The washer and dryers are very dirty and they are not cleaned regularly. Last week there was blood on one of the handles. The landlord absolutely pays or incentives people to write reviews. This place is ghetto as hell. A dad rat in parking lot. People who do not live here parking every night and harassing residents. Disgusting. The landlord is biased and lives on site but has no care for where he lives. My car has been broken into 2x. I've had damages to my car from other residents, dogs are always off leash, and there are some questionable individuals on the property. The noise from Oceanside blvd is so loud and it's right next to waste management. The reviews DO NOT reflect what it's like to live here.

I am so incredibly thankful to all the maintenance technicians at the Avalon Vista complex! Patrick, Mina, and Ernesto have been so helpful and make every other complex I've lived in, look horrible. I've lived here for a year now and only had the need for one maintenance request. Patrick saw my issue through the Avalon access website and called me less than 30 minutes after I put in the service request. It was the quickest, most efficient, and best work I've ever seen someone do in any of my apartment home. If this wasn't enough, he also takes the time to talk to me and my baby dog when we see him on our walks. Every morning when I walk my dog, I see Mina diligently working outside but she always takes the time to greet me and my fur baby. She has been so very sweet ever since I moved in. After having my ankle surgery Ernesto will see me outside and checks on how I'm doing. He's also been so kind as to pet my dog whenever we see him (she's a little needy).

It's rare to find someone who genuinely cares about residents the way he does. We are very happy to be back and feel right at home again. Highly recommend!

It should be the other way around, rewarding good tenants that pay on time every month, rather than punishing them with a higher rate for staying. They would rather have an empty unit than keep an existing tenant, though. Also, the neighborhood and pool are full of kids that are incredibly loud. If you live near the pool, it's obnoxiously loud during warmer months when almost every night there is some kind of party or gathering down there with music blaring and loud people drinking. There is little to no privacy, and the units are frankly overpriced. You can find something better elsewhere for the same price or less. The maintenance guys are nice and do a good job, though.

The property manager, Gigi, has been so helpful and kind with any questions I've asked. Lots of open parking and no sketchy weirdos loitering around. I have never seen the dumpsters overflowing- the trash is collected multiple times a week. I do find a spider in the unit every so often but it's definitely not a pest problem.

During the 10 months I lived here, I had my gas siphoned, a SWAT team break down a neighbor's door during a hostage situation, and another neighboring unit where a drug-addicted couple had frequent violent altercations. The situation became so bad that I had to call the police over a dozen times during my short time living there. The most frustrating part is that management has received complaints about these issues for years. They will tell you they care and that they are addressing the situation, but nothing actually changes. The responses often feel dismissive and unhelpful. What ultimately pushed me to write this review, however, was how my move-out was handled. Although I moved out before my lease ended, I made every effort to leave the apartment in excellent condition. I had the unit professionally cleaned, including the carpets, and had all holes patched and painted. After the pre-move-out inspection, I even provided management with the invoices for these services. Despite this, I was still charged nearly $500 in additional cleaning and painting fees. I was also charged an incorrect $450 rent balance, even though management had previously confirmed that I had paid the remaining rent and utilities owed. Even after explaining this and providing documentation, they still refused to return my full security deposit. Overall, the experience was extremely disappointing. For the price you pay to live here, there are far better and better-managed options in the area. I strongly encourage prospective renters to carefully consider other properties before signing a lease here.

Any time any service person was scheduled to inspect, I was home and not one of them were ever affraid of my dog. My dog doesn't bark, has never been aggressive towards any other animal or human, and wants nothing but to be loved and pet. Your comment against my dog, especially your attempt at using his breed as a crutch, is in poor taste and solidifies my original post of how nothing was ever fixed. No, I will not speak of this in private. Sunrise had that chance when I tried contacting the company via Facebook because I never recieved a call back when I left messages. The response I did recieve from the Facebook message was the manager angrily approaching me and inquiring as to why I tried contacting the company. In fear of retaliation, I agreed to take down the comment. Lastly, those who utilize this site deserve to know the truth about the lack of responsibility and integrity within this company. Thank you.

We have had no pest issues, and our maintenance requests are handled quickly! The apartments are central to Vista, and we can walk downtown or the movies in under 10 minutes. Unfortunately, the homeless population in Vista is quite high, but there is nothing management can do about it. Although they did hire security for the complex, this is a city problem, not the apartment's fault. Additionally, while there USED to be a homeless man, he has been gone for a few months now with the help of various tenants. We lived directly above this man for the first year of residing here, we got used to him and his mannerisms did not make this place any less worth living at!

