After selling our home of 25 years, we wanted to live in the middle of it all....Civita was our choice. We can walk everywhere yet our apartment is so quiet. The activities Sudberry Properties and Anthony, the Concierge, plans, give us the choice to socialize or stay in nearly every day. After raising a family in a house, it is glorious to be loving this new type of apartment living!!!! Bravo Sudberry Properties, Bravo! read more

This community does not seem to care about its residents. Despite raising concerns respectfully and asking for consideration, construction continues to start as early as 7:00 AM, often unnecessarily. The noise is disruptive and shows a lack of basic regard for the people who live here. I especially feel for families with babies or young children who are being woken up by this. It's disappointing to see so little effort to balance construction needs with the well-being of residents. .... Yes, construction may be permitted to start at 7:00 AM, but choosing to begin heavy, unnecessary work like concrete trucks at that hour shows a lack of judgment and empathy toward the people who live here. Multiple residents have asked, respectfully, for a slightly later start time. Those concerns have been acknowledged but not meaningfully addressed. read more

$4,400 a month for a two-bedroom and this is what you get? The apartment is extremely basic and does not come close to justifying the price. There's nothing "luxury" about it -- it feels cheap, outdated, and thrown together. You can find similar (or better) quality for way less. The walls are paper thin. You can hear everything -- especially the neighbors upstairs constantly stomping like there's no insulation at all. It's honestly exhausting. Amenities are a joke. The pool has been shut down, yet it's still advertised like it's part of what you're paying for. For this price, everything should be fully available and maintained, not "temporarily closed" with no real solution. Overall, this place is wildly overpriced for what it offers. Save your money and look elsewhere -- this is not worth it. read more

The pool has been closed for five months, extending into July, and despite the major inconvenience along with ongoing construction and safety issues, management refuses to offer any rental concessions. This issue, along with a resident-wide petition, was escalated to both the property management company and the owner, and they still refused to act. Tenants who moved in shortly before the pool closure were never notified--so if you're considering this property, make sure you're getting the full story. Rent keeps increasing while amenities decline. I just received a lease renewal increasing my rent, yet management refuses to negotiate fair terms while offering new tenants credits and longer leases, despite the local rental market declining. read more

Just moved to this complex and I've been feeling particularly compelled to leave a review. Circa 37's team made the leasing process seamless and accessible. Alex S., in particular, has been phenomenal through this entire process. He is on top of things, incredibly responsive, and kind, above all else. We were drawn back to this community over and over again, during our apartment search, due to how approachable Alex is and how well he communicated all the nitty gritty details. His knowledge of the community helped us zero in on THE perfect apartment. I will be recommending this community to all my friends and family in the area, emphasizing they should work with Alex. I have lived all over Southern California, including Orange, LA, and San Bernardino county, having rented in most places. Circa 37's leasing team is, by far, the best leasing team I've ever worked with. read more

I love it here. Resident since July 2023 and I still love it. Chris G. was one of the first people I met when I thought of moving to Civita and what a delight! The leasing staff and maintenance staff have always gone above and beyond whenever I needed anything. The response time and professionalism is superb. Multiple, fun events every month makes living at Circa the best. Everything you need is right here. No need to look anywhere else. Xoxo Leela read more

The rent increases at this complex are insane. I don't know anyone who would be comfortable with their rent going up over $250 a year -- especially considering everything you have to deal with living here. If you're considering moving here, be prepared for major rent hikes every year with very little in return. read more

I only lived here a year but had a bad experience. We were overcharged for months on our SDG&E bill because there was an issue with the wiring being connected to the outside electricity. They reimbursed us not there's no way of telling if the calculations were correct. I understand living on the second floor comes with its challenges but my upstairs neighbors made my living situation miserable. You can hear every foot step and dogs running back and forth dropping toys constantly. Also expect to not see any of your deposit when you move it. They charge you for the paint even if it was left it great condition with minimal holes from hanging anything and high cleaning fees even if you left the place spotless. read more

My husband and I love it at Circa 37! We moved from Chicago 1.5 years ago, and we are so thankful to have found Circa 37 as our home. The apartments are extremely well taken care of (maintenance team is top notch and super responsive), the property is beautiful (love the pool & hot tub), it is very dog friendly and everyone that works in the main office is so sweet (and give our dog treats on a daily basis) - special shoutout to Emily who loves our pup! Civita in general is also a great neighborhood to be in with beautiful landscaping and an amazing park nearby - we are so thankful to have found our home here! :) read more

