everywhere. There were big gashes out of the paint on the walls and a bunch of our blinds were missing. I had to personally go around to all of the cabinets and doors and WD-40 them because they either would not open, or would squeak SO loud to the point where we would be waking each other up in the morning. We had knobs breaking off of the cabinets, our oven cooked at like hyper speed, and our dishwasher sounded like we had a garbage truck in our apartment every time we ran it. The place is so out dated in my building but I noticed that the one in the leasing office is all updated and new so that doesn't seem fair. We were also SUPER clean and rarely had any kind of mess in our apartment but we had these little moth type things flying around all of the time. So disgusting. They also turned off our water very unexpectedly, very often. We would go to take showers before leaving for important things and all of the sudden the water didn't work? Super inconvenient to have to leave to a friends house to shower when you're already crunching for time. Also, we had to poor stuff that we went out and bought down our drains in our sink and tub constantly because they smelt like something died in them. When we called the maintenance people about it, the guy got there and asked if we had anything he could use... Although I could go on forever, here's my last complaint. SECURITY DEPOSIT: My roommate and I charged for "dresser repair" and missing blinds in our bedroom and the living room . I have no idea what they could've done to either of our dressers because we literally left the place spotless and both of our dressers worked fine but it was $40 each. As I mentioned from move in, we got there with the blinds missing! They never replaced them from the people before us so how are we the ones having to pay for it?! I came home on the weekends to do my laundry because it's so ridiculously structured there and even just being at aztec corner 4 days out of my week was miserable. DON'T LET THE DECENT LOOKING MODEL FOOL YOU, IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT!!! Take that $800 you're spending to SHARE a room and live somewhere you actually get things for your money and just walk the extra mile... it's not worth it! read more

I subleased at Aztec Corner during the summer, starting in early May till the end of the lease in July in a 1 Bed/Bath with a roommate. The employees who worked in the office were kind and courteous, and assisted with the sublease and move-out process! The office offers free printing and coffee to guests, and is where you go if you need to pick up a package. Complimentary Internet speeds were pretty fast, and Cox Cable TV is included as well. Really the only issue that I had was that the walls/glass are super thin. Lying in my bed, I could easily hear every conversation and noise going on in the courtyard. Our air conditioning unit malfunctioned during a hot summer day, and while the unit started to work properly on its own, it was nice to see the repairman come the same day as we notified the office. Granted, I only lived here for a few months and it wasn't during the school year, so my experience probably differs from most. The distance between the apartment complex and SDSU is really nice though during the school year, but I would imagine there would be a line to print in the office, and the irritation caused by the more foot traffic in the corridors could be annoying in the morning due to the thin walls. read more

Tandem parking is ridiculously inconvenient. My roommate and I have both been late to our jobs due to having to coordinate moving our cars for each other. 2/4 dryers in my floor's laundry room do not work. There's a huge hole in the laundry room's ceiling as well and it often leaks filling the floor with water. The exit signs continuously fall down by their wires causing potential harm electrically or physically to residents. When I moved in the unit was dirty. Our dishwasher barely works so it's useless. I'm sure there's more I could complain about. 2 stars because the price is okay ( I'll be moving to the much nicer Blvd63 for cheaper) and the staff is friendly but this building needs a facelift! Update: the homeless are starting to infiltrate; sometimes the gates don't latch so people can come in. Saw an obviously homeless guy just chillin in our stairwell. This morning walking my dog a homeless person was sleeping in the ramp walkway then decided to take a pee right in front of me. Literally bent over butt naked without a care in the world. Courtesy patrol please do something about this? It doesn't make me feel safe? read more

This place is disgusting! They claim to clean everything before you move in but that's a lie! Carpets are disgusting and FULL of hair I could make a wig (NO exaggeration) when you say it's an emergency they don't take you serious! Management is so RUDE!! To the point that they fight with parents(have some respect)! I wouldn't live here if I got payed! Only reason I enjoyed living here was cause I went through it with my great roommates. But AVOID this place! I know it's close but don't put yourself through it! Everything's cheap and breaks it ! read more

Aztec Corner - When they don't understand it's an emergency !!! - Apartments Near Me - San Diego, California

I would caution any parents from allowing their son or daughter to stay here. They show you a very nice apartment, and then ask the students (not the parents) to sign a lease as soon as possible. The parents are supposed to sign a form to "guarantee" the rent for the length of the lease. My son signed a lease, and then realized it was a rip off, since I as a parent would have to pay the years rent if anything goes wrong. One week after signing the lease, he went in six months in advance of the move in date, asking to remove himself from the lease, even willing to pay a fee to break the lease. The answer from the manager? You have to find someone else to "sublet" this apartment, or you move in, no other option. Absolute craziness. Find another place or use on campus apartments. We are filing a formal complaint with SDSU. How can SDSU let these people rip students off? read more

