    I love the Shift community. There are tons of good people. The staff and management are very professional and helpful. I highly recommend taking a tour of any of the model apartments and considering Shift to call your home.

    The staff are friendly and always provide assistance within a reasonable time. However, the elevator and the third-floor hallway carpet appear quite dirty and have an unpleasant odor.

    I absolutely adore my home and the community of people I live amongst. Everyone is so kind to eachother. The roof is unbelievably beautiful especially at night when all the lights are lit up really emphasizing the city views and the bay/bridge. It is a pet friendly community and everyone picks up after their animals. It's very clean and tidy. Also, the no smoking rule is a plus!

    So far I’m extremely happy with the building, I’m just bummed because my apartment is directly near the garbage deposal and the dumpster so there are thousands of fruit flies everywhere. Also certain payments that I’ve made haven’t been updated so every month I can’t pay my rent by mobile. I have to go to the bank, get a cashiers check and pay the accurate pricing. Just wish communication was better :(

    Love the floor plans and finishes! It’s nice they do events but usually at residents own expense, for example full price food trucks. They do nice ones occasionally though! Wish there were more. Most of all, I wish the change in management a few times would slow down and have better communication from new management. For instance, I still don’t get community updates and my husband forwards them. The biggest thing for us is neglect of the community maintenance. Sadly they charge move outs for ...
    damage but don’t even keep up their hallways. Dirty carpets for years that need painting, more regular painting to keep up the cleanliness and the window washing we were promised for a year now. The regional is the best part of Shift. He cares and tries but needs better approvals and team on site for better rents & experiences.

    Windows haven't been washed in 2.5 years. Garage doors have been non operational for months now. No transparency as to when either are getting fixed. Despite both of these, rent continues to increase on lease renewal by default without push back.

    for the most part everything has been great. from staff to amenities. and a few has room for improvement. the sidewalk around the premises are unbearable to walk, they smell really bad because of the dog pee and poop. you guys need to use soap when power washing it. its been attracting a lot of flies.
