Apricot Pit Apartments

Homely and friendly apartments! Prompt services and very good behavior from Senada and Amanda and also from the people who come to help fix the odd jobs.

I continue to be impressed. We really like living here!

I have been living at Apricot Pit for over 3 years. I love the management here! They are kind and efficient (with maintenance issues). The only con for this place would be the rowdy kids running around constantly (which the management tries to control by sending reminders regarding the issue every few months or so). I am a little sad that I am leaving. I will give an updated review if there are problems with my deposit.
I also wanted to add one more thing. I was living at Apricot Pit Apt during the termite fumigation and the management sent multiple notices regarding the times of the fumigation as well as find accommodations (finding and paying for hotels. So, I disagree with the review below.

The community is great! Nice location, amenities with an affordable price.
One thing I am completely unsatisfied with is the Apartment Management! It has been my worst experience in the Bay Area! They never ever and I mean everrr pick up their phones.
Just after few days of moving into this apartment we had a maintenance emergency and there was absolutely no one we could contact! We had to wait for 4 days to fix the sewage problem after calling them a zillion times.
Few days back all the tenants got a notice that the apartments are infected with Termites and that we need to vacate for 2 – 3 days for the treatment which is fine. But, they do not even bother to tell us when is it going to happen or ehat exact arrangements they have done. The notice just said they will reimburse the 2 – 3 day’s rent. How are we supposed to make our arrangements if we do no know when we need to vacate? And BTW if you call them to ask they will never pick up! None of the complaints are ever looked upon. We just get glaring notices stuck to our doors which say:
1. you need to vacate apartment — you can take reimbursement or live in a hotel of «Our» choice. No other information provided!
2. Leasing office will be closed! etc.
If you complain about something they look at you like you are an idiot. And yes they will definitely ignore your request!
And did I tell you they don’t work on weekends neither do they have any emergency contact that works.
Extremely rude management!

I stayed here for about 6 months, nice community with all features.
good pool and weekend activities. nice location. close to all stores.
but only bad thing is they dont have any 2 bed they have only studios and 1bed.
property manager (senada) is the best i had ever met. i would recommend any one to stay this place.

I know what you’re thinking. How can a place with «pit» in its name be a desirable place to live? Well, don’t let the name fool you — I was a loyal tenant of the Apricot Pit from May 2005 to July 2008, and the only reason I moved out was because my fiancé and I were moving in together. If you’re looking for a quiet, safe community at a reasonable price in Sunnyvale (a.k.a. the Vale), this is your spot.
The «Pit,» as I called it, was a great community to be a part of — the grounds were always impeccably maintained, and included a clubhouse with some basic fitness equipment, a sauna, ping pong and a pool table. There’s also a pool and a hot tub. Parking was plentiful: tenants were each assigned a spot, and visitors had a number of different spots to choose from.
I also found the management incredibly pleasant to deal with. Whenever I had a maintenance request (which was pretty rare), they took care of it immediately and were even apologetic when something was broken. In addition, they were incredibly helpful during the moveout process and conducted not one, but two, walkthroughs with me so that I knew what needed to be fixed to ensure I got most of the security deposit back. (In fact, I got all of it back.)
As passionate as I am about the Pit, why 4 stars and not 5, you ask? Well, the buildings are a bit stuck in the 70s, complete with the roller rink-​style carpet in the hallways and brown laminate cabinet doors in the units. The overall look and feel of the buildings could use a bit of an update, so if you’re in to the very modern style, this probably isn’t for you. But, as a total fashionista, I very much appreciated having the HUGE walk-​in closet.