Come move out they will find any excuse to fine you. My towel rack broke off, i filed a workorder before move out, and still got charged $40 for a broken wall! Put in a workorder and it will never get fixed because they want to fine you! They switched their payment portal mid-lease which caused so many problems, missed payments, $20 credit card fees every month, and late fines. They dont allow you to keep your trash outside without being fined so your apartment reeks and is infested with fruitflies. Avoid living here!!! They find every excuse to take your money! If I could rate this zero stars I would. read more

Aztec Corner will find any way to keep your Security Deposit. My emails questioning the charges and asking for proof of the replacement of a coffee table in my case ($45.00 X 4 roommates and cleaning of bathroom and kitchen + trash $81.25 x's 4 roommates) magically add up to the amount of my security deposit split 4 ways $739.00/ $125.00 went completely unanswered. In my experience I then got a letter demanding an additional $1.25 with threats to send me to debt collection. Our apartment specifically the kitchen and bathrooms were spotless upon move out- cleaner then move in ( it was dirty and needed to be cleaned) and to our knowledge the coffee table was in a "upon move in same condition" upon move out. Everyone I know that unfortunately rented from Aztec Corner had a portion ranging from all or some of their deposit withheld for untrue reasons unlawfully. If you unfortunately did move in already, protect yourself and take pictures and document EVERYTHING!! Upon move out take pictures and document EVERYTHING. For your Renters Rights, resources and to educate yourself I have found CLC Legal Plans Incorporated very helpful and I will now be pursuing legal action against Aztec corner. - The Rapoza Family Associated Students has partnered with CLC Legal Plans Incorporated to provide FREE legal and financial services to enrolled SDSU students.Free confidential consultations available at 1-800-541-9701 read more

I subleased at Aztec corner over the summer. My advice is to avoid this complex if possible. The buildings are so old and run down. The walls are paper-thin, so you can hear everything all night while you're trying to sleep. They do not enforce quiet hours so it is loud 24/7. There are always bugs getting into the apartment. The water gets shut off at random times, so you may not be able to take a shower in the morning. The front desk employees are all kids and are not much help. Everything in the apartment breaks and maintenance takes forever to fix it. Usually the maintenance people left my room in worse condition than before anyways as well as leaving their tools and mess in there. The blinds are cheap and typically will not open/close. They will try to charge you for every little thing at the end of your lease, so you will probably not receive your deposit back. read more

Seriously the worst ever. DO NOT LIVE HERE. I was matched with a roommate from hell who threatened to physically fight me numerous times, smoked cigarettes & weed indoors, and was overall just a terrible human being. Despite having evidence of all of this they said "sorry we can't move you." and told me that I needed to have someone cover my lease. I have never met such an incompetent landlord in my life. The front office is so incredibly rude and needs to learn basic customer service skills. They're always shutting off the water and also one time they even turned off the parking garage gate! I couldn't get to work that day which pissed me off. Maintenance sucks because they come in and "fix" it but it's never truly fixed. I've given up on trying to get the air conditioner/heater working. I never even turn it on because it's a lost cause. Also the walls are paper thin and I could always hear my neighbor's music and I could also hear people in the courtyard. The worst part of Aztec Corner is that management will come into your apartment without you knowing. It is a clear invasion of privacy and quite frankly that is why I never keep any valuables in the apartment. To anyone reading STAY AWAY. Aztec Corner literally robs you close to $800 (in my case $830) a month to SHARE a room. You can get a huge single room anywhere else for $800. Living here is my biggest regret in college. read more

Absolutely worst living experience of my life. Disgusting living quarters. Constant water problems and the staff isn't that helpful. Needs to be heavily redone and the paint job didn't help. Sooooooo over priced. Don't live here friendly warning. read more

Aztec Corner is not as bad as all of these other reviews make it seem. Yes it is not the newest or best apartment complex around, but it isn't all too bad. It is a bit run down and old though. I have experienced some issues with the air conditioning system being broken, the couches were dirty when we moved in, the water gets shut off a lot for repair and the elevators aren't too reliable. My favorite thing about this apartment is that we are so close to campus. It takes less than ten minutes to walk to campus. Also they throw fun little events for holidays where they hand out free food. Printing is also free. It's not the best place to live, but it is one of the cheapest options close to campus. read more

I love living at Aztec Corner! I just renewed my lease for next year. The location is so close to campus, the facilities/apartments are nice and listed at affordable prices, and the staff here is very attentive, helpful, and kind. Also, the leasing office offers free coffee and printing! I would highly recommend considering living here while studying at San Diego State as it is convenient and comfortable! read more

