1369 Reeve St Apartments

something would go wrong in the apartments, we were sure to get an accusatory text. The water comes out cloudy and quite rusty, the repair over the years have been shoty leading to a decrepit patchy state of disrepair, the parking is tight, but the price was right. Good luck to anyone moving in. We hope you enjoy it. PS we could hear our upstairs neighbor having sex far too easily.

anything larger than a small four door sedan, you will be crossing your fingers that you can fit your car inside the allotted space without hitting the car parked next to you, or allowing yourself room to squeeze out when exiting your car. The apartments themselves are small, with no cross ventilation, no AC, along with poor insulation, which means extremely hot in the summer and extremely cold in the winter. The kitchen water is constantly and mysteriously cloudy, and the shower is filled with outdated, crappy fixtures that don't even spray the water effectively. The kitchen is too small, with counter space that can barely accommodate a dish rack and a microwave, and if you live downstairs, you will hear every movement of your upstairs neighbor. The trash receptacles aren't returned promptly after trash day, which means there are times you will need to walk all the way towards the driveway in the front of the building to empty your trash. One time, three days elapsed before the trash bins were returned to their rightful spots! If you invite friends, a word of warning; street parking is nonexistent. Your friends will have to park blocks away sometimes, since the street is filled with similar apartments with multiple residents, all of who have cars. Finally, a trio of surprises. One, you will need to pay for a mailbox key at the local post office to access your mailbox. I have lived in various apartments throughout my life, and have never had to deal with this expense. Second, Santa Clara is very "special". It's the only city that I have lived in where I have had to pay two utility bills; PG & E for gas, and Santa Clara Utilities for electricity because SC uses its own company. Finally, the only internet provider you can use is AT & T; for some reason the wiring only accommodates this company. DO.NOT.RENT.HERE!
