When the whole world is going crazy, everything feels just fine here. Not so much as you get closer to the city. People aren't as nice and a lot a sketchy stuff is all around you. Even the unsheltered in Silicon Vally have RVs. It;s a special place!

My favorite part of this apartment (one of the tallest buildings in Palo Alto) were the incredible views of the mountains and greenery from my apartment (see photo). Additionally, the pool area/courtyard with blooming flowers, well-landscaped trees, and swinging hammocks was a relaxing oasis especially during COVID-19. The lush lobby has a Stockwell vending machine, luxury-style seating and calming wall waterfall. Lastly, Cathy at the front desk is always friendly, helpful, and warm, contributing to a great homey environment. Catalina and Marlon also do a great job maintaining and improving Tan Plaza. This apartment complex is a great biking (or driving) distance from campus and conveniently located close to San Antonio Shopping Center (Trader Joes, Target, etc). Additionally, Briones Park across the street and Arastradero Preserve and various walking trails were easily accessible as well. In addition to the secured parking area, overnight street parking on Clemo and/or Arastradero is also free and easy. There are a few minor inconveniences with slow elevators and occasional water shut-offs but these didn't bother me much.

It was exciting reading the 5-star reviews and seeing photos of the beautiful apartments. We contacted SkylinePMG to inquire, and they worked with us and our move-in schedule. From that moment on we felt like family. The property managers Kay, Bruce, and Kash really care about their tenants and take amazing care of us and the property. The building maintenance crew are very quick to respond to any issues: Either a major appliance needing repair or a minor faucet adjustment, you can count on a fast response and quality work! Two-plus years later in this wonderful apartment we've called home, we have always felt taken care of and a welcome part of the community. This is a place where your neighbors say "Hello" and you have the chance to make good friends - like the members of The Cat Sitters Club, which we formed using posts on the Community Bulletin Board. We've also enjoyed the maintained Community Garden in the courtyard that was started by the property managers for the tenants. The garden has produced fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs. You get so many benefits from living here. They even installed charging stations in the parking lot for electric vehicles after they saw a need. If we weren't retiring and moving out of the country, we would never leave El Dorado. If there's an apartment available, try your best grab it before someone else does!

Lester helped me with pretty much everything. Loading/Unloading management, parking my pods on street and helping me secure it, helping me with my packages when I was away, and regular maintenance requests. Lester goes over and beyond to help tenants. Stephanie is very good with turn around times, she is professional and straightforward. Property itself is very quiet. Noise regulation rules are pretty nice. Property is walking distance away from Menlo Park downtown. The area is pretty walkable. I had a patio which was a very nice addition. Property rate is very reasonable given that it comes with gated parking. The only complain I have is the additional door in front of elevator's slider door. It makes moving i and out of the apartment hard. Apartment has carts, so that makes it easy to carry groceries. Overall I would give this property a 4.7/5. Rating is based on services provided for the rent they charge. Thanks APF and team.

Unfortunately, we had to end our lease early due to a new job requiring relocation, but we were so happy with our short time here. It was peaceful at night and the doors and windows, when closed, drowned out the noise from the street very well. Our neighbors on both sides were quiet. We could hear our upstairs neighbor's footsteps, but it wasn't unbearable. Andrea does a really good job of maintaining the complex and ensuring that it is safe and secure. She's also super easy to work with and made the inquiring and signing process easy. We actually signed the lease without viewing in person so that says a lot about the great impression we had of the apartment complex! We can only speak for our unit, but it was clean, spacious, renovated, and had more than enough space for 2 people. Good location, would recommend to friends and family. We were quite sad to leave!

I moved out of this complex a couple months ago, and it was the best decision I have ever made…read more What an absolute nightmare this place was. Everything was constantly broken, and management couldn't afford to fix anything. It has the facade of luxury living, but it is actually run like an old motel. We can begin with the laundry room with two washers and two dryers for 40 people... one of which was broken and never repaired for weeks. Tons of my clothing was ruined by this 1980's setup. The doors to the stairwell are so heavy that they shake the entire corridor and building when they open and close. Not to mention that the walls are so thin and poorly constructed, I could hear my neighbor ripping the bong at all hours of the night. Good riddance ! And goodbye !

