Before meeting Toby, I was skeptical on committing to an agent, but he surpassed all our expectations and if it wasn't for him, we couldn't have closed on our home.

Thank you Toby and we look forward to working with you on any future real estate matters

Follow-up from my review in 2021. Last month I left San Francisco because of my job, and moved out…read moreof 797 Bush. Like I mentioned in my previous review, I had a great experience living there (twice!) over about 5 years total. The building was always clean, well taken care of, and most importantly safe. My unit(s) were spacious and incredibly affordable compared to others in the area, and you literally cannot beat the location if you work in the city or just want to live downtown. The reason I wanted to follow-up though and re-iterate my positive experience is because of my move-out experience. Despite what other people have said in old reviews, I received my FULL security deposit back (both times). I definitely took very good care of the apartments I lived in over the years, and cleaned as best I could before moving out. That being said, I suspect the people claiming they were charged a dozen fees probably didn't leave the apartment in as good of condition as they think. If you are a clean and respectful tenant, you shouldn't run into any issues. The best part of my move-out experience though was the property manager, Bonnie. I had to pick up my rental car early in the morning, and she was very flexible to work around my tight schedule. She agreed to meet at 6:30am, and after my inspection she waited for me to return to the building, helped me park outside, and then proceeded to HELP ME LOAD EVERYTHING INTO THE CAR! I was absolutely not expecting her to do that, since I've never had a landlord offer such a thing before in the past, and I didn't even ask. She went above and beyond to help, and made the experience 10x easier than I ever could've expected (especially since I would have been doing it all by myself without her help). Overall, I had such a great experience living at 797 Bush, from move-in to move-out. I would 100% recommend living here to anyone, and would happily move back in if I ever returned to San Francisco.

I recently moved out of this apartment building after having lived there for 2 years. My studio…read moreapartment was given to me in excellent condition, and had a spacious studio space, kitchen, and bathroom for a very affordable price. In addition, the common areas and hallways were all clean and very well-maintained. It was also located in a great, convenient, and central place in San Francisco. Bonnie, the property manager, was extremely helpful and responsive to me whenever I ran into any issues throughout my stay. During my move out process, Bonnie was very helpful and transparent in letting me know which areas of my apartment needed to be cleaned or repaired. I overall had a great stay at 797 Bush and would highly recommend it!

Terra Vista provided a reliable and comfortable home for me from July 1997 to March 2000. I was in…read moreunit G12 and also rented a garage (think they charged me $65/month for the garage back then). This apartment will always be special to me because it was my first place I rented on my own (I moved from New York City where I had roommates in every place I lived there). Moved to San Francisco to take a job in Mountain View (yeah, crazy commute I know, but being young and single I wanted to be where the "action" is, whatever that means! LOL). The view over to Pacific Heights from my place was really tranquil and I loved watching the fog roll in during the evenings. It was a quiet place to live and loved the central location - if I was feeling ambitious on a Saturday or Sunday I'd walk over to Tower Records (remember them?) in the Castro (there were also 2-3 good independent record stores during this period along Divisadero). I also walked to the Fillmore nearby for live concerts. Brother's BBQ on Divisadero was a favorite local eatery but there's all kinds of cuisine nearby. I also walked over to the Kabuki theater for movies and enjoyed the Asian shops at that shopping center. Also loved the convenience of the Walgreens down the hill and the mall behind Kaiser (it had a Good Guys consumer electronics store and Sears at the time but now it has Target and some smaller eateries). The onsite manager at the time was named Carol and she was very friendly and on top of things and from the other reviews posted looks like the current manager is also. I have fond memories living at Terra Vista Apartments and glad to see it's still standing strong all these years later.

During my time there, the management replaced all of the windows, replaced the roof, replaced my toilet, stove/oven, refrigerator and never hesitated to send a plumber or handyman when needed. The manager, Terri, cares about her tenants and it shows. They also frequently upgrade the laundry machines and have a dedicated mail room so your packages won't get stolen. If you want to live in the middle of San Francisco and don't want to worry about your apartment not being maintained, Terra Vista is for you :-)

They truly go above and beyond! When I was moving out I had a buyer fall through for my couch and ended up needing to dispose of it. I did not know what to do and I had movers arriving in 12 hours. The concierge scheduled the recology pick up, let me leave the couch in the unit after I moved out, and even carried it outside for me as I could not lift it. This is just one example of many!! The team even took the time to get to know my family who would visit often! The amenities and especially the gym are a huge plus. People commented on the noise- this is an apartment so you can hear your neighbors. I am very sensitive to noise but never had an issue with noise levels from other apartments. People also commented negatively on the rent increases- compared to other apartments in the area I would say that the rent increases are on par with San Francisco housing markets. The units are not rent controlled, you will see similar price increases in any non rent controlled apartments. I would definitely recommend living here if it's within your budget!

An increase that steep would be easier to accept if the building were improving, but the upkeep has slipped while the rent has climbed. The staff is friendly, but the building isn't maintained the way you'd expect at this price. The wood siding and balcony trim have needed sanding and restaining for years. I've raised it multiple times, including with senior management, and nothing has changed. At this point, I'm concerned about the wood's condition, not just its looks. A cracked, spiderwebbed tile on the elevator floor has never been fixed. When a departing resident left a pile of furniture (mattress, sofa, tables, cabinets) by the trash room, it sat for almost a week. I called 311 myself, and they hauled it away that Friday. None of this is huge on its own, but it adds up. Turnover may be part of it: we've had four property managers since I moved in, which makes follow-through hard. The maintenance doesn't match the marketing, and deferred work doesn't go away; it just gets more expensive. The siding and balconies are the first thing you see walking up, and to my mind, they now define how the building looks. My honest take going into year five: the units are genuinely nice, but you're paying more every year for a building that's being kept up less.

