Grand Oaks

Well, to start. Way too much money for what it actually is, considering a 3 bedroom on the outskirt of town costs more than a town house in downtown San Diego, and theyll charge you MORE for roommates/ other humans. The gym is like a daycare half the time. Whole families in there with small children, not to mention its never heated in the winter. Ive asked a few times and gotten ignored by the property manager to turn some heat on. The maintenance guys are great and always working hard no matter what the temperature extremes are, and theyre pretty on top of fixing something if needed. I tried it once and I definitely wont move back. Parking SPOTS were promised at the beginning and we got one, plus a tiny, narrow, half a car garage that you can barely fit your car into, IF you dont run into it at some point. And if you work late, dont even think about having a parking spot when you get home. Youll have to park far away and walk. Our downstairs neighbor was awful and kept turning us in for sound disturbances and came banging on our door at 11pm when we were all sleeping, as if shes not surrounded by college kids to yell at us for not even doing anything. Some gym equipment was down for about a month, and the pool was locked a couple times over the summer for about a week each time. As far as the houses surrounding the rest of the neighborhood, Ive been stopped and harassed by other neighbors to ask me what I was doing in the middle of the summer when I was exercising and minding my own business. As if I wasnt welcome. The neighbors in the complex were okay most of the time. Id be miserable too if I had to pay $3k/ month for a basic apartment in a small town alone. Not possible to live in financially without roommates, and even more so if you tell them you have some. People also arent respectful with animal waste at all, and the complex doesnt hold residents accountable. The three stars are for the poor maintenance guys that literally do EVERYTHING to the point you can tell theyre overworked. In the miserable summer heat and after ice storms when everything is shut down. I can usually justify paying extra for amenities, but I cant say Im a fan when everything was inaccessible a good chunk of my time there, especially with how much money they make off of rent.

Lived here for a year. Moving in we had a couple issues (apartment wasn't ready for a day, only had one key for a week). Price was okay but everything else was solid. Maintenance was fast and nice. The thin-twin washer dryer combo was not good at washing bed sheets or comforters, but I dont think most units have them.

This is a lovely community, with beautiful and carefully planned amenities. I find this to also be a quiet community which is great for students, families and seniors. The staff are very responsive and helpful. Where else would one want to live?

I love it here. I have made this my home and I am very comfortable.
