Avalon Walnut Ridge

My spouse and I have lived here for 13 years and we very satisfied and happy with our maintenance guy Tony Garcia he’s always been very pleasant to work with and he always gets the job done in a timely manner he is a tremendous asset to Avalon Walnut Ridge, Also Tamar and Lisa in the leasing department their customer service skills are wonderful and they care about their tenant they always greet you with a warm smile and whenever you call with any type of issues they both get the job done and they follow through, they are also a Hugh part of Avalon Walnut Ridge.

This review is for the former Archstone Walnut Ridge, the newest of the 3 communities. Avalon seems to call the former Archstone Walnut Creek Station, Walnut Ridge as well.
These apartments are smaller when compared to those in the other 2 communities. The largest 1 bedroom is probably about 717 Sq. ft or so, and so it always stumped me as to how ‘families’ could live comfortably in such tiny square footage, with literally no extra storage.
For a working professional (with occasional out of town guests), I could not even figure out the best way to set up a home-​office. The place was that small. I kind of felt bad for people who seemed to use their patios for storage (some were really over-​flowing). And yet, people seemed to rush to live in this community?
The 2 main selling points for me were the large kitchen and large bathroom that I really wanted. But that got compensated for the no extra storage, and tiny, tiny closet space.
The Archstone management (best of the bad lot) was perhaps a bit more sensible than the current Avalon management. I thought Archstone was being outrageous when they increased the rents by $ 250/​month to make you vacate. Avalon tops them all. My rent was raised by $ 550 ($ 2450 for a 700 sq. ft apt. with no upgrades or anything). Go figure.
Sure, the rental market in the Bay Area is over-​hyped right now, but I find it amusing that in-​spite of their low occupancy in their recent constructions (just by the PleasantHill BART station), they seem to be forcing their current tenants out (by way of such obnoxious rental rate increases). What kind of marketing strategy is that? Shouldn’t you be worrying about getting maximum occupancy in any of your recent and/​or acquired constructions first?
Also, when I lived there it was obvious that the exterior was pretty well-​kept but they used 3^rd rate appliances and construction material on the inside — probably a typical rental apartment scenario. At some point, since Avalon took over, they even stopped regular trash pick-​up. Too many times the trash bins were over-​flowing, and reeked up the entire place. Not to mention the annoying construction and construction workers that were all over the place (for years) peeking into your apartments at every chance they got.
I would recommend this place for working professionals mainly for the convenience. However, I just cannot understand how these tiny apartments work for families (for a comfortable living experience).

My review & tips are based on my stay in the year of 2015…
It was time for us to move from Houston to Bay Area and once again the hunt for apartments is on. We have pretty strict requirement when it comes to finding a place that takes our XL furry friend. Our choices are pretty narrow the moment you start filtering based on complex that accepts pets heavier than 50lb.
We knew that we were moving here when all of the rents/​home prices and general cost of living skyrocketed very recently so it was not a surprise looking at rental rates for a teeny tiny apartment (especially compared to Houston a cheaper option with a bigger sqft).
We found Avalon Walnut Ridge community that is large pet friendly, Safe (very little crime compared to Houston where there’s a break-​in every month), affordable (relatively). This complex is so close (5min walk) to the BART, is near a major highway (I-​680) and close enough to so many facilities (Sprouts, Trader Joes, Walgreens, Target, Safeway, 2 nearby public libraries, parks…).
I know what we were getting in to an old community means not so great construction, older communities have many maintenance issues but they give you a mature neighborhood. We were not in one of the BART facing units (I can imagine that would be hell every time a train would go by, it is very loud).
What I like about this complex is that what they lack in quality construction of the complex is a very helpful maintenance staff and front office. They do try to keep the community clean but are not spotless most of the time.
I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a family & large dog friendly, convenient place for a short stay. This complex will not sweep you off your feet but meets most of your needs as long as you remember that it is an old complex…
If I could I would Give them 3.5 STARS…
Update Feb 2016: I almost forgot to mention that they do have an option to have the management clean the apartment for $ 120 + $ 60 (Carpet Cleaning if any, my unit did not). After moving from city to city & changing apartment I can’t tell you how much money is lost for things not being cleaned and you go through the agony of looking at the deposit being eaten up… I was delighted to see that these guys have an option to have it taken care of by the front office. On the day of pre-​inspection (part of move out process we never ever miss that) I was given an estimate and they really honored that estimate + made some concessions as well.
I held off this part intentionally as I was waiting to see how much I’ll get from my initial rental deposit… I can’t tell you how important it is to have an option and see it being honored afterwards…
Now I would be happy to give them 4 Stars… despite all that I have commented about the building’s age & associated issues you will face…
I would recommend this complex to anyone…

