My husband and I lived here in 2016 and only moved out because our jobs took us elsewhere,…read moreotherwise, we would have loved to stay here.
Let me start off by reviewing management. Beverly and Johnny are amazing people! Beverly is punctual and dependable. She gets the job done quickly and is so kind about everything. She is helpful, considerate, and fair. I have moved several times in several states and she is by far, the best property manager I have ever worked with/leased from. I am beyond grateful to have met her and rented one of her apartments. Maintenance requests are addressed quickly. William will fix most everything. He is knowledgeable, capable, thorough, and above all, is such a kind soul. Bottom line, very pleased with management and maintenance.
I love the property namely for its location and its amenities. First off, it is located very close to the beach, to a grocery store, to the freeway, and most everything else you really need. There is one assigned parking spot and the possibility of an additional parking spot (with a low fee) if available (first come first serve). Even without the extra spot, my husband and I never really had a problem with parking as there is street parking available. Sometimes it can be a bit of a walk, but it has never been too bad. Honestly, parking wasn't a deal breaker, especially if you consider all the other perks. There aren't laundry machines within the unit, which I would have preferred, but there is a laundry facility within the complex. The facility is kept clean and if there are any issues with machines, management is on top of it, so it was never an issue. The entire complex is kept clean. Pool is always clean too. I never used the BBQ pits but they looked clean and none of the neighbors I knew who used it ever had any complaints. There is a small gym too, but I hardly used it as I usually liked to go running on the beach instead. The complex is gated, which made me feel safer. Regardless, the area felt safe enough for me and let me tell you, I've lived in some sketchy areas in the past, so I know what that is like. Also, management really prioritizes its residents' safety--another reason why I felt safe. Community is pretty quiet, neighbors are nice. No complaints there. These apartments are such a steal!
Our apartment was very clean and kept in great shape! Lots of storage space in closet and in kitchen cabinets for a studio apartment. Apartment conveniently had microwave, dishwasher, stove and fridge already set up. They were like new, or new, and well-taken care of! No issues with electric and plumbing. FYI, there is no central A/C but it is so cool in San Diego that a fan was adequate to stay cool if needed. Also, central heating is from the ceiling. I've never tried it so I don't know how well it works, but it was never freezing for me (FYI, I've lived in the Midwest and in the east so I'm familiar with much hotter and much colder temps). San Diego is honestly a beautiful place to live and I'm sure you can be happy living at pacific breeze apartments.
