Alameda Garden Apartments

Cockroaches everywhere since day 1. The management tries to say we brought them in, which was nonsense. It took weeks to get anything fixed. We moved in and there was no heat, then they left it up to us to call PG&E. They were told to fix the hazard, they ‘fixed’ it incorrectly, (which was potentially dangerous for me and my family), and whatever they fixed caused a gas leak. We went for 5 days over Thanksgiving weekend without electricity because they have no emergency maintenance or back-​up system in place. Our closet door cracked due to the track being crooked, which wasn’t taken out until it pretty much shattered; property management ask me to take it out if I could, since the maintenance man was sick. They do not care about safety and are full of excuses. DO NOT live here. On top of all that, the apartment gets extremely hot in the summer.

Never live here!
When I moved in, within 1 week my room was infested with bed bugs! The management was very defensive when I told her, and the whole process was a nightmare. There were cockroaches living inside the complex. There was a sprinkler that was leaking by my bedroom wall and soaked the OLD foundation, and the inside of my walls were moist which caused me to have mildew around ALL the corners of my walls/​floors. When I moved out, we cleaned the place top to bottom. There was no damage to anything except maybe the garbage disposal, and my roommate and I only received $ 175 back on our deposit when we paid $ 1,650 in the beginning! When I asked her about the charges, which were VERY unclear. She said that the apartment was already fixed and she could no longer show me herself. LIES! Lost a lot of money for nothing, and my whole experience with the disgusting apartment with an even more disgusting manager was definitely NOT WORTH IT. DO NOT LIVE HERE! Horrible Horrible management. I cannot stress that enough.

Every thing every one else said is dead on. Lived there for two years. Place sucks, Damien is horrible.

Rude management. Took my money for the app and didn’t even have the decency to call me back. A week later, I called and we didn’t get approved. Manager was short with me on the phone and hung up. Before cosigners were allowed, but after our denial, my cosigner was no longer welcome. They also only accept people with 700+ credit score and 3.5 times the rent.

Beware roaches everywhere. Management does nothing about it. Management is worthless. If you are the owner of this property and are reading this change the manager and the handy guy. They are running this place to the ground. Again roaches a lot every day every night.

This place was horrible to rent! There is lots of crime everywhere and management does nothing to curb it. I got robbed three times! There are tons of crackheads and transients around. People sleep in their cars (and rob other cars) on this block. Yet, the police and Alameda Gardens do nothing about it. They also have draconian rules about noise and smoking. The handy man is a joke. He only breaks things worse when he tries to fix them. We had no hot water for about 3 weeks. On top of it all, they stole half of our security deposit when we moved out.