I lived here for 4+ years. This was a great place to live when Archstone owned it. Rent renewal was negotiable. The complex was kept clean and parking was by permit. Maintenance was on issues immediately and broken items were actually repaired the first time. The staff knew your name and your apartment number without asking you. Things have steadily declined since Avalon took over.
The location is one of only two things going for this place. There’s a grocery store and two gyms in close walking distance and two Starbucks and a handful of restaurants. Downtown is just far enough away to not deal with its associated traffic but you can be there in 10 minutes on a bike.
The on-​site gym is decent. It’s small but has enough equipment that you could do without a gym membership if you’re creative. It’s not used often so it’s all yours. But rather than just set the thermostat at a decent cool temperature, they leave it too high and then run a dehumidifier. It’s a duct tape fix… but that’s Avalon.
The proximity to the Iron Horse and Bart is a double-​edged sword. The trail is nice for a bike ride or walk/​run to downtown WC or to Concord. If you commute by Bart, you can walk to the station in less than 5 minutes. Also with the Iron Horse and Bart… multiple car break-​ins (in the under-​building garage) and transients aplenty. They love to leave their «treasures» around for storage.
On your tour, they’ll tell you that the pool is «heated». Heated by the sun does not count as «heated». The pool is ICE COLD year round. On 100 degree days, you will not find anyone actually in the pool (except for kids, who never seem to have issues with extreme temperatures). No rent-​paying adult gets in the pool for longer than two minutes. It is really that cold. How do they get this pool to stay so freezing cold, even when it’s 100 degrees out? It’s unfair that paying residents can’t even enjoy the pool because management is too cheap to run the pool heater for a few months in the summer. The freezing water isn’t refreshing or enjoyable even on hot days.
The garbage areas are disgusting. The residents are pigs.
Although the maintenance guys are very nice we learned to tell them after the third «repair» on the same issue, that they need to just replace the item and we don’t want them attempting to «fix» it again.
If you’re a weed or cigarette smoker this is the place for you. Even if your neighbors complain repeatedly, nothing will ever happen to you. Nothing. Ever. It seems that lease you signed that said smoking is not allowed on the property is just to meet county requirements. You can fill the apartment above you with the stench of weed ²⁴⁄₇ and… nothing. Ever. They can complain all they want. Absolutely nothing will be done to evict you. You might get some silly letter telling you not to smoke on the property but that’s the extent of it. Your neighbor can pay thousands to break their lease to get away from you. That’s pretty much the only remedy to this situation. The one abiding by the rules gets the punishment.
You only get one parking space so if you have two cars, good luck. The non-​resident Bart commuters use this lot as free parking during the week and nobody bothers to do anything about it. We used to have parking permits but that would require a few extra dollars from Avalon, so, nevermind. And don’t get home after the little window when the Bart commuters go home, because there is no parking after about 6pm.
The walls/​ceilings are pretty thin. I could hear EVERYTHING above me. I’ve lived on the second and third floors here. Take a third floor apartment!!!
ALL of the interior shots of the apartments on the Avalon site are from the smaller yet even more expensive condo-​like portion of the complex. The majority of the complex is the older apartment-​style units, complete with granite looking laminate counters and vinyl flooring and old carpet. There was actually a 5“x5″ square of carpet in my living room that they just chopped out and replaced with a new square of close, but not matching, carpet rather than actually replace the carpet. Ghetto. Don’t be deceived by the website.
DO NOT GET A UNIT THAT IS NEAR THE BART TRACKS. I was in a quieter interior unit and then moved to a unit facing Bart. It’s so loud that we had to pause the TV each time a train passed. The windows are double-​paned so there’s not much that can be done about the noise. Pay the extra to live inside the complex rather than be in direct earshot of Bart. It’s worth the extra money.
If you choose to rent here, just look at it as a temporary situation and be ready to move in one year because they’re going to raise the rent 20% on you in a year. We were planning on moving anyway, but then we got our rent renewal notice. They were asking for $ 500 more per month!!! That’s 20%!!! This complex is not worth the $ 2800 they’re asking. It’s old and run down and they do nothing but apply Band Aids to make it look better. Keep looking.