Me and Zed (my 3-year-old golden retriever) love living here! We moved in December 2024 and have truly come to love the community we've called home. Emily Harner, the Leasing Specialist here at Circa 37, was incredibly helpful in getting me into an apartment on relatively short notice. She made the process quick and simple--exactly what I needed during the chaos of moving! The number of amenities across the three complexes is more than you could ask for. Anytime there's an issue, the team is quick, professional, and efficient in handling it. I highly recommend Circa 37 to anyone looking not just for an apartment, but for an amazing community to be part of! read more

Always clean; great staff who are always friendly and willing to help. Location is close to everything you need. Despite being in busy Mission Valley, it feels very safe. There is security in the evenings, which is very reassuring given the crime in the neighborhood. Also, the activities planned for residents are a really nice aspect of living here. They have had movie nights, a luau with music and dancers, cooking classes, and different food vendors coming by. It was one of the reasons we decided to live here over other apartments in SD. Wish there were more events! read more

Circa 37 has been one of the nicest places I've lived in. The apartments are well taken care of, clean and the residents were all so kind. On my days off I enjoyed going on walks around the civita park which I found to be so relaxing and beautiful. I loved going to the Saturday farmers market, coffee at La Clochette, going to the West Park gym and spending time by the pool. This place has everything you need without having to go too far. Every month they send out a calendar with events going on which are fun, affordable and family oriented. I always appreciated the emails sent out with news or things happening during the week. I can't thank the leasing office enough for all that they do and have to put up with. These people are literal angels. To Chris G, Emily, Kevin and everyone else who works there I just want to say thank you. Thank you for all your help. You guys will never know how much I appreciate what you guys did. I will be forever grateful. read more

My niece has lived there for over 5 years and hosted a baby shower event at one of their venues. Their team was very accommodating and professional, our event turned out beautiful, our family and friends were very impressed with the place, I highly recommend if you are looking for a nice venue to host your special event. Thank you Circa 37 team!!! read more

I absolutely love living here and the move-in process was so simple, Chris and the team upfront has walked me through every single step of the way to even help me after they close. I highly recommend anyone who thought about living here to do it. You will not regret it. Chris deserves a raise!!! read more

Had an appointment scheduled for a guided tour at 1PM. When I arrived at the leasing office, the leasing agent told me she had a busy day and was going to lunch and asked if I'd come back in an hour. I drove all the way from North County to do a viewing, if she had let me know even just an hour prior that she wasn't able to make the scheduled time I would have been understanding. The lack of professional courtesy that they show to potential new residents gives me little confidence in how they'd treat their existing residents. read more

****Potential Renter Beware of Future Move Out Charges****** Things at Circa37 were pretty pleasant for most of our stay, and I will put a pros and cons list at the bottom to give you an idea, but the move out process is where I feel Circa's management is taking advantage of people by charging them fees for painting when it's included in normal wear and tear because of that I had to give them a low rating because it's just not right to try and take advantage of people. The issue is I was charged $152.78 for painting, one of Circa's management team Margo, told me that the paint is supposed to last 36 months and they prorate the amount of time you have been living there, so since we were living there for just over a year they gave us a credit for $92 for paint and charged us the rest. **Disclaimer** This prorate amount for paint is not listed in the lease. What is on the Lease is, The Landlord may charge the security deposit for the following items, (2) The repair of damages to the premises, exclusive of ordinary wear and tear, caused by the tenant or by a guest or licensee of the tenant. We did not have damages that were exclusive of wear and tear and I have included photos for people to see. Overall, I did enjoy living at Circa and the pros definitely outweighed the cons but being deceptive in your move out charges is something I think people should be aware of before they sign a lease. Pros: -Access to several amenities as well as access to West Park and Purl Amenities (Since Covid, this has changed, only allowed to use the property you live in) -Pool is great -Convenient to shopping and Interstate -Walking distance to several shops, park -Parking was never an issue -Soon to be Elementary school Cons: -Maintenance on several occasions marked requests as completed when they were not -Several of the fitness equipment in both Circa37 and West Park gym were broke -Hardwood floors are installed on 2nd and 3rd floor apartments meaning you can hear every step the person above you makes -Appliances are awful, they are the same cheap white appliances that always break except in stainless steel to make them seem more expensive -Little closet space -People do not pick up after their pets read more

Has a restricted pet list, call before spending your time looking at these apartments.

