Aztec Pacific Apartments

This has got to be the worst complex I’ve ever lived at; practically no amenities. The walls are paper thin so you can hear everything, parking is unregulated so your spot is constantly being taken, there is no guest parking, the laundry costs almost 30 – 40 $ a month extra, there is dog crap ⁵⁄₇ days a week scattered all over the complex because people let there dogs off the leash to wander the place, the location is very noisy, the apartment staff has poor communication and there’s freaking roaches. I left 4 months earlier just because how gross this place is. Do yourself a favor, spend an extra day or two searching instead of settling here. It’s stupid over priced for such a dump.

Thankfully Erica (the property manager i mentioned before) fought my battle for me long after i was gone and I’m finally getting refunded after they switched utility companies. I had thought i would just have to let it go but she never forgot me and kept checking on me. Great people and if i ever live in san diego again ill be there.

Aztec Pacific has treated myself and my husband like old friends since we called to inquire about moving in during April 2011. We still have the same on-​site manager, Erica, who is now our manager. She moved up from being Assistant Manager of the property. She goes out of her way to make sure every tenant is happy. This past Valentine’s Day, she even put little candy bags together and hung them on the door of each apartment in the entire complex with ribbon.
Her whole heart is put into ensuring the happiness of everyone that lives here. For free pizza night (which we get once a month), she will even stay a little later at night so I can pick up my pizza after getting off work, or she will deliver it to my apartment personally if I ask.
She has also been working on improving the apartments themselves. Construction will be finishing up soon from adding insulation to the roof tops by this summer so it stays cooler indoors when it gets so hot outside. Plus, she was able to have every window of the complex upgraded and installed with fabulous new windows that are quiet, lock automatically, and also provide better insulation. I have never met someone who cares so much about making others happy.
She makes living here truly a joy and pleasure. She even knows my dogs name and makes sure to say hi whenever she sees her. If you are thinking about moving in, just stop by and ask her anything. She is so helpful and will make sure you are accommodated in the very best way possible.
The location is great, too. I work in Mission Valley and the 8 is less than a 5 minute drive from here. Plus its close to the 94 and 805 too! They allow pets as well, which is a requirement for me and my husband with our only child that is a little long-​haired chihuahua. Rent is very affordable and theres no place else you will receive this level of customer service. If you’re interested, make sure to stop by!

I can’t wait until our lease is up at the end of March. My husband has lived here for 2 years and the staff when he first got here he told me was great. Since then there has been 2 other managers and neither woman is that great. The first one let people party at all hours of the night including with the staff. By staff I mean the security guard who walks around, oh wait he doesn’t walk around he sits by the pool on nice nights visiting with the college kids who are partying. On the cooler nights I have no idea where he is. The maintenance staff lives here and you would think that is a good thing. Wrong. They have people coming and going from their apartment and parking where ever they want them to in the assigned parking lot. Assigned parking is a joke. There are about 80 apartments here and it seems like there are only 8 washers and dryers.
Don’t even think about doing your laundry on a Sunday because the maintenance staff uses up all 4 in our part of the buildings and they use them all day. I mean ALL DAY.
Free Wi-​Fi hotspot. NOPE! That hasn’t worked for about 2 months now.
They drainage system is so bad that when it rains you are walking through puddles to get in and out of the complex.
The apartments are small, 500 square feet and the walls are paper thin.
It’s a great location and that is all that it has going for it.
Come on March.

I have been meaning to write this review for a long time. My boyfriend and I lived there for just over 7 months when we first moved to Cali. The location is REALLY great, with everything so close. Not too far from the 8, and I loved being able to walk over to Ralph’s for a quick grocery stop. The best pizza we have had in Cali is right next door, and the Vietnamese place next door is good too. (I digress).
The best thing about the place is the STAFF. Garrett, and Alejandro and his wife stay on top of things. We never had to wait very long at ALL for a maintenance issue to be resolved, and the grounds were kept beautifully. Garrett is the BEST property manager I have ever worked with, bar none, from start to finish. He really cares about the property and its residents, and tries to make it a community. Busy as he was, he always had time to listen to concerns. He even remained helpful after we moved out and were tying up loose ends. Did I mention Garrett was awesome?
The apartments are small, which is perfect for college students and single people. We had too much stuff to fit, so we had to get a storage unit off-​site. (Due in part to me having moved from a house, and the bf being a drummer!) The parking situation is pretty bad (duh near a college!), but there was a waiting list to get an extra spot (for $ 30.00/mo), and Ralph’s doesn’t complain if you leave a car overnight in their lot. The lack of central air was a bummer, but at least they upgraded the wall units in the living rooms! No dishwasher either :(All in all a great start-​up or simple living apartment!

For the location, price and features this is a nice apartment complex. Its not too noisy, neighbors are cordial and keep to themselves. The mngmt does their best to keep the place/​grounds very clean and well kept. Has wifi! The 1br is small but great for one or two people, we love the walkin closet. It is gated which is great for single women or college students. We love the fact that it is sooo close to everything you need. You can walk pretty much to everything you need. The library and Ralphs are right across the street, and I can also walk to Starbucks which is fantastic! lol. Wish we could have more than one parking spot lol but hey at least we have one right?! The property manager is great as well, very pleasant and helpful… which is hard to come by ;)

Aztec Pacific Apartments is a great place for SDSU students to live. It is close enough to campus that you can either walk or ride a bike. Aztec Pacific has a pool, putting green, and two laundry facilities. There is also free wifi at the pool. The grounds are always clean and the maintenance man is great. The only issue that I have run into is parking. There is not enough parking spots for everyone living here. There is free parking across the street. Ralphs is also located right across the street. The complex is really quiet and there is a security guard that walks around at night.
