Aviana Apartments

We lived in Aviana apartments almost two years and moved out only because of job relocation. This place was our real home, our manager Roma as well as Leo and all guys who work there react immediately on any request and suggestion, everything is clean and well-​maintained. We still miss our remodeled unit with cool view and would definitely go back to Aviana if we were returning to CA :)

DO NOT LIVE HERE! I lived here in 2008 and after six months they increased the cost of the rent despite promising they would not do it within the first year. Not only that, I moved out and they kept my deposit despite not having any reason at all. They justified it saying that some screws were missing or something insignificant like that. Please check all the filtered reviews and you’ll see that they have been scamming so many people. Go to the end of this page and click on «filtered» and you’ll see about 20 more reviews, most of them from people who have been scammed by Aviana. Living here was a big mistake, I regret it so much!

Lived here for 8 years. The newest management of the last 3 – 4 years is great.
The unit size and spacing between them are both good, the grounds are appealing and well-​kept (e.g. sit under the stars next to the pool at night), and I had no complaints with management, who were fair and responsive. The other facilities (tiny gym and pool) were ‘fine’ — they weren’t luxury but served their purpose. The TV room is a nice addition and you bump into neighbors.
I really hesitated to move out b/​c the place really grew on me but I wanted a bigger place with built in washer/​dryer closer to work.

Good location and my brief stay (3 months) was without incident. The apartments were fairly spacious and the kitchen was gorgeous. However, I’m only giving it 3 stars because they will eat your security deposit and more so just for normal wear and tear. If I had not just been in the area for an internship I would have taken them to a small claims court, but alas, it was not worth it in my situation.
Then again … it’s a managed complex and many in the area are infamous when it comes to security deposits.

i would not recommend living here. it’s not worth it and that’s why i’m moving out. the management has a whole slew of problems, they have no real sense of accounting and claim that we owe them much more than we in fact do. in fact, there is a dispute about every single month that we have lived there, despite the fact that we have a signed lease with the rent stated clearly on it. in trying to get this all sorted out, they are very intimidating, i think because they are backed by a very large management company who cares not about the tenants but about the money.
i will say that it looks nice, but also be careful because there is a bit of a pest problem, at least we had some issues in our kitchen that i can’t believe is due to our cleaning habits… it looks nice and is in a good location, but the management is not worth the price.

Having lived here for a full year in the «newly renovated» Aviana Apartments I have one thing to say: DO NOT LIVE HERE.
Sure, the grounds look nice and the apartments themselves are clean, even «updated» (read: crappy, noxious paint job with cheap appliances) but the real weaknesses of this place lie in their management. Or lack thereof.
We have consistently had trouble getting managers to respond to our questions in a timely manner, often choosing to ignore our simple questions altogether. This is due, in large part, the fact that the building managers clearly have no real power or authority. They just do what they are told by some mysterious, clueless and greedy Owner. Who, by the way, could care less about clean, pay-​on-​time tenants so long as there’s a bigger buck to be made.
The maintenance person here has changed several times in the short 12 months that we’ve lived here, meaning a varying degree of attentiveness and quality.
So, if you don’t mind being treated like a check and dealing with problems that either go away too slowly or never resolve, by all means. You’re welcome to our apartment as soon as our lease is up. But there are places just as nice with caring management all over Mountain View.