Great complex, outstanding management, and maintenance team. Thanks to Chris, Victor, and Eric the IT guy. We used the 3rd floor lounge for a graduation party and the team were committed and followed up to provide the support needed to make sure the space was ready to support our event. Thanks! read more

Pricing on units is a little high but you get that back in the amenities offered. Was surprised once the Covid restrictions were lifted what I could use between Circa and the two sister complexes (West Park and Purl). Access to 2 gyms, 6 pools and hot tubs, and 6+ lounge areas to name a few. Moved in Summer of 2020 and have no plans to leave outside of buying a home in the area. Great location in San Diego in relation to 15-30 min from everything without living in downtown. Public park is gorgeous and access to public elementary school (SD Unified) for the kids in 2022. Staff are great to communicate with. Sam May and the lifestyle events are awesome to help build community in the complexes with great activities. Trivia Night on Aug 8 was so much fun and hope it continues monthly or bi weekly. read more

I've re-newed my lease here at Circa 37 for my 1bedroom apt. Rachelle has been so helpful and demonstrated great customer service and kindness during my renewal process. I enjoy living in this area as it is safe and has many nearby places to walk to. I visit civita park daily and enjoy the activities and food trucks that are often planned here. The amenities are unmatched to most apartment complexes! read more

Thought I would make a special shout out for the maintenance man Ivan who is newly hired but has gone above and beyond!! His work is always top notch in the apartment and he's so respectful! I've had a couple of heavy packages ordered to the wrong building and he's always been more than willing to help me get it to my door! One last thing a couple of times I've had some spare cardboard boxes near my garage and he has helped me take those to the trash as well.... it's small details like this that really go along way! This property management team is awesome! read more

Circa 37 - Apartments Near Me - San Diego, California

You will be disappointed. It was nice when we first moved in, but it's been going downhill. I can't wait until the lease is up. **Noise** I've lived downtown and in Pacific Beach, both of which come with an expectation of noise. When we moved to Mission Valley, I expected it to be much quieter, but this place is louder than both downtown or PB. Outside of the apartment, you have neighbors who do not have any concept that there are other people living here. You'll have your fair share of early 20's screaming at 2am on a Tuesday morning. Inside the apartment, you can hear everything. As I have to take calls for my job, I finally got so annoyed that I got a dB meter and measured the volume. It wasn't unusual for it to be above 75-80dB during the daytime on my desk. This is like having a hair dryer on your desk. This is partially due to upstairs neighbors but it's also exacerbated by the lawn services they employ to care for the grounds. You will have hours of noise from industrial lawn equipment a couple days each week while you're trying to work. If you work from home, do not live here. **Parking & Vehicles** You get one assigned parking and one open parking (with a permit) for a two-bedroom apartment. With the permit parking, you will be lucky if you can find a spot. They also have guest parking, for which you can get a one-day permit, but they constantly change the rules on when you can get one from the office (be it the day before or the morning of). We've been told that you can only get one the morning of, to go to the office right when they open and be told there are no more permits available (hmmm). They apparently don't even know their policies and procedures. If you do get a temporary permit, good luck finding a spot. Also, don't leave anything valuable in your cars. There are tons of break-ins here. I personally have not had that problem, but our neighbor has had their car broken into twice. They will also temporarily ban parking (for a legitimate reason, such as resurfacing), but the only warning you will get is an email. If you don't check your email in the day or two leading up to the parking restrictions, enjoy your tow bill. Again, didn't happen to me, but we watched about a half-dozen cars get towed the morning of the parking lot sealing (included those in reserved spaces who don't move their cars much). **Amenities** This is actually the good section. The pools and gyms are nice. During the height of the COVID restrictions, they were able to allow people to use the facilities by appointment, so they did what they could to accommodate amenities during that time. The Ralph's and handful of shops close by are also nice, but you already knew that because you've looked at this place on a map and can figure that out for yourself. **Maintenance** The maintenance people are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. However, they're backlogged, and your appliances will break. In a little over a year, here's the list of things I can remember which have broken. 1. Hot Water Heater. Burner went out and took nearly two weeks to get the part in (granted, pandemic, so I do give them some benefit of the doubt). We were constantly having to relight the pilot, which meant we didn't have hot water for about a half-hour after we found out it was out. 2. Garbage Disposal. Started leaking out of the bottom, so goodbye everything we had under the sink. When they replaced it, they didn't remove the drain plug for the dishwasher, so water started spewing out of the top of sink at the hand nozzle when we ran it. Maintenance was backlogged for days, so I ended up removing and fixing it myself. 3. Shower handle. I turned the shower on and the handle snapped off. . .with the water running full blast. Either I'm Thor, or they're using junk pieces. I've never snapped a shower handle off by accident until now. 4. Furnace. As I type this, it's blowing cold air. Probably what pushed me over the edge to write this. 5. Plumbing. Main line plumbing is junk. We've had water backing up into our sink because it's the lowest to the plumbing running to the main. This means our upstairs neighbors running water was backing up into our sink. As maintenance is delayed, we dealt with this by scooping the dirty water out with pots. Glad we were actually home, or we would have had sewer water all over the kitchen. 6. Thermostat. Finally decide it's hot enough to run your AC? Nope, you get windows because your thermostat is broken when you want to use the actual stuff in the apartment. 7. Washer. Every now and then it sounds like metal on metal grinding during a load of laundry. Hope you don't get our apartment when we move out because this thing is getting ready to go out, so you'll get to use the laundromat for a couple days while waiting on them to fix it. There's a limit on characters, or I would go in depth about the 80+ pound aggressive dogs who live here. Look elsewhere. read more

