The team at Canyon Park is very responsive, friendly and professional. Personally want to thank the ladies in the office Aunikka, Tina and Adriana who are always so helpful. I can't forget the amazing maintenance Sal and Peter for their amazing service. I enjoy living here for the location and community! Great place! read more

Have been here for 5 years. Love the area, central to everything. Love maintenance people, they are the best, always very helpful no complaint there. BUT ..! If you're planning on moving here there's some things that you need to consider. These are very old buildings. In the time I've been here I've had a flood on the kitchen, whole wall had to be open by the sink, termites from the wood in the bedroom closets, mouse infestation ( which takes forever to get fixed ), leak on roof and so on. Apartments are big enough for 2 people as I live in a 2 bedroom /1.5 bathroom. Still have the same carpet which basically the under pad is basically vanished, it's like I'm walking in wood, apartments won't change it, so it is what it is.... It doesn't matter how many people live in the apartment and lease, you only get one assigned parking, which to me is ridiculous, they will tow your car haha if you leave it more than 48hrs in same spot in the permit area or street.. what if you're going away on vacation??? This place is a quick for now if you're looking for a quick place, but it comes with the cons. Amenities.... Gym is horrible haha.... Pool is good and jacuzzi.... Laundromat... machines are always broken. read more

I've lived at Canyon Park for several years now. That is entirely for the location. Appliances are old, things will break and be replaced as cheaply as possible. Not to fault the maintenance staff who are friendly and do a great job for what they are given. The management is the true area where Canyon Park falls flat. The staff often leaves the office unattended for 4+ hours during the work day without leaving another contact number, or calling back when they return. Aunika is an extremely rude and unpleasant person to interact with. While the rest of the staff seems to still be getting their bearings on how to respond to basic questions from tenants, they are generally very pleasant and will put in the effort to find the answers they need. read more

I have always found Canyon Park to be perfect for my apartment needs. The location has you close to all of the main freeways, and all your shopping needs are very close. I am probably a little more fortunate as my apartment location is on the canyon with a great view. The entire management team led by Adriana and her assistant managers Aunika and Tina are fantastic! They are always eager to help with all of my needs and because of my longevity here there tends to be several. The maintenance team are few, but they always take care of every need. They are very good and very versatile at what they do. The landscape crew does a remarkable job and are always very pleasant. I have enjoyed the first 33 years, and I am sure the future will be just as good. read more

The maintenance guys do a great job - they're always quick, polite, and really know what they're doing when something breaks in the apartment. The girls at the front desk are super nice too - always smiling, sweet, and easy to talk to. I honestly enjoy stopping by to chat with them; they're always quick to help and get things sorted out. Only once did I have to deal with a rude lady who was clearly having a bad day. That's the good part. Now for the not-so-good news: the pools are constantly dirty and barely ever cleaned. The parking lots are a mess - full of potholes, mud, and standing water. The leasing office never warns anyone about the massive, ugly power towers hiding behind the fence nearby. All year long, there's always some kind of maintenance going on - one month they're closing the hot tub, the next they're fixing the roof (so it's noisy and dusty), then they're pressure-washing the walls or doing random inspections. It feels like there's something every single month, so don't expect peace and quiet here. On top of that, there are a bunch of ridiculous rules - like not being allowed to hang Christmas or Halloween decorations on your door (seriously?!) or having to remove plants from your own balcony (why even have one then?). And yet, the rent prices are as high as places with way better amenities. read more

The community is simple, comfortable, and very convenient. The location is great, the office staff are super nice and helpful, and maintenance requests are always handled quickly. It's a pleasant and worry-free place to live. I really like it here. read more

The management staff at Canyon Park are amazing. Nicole and the other employees are so responsive and helpful. The processes to apply, make payments, and move in are simple and professional. We were able to do almost everything online. Maintenance issues are fixed very quickly, and they helped install and implement extra security measures when an issue arose. They really care! The location is also amazing. The balcony and upstairs bedroom overlook a beautiful canyon, and the apartment is so close to the bus stop for UCSD and the trolley station. I highly recommend this complex! read more

