Renters Reviews and Ratings
Great Management and Great Location
June 25, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
This is our third year at Metro510.
Excellent Staff: Across the board, staff are very responsive, competent, and friendly. Michael, the Complex Manager, is excellent and very helpful Julio and newcomer Jesus have significant experience in maintenance and repairs. All three of them handle requests quickly and competently.
Building +s: Dedicated Amazon locker, small resident lounge with tea and a Starbucks coffee machine. Several resident parties a year, including Easter egg hunt for kids. ...
Building Improvements: New boiler, new EV chargers coming to the garage. Some cosmetic improvements as well – new hall and outside lighting. Improved landscaping.
Superb Location: Close to services and stores. Very walkable. Adjacent to El Cerrito Plaza –a Trader Joes and Lucky just steps away. A large CVS. UPS and FEDEX close by. Nearby post office and three banks (Chase Wells Fargo and Mechanics). A short walk up San Pablo to two very good Chinese restaurants near El Cerrito Theater. A bit longer walk to Solano Avenue’s collection of good restaurants. Whole Foods on Gilman a 10 minute bus ride away.
Transport: El Cerrito BART 5-8 minutes away. Multiple AC buses there and on San Pablo Avenue.
Noise: Our apartment does not face the Ohlone Trail and so can't comment on noise from BART there. No serious noise problems in our apartment - from BART or the street..

Convenient commute, nice unit
February 13, 2018 - Review from Apartments.com
The units are new and very nice. It's close to parks and playgrounds for my daughter, and easy for me to take BART into SF. Trader Joe's and Starbucks is walking distance, as well as a little mainstreet with shops and restaurants. It's also pet friendly, which is a huge plus for me, as well as the air conditioning. I haven't tried the BBQ area yet but i'm looking forward to it. The leasing process was super easy which was nice after other experiences I've had.
Great so far
February 13, 2018 - Review from Apartments.com
My wife and I moved in two months ago. Management is very responsive and it made move-in pretty easy. We both commute and the fact that the BART station is walking distance has proved a lot more convenient and quicker door to door than I thought. There are restaurants and coffee shops we can walk to as well. I like the hardwood floors as well and the appliances work well. We haven't had any noise or other issues.
