Moved out after two years living here and only wished I could have moved out sooner. Everything about this place looks great when viewing the apartment, that is until you move in and the reality sets in. To start, there is very limited parking here. Each apartment or townhouse has one covered parking spot assigned to them, but each unit has two or more cars. There are very few additional spaces, which are shared between guests and tenants. So parking in the evening becomes a complete pain! There
...is little or no turn-over of the cars in the open parking. The water and waste charges are not calculated per individual unit usage! Instead the complex receives one bill that is split across the entire complex. For me it was $70 every month for the 24 months I was there, whether I used little or a lot of water? Conservation be damned! The washing machines in the laundry facilities are always broken so your clothes are sopping wet before going into dryers. The water pipes in the complex are lead and they have both lead paint and asbestos in the walls and ceilings..eeeek! Even the simplest of maintenance issues take weeks to resolve, the front office is always waiting on approval from the property owners... We had serious issues with mold in our unit, which required repeat deep cleanings every month during late Fall, Winter and Spring or basically whenever it rained for more than a day. Smoking is prohibited in multi- tenant buildings in Marin but apparently this doesn’t apply here as everyone smokes on their patio or balcony so expect a lot of second hand smoke if you want to open your windows. Sadly there are a lot of irresponsible dog owners in this complex so watch where you step! Rent was increased after my first year and also second year, but I left before the second increase. The front office also tries to ‘nickle and dime’ you when moving out – say bye bye to your deposit. In summation, I would not recommend these apartments to my worst enemy. Be fair warned!
