Tavera at Otay Ranch

Living here is great yeah cool. However, the only address on file for any type of GPS find or delivery is the leasing office. Technically only the leasing office is on the map. Every time we order something it never gets to our door, we end playing hide and seek with the leasing office. I recommend this place but maybe give it a year or two before your address becomes real.

My wife and I are moving in next week and are looking forward to it. Ive been on deployment the last 9 months so my wife did all the work looking for the right place for us to move to, and she did it while single handedly caring for our new 1 month old baby girl and by being on the east coast.
The leasing specialist Daniel eased our stress and made sure we had every question answered and helped us apply for the apartment online. He’s been amazing to our family and if his professionalism and courtesy is a refelection of what it will be like living there then i cant wait!
The pictures of our apartment that daniel took for us look amazing, love the tile back splash and very nice stainless steel appliances. WE cant wait to call Tavera home. And Applying was easy thanks to daniel and the rest of the office staff as well. THANK YOU!!!

I have been living here at Tavera Apartments now for over a week and I absolutely love it here! The finishes are just what I expected them to be and look like… great quality and very modern! Even though they are rentals you honestly forget because they give you that feel like a house does they are very warm and homey they are more like condos! Now let me get to the best part of living here… the staff!!! My husband is currently on deployment and I also just came from overseas not too long ago so I was staying in Vegas with family until I found a place for us in San Diego and I came across Tavera online and I literally called them numerous times daily with tons of questions I was quite the handful and they happily took the time to make sure all of my questions and needs were met, even after I moved in anything I needed they were literally at my service especially Mr. Daniel Silvia he was so patient and so kind and his energy was so positive and welcoming if he was trying to rent me a hutt I literally would take it as long as he was part of the staff!!! The staff at any place I rent is so important because those are the people who are responsible for taken care of my needs and concerns and I can honestly say I know my family and I are going to be very well taken care of here! I rented my apartment sight unseen and I must admit I was a little nervous that the pictures I saw were too good to be true but when I first went into my apartment I literally wanted to jump up and down because it looked exactly like the pictures i was sent… exactly! Yes the rent is not the cheapest but trust me when I say they are worth every penny! The neighborhood is great and I love that we are very close to the Otay Ranch shopping center, the mall and great restaurants like P.F. Changs and Cheesecake Factory and many more, I would definitely recommend them a thousand times over to anyone who is in the market!!!

Originally built to be sold, they turned into rentals. We found these beauties when we were still about 3K miles away and were looking for a good sized place for our semi huge family of minions. I have to say renting a place sight unseen is kinda wait no absolutely nerve wrecking but we did it. And here we are a month later and loving the place. 3 story townhomes with 3 different floor plan layouts.
Your options are 3 bedroom 3 baths or 3 bedrooms + den & 2.5 baths. We’ve got the second option and turned the den on the first floor into a bedroom for our oldest minion. The rooms are very decently sized all with closets minus the den.
Pros:
— The views! I love LOVE that we can see Mexico from the south side of our house and from the North we over look Otay Ranch High School and the hills.
— The bathrooms are very nice with under granite mounting which I love for some odd reason.
— 2 car garage w/​openers and it’s very nicely sized. My husband has taken over half of it and made it into his man cave so he can drink & play video games without hearing me complain about the lack of help with the laundry.
— Our balcony is decent size and we don’t have one next to our neighbors. I love this feature. Ours is in front while the neighbors on either side are in back. Gives for a tad bit of privacy.
— The whole place is prewired! Love it. Our satellite company had no issues coming in, mounting the dish above our garage where the builders had already placed the wiring.
— Every unit has full sized washer and dryers. BEAUTIFUL! Love ‘em. Love the front loaders so much. They are stacked which helps on space.
— The cabinets are beautiful dark maple coloring and our counters are a pretty granite. I’m not a granite person. Actually when I watch House Hunters I bitch at the people who demand granite, but my goodness they are awesome!
— All the appliances in the place are by Whirlpool, stainless steel and amazing. Love the stove. I love gas and get so bummed every time we end up in a place with an electric one. And I love the «warmer/​griddle» section on the stove.
— The walk in closet in the master bedroom is a tad too small to me BUT take that with a grain of salt. Our last place in Kentucky had a walk in that was the size of a small bedroom. I’m just spoiled at times.
— There is a nice linen storage cabinet on the third floor. Makes it nice when your kids forget to grab a towel BEFORE they go into the shower and you refuse to run up the stairs to rescue them.
CONS:
— 3 floors. It gets tiring running up & down the stairs all day keeping track of heathen kids.
— Carpet only on the 1^st and 3^rd floor. (Again take this with a grain of salt. After living over 3 yrs w/​hard wood floors w/​kids and dogs I loathe hard floors and dream of carpet)
— No amenities. NONE. ZERO. No partnership w/​the neighboring communities for pool use. No dog run. No playground. Nada. BUT there is stuff supposed to be built within the next year. That is the downside to moving into a BRAND NEW community. Thank goodness the YMCA takes about 6 minutes to get to.
— The traffic isn’t heavy here BUT it’s fast. Like 50 MPH fast because there are no speed limits and the city doesn’t have jurisdiction over it yet as it’s still in the developers hands. Yes I’ve already called and complained to the city after almost getting hit by some jackass as I was putting the baby heathen in his car seat.
— Rent is pretty steep for a place w/​no amenities.
Overall so we love it here and are anxiously awaiting to see what else is built around here.
