I lived at The Meadows for a little over three years, and I genuinely don't think I could have…read morelucked into a better place to live in the Bay Area. What made The Meadows so great was the combination of the people, the property, and the location. The management and maintenance teams were wonderful throughout my time here, the community was friendly, and the grounds were always exceptionally clean and beautifully maintained. There's a ton of greenery throughout the property, and it always felt like the people taking care of the community genuinely cared about making it a nice place to live. That experience started before I even moved in. The leasing staff took the time to understand what I was looking for and helped me find a unit that fit my preferences. They were even gracious enough to work with me on getting a better deal. Looking back, that first interaction was a pretty good indication of how I'd be treated over the next three years. I also really appreciated how reasonable management was when it came to renewals. Even with the rent-control limits on annual increases, my rent generally went up by less than what they could have charged. I never felt like management was trying to squeeze as much as possible out of existing residents, which unfortunately isn't something I can say about every apartment community in the Bay Area. Maintenance was excellent too, although, honestly, the fact that I only had a single maintenance request in more than three years probably says something on its own. When I did need help, everyone I interacted with was friendly and helpful. The Meadows is also easily one of the cleanest apartment communities I've ever seen. When I moved in, it was obvious that they had put real care into preparing and cleaning the unit. As someone who is pretty particular about keeping my own home clean, I appreciated that. I noticed the same attention to detail when I moved out and saw the cleaning checklist they use to prepare apartments for the next resident. It was surprisingly close to the kind of checklist I'd make myself. My apartment had wonderful natural light and became an incredibly cozy home for me. I faced the expressway, and while there was a small amount of road noise, it was never enough to really bother me. More than anything, I loved coming home every day. That may be the simplest and most important compliment I can give a place where I spent more than three years. The location was great as well. There are restaurants and grocery stores nearby, plenty of good routes for running and walking, and it's incredibly easy to get onto highways. The property itself also has great amenities, and I particularly appreciated how well the gym was maintained. Despite being so conveniently located, the community always felt comfortable and safe. I never felt uneasy living or walking around here. There were also community events throughout the year that brought residents together. I certainly didn't go to every one, but I appreciated that they existed and that management put real effort into making The Meadows feel like a community rather than just a collection of apartments. Even moving out was surprisingly easy. Everything was handled professionally and straightforwardly, without unnecessary stress or surprises. It was nice that my last experience with the management team was just as positive as my first. The only reason I moved was because I wanted to live in a different part of the Bay Area. It had nothing to do with The Meadows itself. Over the years I visited plenty of other apartment communities where friends and coworkers lived, and I honestly never came away wishing I had chosen somewhere else. It's rare to leave an apartment feeling genuinely sad to go, but The Meadows really became home for me. I looked forward to coming home every day, and I'm incredibly happy I stayed as long as I did. (ps. videos are from the day I moved out; the place looks even better after they take a pass before the next tenant's move in)

My wife and I really love the place, and wanted to renew our contract when it is time to. That is until today. I'm not a great cook but I'm adequate and know my way around the kitchen. I tried to fry a scallion pancake with an egg today, and turned on the range hood under the microwave, that is also above the stove to the lower setting; like how I always have done over the years for the same food. It's not deep fry, so normally no need to turn it to the biggest setting. A few minutes later, the fire alarm rang. I looked up and saw light white smoke, which the range hood should have sucked up. My food was just turning a golden brown color, which means it's perfectly cooked. I am really pissed off that the range didn't do its job and that in turn made the fire alarm go off. This is just one of those things that makes or breaks the experience. Why the hell would you have a gas based stove paired with such a low suction powered range hood?! It's common sense that when you have a lower powered range hood, you should pair it with an electric stove top. When you have a gas based real fire stove top, you need to have a higher powered range hood. Who designed this shit for the apartment!? That individual/company need to be fired! That is just unsafe practice and a lack of common sense.

