We recently moved our college student into his off-campus apartment for the upcoming school year. Being out-of-state and looking for housing via the internet adds a layer of difficulty you don't have when you're able to check out places in person. With so many unknowns and relying on photos on property websites and clear communication with the property manager, it can be stressful. When we found Cypress Landing Apartments and contacted their office, all of the stress and worry that comes with searching for a place for your college kiddo to live became a nonissue once we spoke with the property manager, Jenika Sweeney. She was extremely generous with her time when we called and was always so pleasant and patiently answered every question we had (and we called A LOT and had A LOT of questions). She even offered to provide information about the general areas of other properties should we decide to look into other options, since we aren't familiar with the neighborhoods in Salinas. She emailed us floor plans and pictures and walked us through the different options she had available. She also gave us details about different lease start dates with cost differences so that we could choose the best option for our timeline and budget. Our student's living situation includes sharing the lease with roommates, and Jenika made sharing all of the information with the other parents and getting documents signed seamless. We can't say enough good things about Jenika and her work ethic when it came to getting our son situated in his new apartment. Knowing that our son is living somewhere where the property manager truly cares about her residents means the world to us and gives us a sense of security that I don't think we would have found anywhere else. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cypress Landing to anyone in search of an apartment - you'll be in good hands! The apartment itself is nice, too. ;) read more
