Residents post complaints

If safety is a priority for your family and yourself PLEASE stay far away from this complex. I am a single mother with two little girls living on the bottom floor in the Verde apartments. When I first moved in Porsha the manager let me know she was there 5 days a week and was so kind and hands on. She moved out of the complex and I guess the safety of the complex no longer matters as she's no longer a resident. For days I've been hearing screaming and yelling right outside my window and as I had a new couple move in upstairs I figured it was them. Well today the screaming came with slamming and crashing and someone yelling "b****" and other threats. I was really uneasy but I know that I live alone and I'd hope someone would check on me if they suspected a domestic situation. I walked out and around to see if I could see what was going on. To my surprise it was not a neighbor, but a houseless man living inside of the utility closet about a yard and a half from my window. I took a video very fast of him throwing things then my kids turned the corner and I panicked and shiver them back. Well he heard us. And threw a huge rock at me. At this point my kids and myself are Hysterical I put them in my house locked all the doors and ran the long way to the office. They had made a big deal about added security and put up stickers and signs everywhere. Well when I arrived at the office a maintenance man who saw how upset I was let me know there's no actual on site security and Management actually is only in for a few hours on Friday. He saw how panicked I was and told me to call management which I did, what I think was an assistant answered and said management couldn't talk with me and they were in a meeting when I told him it was an emergency and someone assaulted me he passed the phone to Porsha, word for word I said "There is a man living out of a utility closet, there's no security here, he threw something at me and my children, I'm so f***ing upset I don't know what to do" the next words she said weren't to me but I could hear them she handed the phone to the assistant and said "she's too loud and cussing I'm not dealing with her just get her information and tell her we'll call her back later" I was in shock yes I was panicked and talking very fast and loud but in those circumstances I'm not sure who wouldn't be. Hearing my kids scream then cry, and hide, me being "so f***king upset" seemed like a reasonable response to me. I had to have my father drive over and pick us all up and check the utility closet himself which had now been vacated. My father a Black man did not feel comfortable calling the cops and Neither did I after all there was supposed to be onsite security. He took me to his home where I am now staying with my children. I went on MyEquity an app where neighbors communicate on a chat board and posted a warning for everyone along with the pictures. Well then I noticed that there are more than one complaints from residents about a person ON THEIR PATIOS which have to be climbed into, and that their tools were missing and were found in a utility closet. Dating back from JUNE, it's now late July. I'm putting up photos of these posts for you all to see. Single women PLEASE do not move here couples with children PLEASE do not move here, really anybody who doesn't want to deal with something like this, STAY AWAY because management will not help, there is no security, and there are constant fights and situations like this where management puts the burden on you to do their job and manage it. If you're not comfortable with cops or calling the cops, or just do not feel like having to call cops constantly (cause this kind of thing DOES happen constantly) do not move here. I've worked for homeless shelters, done crisis intervention, trained in crisis deescalation, and mixed martial arts and I still am constantly stressed about protecting my children in this complex. I've never been so brushed off by any kind of leadership as I have by management whose paycheck is made up of the rent is residents pay. I'm not sure if it was because I've made several complaints about the quality of the apartments (which has been poor since I moved in) or if Porsha just didn't have the time or empathy or care in the world to deal with a panicked resident, but I work with people every day and have never and would never respond to an assault the way she did. Do not rent here I can not stress this enough.