Cesar was great, professional and knowledgeable…read more Heads up: Gate stays open all day but late at night it closes. Night traffic is insanely loud. Drag racing all hours but all night long it's the loudest. Apt complex is small but lots of up and down hills, so plan to drive your laundry to the building. Also online says 24-7, that's not true, it's 9-10 or possibly 8-10 only. Most walk ways and roads are sloped and not even so caution if you are walking the complex. Only one tiny park and past age 5 I'm pretty sure kids wouldn't enjoy it. But toddlers might enjoy it. It's super tricky to leave because of traffic and going south you'll need to go north and do a u turn. Getting past these things it seems a decent place to rent. Cesar left us with a good impression, polite, showed us around. I was looking for ground level apt, laundry in apt or near apt, and a pool and this place had one apt like that available. (None have washer dryer hookups but laundry was near this apt that was available). So we applied. $150 to apply. Non refundable. Thankfully we were first in line for this apt. Be prepared for it to take minimum of two weeks to go through the process. We passed all the requirements and he appreciated we have 750+ and 783, etc. You only need a 620 to be approved. We have perfect rental history. Never late on any payments ever. We met the income requirement. We were approved but it must then go through corporate. So we waited longer. Then we are told we weren't approved because corporate doesn't think we are a good match for their community. We've never heard of anything like this. We asked for further clarification and we were told the same statement. We were told to call a number to talk with corporate. We called and it goes straight to a recording and it's an odd echo bathroom sounding recording that did not sound professional at all, but it was corporate. We left our info and no call back. To date no response and no one will answer. It's out of Cesar's hands. He was confident we'd be moving in. We are more than qualified. I've been told places do this to pocket all the applications. We were first in line and met all the criteria. I thought that was a good thing to be first in line. Another family was in line for the apt, so if this is the case that's sadly common in California, then they got to pocket our $150 and move on to them. Some places have 40 applicants and first 30 get denied, they pocket all those fees paid and accept the others. It's sad that this is happening. And reality is, we qualified, was told we qualify and was still rejected and our $150 was pocketed by the apt complex and they moved on to the next family. On the bright side, Now that we've heard stories of the traffic and loud racing every single night there (go at night and witness it. It's so loud and trucks and cars race all night to the early am hours) and not having heat in bathrooms etc. Only having it in bedroom. And the other hiccups, stinks to of lost $150 to corporate greed but glad to have avoided these other things.

We moved here and haven't really had any major issues. However, one of the main reasons we…read moreoriginally liked it here was because there was a lot of pretty trees. They are currently cutting them all down and now we have no shade and the landscape looks boring and drab with only small palm trees and cactuses. The gate doesn't always close often which kind of defeats the purpose and the one other thing we could live without is the yearly walk throughs of the apartments. We just haven't had that anywhere else and like to have our privacy but I guess we get it for fire safety. The apartments are pretty modern, all wood floor, but we kinda wish the bedrooms had carpet for comfort. The water heaters aren't very large and are still gas which makes the SDGE bill larger than other apartments with electric heaters. Animals over 25 lbs aren't allowed even though the apartments are spacious. The laundry room takes a card or phone app which is pretty nice in our opinion and we do like the kitchen amenities in the unit. There is barely any guest parking and it gets taken up often by people who live here already. Rent autos to month to month once you've been here for 6 months. Just some things to note if you are moving in. I guess everywhere has pros and cons.

The new management is terrible and it breaks my heart to see the place I was planning on living long term turn into a slum. They jacked up the rent and advertise as luxury apartments but the trash situation is insane. They got rid of all the trees that made this place beautiful and they got rid of recycling bins so there is nowhere to put trash and broken glass. They get around the 10% rent increase limit by adding on extra fees. They charge us for water but the water doesn't warm up and there's continuous leaks. They came into our apartments and added flow restrictions to our faucets but they didn't lower the charge for water. They charge us for pest control but the pests are out of control! There are rats and bugs and cockroaches. We get charged for trash but the dumpsters are a nightmare. Don't move in here. And if you do live here, I'm so sorry. I'm not trying to stir the pot, but they hired a repair company that "updated" our apartments when they first took over. These men didn't know I was in the apartment (I went to the other room to get out of the way). They looked at my home and the pictures of me with my loved ones and started talking very graphically about how easy it would be to get me in bed and the specific things they would do to me and my roommate. I was about to step out and get rid of them when one of them mentioned there were no cameras in my home. I was terrified of being found, especially as more of the workers entered my home and joined the conversation. When I reported this to management, they followed up by telling me the company fired one person. They still use this company. I see the trucks everyone and I see men I recognize from that day. And they see me and recognize me as well. Living here is scary.