I’ve lived in this «community» for 7 months now and the first 5 months were fine. When I say fine it does not mean perfect but what place is. My main issues was with the trash areas. After 2 days the trash areas would be overflowing and residents would literally start dumping garbage on the ground inside the trash area. That is not my style so I would walk across the property to find a trash area that was not yet full.
Now is where we get real… When I first moved in I developed a friendship with my upstairs neighbor… yes my mistake! At first this was good and a blessing but in the past month that friendship ended. Now I am being harassed by the leasing office because in retaliation to our ended friendship she has begun calling the leasing office any time I have my TV or radio on.
Now let’s be clear… Avalon is a large complex with a lot of people in close quarters. With that said, it is impossible to not hear the people that live around you. I hear washing machines, TV’s, radios, and everything else. I am a reasonable person so this does not bother me as it is part of apartment living. Truthfully if you watch TV, listen to the radio or just live your life, you won’t hear too much because you are living. My neighbor likes complete silence which is not reasonable when living in an apartment community.
Here is where the community falls short. This is clearly a personal issue and despite havig members of the leasing office and the police arrive at my door and state that the music isn’t too loud, it is clear that no one is acting as an advocate for me. I am being expected to live in complete silence which is unreasonable. This community is large and everyone is «close» to one another. The leasing team seems afraid to push back and ask my neighbor to have «reasonable» expectations of apartment living.
I recently ran into Joe (the manager at the time) and told him that she was unreasonable and calling the police on me at 5:30pm about my music. Let me be clear that I only have a sound bar so it can’t possible be that loud. You can faintly hear it if you are standing right at my door but that is reasonable. I told Joe that as an African American woman I am now very uncomfortable living in the community because of the police showing up at my door. In 2015 it has been clear that police will not hesitate to shoot unarmed African American (men AND women) and no one will hold them accountable. I made this clear to Joe and he stated that he did not want me to feel that way and he would work something out where I could end my lease with a 30 day notice. I went on to tell him that I would be packing a few bags and going to live somewhere else for a month or so because I was uncomfortable. I asked that he contact me later that day so we could discuss ending the lease. NO CALL FROM JOE… because African American have no advocate in this community. White privilege will always trump rational expectations with these people.
I’ve been living off site at another residence because I do not feel safe and I feel like I have no advocate in this situation. This is really frustrating because my rent is actually higher than my neighbor who is causing all of the issues over a personal conflict. I would think that the leasing office would honor what was said to me by their former manager but instead they are calling me a liar and saying that Joe never said that.
I would suggest that you also read the review posted by Jay C. on Unilocal because this is the reality of living in properties that bear the Avalon name. It is fine if you don’t need customer service from your leasing office. When you do… you should be nervous, especially if you aren’t the right color.

I lived at Avalon Walnut Ridge for one year and, when it came time to renew my lease, they increased my rent 28%! When I went to negotiate, the woman in the office was less than friendly, told me she’d follow up with me, then didn’t. I basically had to chase her down and when I did she told me they weren’t willing to go below a 20% increase, which is absolutely outrageous! And I should mention this was for a studio apartment and would result in an additional $ 300−460/month.
They gave me the run around that I was paying below market value for my unit but I went to the Park Regency apartments across the street they had 1 bedrooms, with significantly more sq footage and the same amenities, renting for less than what Avalon was trying to raise my rent to. My unit (though they claim was «renovated») looks nothing like the pics in this listing, so be aware of that, too.
At the end of it all, my take away is that Avalon does not value their tenants or see them as people. They are looking to get as much money as they possibly can at they expense of uprooting anyone they have to. So, if you’re looking for a true place to call home, this likely isn’t it.