Be careful living here,high crime, homeless everywhere especially at night,these apartments are not what they seem,trust me!! Be aware of the apt manager (Pam) She'll act like a good friend untill you move in here then you'll see her true colors,even the maintenance man quit his job due to two faced people that are Thier, NO PARKING at all you'll have to park around the corner or even farther,alot of car theft,had my car broken into twice,told Pam she said nothing she can do about it to call my insurance company,the security drives around one time a night they say 2 but I don't believe it even if he or she does there in n out quickly,it's a joke, cockroaches yes I said cockroaches Thiers two different kinds here big ones and little one if you don't believe go Thier before you move in and look around by the edge of the grass you'll see for yourself,tons of them,the people that live here are really nice lots of friendly people to bad the manager has to be so nasty,two faced!! The garbage is always overflowing so where gloves you'll thank me later,Thier is dog poop all over the place I mean all over the place,when it rains and you live by the grass you'll get a nice oder of cat or dog urine,such a nice place.....NOT!! It looks ok but wait till you get in,you'll be sorry,be aware if you have children and living up stairs,the balcony toward the end of the boards are all water and dry rott your child might fall though and that no joke! If you look into equity apts there known to be super greedy I found an article on someone being evicted for owing 75 cents seems redicolous right,wrong you can look it up for yourself.If they had better management its still not worth what Thier asking, becareful and make sure you understand your lease because there going to try and get you for everything you have,I'm super happy we're I live now,I'm very thankful I got out of Thier, becareful because around the corner is what they call the crimezone,yup the crimezone,so you can tell your friends and family you live in the hood now,good luck,you've been warned!!

Crooked door, how safe! (sarcasm)

Ron and the maintenance team is always timely and efficient whenever repairs are needed, and they do a great job making sure issues are resolved quickly. It's reassuring to know that when something comes up, our concerns are taken seriously and addressed promptly. The staff is also very responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. They also make an effort to bring the community closer with events. Overall, we appreciate the excellent service and the effort the team puts into making this a comfortable place to live.

I wish I could write a better review but I'm so disappointed by what was previously a great place to rent. The buildings are quite dated and the updates that have been made are of the cheapest quality. The old carpeting in the buildings was replaced last year...we all thought what had been placed was the liner and the installation people would be returning to lay the actual carpet. No...the carpet is just that thin and it causes sound to reverberate through the halls. The vinyl flooring in some units is cheap quality and poorly installed, so that it's constantly lifting. They continue to permit cigarette smoking on patios and balconies, and public areas around the site, which means there's smoke coming in through the windows, patio/balcony doors, and vents, regardless of whether you smoke. The complex spent three years and a lot of money to update the property, with the pool and hot tub, bbq area, and clubhouse were all unavailable during this time. The big reveal after all the work reflected that the only thing changed for residents was a nicer bbq area. The pool and hot tub, and all the chaises, tables, and umbrellas are the same that have been there since my initial residency. The clubhouse, which is only open during the management's working hours (unless reserved for a private event), is gorgeous but the main change is a remodel of the office space. The management and facilities staff are the only people who use the "clubhouse," and in great part due to the hours it's accessible as well as the fact that whenever someone goes in there, it feels as if you're interrupting the office staff having their breaks, hanging out and snacking, etc. All the parking spots were redesignated this past year as "assigned" spots, in a clear attempt to increase income for the management company. Residents must pay an additional fee monthly to reserve a spot, covered or not, and there are virtually no unassigned spots for additional resident cars or guests. The office staff regularly "patrol" the parking area for parkers who aren't "registered" and when discovering someone, send an email blast to the entire community calling out the car's identifying details and threatening to have the vehicle towed within a certain number of minutes if it's not moved. During weekends, the Springwood staff tend to park in the spots reserved for "new residents." Management sends email frequently admonishing residents that they've "been told" they cannot have anything on their balconies/patios, hallways, lobbies, etc. as if the residents are young children. I don't like when people break rules meant to ensure people's enjoyment of their rented home either, but there's a way to do this respectfully and a way to make people feel bad. When there are problems with the laundry room machines, the office staff will not assist. The response is that they haven't been trained on how to use the equipment or its software and residents have to contact the vendor (which never seems to result in a response). A dryer has been non-functional for months but despite numerous requests, the management staff have done nothing to ensure that it's repaired or replaced. With only 4 washers and 4 dryers per building, having one out of order creates a difficult situation for residents trying to do their laundry. On the plus side, the maintenance staff are without exception friendly and responsive. The apartments are in a great location and the people living there are generally quite nice, but there are few amenities and the management staff sometimes make residents feel like interlopers.

