  • Sale Removes Inept Regional and Onsite Management

    February 9, 2025
    I moved into my unit at the Plaza in 2023 and have been more than disappointed by the lack of community and detached management. Recent developments at the Plaza indicate that the Sares Regis' onsite manager, a short, portly groveler, and a disinterested, flaky, inept regional manager, will be departing the Plaza. This news has been met with relief by many who have found the current Plaza leadership lacking. Challenges Faced The experience under the current management has been described as ...
    tough, with a significant level of dissatisfaction among many residents and others. The phrase "it would be hard to set the bar any lower" suggests that the outgoing incompetent management has performed poorly, leading to a desire among the residents for change. Celebration Plans While there is a sense of celebration in the air due to the impending changes, it is noted that any festivities should be postponed until Sares Regis and their management team have completely vacated their positions. There is a cautious optimism among residents that things will improve.

    With generally responsive staff (both management and maintenance), and amenities including in-unit w/d, ample affordable parking, and spaces to do my favorite activities (swim, yoga, gym), The Plaza is just off the freeway and is in a nice location.
