Building is nice, management not so much

March 26, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I want to be fair upfront — the on-site staff are great, the building is solid new construction (never hear my neighbors), the location is nice, and Timeless Coffee downstairs is a genuine perk. If this were just about the building, it’d be four stars. But since Sares-Regis took over management, the tenant experience has tanked. The overall vibe from management is adversarial. Every minor issue — trash left in a common area, for instance — gets a building-wide email that reads like a legal ...
threat. Cameras will be checked, charges will be brought. It’s constant, and it sets a tone that makes you feel like a liability instead of a resident. When they first took over, I had urgent maintenance requests open including a ceiling leak and a broken fridge. Radio silence. I had to physically walk into the office to get any response. The previous management company had also been handling renters insurance for a lot of tenants, and those policies quietly lapsed during the transition. Instead of giving people a reasonable heads-up, Sares-Regis stuck 3-day cure-or-quit notices on our doors. For a problem they inherited. Common areas are locked down outside of limited hours — can’t access them early morning or late at night. This is my home, not an office building. On the lease side, the previous company offered a 2-month concession on a 14-month lease and renewed it yearly. Sares-Regis replaced that with a 2-week concession, while advertising a 4+ week “look and lease” deal to new tenants. So existing tenants get a worse deal than someone walking in off the street. I’ve been here over two years, have an income around 8x the rent, and they still denied my application to transfer to a 1-bedroom because of a past bankruptcy — completely ignoring my actual payment history. So now I’m stuck paying month-to-month for a junior 1-bed that costs more than a 1-bedroom, with no options. A note on the unit itself: the “green” HVAC system barely functions. Heating and AC are essentially nonexistent. West-facing units with the big windows become a greenhouse. Dishwasher doesn’t really work either. The bones of this building are great and the on-site staff deserve better than the company above them. Also worth noting — shortly after Sares-Regis took over, they held a raffle where the entry requirement was leaving a 5-star review. So take the glowing reviews with a grain of salt. If you’re considering living here, just understand what you’re dealing with on the management side.

First of all, I want to give a huge thank you to Jowanna, Nicole, and Erwann, because of them I was able to get in a quick tour, sign my paper work, have my apartment of choice inspected, and moved in at a timely manner. Before applying I was so stressed as I needed to find a place quickly that met all my needs. Let me just say, the view is incredible! As an artist I enjoy going up to the top rooftop (yes, there's more than one) and setting up my easel and painting. The other amenities are ...
nice as well, including a rooftop pool, gym, and more. I don't have a pet, but there's a pretty decent size dog park/run. Jowanna was even nice to ask me if I'd prefer being on a floor with less dogs, not that I mind but someone might. I enjoy that it's located in the center of the night time action, but tucked off in a way you still feel safe. I also really appreciate the decent size parking lot and constant security around the place. Jaz and all the rest of the security have been really nice and welcoming and all contributed in some way of making my move easier. Thanks guys.

My experience with ZO Apartments has been great! Nicole is literal sunshine. I also love all the amenities that are available to us. Having BART and a billion bus stops just 2 blocks is such a plus! The place is clean and well-maintained. There are also FREE events that come with FREE food. This Christmas, I didn't even need to buy wrapping paper, tape, or tags because there was a station provided to us for that too. That said, most of the issues that arose seem to be due to tennants, i.e. the ...
occassional smell of weed in the hallways despite management's incessant reminders that smoking indoors is prohibited, the recycling and trash chute being clogged due to someone disposing a carpet in the chute, etc. ZO Apartments is a great place to live. I highly recommend!

It was going so well. Then none of the promises were made. There’s continual change in property managers, nothing can ever get done. None of my issues have been properly addressed. If I could afford to move, I would.

Honestly it's been fine ish but management has changed over like 5 times since we've moved in, they've lost countless documents, and everything seems to be broken (trash chute, front door, all the elevators, etc.) With all of that they're somehow increasing our rent $300/month? I don't know how people can justify moving in somewhere that doesn't maintain the basic facilities (like doors and elevators) to live.

I would keep looking

August 18, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
I've lived here 2+ years and will not renew my lease for another year. The maintenance is extremely slow to respond to repair requests, you really have to keep at it to get stuff done. Old appliances will not be replaced despite them falling apart, repeatedly. The management seems to change quite often, it seems nobody lasts very long at the leasing office. The concierge desk is empty a lot of the time, especially at night, compared to a year ago. I was considering renewing my lease earlier on, ...
but they would not offer us the same rent credit that they do for a new tenant and that was the last straw. People are moving out but I’ve not seen anybody move in. Based on Zo’s public website there are some 50+units empty currently. There are cheaper options in newer buildings right in the neighborhood so I would keep looking if I were you.

July 8, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
I've been disappointed with how change has rolled out at this community. We recently were assigned parking, but there are no repercussions if someone is parked in your assigned spot. This has caused significant frustration between residents. Overall I find some of the staff dismissive and lazy. Some of the staff lack the autonomy to help on certain issues, too, which is frustrating when the decision maker is unavailable. The staff also replaced our concierge with security, which was a foolish ...
decision. The concierge staff used to provide so much community, and they were more diligent about making sure packages were handled safely and not just tossed in the mailroom. We don't need security; we need 24/7 concierge. I will be moving out at the end of my lease.