I almost hesitate to write this review because it's such a special place and hidden gem, it almost feels like giving away one of the best treasures of the south bay area. Aldin is the sweetest and most professional property manager we've ever had. He is on top of his work and responsive to the residents. He has built a community of lovely neighbors that make the complex feel more like a comfortable home in a quiet (besides the gardeners and lawn mowers who keep the environment beautiful xD) neighborhood. It's the type of place that families feel good about having their first babies grow up here. We were looking forward to our baby playing here as well, and it was the toughest decision to leave, but we will definitely visit for playdates with our neighbors ^-^

Now that I've had a chance to settle in for two months, it's time to leave a review for this…read morebeautiful, exceptionally well managed community and its wonderful staff. For reference, I also own a condo here in Mountain View and I've lived at other Prometheus properties in Silicon Valley (from most recent to oldest: 100 Moffett, Cupertino City Center, and the Biltmore), as well as non-Prometheus properties (The Turing, City Gate, Arioso, and The Hamptons). I've been fortunate to have a lot of generally good experience over the years, but Park Place stands out above all the rest for so many reasons. I want to start with the staff (in the order that I met them): Athena, Michelle, Rudy, Bryan, Cynthia, Andrea, and Yen. Amazing staff, super friendly, helpful, and professional. From the first experience through moving in, I feel like I've made friends. These are people I genuinely like, who have treated me, my wife, and my dog so cheerfully and courteously. Your experience at any property starts with the staff, and these wonderful people foster a genuine feeling of welcome and inclusion in the community that we really love and appreciate. I'd give more than five stars just because of the staff, if I could. While talking about staff, I also have to mention the maintenance team. They are super friendly and super responsive when you need something. 5 star for maintenance. For the property, I have to say this was the whole appeal for moving here initially. The location is amazing. It's downtown Mountain View next to all the venues Castro Street has to offer, but it's situated in an absolutely lovely spot across the street from pretty Pioneer Memory park with the library, city hall, and performing arts center on its north side, and adjacent to Eagle park on its west side, with a Starbucks on its east side. This is such a terrifically walkable area and it's gorgeous. Pictures don't do it justice; you need to visit and walk around for yourself. This, along with the aesthetics and attractiveness of the grounds here on the property, is 100% the reason why we chose to rent out our condo and move here. Same as with the staff, I'd give more than five stars if I could. Within the property, the amenities are truly outstanding. We have two great gyms (one with a yoga / exercise studio), a lovely clubhouse, a nice salt water pool, and the best pet spa of any property I've ever lived at -- perfect for washing our 80 pound lab! 5 stars! And speaking of our lab, I have lived at other pet-friendly communities before, but this one is the best hands down. After two months of living here, I'm impressed at how well-behaved the other dogs are and how responsible the other pet owners are. As far as the apartment itself, we love the calming color scheme and the layout. The home is very pleasant and comfortable. If the unit is ever offered for sale, we're definitely going to buy it, that's how happy we are with it. 5 stars! So, to Athena, Michelle, Rudy, Bryan, Cynthia, Andrea, and Yen, to Prometheus, and to our friendly neighbors, thanks for welcoming us here. We absolutely love living here. If you're reading this and considering moving to Park Place, definitely come visit and meet the staff and take time to walk around and really experience the area and its vibe. I highly recommend it!

I lived at Southwood for nearly five years, from January 2018 until October 2022. Initially, it was…read moremostly fantastic. The biggest issue I had was that they were doing construction work when we moved in. They said it'd be done in "around two weeks" but it actually took nearly two years to complete. Back then, they had a guarantee that maintenance requests would be handled within 48 hours, and the on-site staff (one maintenance person and one leasing office person) would usually fix any issues on the same day. Once COVID happened, everything changed. Staff were no longer onsite and maintenance suffered as a result. Even once COVID restrictions were lifted, Equity Residential decided to have one leasing office staff member split across three or four of their properties, rather than one per property. Maintenance is no longer on-site, and fixes that used to be done in less than a day now take weeks. Water bills went up significantly due to things like the pool/spa leaking water non-stop for over a week. They started a big modernization project right as I was moving out, to remodel the apartments. This is great since the apartments looked pretty dated inside, but I think part of it was just an excuse to increase the rents even higher. It's a good location, and the park directly behind the property is nice. I used to walk my dog there all the time. However, that doesn't make up for Equity Residential reducing service while increasing rents.

I liked this place when I first moved in in 2020. They had an onsite manager, who was wonderful and…read morean onsite maintenance man, who was also great. Since that time my rent has increased 350$ each year of living here. Both Sam and Angela, the onsite staff, have been fired. In addition, they stopped accepting my electronic rent checks, without any explanation or way to fix it and have started charging an extra 132$/month just to pay a rent check. Yes, you have to pay a monthly surcharge to pay rent here. To top it off, the water and garbage bills are exorbitant. Because it's shared between the other 100 or so residents, the bill is never less than 200$/month and that doesn't include the electricity/gas bills. When all is said and done, I'm paying almost 5000$/month to live here! It's a great location but the building is old as are the appliances. Not worth it anymore.