My wife and I recently went on a tour of Circa 37, and while we eventually decided to choose a different residence, we were very impressed with what we saw and with the experience of our tour. Circa 37 is a very nice apartment complex. The grounds are clean and charming. The few people we saw all looked like the kind of neighbors you'd like to live with - professional yet fun. There is an apartment complex next door with much larger, hotel-like buildings, called West Park It turns out the two apartment complexes are partners and you can use the extensive facilities at West Park as a resident of Circa 37. That's pretty cool, because West Park has a huge gym with a rock climbing wall. Oh, and Circa 37 has a salt water pool, which is pretty neat, I didn't know that was even a thing. Our tour guide was Reese. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about both Circa 37 and West Park. Also, during our tour, there was an offputting experience that she handled extremely well. A visitor to the complex littered out of his car, and she confidently but respectfully asked him to please clean it up. It showed that she has as much respect for the grounds as a resident would, which doesn't always happen with leasing agents (sometimes you get the feeling they're just getting paid to walk people around and they don't actually care about the place). The man got unnecessarily aggressive about being called out on it, but she handled this childish behavior with grace and tact, all the while making sure my wife and I were comfortable during the tour. Again, it is a major plus knowing that the people working for and representing where you live have those qualities. We decided upon another residence primarily because of two reasons. Circa 37 does not have elevators. The buildings are all just 3 stories tall, which gives them charm, but we have family (including elderly grandparents) who would visit and probably have a tough time getting to our top-floor apartment. Also, I have an electric vehicle, and they are still in the process of adding additional charging spots (I believe she said there were only three or so in the whole complex). But those are both completely unique to our needs, and I imagine many people find those concerns irrelevant. If you've come this far in the Yelp reviews to see whether or not Circa 37 is the place for your, then I would absolutely recommend giving them a chance. read more

Place is trash. I use towards single mothers and their kids, Sandra has some sorta of predisposition toward people with families and children and power trip. Glass in the pool, trash all over the place broken gym equipment and paying $3700.00 a month. Save your cash and rent elsewhere. read more

Circa 37 is the place to be! Beautiful, well-maintained grounds with a lot of trees and greenery. Nice pool area, BBQs, outdoor fire pit, gym, and sky lounge. The floor plans are great, with large bathrooms and walk-in closets. The maintenance team is excellent and always on top of their game (shout out to Andres and his team!). Their events person, Emma, does a great job coordinating fun and thoughtful events (thanks for the vegan food options!). Their staff is always helpful and professional (another shout out to Brad!). The property manager, Rachelle, is nice to work with and makes you feel welcome and valued as a resident. Peaceful environment that is close to the Civita Park and other walkable spots like Ralphs, UPS, Southpaw Vet, and the taquito place, El Tianguis. Neighbors are nice and pretty tight-knit, we all look out for each other even if we don't know one another. They also switched to electric leaf blowers (which are quieter and better for the environment) and have reduced the frequency since I spoke with management. I love living at Circa 37 and have called this place "home" for 4.5 years! read more

I lived in circa 37 for 2 years and would like to share my experience with future tenants who consider to live. Things had changes since CoVid and the management changed as well. I will start with advantages: Close to shops and good location specially who commute using highway 15/805 south or 8 east. Nice pool and a lot of activities in civita park and neighborhood. Disadvantage: Car break and burglar Dirty jacuzzi Maintenance takes few days to respond The current management is not honest and manipulative and I will mention why. I was charged for move out paint fees by using false claim. They used different apartment pics and sent as my apartment. I inform the manager about the (scam) but of course she was ignorant and in denial and since I have busy carrier I don't have time to go back and forth to deal with it so I thought better to share my experience with future tenants. For future references pls take pics and videos for every details. Nutshell ...I encourage you to find different place and stay away from circa. read more