My husband and I have lived here for more than 7 years, The rent started around $ 1400 under Archstone for one bedroom apt including heated pool, hot tub and sauna. About two or three years ago, the building was bought by Avalon. Now we are paying around $ 1900 for the same apt. It is supposed to have heated pool but the pool is always cold. There used to be a sauna, but has been removed. The rent goes up every year, but quality goes down. Trash is not managed well, dumpsters are mostly full and the area around some of the apt complex are not well-​kept. Leaf blower guy blows all the dust from lobby inside the apt or on top of the clean cars. My car got stolen once and broken into twice here. Finding a space for your second car is very difficult here. On a positive note, I like the service we get: anytime something breaks, they quickly fix it. I like the landscape and water fountains running around the complex; they reduce the noise from highway and Bart running (walking distance from the Bart). Overall, I am disappointed because of the trash, maintenance, parking, security, cold pool and filthy hallways. I believe it is overpriced for what they offer and am considering moving even though I don’t want to move.

I lived here for 4 years with my husband. I loved living in walnut creek, walking distance to bart, and in a relatively safe neighborhood.
I didn’t care for my neighbors, as an anonymous neighbor left a rude and passive agressive note about my dog barking and how I need to make her stop. Go F***yourself, you live in a dog friendly neighborhood. Anyway…
Most of the workers were nice and if you needed work done they were always there. The people at the office are another story. The woman who runs the office isn’t the friendliest and when I complained about something they didn’t seem to care/didn’t do anything about it. One lady that worked at the office was really nice, but most of them sucked.
Parking is annoying as bart riders park there and nothing is really done about that. If you have a second car good luck.
I get this is a great location and it’s walnut creek so rent will be expensive. But it’s still way overpriced for the size of our unit. We now live out of the area in a nicer, bigger home (condo) for hundreds of dollars less rent.

Eeverything I am writing is based on living in this complex from 2011 – 2014, and now recently being back again after a return from living in Germany for work, now being here a good 6 months.
First I read all of the negative reviews. The consistent theme is complaining about the trash, noise, and the apartments not being «luxury». Someone even posted photos of trash they saw. Here’s a thought… we as residents are the ones making the mess, so maybe instead of taking a photo of it you could encourage someone you see at the dumpster to put their trash in the dumpster and not outside, or you could pick up the trash and not photograph it. When did management become maids? The laziness comes from residents, take some accountability.
My experience has been positive always. The staff are friendly, responsive, honest, and realistic. The patience and positivity they consistently maintain is pretty astonishing considering the non-​stop issues they have to deal with, most of which are not within their control.
I would say the negative reviews on this page represent our state of society more than they do a fair review of the complex and people who manage it. People love to complain and find one source of blame for the myriad of reasons they are not happy with the choice they made in where to live. So, if you are realistic and understand that rent is very high anywhere in WC right now, crime is not controlled by the complex or its managers, and there actually are positives, believe it or not, but you do live in an apartment not a house, and there are differences that come with that. Perhaps living abroad in different countries has helped me to appreciate the abundance and luxury we truly live in here, I wish half of the people I met along my journey had ¹⁄₁₀ of what we so casually complain about.
My experience right now has been pretty awesome. Christy and Taemon, have been consistent in everything they have told me from day one. Every service request I have is taken care of that day and with thoughtful and considerate help. Nothing about my apartment was oversold, and the grounds are beautiful. I accept the fact that I live in an apt complex, that means you will hear your neighbors, you will encounter appliances that may not be as expensive as ones you would buy on your own, yes the walls are thin people, you hear noise, its an apartment not a house? Its astonishing what people complain about given the luxury we live in compared to the rest of the world.
In the many years here I have heard gunshots, I have experienced the dumpsters that people destroy into a disgusting mess, I have also had the smokers who smoke even when they shouldn’t and ruin your evening on the balcony, and I have had the experience where the carpet has a few more stains. Perhaps if we focused more on setting the example ourselves and being positive in our approach to life we could help management in keeping things neat and clean, taking care of issues, etc. The messes and noise and crime are the residents, so take it up with them and pick up after yourself, you might notice a difference or set an example.
Today I had a service request someone stayed way past work hours to come fix for me when he had a family to go home to. Most people would probably complain they had to wait all day long to do the luxury of laundry, but I am so appreciative that he went out of his way to come when he could have waited a day, and he took care of it instantly. It’s nice to know that my packages are taken care of for me, so I dont have to worry about being home, its nice to know I have a washer and dryer, a parking spot, a pretty big apartment compared to most of the world and other complex units around here, and I live in walking distance of emerging restaurants, Bart, the sports club, and iron horse trail. All of those things typically would drive rent up much higher but they still keep it at market rate or below if you look at the other units. One year there were six rapes that occurred in this area in another complex near 7 – 11. The police caught him, a man coming in on Bart from Richmond. So, is this the apartments fault? Common sense would say if you are choosing to live next to Bart you may have to consider this kind of stuff and keep your eyes out, be extra aware, and you’re fine.
I have had nothing but positive experiences with the apartment and the management from 2011 until now, and that’s why I chose this place when I came back from Germany. I guess there is some truth to idea that we manifest our own realities… if you approach things with a negative perspective the outcome will be negative no matter what. I am nice and helpful with the staff and I have loved living here.