The location and price makes this area perfectly convenient for both a single working adult living in a one bedroom, or a couple sharing either a 1 or 2 BR, with Qualcomm and Sorento Valley and asst Health Systems in the area. But then you have these groups of up to seven 20 year old students who somehow got approved to live here, and they typically share the one of the 2 bedroom apartment layouts while school is in session. I'm making 6 figures, living smaller than i could because i like to travel. But I'm considering moving to a 2 bedroom unit somewhere just so there's one less for them. So can't have grown adults with jobs and schedules trying to live amongst kids crammed into the same units without problems. I can't really blame the student for being... well.. kids. We all were that age once. I remember my college days well, and realizing that a room-mate situation is WAY cheaper than paying to live in the dorms, so I did it myself. But I DON'T remember anyone turning the dining room into their bedroom, 2 people sharing bedrooms with anyone, or needing to hang bed sheets up as room dividers for privacy. Either UCSD needs to provide more affordable housing, or all the rental communities in this neighborhood are going to turn into mini-dorms, just in time for that new shiny trolley to open and start shuttling in the excess homeless people from downtown, turning a neighborhood that's already on the brink of becoming sketchy. Every night I can hear my upstairs neighbors moving furniture around between 10 and 12, probably turning their futons and pull out couches into beds. Not to mention the constant foot traffic. Which wouldn't be so bad if a normal number of people lived there. I swear there's at least 5 people living in above me, and of course half of them have boyfriends or girlfriends staying over, so all the guest parking I was so impressed with in July is long gone. Meanwhile I'm in a in my 30's, working from home a lot: in tech - like most people up here - and we need to be able to think and attend Zoom meetings, instead of always clicking mute thanks to all these extra people coming and going and dropping stuff and skipping classes to watch TV . read more

I enjoyed the time I spent during my six month lease. Location is unbeatable very close to ucsd and walking distance to UTC mall. I would get five stars but guest parking is only available on the street other than that the staff was extremely accommodating to me during rough times. Shout out to Nicole who was always very helpful in the administrative office. read more

Had a wonderful experience living in Canyon Park, Leilani and Patty were very helpful and easily reachable. maintenance staff was easy to reach, sometimes they can be reached without even a written request. Lived there close to three years, 'Thanks everyone in their staff and Management. Thank you so much Leilani. You are such a great person, always an example to give someone. Units are quiet spacing and big. Deepak read more

This is a terrible spot to live. The management is totally in chaos. My parking lot has been kept being occupied by other cars since I moved in, they even assigned my parking lot to a new tenant which I have never encountered before. The office lady is super rude, she hangs up my phone and was really upset with me when I tried to tell her about some issues with my apartment. read more

We toured these apartments with Nicole and had a great experience. She was very sweet and helpful.

The staff, Patty and Leilani, are friendly and very easy to deal with They easily made living at Canyon Park an enjoyable and pleasurable experience. We will definitely miss them. Pete and sal (all the maintenance guys really) fixed any and all issues we had with the apartment. Their answering service could be a bit better read more

Oh boy, they really tried to screw us when we moved out. They literally tried to charge us to have full walls retextured and painted, for standard nail holes. I second the advice someone else gave: Know your rights as a renter. Living here was fine otherwise. No guest parking, but towing company shows up pretty quickly if you have to report someone who parks in your spot. (Only had to do it once) The complex is fairly close to public transportation, so pretty popular for UCSD students, although far enough away that it is pretty quiet. The gym is small, with only a few machines. There are two pools, although in the two years I lived there, one of them always seemed to be closed. read more

First, the manager's quick response is a good sign of improved management. Second, there is one more pro, as some other reviewers pointed out, if your apartment is on the edge of the canyon, you'll enjoy the view (and less noise and dust as well). Speaking of the canyon, hiking there in a sunny morning was fun. Third, just to be fair, all neighbor communities suffer from traffic and trolley construction noises and limited parking space. If I were to live in those apartments, I would not give them five stars either... read more

The place is nice and at a good location. The ongoing construction is not great but I can live Ruth it. The the maintenance is really bad and slow. Most of the washers and dryers don't work. The pictures are representative of the laundry rooms. I am really upset read more

Canyon Park - Laundry room at canyon park. The lack of maintenance is unacceptable. - Apartments Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

