Single studio rent for $2100/mo, approx 600 square feet. Cost of rent is not bad, but water/garbage is always $110-120/month regardless if you leave on vacation and never use the water or have your water on 24 hours a day (for a single tenant, not sure if it would cost more with a family). Security deposit is $500. They will charge you apartment cleaning for $140 regardless if you keep the place well-kept or not. Only 3 washers and 4 driers in the entire complex. $2to wash, another $2 to dry. Only one parking carport per apartment and there is no street parking. No pets allowed. Location is on busy Jefferson and El Camino so there are always fire truck sirens and car noises 24 hours a day. not worth it the manager never there punch of lies worst experience ever do not live there you will regret it

I lived 3 years in this complex between 2016 and 2019. The experience was great overall. Biggest advantages are:1. Location. One of the greatest things about this complex is its location. Its address has score of 91 out of 100 for walking and 83 for biking according to walkscore.com. It has Whole Foods and Safeway literally across the street. Great variety of restaurants (some of them are open  late and one doughnut place is even 24/7). Caltrain station and stadium within 5-6 minutes of walk. Everything that Downtown Redwood City has to offer within 10-15 minute walk.2. Apartments are truly spacious. Even if you exclude utility parts of the apartment such as kitchen, bathroom and hallway you still end up with a living area with widths approximately 15 feet and length over 20 feet. We could easily fit a queen bed, Ikea's table for 4 with chairs, a sofa, working table with chair, a dresser and there was still enough room left to be able to exercise and rotate hula hoop and there never was a feeling of a "tight space". This apartment spoiled us because when we were looking for the next one it was not easy to find an apartment with big enough living area.3. There are two towers in the complex and I lived in the one that faces South-West. I can assert that apartments in that tower on the middle and top floors receive generous amount of natural light and are very bright. This, unfortunately, makes them hot in summer because there is no A/C.4. Managers and other staff members have always been nice and great to work with. For example they never begin loud work before 9 am.5. Our move-out experience was smooth and pleasant. Partially it is likely because we lived longer than 36 months there and had some of the potential fees waived.Things I wish were better:1. Pool is not heated. It is not exposed to direct sunlight and we could swim there on a particularly hot summer days only.2. I wish the complex was pet friendly. 3. The walls are averagely thin. Your experience depends purely on the luck. We had one upstairs neighbor between 2016 and 2017 who was stomping very loudly. They were so loud that sometimes neighbors from left or right side of that apartment would have to knock their walls. But when they moved out neither of the next occupants bothered us.In conclusion - the location of this complex is superb and unfortunately  rent price reflects it. In my opinion it is nevertheless worth it.

I have lived here for about 2 months now, so far I love it here. It's centrally locates, walking distance to grocery stores, the movie theater, and many places to eat!! You get one parking spot in a covered garage per unit. Which is a bit difficult if you have more then one vehicle. The manager Niza is really nice, she always has a warm welcoming smile, and has been very helpful. The units are a bit dark, and don't have any windows aside from the sliding door. The stove is a bit tight. Overall it's a really nice place to live
