Park Villas North Condominium Association

Nice complex with two pools and courtyard areas. Neighbors all seem friendly and it’s pretty quiet (except for car noise from Friars Road if you are on the northern side of the complex.

55+ without kids, grandkids, dogs, cats, animals of any kind. Have no life but to pester and meddle in other persons business. YOU WILL FIT RIGHT IN! If you have a moving company with ten movers that can haul all of your belongings from the street within 2 hours, YOU WILL FIT IN! If you are in with the HOA people and love to complain about everyone else. YOU WILL BE PERFECT!
Harassment is their main objective. If you like being harassed, even off property, YOU WILL FIT IN!
never invite family or friends over. Do not have nice cars, bikes, or motorcycles. People love to scratch your vehicles and steal items.
And for the people who like to peek into other people’s windows off property I know who you are. I noticed it when you walked by.

Let’s just start with the grounds of the property. They are some what maintained but there is a HUGE problem with cockroaches and fleas. Which means that the laundry rooms, mail room and your home get infested. HOA says that they spray twice a month but I have NEVER saw a pest control company out at the property I have lived there for 10 months. I end up spending about $ 40 per month to take care of pest control in my unit and around the windows/​doors.
Second thing is that the walls are SUPER, SUPER thin. Not just apartment thin but thin as in no insulation. I had water damage around a window recently and when the contractor opened up the wall to replace dry wall, there was no insulation in the wall! Clearly the units have not been updated with insulation since they were built in the 70’s. I hear my neighbors talking in their units and it sounds like they are in my living room.
Last but not least, the HOA is HORRIBLE! I’ve never experienced a more unprofessional organization. A few of the board members live on the property so when they are walking around, if they find something that they don’t like, they have the property management company send you a violation notice. Once a board member doesn’t like you, they will pick on you. Especially if you are a renter and not a owner.
I have lived here for 10 months and never had a single complaint about my dog barking until a month ago. I got a notice in Aug & again in Sept saying that my dog barks excessively & continuously through the day. When I call the property management company that sent it, they cant tell me dates and times that the complaints were made. I work from home 50% of the time & I have a nanny cam and my dog barks when someone comes to the door or walks by sometimes but she doesnt bark all day long. The HOA wants to fine me money for this.
They cant give me exact dates and times of complaints which is just ridiculous!
DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!

Ok yes… parking is AWFUL. However, I can walk my dog at 330 am and feel totally safe. Everyone is very friendly and courteous. I personally have great neighbors who keep to themselves and are quiet. The grounds are park like and this year both pools are heated year round. HOA is very pricey and they recently got rid of many movie channels. Other than that I like that PVN is pet friendly and has doggy bags for you to use to keep things tidy. The grounds are well kept. Its also very safe. I haven’t had even one tiny issue here. The laundry is pretty nice as well.

I feel like I live in Heaven on Earth…
The landscape is amazing, the neighbors are wonderful, the amenities are maintained and beautiful… best place for this girl to live in San Diego… and… Trader Joe’s just opened up a block away about 6 months ago and a beautiful new development is underway across Friars Road that will have a lake, walking trail, park, and all sorts of new stuff! I’m excited and happy!!!

My daughter rents a unit in this complex. Was worried at first because she is a north county girl, and this is like the Big City to me!
Am worried not longer! Her neighbors are friendly, and look out for one another. Common areas are well lit, and nicely maintained.
Am happy my baby found a safe, centrally located place to call home!

Best place to live in Mission Valley period. The complex is centrally located and quiet unlike several nearby newer buildings. Parking is tough as it is everywhere in Mission Valley. My neighbors are super friendly which is nice to know who lives nearby. Have lived in other complexes but interior entry is hotel like and three story buildings are way to noisy. Best place around until I can afford a house on the water!

I don’t quite know where to start. Let’s go with the obvious parking problems! Even though there is street parking, it is always taken. Most people, will block their spot with another vehicle and you will find the same vehicle parked in the same place all the time. Do not think of Del Taco as a safe parking spot. They will give you a notice and you will get towed if you do not abide! If you do find street parking, be ready to be stuck. Some of the cars will park inches away from your bumper preventing you from leaving. There is no access for guests inside the complex. You’re stuck with having to find parking outside, and take a long walk. No convenience whatsoever.
This doesn’t quite feel like a safe neighborhood. I’ve had the unpleasant surprise of having to deal with a wanna-​be tough guy who walked up to my car while I was trying to leave and told me not to get out of my spot until he was done leaving. Most cars parked on street have been dinged or dented.
Inside, I have had the bad luck of losing my Nike shoes that I left outside by the door. I went in, came out within an hour and my shoes were gone. I’ve heard of packages being stolen as well. There is no such thing as safety.
The HOA has recently started blocking parking spaces of empty units in an attempt to not have non-​owners/​renters park inside.
As far as the units themselves, they are ok, but thin walls, poor maintenance, lack of parking, unsafe neighborhood by obvious theft, and poor landscaping, should be enough to drive people away from this place.
At the end of the day, you get what you pay for.

These are nice units, with beautiful, well maintained landscaping. I like that there are 2 pools and jacuzzis to choose from if for any reason one doesn’t suit you. Parking is good if only one person is living in your unit. It is a bit more difficult if you need to find parking.

Unsafe, overpriced and just… dont live here! Cars are robbed all the time in the «gated» community and my bike locks were cut locks and my bikes were stolen from my front patio! Some neighborhood watch, eh? Oh and the HOA are psychos. Good luck if you dont own. Parking = worse then the beach, some dude puts shampoo in the hot tub, and people leave their unattended kids at the poo. Cats roam around the complex, and when i say cats. i mean. 30, 40. sick! do not live here, breaking my lease early to get outttl…

What do current homeowners have to say about the residency restrictions and parking regulations in this unit? Does the HOA enforce parking.

It looks like the Asian restaurants neglected to check out this place for sources of protein. Neighbors’ cats wander freely throughout this complex. Occassionally I would pick one up for a snack or something. They have grills that are conveniently located.
This complex has a few pools, some larger than others. Their laundry facility isn’t as good as a laundromat. Clothes don’t dry properly. One of their washing machines would stop randomly too. Parking sucks. Sometimes I would have to park by Del Taco and walk over. What a long walk that is. Would you want to live here?