After living here for ~8 years, I can say Canyon Parks is overall a great place to live. The location is perfect for students since UCSD and UTC are nearby. It's an even shorter walk to these locations thanks to the newly built trolley, which can take you even further. These apartments are also located close to places we like to go to like walks on the beach in La Jolla or drink some boba in Convoy. Besides location, what really makes this place stand out is a sense of community and friendliness thanks to the staff like Leilani and Patty. They're caring and there for you when you need them. For instance, Patty would even bring to our attention things like recalled dog food and how to look out for it when we got our puppy. She also made sure we were also aware of parvo nearby, so our puppy doesn't get sick. Leilani is also funny and kind. We have good conversations whenever I see her. She has also helped me with things like lost keys and did her best to make things easy for me and give me peace of mind. She is also really helpful in explaining in detail all the paper work and any questions I had. They're both funny and on occasions even give valuable life lessons and tricks. They really do try their best in all shapes and forms for all the folks living here. The maintenance staff is also cool too like Pete and Sal. These guys are chill and always friendly to our dog. Whenever there is need of maintenance they do a prompt, but thorough job. If I had to give a weakness, I would say it's the laundry room. Some of the machines in the laundry room has either weak dryers or issues with washers. They will get fixed, but it seems like every few months it needs fixing again. Pros: * Location (University, mall, beach, foodie places) * Staff * Trolley * Rent Price * Pet friendly (nice area for walks and trash bags) Cons: * Laundry machines (sometimes weak dryers or issues with washers) read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. When we first moved in everything was fine, but when things start needing maintenance, staff is slow and barely any help. We went 2.5 weeks without WiFi because of a wiring problem in the buildings. Didn't get an reimbursement for our bill which we pay 70 bucks for a month. Toilets were crap. Kept overflowing and every time maintenance came they couldn't find a problem. Had to clean up toilet water off the floor about 5 times. The worst is when you move out. They have a last apt check, but won't even come during your scheduled time. They come when you're not home and it's shady. They said we had pet stains and charged us 1500 for the damage. We didn't even have a pet first of all. Second of all, there was no proof there were any stains that belonged to our apt. All we got was a picture of some carpet that was thrown outside in the parking lot. Apt mates and I left emails and voicemails about it. Never got a call back at all. Then we got a bill from a debt collector?! How the heck are you going to bill us for something we didn't do and then ignore our calls when we try to talk to you about it. So stupid and unprofessional. DON'T GET SCAMMED. when you first move in they'll say "only people who were unhappy post bad yelp reviews, but we're fair and there's a lot of people who are happy living here". Yeah freaking right. I'd stay away from this place. Cheap rent isn't worth being screwed over in the end. UPDATE: Thank you specifically to Leilani. She was the only person who took the time to help us out instead of passing us around to other staff who would not return our calls. She talked with my friend and believed us, working to give us back part of our deposit. Go to her first if you need anything. read more

Great Front office. Leilani and Patty are extremely polite and helpful. Great location right by I-5 and Westfield Mall. Support staff is really nice. Would recommend to anyone moving to San Diego area. read more

Update: They apologized and sent back the application fee too.

I gave the complex 5 stars because it fulfills our own requirements. The pros and cons are transparent. Hope you can have a firm decision after you read my review. Rent: For about 1800 bucks we got a 2b1.5b apartment while you needed to pay for 2400ish for other places within 2 miles from the core of UCSD campus (in 2016 summer, now it is about 1900 here while 2700 for most of places). It was, by my personal experience, the least expensive complex near UCSD. Location: Walking distance to UCSD is among the closest, depending on where your apartment is, it takes about 30 minutes. But there is no shading on the way. Not very convenient for the bus; the nearest 201/202 stop is 10 minutes away. There is a UCSD Shuttle stop 5 minutes away and we were usually taking the shuttle. Close to UTC; only 10 minutes walking. For the convenient location and the affordable rent, many UCSD students are living here. Environment: The complex is located between the busy Genesee Avenue and a beautiful valley. So it really depends on which unit you rent. The temperature in a room facing west can hike up to 100 degrees in the afternoon, and if there is no building between the room and the street, the noise from the traffic is not negligible. And they don't allow you to install the window film unless you install it smoothly. The east-facing rooms are much better, and if you are on the edge of the canyon, you can really enjoy the view and cool air from the canyon. Floor plan: We really liked the two-story design of the apartments! Living (very large), dining and kitchen are on the first floor while two bedrooms are on the second floor. You also get a full bath on the upper floor while a half one on the lower floor! Can't believe this is only for 1800 a month! Construction: There are trolley constructions along Genesee Avenue. Not very recommended if you are sensitive to the noise. (Still, depending on the location in the complex.) Parking: Each apartment has only one parking place and there is no visitor parking. This can be a problem for guests. There are bike racks but you are not allowed to park your bike elsewhere. Although the construction noise and parking are evident disadvantages, the officers told us honestly when we were asking for a quote. Staff: The staff is honest and helpful and the manager is very nice. Facilities: They have two swimming pools. That's good. The gym is small and boring but they do have one. The common room is upscale and we really enjoyed the billiard table. There are three laundry rooms and they charge you laundry and drying for about $2 each time. But I think they should upgrade the machines since they are only accepting quarter coins right now. read more