Twohy Building

Paseo de San Antonio, Downtown

I'm so sad! I just moved out after having lived at Twohy for the past 2 1/2 years. I wouldn't live…read moreanywhere else in San Jose, and here's why: It was built in 1917: this place oozes character and charm. Most of the apartments I found in San Jose are newer (which is fine!), but I wanted something with a more loft-y, artsy vibe to it. Twohy doesn't disappoint. The walls are super thick, too; I never heard my neighbors...only sounds from the street outside. Also, bonus: it's a small community, and management is very attentive and responsive. Everyone I ever met there was friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic. So much to walk to. Safeway's right there for groceries, plus tons of bars and food in all price ranges (from cheap mexican to expensive steakhouses) it's all right there! You also have a movie theater right next door and MUJI across the street, not to mention VTA literally right outside your front door. Amenity-wise, included in rent was a parking spot in the Safeway parking lot (not a guaranteed spot, but I never had to park on the street even during the busy Christmas season), a gym membership at the gym across the street, and water/sewage/garbage. There are no laundry hookups in-unit, but there is a laundry room in the basement which is nice. The units have a small but lovely kitchen with decent appliances and nice fixtures in the bathroom, wood floors (YAY), tall ceilings, and huge windows which means lots of light. It's not a huge space, but then again I didn't need much space, and preferred to live in a great area of town vs having a ton of room. Overall I adored living there. If my job hadn't taken me up to the north end of the bay, I wouldn't have left! I highly recommend Twohy to those looking for a unique space in downtown San Jose.

Twohy Lofts are a CIM owned property right next to the Camera 12 cinema with the entrance on the…read more1st street side across from the light rail station. The building is pretty old and has nice charm. All the units are studios of various sizes and include a real kitchen (with fridge, sink, dishwasher, stove, oven microwave)... something not all studios offer. Not to mention AC which is great. Overall the places are nicely remodeled with hardwood, high ceilings and big windows. Only problem is the windows are single pained, letting in a LOT of noise, especially on the VTA side. Another drawback is the TV situation. They are not wired for cable (comcast or ATT), dish network is available but wasnt wired down passed the 4th floor... and direcTV is available but NOT in HD...good grief! The rent is not cheap, i think the cheapest (when I moved in) was around $1280 and I believe that was with some discounts for a 12 month lease. However, my rent came with a Bally's membership (right across the street) and parking at the 2nd/San Carlos garage... not bad. If it wasn't so expensive I'd give it 4 stars. Add some dual pained windows and Comcast or ATT cable lines (or direcTV HD lines) and it could be 5 stars. Overall its ok, location is great but there are some drawbacks.

My wife and I really love the place, and wanted to renew our contract when it is time to. That is until today. I'm not a great cook but I'm adequate and know my way around the kitchen. I tried to fry a scallion pancake with an egg today, and turned on the range hood under the microwave, that is also above the stove to the lower setting; like how I always have done over the years for the same food. It's not deep fry, so normally no need to turn it to the biggest setting. A few minutes later, the fire alarm rang. I looked up and saw light white smoke, which the range hood should have sucked up. My food was just turning a golden brown color, which means it's perfectly cooked. I am really pissed off that the range didn't do its job and that in turn made the fire alarm go off. This is just one of those things that makes or breaks the experience. Why the hell would you have a gas based stove paired with such a low suction powered range hood?! It's common sense that when you have a lower powered range hood, you should pair it with an electric stove top. When you have a gas based real fire stove top, you need to have a higher powered range hood. Who designed this shit for the apartment!? That individual/company need to be fired! That is just unsafe practice and a lack of common sense.