I really enjoyed the time I lived at Pineridge and will miss the staff and residents there! Sorry for the long review, but I wanted to share my experience to help other decide if this is the best place for you! Apartment Managers/Staff: Yasmin, one of the Apartment managers, is friendly and prompt in replying to any of our questions or needs, and is such a joy to be around! She definitely goes and beyond when looking out for the residents and I appreciate how she genuine cares for everyone. Jason is the main maintenance staff there and he's also friendly and is very helpful when something breaks down or needs replacing. Overall they are prompt with communication! Apartment: Rented a 1 bedroom for my partner and I. Our apartment was located on the residential roadside (balcony was facing Wendy Way). Pets are allowed, so we got our first dog :) Very apartment friendly complex, and there is a bowl of water by the office and Yasmin has treats in the office if you ever stop by with your dog to say hi. The apartment we had had an island in the kitchen which was great for the additional space for cooking and whatnot. It also had heaters in the living room and the bedroom for the cold months. There is no A/C, but the unit we stayed in stayed generally cool, and if it did get too hot, as long as the blinds were closed it was fine. There was also a balcony, so opening the balcony door also helped keep the apartment cool. We did not have neighbors below us as our apartment was located above the garage, but we had neighbors above us and on both sides of us. I will note that we could hear the upstairs neighbors walking around, but it was never too loud where it bothered us. As for the neighbors on either side, we could not hear them. Down side is that the apartments are located where you can lose cell service (depending on your provider; I had T-mobile and I was fine, but my partner had AT&T and he did not get service). Rent: We were very fortunate to get our apartment during COVID so the price was great for the amenities you get and the neighborhood you live in. Some amenities include: Gym, pool, grilling and picnic table area. There is the base price, and then an additional charge for water/sewer/garbage that averages around $50-60 or so. I do want to note there is an annual rent increase that goes up by about $100. Laundry: We did not have an in-unit laundry, however there was a laundry room. It's paid laundry via the WASH-Connect app. It's pretty easy to use. Some of the washers break down more than others, but luckily there were 4 washers and 4 dryers, so if one was broken, there are other ones to use. Parking: Per unit you get one assigned parking space. Luckily there is extra parking for residents along the side of the complex next to the garage area and along the fence near right by the building, so if you have company come over, you could park there. Residents: Everyone I met in the apartment complex were very nice, and many also have dogs. Sometimes they will get together and have a little wine get together by the grills :) Neighborhood: It's a safe and generally quiet neighborhood. Everyone I've met while walking my dog at all times of the day are nice. Everyone once in a while I've seen coyotes, raccoons, deer, and skunks roaming around. The apartment is located right next to Shoreline, so there is traffic around school hours and on the weekends. But I recommend you take the side streets and go on Marin Ave if you want to get past the traffic. If you need late night snacks, 7-Eleven is about a 5 minute walk down the street.

They're moving out now to finally come live with me as we relocate out of state, and once again Yasmin is is being incredibly helpful and supportive in the process. Thank you, Pineridge, we will miss you!

Jason took care of me one night I had a medical emergency, he called for an ambulance and waited with me. Really made me feel safe. Thank you Jason. It's also nice having a front desk person 24/7 as you rarely lose any packages. We had to move because of family reasons but would live there again! The manager Caitlin went above and beyond for us even though we had to break our lease. If you are looking for a place, check out the Landmark!

The long-time staff are friendly and kind, Jason and Dimitri in particular. Living in the park is a treat. The newish Brookfield management team doesn't seem to care at all about resident experience, safety, or quality of life. They didn't do anything about a break-in in the building earlier this year until we the residents confronted them about a stolen bike, and even then they did not do anything to change the locks or alert other residents about the break-in. Brookfield is cheap and doesn't pay for adequate landscaping or building maintenance and the place is starting to feel threadbare and a shadow of its former self. We have had to deal with broken boilers and black particles in the water (obviously not safe to drink) a few times already this year. The front of the building needs painting and the windows are dirty. We've been waiting years for the walkway lighting out front to be replaced. Beyond basic safety, Brookfield does very little to invest in fostering community: gone are the resident-focused movie nights, potlucks, and food truck dinners. Finally, BEWARE THE FIRE ALARMS. Years of periodic fire alarms and Brookfield still hasn't fixed the issue. The fire alarm has gone off five times today alone and the building management has not said anything about it.

I can't speak to previous reviews but having lived in the city for over a decade and being in…read moredifferent neighborhoods and buildings I can say that this is a great place. The location is perfect if you want to be far enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough to go anywhere in the city. The weather is consistently sunny and you won't encounter the level of winds/noise such as in other parts of the city. The building itself is perhaps not as new as other offerings around this area or Mission Bay but the units are well maintained (they have a great and responsive crew), as well as spacious and you get more for your $$$ in my opinion. Of course there's always going to be opportunities for improvement (that goes honestly with every building I've lived in) and I can see that the management is doing their best to be the voice of the tenant. Parking is a big plus, proximity to freeway and gyms, as well as 15 minute walk to some awesome Potrero Hill restaurants/bars. There's quite a few good restaurants on the ground floor as well + a Starbucks. Management: I honestly am so impressed and content with the level of professionalism Stephen and Layla have shown in running this place. You can tell they truly care about the tenant's experience and all my interactions have been nothing but A+. They are responsive, caring, check in with you and there's great communication. All this is to say we're very happy with the choice we've made to rent here!