I recently moved from D.C. to San Diego and tackled the apartment hunting nightmare upon arrive. Ten days of trying to figure out a clean, safe, affordable & pleasant apt complex came top a successful end the minute I found Circa 37. Not only are the grounds beautiful but the front office staff & even residents are wonderful! Also it's very close to Civita Park & an amazingly clean dog park! Although everyone is great, Reese deserves a special mention! She is so welcoming and genuinely enjoys her job! Recently when my elderly parents came to visit from Ohio, she helped welcome my parents while I was at work (I couldn't take any time off since it's a new job). She gave them a tour of the amenity and showed them to my apartment. Also I felt comfortable leaving my keys with her so that she could give them to my parents. The whole experience here is fabulous. If I have to make ANY recommendations to improve, I would request that they clean the swimming pool area tables and grill area with disinfect every single morning AND add larger trash container in these areas (or take out the trash more often). Some residents spill gunk all over the place & the trash cans fill very quickly on weekends & holidays. But i guess it's to be expected. Oh and the coffee area ;) Thanks Circa 37 & especially Reese! read more

I used to live at Circa 37 and recently ended my lease early due to my terrifying situation with my then roommate, who was a tennis friend, and convinced me to be his roommate. This was the first time I've had a roommate and he's had one most of his 47 year old life. Anyhow, he hacked into my phone, laptop, and took my mail for a good 2-3 months that I know of. He knew where I was and what I was doing, etc. I was terrified and locked myself and my puppy in my room for a good 2-3 months until I moved out. Before I moved out I went to speak to the accounts manager there, named Sandra Garcia, and told her I was fearful and paranoid because of my roommate. I had anxiety and was emotionally stressed, and she did not seem to care one bit. It seemed like she already knew I was coming to talk to her because my then roommate might to have already approached her, and because he's a guy and probably tried to charm her and played victim (as he always does.) Sandra Garcia basically told me I needed written statement from him to release me from the lease. She didn't show any compassion or concern about my situation. Then she just said he needs to also be able to cover the rent himself or if he finds a roommate, that person has to prove that they qualify. Otherwise, I am still liable, even though I was a victim of stalking which is a domestic violence, according to the rental contract. She knew this and didn't mention a word to me about it. Long story short, I knew she wasn't going to work with me based on how she spoke to me and didn't even try to help me with this crazy ex roommate. I took matters into my own hands and moved out anyway, because I was a prisoner in my own home, that I was paying rent for. Sandra found out that I moved out and was pressuring and practically threatening me to pay my part of the rent. She did not seem to have followed the 3 Day pay or quit Unit policy letter that she supposedly sent to me and my ex roommate. I didn't pay and he paid his half only. Apparently if the full rent isn't paid, the tenants will be evicted. She did not evict him because she emailed me a couple weeks later to tell me I still had to pay my half. In a nutshell, Sandra Garcia did not show any concern about domestic violence and was biased towards a male renter. I basically was granted a restraining order against him and won, after he tried to have one against me for harassment. He said he was scared and fearful of a barely 5 foot Asian girl. The judge denied his request and continued my RO against him. Because I won the court hearing for the RO, I sent a letter to management at Circa 37 and explained everything that happened, including how Sandra treated me on the first meeting and the following numerous email exchanges we had, where she kept pressuring me. I was able to be released from the lease, without penalty, however they are not giving me my deposit back. I spoke with Rachelle, who's the head manager there, and she was pleasant and told me I was released. I'm conclusion, Circa 37 is a nice complex, however for the money you pay, you'd want to feel safe and supported if there is violence involved. If Sandra Garcia, or anyone like her works in the office, I would not recommend this place. Her biased, non compassionate, bullying, character is not something anyone should have to endure. I found it shocking too that she's a woman and didn't care that this was a serious, and could have potentially been a fatal situation, against another vulnerable female. My doctor informed me that stalking is a serious and very dangerous situation where women have been murdered by their stalkers. I'm glad I didn't let Sandra force me to stay living under the same roof with the crazy ex roommate! I gave it two stars because Rachelle was nice and informed me that she would have a talk with Sandra. Otherwise I would have given this a generous one star rating. read more

Whant to say big THANK YOU to Margot and Jes. Can't wish for better team to run this large complex. They will listen, think and solve any problem that you possibly would have in community.