What made The Meadows so great was the combination of the people, the property, and the location. The management and maintenance teams were wonderful throughout my time here, the community was friendly, and the grounds were always exceptionally clean and beautifully maintained. There's a ton of greenery throughout the property, and it always felt like the people taking care of the community genuinely cared about making it a nice place to live. That experience started before I even moved in. The leasing staff took the time to understand what I was looking for and helped me find a unit that fit my preferences. They were even gracious enough to work with me on getting a better deal. Looking back, that first interaction was a pretty good indication of how I'd be treated over the next three years. I also really appreciated how reasonable management was when it came to renewals. Even with the rent-control limits on annual increases, my rent generally went up by less than what they could have charged. I never felt like management was trying to squeeze as much as possible out of existing residents, which unfortunately isn't something I can say about every apartment community in the Bay Area. Maintenance was excellent too, although, honestly, the fact that I only had a single maintenance request in more than three years probably says something on its own. When I did need help, everyone I interacted with was friendly and helpful. The Meadows is also easily one of the cleanest apartment communities I've ever seen. When I moved in, it was obvious that they had put real care into preparing and cleaning the unit. As someone who is pretty particular about keeping my own home clean, I appreciated that. I noticed the same attention to detail when I moved out and saw the cleaning checklist they use to prepare apartments for the next resident. It was surprisingly close to the kind of checklist I'd make myself. My apartment had wonderful natural light and became an incredibly cozy home for me. I faced the expressway, and while there was a small amount of road noise, it was never enough to really bother me. More than anything, I loved coming home every day. That may be the simplest and most important compliment I can give a place where I spent more than three years. The location was great as well. There are restaurants and grocery stores nearby, plenty of good routes for running and walking, and it's incredibly easy to get onto highways. The property itself also has great amenities, and I particularly appreciated how well the gym was maintained. Despite being so conveniently located, the community always felt comfortable and safe. I never felt uneasy living or walking around here. There were also community events throughout the year that brought residents together. I certainly didn't go to every one, but I appreciated that they existed and that management put real effort into making The Meadows feel like a community rather than just a collection of apartments. Even moving out was surprisingly easy. Everything was handled professionally and straightforwardly, without unnecessary stress or surprises. It was nice that my last experience with the management team was just as positive as my first. The only reason I moved was because I wanted to live in a different part of the Bay Area. It had nothing to do with The Meadows itself. Over the years I visited plenty of other apartment communities where friends and coworkers lived, and I honestly never came away wishing I had chosen somewhere else. It's rare to leave an apartment feeling genuinely sad to go, but The Meadows really became home for me. I looked forward to coming home every day, and I'm incredibly happy I stayed as long as I did. (ps. videos are from the day I moved out; the place looks even better after they take a pass before the next tenant's move in)

Highlighting a few key points about this complex: Management/Maintenance: Michael Abundiz has been very responsive to any issues in the complex and sends out update emails to everyone. Maintenance team is very friendly and quick for repairs. You can submit things on the portal to notify them. For example, I've submitted requests to change out the bulbs in some of the lamps when they die out around the complex since I walk my dog frequently at night. Dog Friendly: It's super DOG FRIENDLY and my pup loves playing with all the neighborhood doggos during our walks. I feel safe walking my dog here since it's a gated community, even late at night when I've had to walk him at 1am or 4am. There's also plenty of grassy areas to bring him to potty unlike other complexes where you have to go down several floors to a small dirt patch. There's also a very large dog gated park you can drive to about a few minutes drive (Watson Park) you can bring your pups. Accessible Location: All the major highways (680, 101, 880) are easily accessible. It's also close to everything you'll need - There's a huge Safeway a few streets down, Costco about 5min away, and down the street are gas stations, 7-11, Starbucks, and the Bart station. Target, Lowe's, Sprouts, H-Mart, post office are about a 10-15min drive away street route. Japantown is 5min drive to downtown. Amenities: In-unit washer/dryer, AC in the living room, heater in the bedroom, pool, hot tub, small gym, patio/balcony, 1 covered carport and 1 additional pass for an open parking space, electric chargers in select spaces, etc.
