  • Super Easy

    August 18, 2015
    The best thing about this apartment complex is the easy access to everything- it's a piece of cake to get on the 78 (Palomar is only 7 minutes away, door-to-door), and from there you're equidistant to both I-5 and I-15, making things not a hassle to get north to Camp Pendleton, Temecula, or LA; or south to San Diego. Additionally, there's a Wal-Mart and a Target easily within walking distance, as are many other shops and a few food places. Parking's not bad here- maybe not amazing, but ...
    definitely not bad, including if you're going to have guests over. My 2br/2ba feels fairly spacious, and there are plenty of outlets in all the rooms making hooking things up easy. As a nice bonus, the structure seems relatively soundproof from neighbors. Now for the bad parts: (1) the pool is only 4ft deep and is an awkward shape if you're trying to use it for exercise. (2) I was told I was moving into a unit with upgraded countertops- if these are upgraded, I don't want to know what not upgraded is. (3) I was promised central air, and while I can see there's a system, it definitely doesn't work, and they haven't fixed it. (4) Rent hikes. (5) Highway noise, lots of it, all hours of the day. (6) Maintenance guy noise- while the maintenance guys couldn't be bothered to fix my AC, they apparently CAN be bothered to use leaf blowers, edge trimmers, lawn mowers, etc. literally 6 days a week, for hours and hours at a time, outside my windows. Not exaggerating. On the balance, this place is pretty good, but it's useful to have realistic expectations of the problems.