Alright I was here a week. The management are pricks. He got into my face, physically hit me and spilled my beer. I called the police and they settled it. Never go here. Found cameras in the bathroom,bedroom and living space. read more

This place is bate and switch, they show you a nice model but what you get on move in day is old and dirty and much smaller, really wish we hadn't signed up to move our daughter into this dump!!!! read more

Do not live here. Have experienced way too many problems. In August/September during a heat wave our AC broke, and it took an entire month for them to actually fix it. Not a fun experience. Apartments are old and outdated. Management doesn't take residents seriously, and work orders usually take forever to be dealt with (after numerous phone calls). Wifi sucks, I constantly am switching between all the networks because they are all so slow or just stop working. Both mine and my roommate's cars got broken into within 2 weeks of each other. And we park in the private underground parking garage. Please I am begging you do not make the same mistake I did, go find a better apartment to live in. I am counting down until my lease is up in a few months. read more

If I could give them 0 stars I would. Management is worthless so don't even bother going to them for help. None of them know what they're doing and the head manager is always on "conference calls." It takes days for a simple service request to be taken care of. I had a roommate from hell and management was no help at all. They knew about the unwanted freeloader in my apartment yet they did not get off their ass to do something about it. The only thing they care about is if you give them a check for overpriced rent every month. Rent is way too much for the shitty quality of these apartments. Stay far away from Aztec Corner and take your money somewhere else. read more

Get the hell out of there!!!!!! Go to Albert's Apartments. To this day I check all apartments before moving in for roaches. My first day of move in I grabbed my keys and checked my room was empty but had trash on the floor. I brushed it off and left for the moving truck. Later that night I returned and saw what appeared to be things moving on the wall. I turned on the lights to see roaches on the counters, walls and sofa it was disgusting. Management used their company all he did was use roach bait and said call again after ten days he will come back out if the problem has not resolved. 10 days? After day five of complaining and taking pictures they finally let me use Terminix. Turns out roaches laid eggs throughout the apartment carpet and got in through a hole in the wall behind the stove. Fun Fact: Each roach sack on average holds 50 eggs, and we had at least 20 eggs in our apartment. (I learned that from the exterminator.) The exterminator told us since the apartment was heavily infested our apartment would be more at risk for infestations. Over the ordeal I requested I was relocated to another apartment unit. I was assigned to live with three other ladies. Two of them were awesome but our other roommate not so much. I wish their was some type of screening process because she was a night mare. During her birthday our room was broken into while we were asleep, our door was locked, but Aztec corner uses cheap door material for the bedrooms so our door broke that same day. Since it occurred in the evening maintenance was not available. We called police in the morning and she was questioned she said she didn't know his name and had fallen asleep so she didn't see what happened. We lost 2 computers, an iPod, pepper spray, an iPhone, and all of our DVDs. Management said since she was not directly involved they could not do anything. They replaced our door, but would not give us a key for our door, so I had my friend install a new door knob. Eventually the roommate stopped paying rent and was not evicted until June. Our lease was over in August.....It was a year lease.....I was told if I moved out I would be breaking my lease and they were "making progress on evicting her." Are you kidding me?!?!?! The icing on the cake was the same guy who grabbed her bags to help her leave my roommate said it was the same guy who robbed us. :/ I eventually stopped sleeping their and was not compensated for anything even though I made complaints and spoke to their directors. So as a warning find a place that is professional, has sturdy equipment and a company that will care of their residents. This was years ago but why live in a place who does business like this? read more

Literally the worst experience of my life. I have mild asthma after inhaling the residue of the mountains of mold at Aztec corner. I also have popped holes in my feet while walking around barefoot due to ripped up carpet. Not to mention I was also charged for a replacement carpet when it was NOT damaged during my lease. read more

Honestly not as bad as the reviews said. Free water is super chill but some neighbors can be loud. All-in-all not terrible. If you want more privacy, try and get a house.​ read more

Living in Aztec corner now and this definitely a "college apartment complex." Not amazing amenities but will do the job. Things break or need little tweaks quite often like the drains in bathtubs, lighting fixtures and wifi connection. Make sure you thoroughly look through apartment when doing the inspection when you first move and mark EVERYTHING even if it's only a little damaged. Otherwise it is an awesome apartment complex, all neighbors very friendly, super close to campus you can roll out of bed and walk onto campus. If you can, I'd definitively recommend living somewhere else if you have the option for sure. read more

To be honest after reading all the bad reviews of Aztec Corner I was more than a little nervous when it came to moving in but I ended up being so happy with my living situation. First off the apartment is super close to campus so I can wake up 30 minutes before class and not be late. The apartments are actually pretty nice. They arent as updated as some of the other apartments around here but for the price its great. I have plenty of space and once I decorated my apartment I loved it even more. I was definitely a little scared about being roommate matched because I've had nightmarish problems with that in the past but Aztec Corner did a really great job of matching me and I love love loooooove my roommate. Honestly if you're looking for a convenient place to live near campus with cheap rent that you can make into your own, Aztec Corner is a good place to look. read more

DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE ONLINE! My daughter ended up with an old apartment - dirty carpet-no wood floors, old appliances, dirty crusty blue couch(not leather as shown online) there was no screen on her bedroom window, moldy bathroom (which they came days later to fix and then they didn't have a bathroom for a few days) backed up kitchen sink, garbage disposal still doesn't work right. The mattresses were stained and disgusting. If you still decide to live there, be very specific as to what you want. They told me I didn't ask when I complained. So ask for an updated apartment, be specific which floor, balcony, type of furniture flooring, and appliances. Good luck! read more

This place is actually so shitty and looks nothing like the model apartment you view when touring. The gates are always broken, the elevator is super janky, and there was multiple break ins last year. The apartment itself was filthy when I moved in and everything always broke (blinds fell down literally every single day). Also got charged for a bunch of things that were "broken" or "missing" even though they weren't. However there was no way to prove it so we still got charged. If you can, choose paseo instead. read more

My daughter goes to SDSU and lives here and I have seen and experienced very differently from these poor reviews. Yes you have to sign a lease and yes I'm the gaurantor, but how else are you going to be held accountable to pay the rent? They run a business so I get it. Place is pretty clean from what I can tell and I think they have remodeled? Kids are always nice in the front and so far no problems at all! I recommend as a parent. read more

DO NOT LIVE AT AZTEC CORNER. I am appalled at the conditions in my apartment unit; it seems that everything has at some point broken and needed to be fixed. However, there are only THREE maintenance staff on call. I moved here this August and my air conditioning has been broken for almost three weeks now, throughout the hottest days of the summer. If you consider living here, I highly recommend reading over the lease agreement...which is a joke in itself. You are liable for EVERYTHING breaking or damaged in your apartment. However, If you are looking for careless, scam artist management and poor living conditions...this is your place! read more

This is one of the worst places to live in on campus, if not THE worst. First of all you got the god awful back alley. This alley is not only home to crackheads who like to go through the trash every morning, but it also echoes everything from the former theta chi house all the way down to the pike house. While it has improved since theta chi got evicted, it is still so loud at night it makes me want to scream. The frat bros who live in Paseo love to throw parties that echo all throughout the alley, and then you have the lovely drunk girls who love to scream and yell! Now let's start with the apartments themselves. The carpet is disgusting I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be cream or off white, but when I moved in it was gray and brown. The dishwasher floods and the day I moved in there was blood and a gigantic moth in the bathtub. You're not allowed to have anything fun on the balcony like a hammock. You're also not allowed to have pets, but the guy who lives above us has one and is allowed to because he works here. How is that fair at all? Not to mention my friends paid about $800/a month when they lived here, but now that it's a part of campus I have to pay 1300/a month. This place is terrible and doesn't even deserve one star. read more

I love living here! There's free printing and coffee in the front office every day and everyone is so nice! The front desk staff are mainly students and the sweetest people ever. Management is so helpful and friendly and have made living in my first apartment the best experience. I highly recommend living here- I don't know why there are such bad reviews but I haven't had any of those problems. The distance from campus is also so convenient! I'm living here again next year because it's the best apartment deal so close to SDSU. read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. This is the absolute worst place to live. No customer service, crappy furniture, everything's broken, they claim they clean before every year but when we moved in there was BUNNY SHIT all over the place. Not chill, the gate was broken for an entire semester, the fire alarm goes off every time you open the oven, the blinds break if you touch them. THIS PLACE FUCKING BLOWS read more

I have lived here for a while. Positives: All utilities are included except electricity, fully furnished apartments, big apartments 1000 square feet, and indoor tandem parking. Negatives: It is very difficult to get sleep here Thursday through Saturday. There always a party or someone screaming in the complex. In addition there is a lot of noise from the street that you can hear from whereever your apartment is. Also the amenities of the facility are run down and you have a lot of spoiled kids living the complex that seem to break everything including the elevator, washer and dryers. Management is nice they do the best with what they have. In addition they enter your apartment on almost a biweekly time period in which they say they need to do preventive maintenance. Which sounds like BS. read more

They are very shady with their charges. Try to double charge roommates, make up excuses that aren't verified to take your security deposit. When there is a monetary issue, the manager becomes unavailable. Avoid this place. read more

They won't even help you line up a room mate. Instead they ask you to sign a lease for two times the regular cost. So if no room mate materializes you're stuck with the full cost. Unfriendly attitude. They advertise room mate matching service and individual leases. False advertising. read more
