Although Lenka, Allysa, Michael, and the entire staff are kind, courteous, and make efforts towards making The View at Marin a safe environment to live, there are many reasons why this once heavily sought after complex has turned into a place I would never want to call home again.
To start, there is 24/7 noise around the clock. The walls in each unit are paper thin, so voices roam offering little to no privacy. People and kids run, jump, and stomp up and down the staircases that adjoin the
...units, and ride bikes in the street causing more commotion and chaos. Cars coming in and out often blast their loud music and speed, regardless of the speed bumps, children at play and pet owners walking their pups.
The biggest reason why this place shouldn't be your new home is because of the mismanagement, miscommunication, and lack of professionalism that took place when we discovered water damage + mold saturating our bottom floor in the den and living room, along with mildew and more mold growth in our window sill. We had to pick up and relocate to another temporary unit onsite while renovations for the water damage and mold were being conducted. Within the projected 4 week timeline, contractors/vendors also discovered that water damage and mold was more than anyone could have anticipated. The project was completed almost 6 months later. In that time, our truck was broken into with all of its tools/belongings stolen. The master apartment keys were left in our original apartment door because a contractor simply "forgot to take them out". We had to then install more cameras to provide extra security, and it was only then that we learned multiple unknown contractors had access to our unit and even captured videos of them roaming around our apartment without permission. We also noticed that those same contractors were storing extra material in our place to help serve other renovations for apartments near us.
While the temp unit was livable, we had to make multiple complaints about roaches, and also experienced a main window with mold and water damage. I could go on and on as these few examples are only the tip of the iceberg, however I just want to raise an awareness to anyone considering moving here. Be aware of living in an old building with major foundational problems, a management staff that has little help to offer, and The FPI management company that has let The View of Marin get run into the ground.
