Playa Blanca Apartment Homes

Great Location! I have been living here for almost a year now and I haven’t had any issues. The property manager Marline is very helpful with anything you need! Overall a great place to live!

Playa Blanca was a decent place to live. I would have given it 4 stars but the surrounding area is very bad. The complex itself is very quiet, well kept, and peaceful and the landlord is very friendly. And the maintainance man is prompt and nice. I am somewhat happy living here, but there are downfalls: there are several homeless people who make it thru the gate to rummage thru our dumpsters on a daily and nightly basis. Not only are some aggressive, but some have dogs that accompany them without a leash. There is no security patrol and sometimes there are people loitering in the parking lot at night. Also, the parking is very limited, so only one of our two cars has assigned parking. And the only additional parking is outside the gate where a homeless community lives. And our car was recently vandalized right outside the gate. The price is very high but the cost of living is also very high here in SD. So it’s reasonable given the fact that you will pay just as much anywhere else but for the size and lack of amentities, it is not worth it. We are military so our housing is covered by BAH, but I would not live here if i had to pay out of my own pocket.

Moved into these apartments early 2015 and love it here. The parking is tight but you can park your car right outside the gate on the street if you really had a problem. The units are very nice with washer/​dryer on your patio. The property manager Marline is awesome! She is very understanding and goes above and beyond to help you. There is also a maintenance guy that is awesome about fixing or replacing things fast.

I am a pretty easy laid back person that can put up with a lot of shit. I moved into these apartments November of 2012 and new nothing about the San Diego, but got stationed here and this is the only place i looked at … shame on me. At first the only thing i hated was how much rent was for a small two bedroom apartment, but it had air so dismissed this and moved on. I live on the top floor fortunately, but from what i have heard living on the bottom deck sucks due to being able to hear every little detail from the upstairs neighbors. The rental manager is a very nice lady and i have a hard time being hard on here because she just had a baby but damn i asked like three weeks ago for a new card because i can’t get into my own freakin apartment complex. She said she would get them the following Monday, well that day never came, so now i have to fight with everybody else that is locked out of their own homes for a parking spot because of a stupid freakin gate. Rent has gone up for the third time now, i can’t park in my own spot (which is a pain in the dick anyway because the spots are so small you are practically tire to tire with the car next to you), i have a shit head downstairs neighbor that doesn’t give two shits about his down and is shitting and pissing and sleeping in it outside all day (i feel so bad for that dog). Basically i fricken hate living here and i turn everybody away that is even thinking about living here.

Hello again. I am here to update all of you on another horrifying incident that happened at «Playa Blanca Apartment Homes».
I am in the military and my ship is preparing to go on deployment. For those of you reading this that do not know what that entails, allow me to clarify. This time period is filled with LONG days at work and WEEKS away from home. All leading up to the time that the ship and all the sailors actually deploy.
So I was «underway» over the first of the month and got back to land a bout a week and a half ago. I paid my rent IN FULL PLUS «ADDITIONAL FEES» as soon as I returned because I knew that my rent was already two weeks late. I receive a text message two days ago saying «I cannot accept check at this point unless you pay further attorney fees of $ 635.»
Again I say WTF?
California rental law says eviction can not be filed until 30 days AFTER the written notice is issued. In my case that day was March 21,2014!
My command was notified and now I am suing for the payment of factitious fees!
KARMA!

I am new in the community and do love my apartment although there are a few issues but are beeing taken care of (thank god) I can strongly agree about the parking not being ideal why not give decals so we know who’s a resident or not… and the spots can be in a rotation. my brand new vehicle was towed and you can say I’m not a happy camper, my «assigned spot» has been taken since I moved in its referred as the community spot, so I get towed wtf where’s the association covering my back, they clearly cover the home owners. Tenants not being allowed to volunteer for the community board but home owners are allowed «we have a voice too» when do they hear our concerns? There response «write and we’ll address it» yea right. This move here may have been a huge mistake. The association is clearly unprofessional and in over there heads, but worst of all they are one sided!
