The Gallery is a beautiful apartment on the outside. The landscaping is gorgeous and well kept, the buildings and hallways are clean, the office staff seem courteous and helpful. However, after my first week living in this apartment, I deeply regretted living here.
Let's get the positives out the way, because there are very few:
Beautiful landscape
Close to freeways, grocery stores, shopping, etc
Nice park near by
Decent cost for the area
Alright 1)There is absolutely no parking nearby. You
...will regularly have to park your car 1/2 a mile away and walk to your apartment. They provide each tenant with 1 parking space, and there is no where to park if you have more than 1 car in your family. They tell you that there is street parking, but they are lying. 2) The neighborhood is sketchy and has frequent car break ins. My car has been broken into while INSIDE the gated parking lot. My roommate's car was broken into as well. The leasing staff response: "That's not my problem". Safety and security is not a priority. The gate is frequently broken. 3) The leasing staff, with the exception of 1 woman, are disrespectful and treat you like children. They question you like police officers and assert their pseudo authority at any chance they get. I've seen them make children get out of the pool because they didn't have "real" swim suits, even though the children were supervised by a parent and wearing tanktops and shorts. They have questioned me and my guest about our business using the bbq area, because they have a no noise (at 12 noon on a Sunday) policy. I understand the need for rules and safety, however the staff take it upon themselves to uphold the letter of the law and treat you like you live in college dormitory, not an apartment. 4) ROACHES! I'm very clean and have never had roaches at any other residence in MY LIFE. However, all the tenants report a roach problem. It's disgusting.
Overall, I'd recommend this apartment to families with 1 car, who don't mind rude office staff, roaches, or car theft.