I lived at Springwood from 2013 to 2017, and then moved in again, living there from March 2018 to…read moreSeptember 2022. I wish I could write a better review but I'm so disappointed by what was previously a great place to rent. The buildings are quite dated and the updates that have been made are of the cheapest quality. The old carpeting in the buildings was replaced last year...we all thought what had been placed was the liner and the installation people would be returning to lay the actual carpet. No...the carpet is just that thin and it causes sound to reverberate through the halls. The vinyl flooring in some units is cheap quality and poorly installed, so that it's constantly lifting. They continue to permit cigarette smoking on patios and balconies, and public areas around the site, which means there's smoke coming in through the windows, patio/balcony doors, and vents, regardless of whether you smoke. The complex spent three years and a lot of money to update the property, with the pool and hot tub, bbq area, and clubhouse were all unavailable during this time. The big reveal after all the work reflected that the only thing changed for residents was a nicer bbq area. The pool and hot tub, and all the chaises, tables, and umbrellas are the same that have been there since my initial residency. The clubhouse, which is only open during the management's working hours (unless reserved for a private event), is gorgeous but the main change is a remodel of the office space. The management and facilities staff are the only people who use the "clubhouse," and in great part due to the hours it's accessible as well as the fact that whenever someone goes in there, it feels as if you're interrupting the office staff having their breaks, hanging out and snacking, etc. All the parking spots were redesignated this past year as "assigned" spots, in a clear attempt to increase income for the management company. Residents must pay an additional fee monthly to reserve a spot, covered or not, and there are virtually no unassigned spots for additional resident cars or guests. The office staff regularly "patrol" the parking area for parkers who aren't "registered" and when discovering someone, send an email blast to the entire community calling out the car's identifying details and threatening to have the vehicle towed within a certain number of minutes if it's not moved. During weekends, the Springwood staff tend to park in the spots reserved for "new residents." Management sends email frequently admonishing residents that they've "been told" they cannot have anything on their balconies/patios, hallways, lobbies, etc. as if the residents are young children. I don't like when people break rules meant to ensure people's enjoyment of their rented home either, but there's a way to do this respectfully and a way to make people feel bad. When there are problems with the laundry room machines, the office staff will not assist. The response is that they haven't been trained on how to use the equipment or its software and residents have to contact the vendor (which never seems to result in a response). A dryer has been non-functional for months but despite numerous requests, the management staff have done nothing to ensure that it's repaired or replaced. With only 4 washers and 4 dryers per building, having one out of order creates a difficult situation for residents trying to do their laundry. On the plus side, the maintenance staff are without exception friendly and responsive. The apartments are in a great location and the people living there are generally quite nice, but there are few amenities and the management staff sometimes make residents feel like interlopers.

Mixed results: This place has so much potential, but …read more.. Any corporate managed apartment is not going to be perfect. Nor did I expect it to be. I'm giving Ironworks a review after living here for over a year. Hoping to see some progress. If you're considering this please proceed with caution. From the beginning... We rented a unit site unseen (don't make that mistake in their sales pitch). Someone was still living in it, but the timing was right for when we wanted to move in and I thought we came to a reasonable deal with the rate, and we were double assured the furnishings & equipment were the same from the model we toured to our new unit (you can see where this is going). We opted for taking an 18-month lease so our life doesn't have constant change/ moving (they refused to offer an 18 month at renewal btw). Then move-in day comes. Our bathroom is 100% different from the model unit they showed us and different than what we were promised in terms of the furnishings. The mirror is just stuck to the wall with a basic wooden frame. Not the touch screen backlit mirror we were shown. Gone was all the marble in the bathtub area replaced with a boring dated beige solid surface. Like being sold a remodeled Marriott bathroom just to check in to a dated Holiday and Express; I was beyond disappointed. Beyond the bathroom, it's clear that there wasn't any executive level walkthrough of this unit prior to our move-in. Paint splatter in areas (at least they did a new paint job), a large gouge on the fake wood floor, a grimy shower head (hello CLR), mildew/hold in the washing machine, multiple kitchen cabinets that weren't aligned correctly to close, in the refrigerator whose ice machine wasn't working and took more maintenance visits than I can count before they got it right... By replacing the full unit. While living here... If you like to use the gym, it looks pretty nice... If the equipment you like is fixed. Many community members asked for things to be fixed which took many weeks, for weeks. The temperature was almost in the '80s as you're trying to work out. (I guess that's good if you like to sweat it out). The water fountain stopped working at a point as well. Again nothing's perfect, things break, but the pace of the care and attention seems quite slow. Late night alarms... Yes, every apartment complex has these most often due to some community member's cooking... And while those occur intermittently, I'm mostly writing about the faulty sensors that have led to more late night evacuations than I can count. I guess it's good to know that Sunnyvale Police department and fire department do have good response time if you need them. Outside...Do you like a rooftop patio? Well this place is good now, but it took 6 months for it to open after it said that it was going to be open. When you pay for the amenities you would like them to be available. The outdoor courtyards are nice... if you get there before the bird poop the piles up on the blue fabric seats. Enjoy bird seed, birds, and bird poop at your front door, we'll you might be in luck if your neighbor drills a bird feeder into the exterior wall of the building directly above you; and management won't take true action to remove it. Loved that time they sent a few emails about external power washing; I moved my many plants inside, moved my fabric outdoor patio furniture; for nothing to ever occur. Everything's not gloom and doom. The physical apartment outside of the bathroom is relatively good... Be ready for that kitchen island to be sinking (not from climate change but I hear everyone's unit has this sagging issue). Maintenance staff are quick to respond when you submit a request. Very much appreciated. The maintenance staff and the office staff are definitely friendly and I do see quality attempts to keep the common areas cleaned up; including grills which I often use. They have some monthly events if you're up for that. And a quite lively LOFT community app where you can see neighbors vent about issues or get the local tea.