I recently relocated to San Diego for work, and I was very fortunate to find an opening at this wonderful apartment complex. Centrally located near UCSD, these apartments offer stunning canyon views, two pools, and a fitness center! The prices are reasonable for the area, and the units are beautifully finished. All in all, this is a great option for students, families, and young professionals alike. Special thanks to Leilani and Patty in the front office. They were exceptionally friendly and greatly assisted me in the rental process! read more

I lived here for a year, special shoutout to the maintenance guys as they were extremely helpful and nice. I particularly appreciate Peter Taitague as he was extremely courteous and mindful of our customs when coming into our home for repairs. read more

The laundry is really unacceptable. Most of the machines are out of work. But there isn't notice on the machines to remind the users. After I put coins into the dryer and push the starting button,but the dryer doesn't work at all. And I cannot get my coins back. It does waste my money, waste my time, and make my crazy. Last time I tried five dryers, but only one worked(I must put coins into the dryer for every try and can't get the coins back). IT IS TOO BAD!!! I live in canyon park on Genesee Ave in San Diego. read more

The management are very friendly and nice people. Broken laundry machines are fixed very timely, and so are all of our maintenance requests.

horrible experience. i lived here for 2 years while attending UCSD and from the get go i had nothing but problems. There was mold growing on the bathroom ceiling and around the windows and back door. I called to have maintenece come clean it and had to wait several weeks for that to happen. I emailed the front office about 5 times and called nearly a dozen before i recieved any help, the property manager (lelani) told me to put some elbow grease in and clean it up. Moving out was the best thing that had happened since moving here to san diego. P.S dont expect to get your deposit back they will overcharge you for every little thing, my advice would be if you do decide to move in to this complex, get very familiar with renters rights so you can attempt to get some money back when move out time does arrive read more

The amenities are satisfactory, but what I appreciate most is the maintainance staff, especially Oscar and Pedro. They are always working throughout the week, are also incredibly friendly and makes me feel very welcomed here. Their work is prompt, their work is flexible for request, and I always enjoy any conversations I have with them any time in passing and they are available in their workday. read more

The apartments were priced affordably for students. More so than that though, the agent at the leasing office, Leilani, took really good care of me as I was moving out and it's a shame I didn't get to know her earlier. read more

The safety checking and maintenance services are very professional and friendly. Thanks to manager and staffs. read more

The complex is really nice and well maintained, and the office staff is amazing! So friendly and helpful!

One star is the maximum I can give to it, actually I am thinking is it still too high? I never have problems with the leasing office before. Here, I break my rules... Everything is a rainbow when you first walk in and sign a lease with them, then as time goes by, you will learn who they truly are... First, they are extremely unprofessional; always treat people rudely when you ask for the packages, maintenance, especially the property manager, Leilani. BTW, the maintenance requests were normally responded in two or three days even it was kind of emergency (like, sink clogged, no power, etc). You know what's their explanation? "Oh, we only have two maintenance stuff, and today's schedule is full..." Second, open your eyes, they take every opportunity to take advantage of your ignorance. They constantly made mistake in utility charges. I had a really bad experience about the arguing about that. I came to the leasing office more than three times to fix their mistake in calculating the water fee, and of course, they charged more... They promised to fix the bug in utility charge bill when we talked face to face, but when I left, several days passed, NOTHING was done, they kept to charge us the WRONG bill!! I am extremely upset at their callous amplitude. If you have other option, run away from it!!!! PS, as a remind, the washer machines in laundry room are completely out of time, I guess them are more than 10 years old... and you want to make your clothes clean by using them is basically a dream... Rent is keeping rising as all the other cheat apt. read more

My wife and I lived at Canyon Park for the last three years and it was a comfortable home for us. We found the rent affordable, the location convenient, and the staff friendly. I was studying at UCSD and it was an easy trip to campus via the nearby campus shuttle bus stop. My wife worked south of where we lived and enjoyed traveling opposite of traffic. The nearby mall is walking distance and a great place to get food. We had several choices of nearby grocery stores, parks, and beaches. We enjoyed the easy access to our apartment with an outside front door as well as back sliding door. Our nieces and nephews had lots of fun in the pool/spa which was always kept clean. The grounds were well kept and full of beautiful trees, plants, and flowers. The apartment complex is old but we found it comfortable. While we had our share of issues, whenever we needed something the staff was responsive and helpful. We will miss the staff and especially the manager Leilani who was wonderful to us and made living at Canyon Park a pleasure. read more

