Renter beware!
March 26, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
My bathroom did not have a window or a vent fan. The courtyard on the first floor floods. The laundry machines eat your quarters, and then dryer requires at least two cycles. The water was shut off for almost two weeks while I was there, amid a seemingly unceasing series of plumbing repairs. In August or September of 2024 (I'm not sure because they locked me out of the tenant portal) mgmt began charging fees for the electricity for the lights in common areas and gas for the laundry hot water, ...
which we weren't notified about until mid-October.
I had to move parking spots multiple times because the property manager assigned to our building changed 3 or 4 times in the 2 years I was there, and they don't keep good records, so my spot was given to an incoming resident.
The cherry on top was the charge of $600 from my security deposit. I have never been charged for anything on move out, and I cleaned this place better than I've ever cleaned an apartment. They charged me $200 for cleaning, and over $400 for painting. California law states that landlords cannot charge for "general wear-and-tear" but Coastline Equity really wanted to keep my money.
Otherwise, I liked the location, and Jesus the super is really cool. But I gotta say, you're probably better off renting somewhere else.