We lived here for five years. Manager was great and always accommodating. We moved in on a very good rate and were impressed by how clean they kept the common spaces. Great location close to the five, and the right direction for commuting down town during the week. read more

Terrible place. I wouldnt recommend any ucsd students or anyone else to live here. Absolutly one of the worst places in san diego to live in. THERES NO VISITOR PARKING AND YOU ONLY GET ONE PARKING SPACE PER APARTMENT.. thats insane, how is it that you cant have visitors, also construction on genessee is horrific, please dont live here, save your money, look elsewhere. I'm moving to another place because its stressful and they tow your car without notice so if guest appear, they will tow their vehicle, please see this review, its honest and I'm moving. I hate this place, o wish i could give it 0 star read more

The management staff at Canyon Park Apartments is excellent! Ms. Leilani and Ms. Patty provide amazing help with getting settled in, and they are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The complex itself is very quiet and clean, not to mention, it's so close to UCSD, lots of food places and stores, and the Westfield Mall. Overall, for me, having a friendly and helpful management was important in looking for apartments, and I must say, Canyon Park apartments does a very good job of that. Just make sure you understand all of the apartment's rules and abide by them. Many people who have bad experiences with any apartment complex do so because they usually overlook the guidelines. So overall, 1) friendly management, 2) quiet and well maintained property, 3) GREAT location (near UCSD and many shops) 4) you will have a good experience (given you also try to be a good tenant). Would definitely recommend the Canyon Park Apartments. read more

We lived at the Canyon Park apartment complex for about four years now. I love it here, the staff are friendly, helpful and supportive. They go out of their way to help me. While I am at school to pick-up my son, they'll have my mother-in-law at the office and even offer her snacks. Ms. Lailanie and Ms. Patty Rivas are so wonderful even the maintenance staff. We highly recommend these Place. We really really love it. read more

The apartment complex common area are well maintained . every unit has one reserved parking which is well respected due to being enforced and if you have additional car they will provide you with ext. stickers so you can park in unreserved spaces which are first come first serve. the maintenance is efficient.They show up on schedule and usually at the same date you reported the problem. Our dishwasher broke down and they immediately replaced it with in a day. The management is very nice and helpful and Miss melania and patty which i have dealt with many times have always tried their best to help resolve the problem fast and genuinely want to make you feel comfortable in your place . The locations proximity to both interstate 5 and 805 is very convenient. There are trolley construction going on in our area but is not too bad and is not such a big inconvenience . The apartment is a two bed room two story unit and is quite roomy and comfortable. The rent is very reasonable with a bit over $1800.00 for two bedroom in this area which is a few hundred lower than similar apartment complexes in tis area and most of them don't even have a dishwasher which is a big convenience. They are pet friendly also . All in all we are very happy with our place here and i would like give them a five star highly recommended read more

My roommate and I lived at Canyon Park for around ten months. Maintenance requests were always filled super fast - usually within a day or so, which was great. Management was always willing to help when we raised concerns too! Parking was manageable, even if we did have two cars. Make sure you take pictures of your apartment when you move in - Canyon Park will take into account all the damages you list upon move in! Overall, it was a pretty comfortable ten months! Thanks Canyon Park! :) read more

This place sucks I've lived here for a year an half. I've had my car broken into twice and have had my cars towed three times seems like there more worried about towing peoples cars then having security for theft. I know three others that live here that have also had the same issues. I've seen 4 cars on jack stands due to people steeling there wheels off as well this place sucks. read more

This place should be a LAST RESORT ONLY. There's mold growing everywhere, our appliances were always breaking down on us, and they made us pay for EVERY LITTLE THING when we moved out. Also they act like your best friend when you're applying to move in, but forget your face the moment you sign with them. Here's the $$$ breakdown. $60- 1 amenity key and main key not returned (YES WE DID) $260- 1/5 Carpet replacement (we steam cleaned the carpets when we left) $50- clean mildew off of walls and ceilings (they just paint over it and hopes it grows back so the next tenant can pay for it) $130- Turnover cleaning (we already paid for professional cleaning when we left) $168- Turnover paint; Resident pays 1/3 (we didn't put anything on the walls and, again, we already had profession cleaning) So even though our deposit was already $800, we still had about $160 left pay when we had the rest of our rent and utilities accounted for. But don't worry! They'll send you a lovely letter saying that they'll send you right over to the collections agency and ruin your credit for life. Tl:dr- Say goodbye to $1000 from the get go. Not worth. read more