We have been tenants for several months now and really enjoy living at Avalon Walnut Ridge. We have found the staff (especially Joe, the manager and Taemon) to be extremely professional, courteous and attentive to anything we brought up. We had a couple of small issues that were addressed very professionally. They send you email to note that they are tracking the problem and then close it out when completed. Also, we find the maintenance personnel some the most courteous we have ever encountered. The remainder of the office staff have always been very professional with us.
Avalon Walnut Ridge is located within only 5 minutes of BART which is easy walking distance. So, you can get to San Francisco very quickly without having to drive. Also, located a very short distance to the 680 freeway that gets you places very quickly both east and west. Nice benefit of living at Avalon. The complex has two pools, an exercise room, and a private study available for residents. We have used them all and they are always clean and well maintained.
Concerning the negative reviews below, most are from Unilocal reviewers that only have very few reviews. I have over 800 reviews and always rate places as I see them and give them the ratings they deserve. It is very hard pleasing all people all the time, but the management at Walnut Ridge goes out of their way to insure living here is a positive experience. It has been for us, and we highly recommend you checking out Avalon Ridge if you are looking for quality place to rent in Walnut Creek.

BEWARE!
YOU WILL BE SOLD, THEN RIPPED OFF!
Management will ONLY talk to you when it comes to signing a new lease. Rents upped by about 400 dollars for every tenant I know, manager rents out apartments as luxury apartments however I’ve had a female accidentally bust my door down trying to unlock the door. Lock still wasn’t replaced, they puttied the frame and cut me a different key and said it is safe:/ hot tub was a swamp by end of last summer. Don’t count on grilling as he is too cheap to leave propane. List goes on. Anyhow I miss the old management team, they made it feel like home:(anyone posting positive reviews for Joe or this property is a LIAR. I hear people are moving to the new properties in area and are much happier, its a convenient location but you will be treated poorly and NOT get your money’s worth:(

Where to begin …
All of the negative reviews are spot on.
While the leasing office may say they want to keep you happy in their community, actions speak louder than words. Management was aware of all of my neighbor and community issues and just simply patted me on the head with each email I sent. If I didn’t follow up on a regular basis, my emails got ignored. I asked to negotiate breaking my lease because I was so unhappy with the community. They told me I could for a fee of $ 5,454! I again explained how miserable I had been for 6 entire months and they could have cared less. Everything is black and white in their eyes. I get that they have a business to run but leaving no room for any exceptions is unreasonable. When I gave my 30-​day notice in writing, it was never even acknowledged. I had to follow up. I scheduled a preliminary walk through for my move out and they no-​showed. When I called the office they said they must have forgotten. I cleaned my apartment from floor to ceiling, on my hands and knees for two days, and they still charged me a cleaning fee of $ 120!
Moreover …
There is trash all over the grounds, for weeks at a time, while dumpsters are overflowing and only picked up once a week; regardless of excess waste. You pay for monthly trash service and do not get what you’re paying for.
The landscapers never use the blowers in the hallways or garages, so drier lint collects for months at your front door and mounds of leaves pile up next to your car for you to trek through and destroy your car mats.
The walls are paper thin so if you live beneath someone, be prepared to hear every TV show, every music selection, every argument, every toilet flush, every load of laundry, etc. There are «quiet hours» that no one seems to be held accountable for. I called patrol several times and nothing was ever done about the after hours noise.
I certainly would never live in an Avalon Bay community again and I would never ever recommend Avalon Bay anywhere to anyone else, not even my worst enemy.

This place is way overpriced! We live in a little sh*thole apartment. The property is dirty, poor management. My friend got his car broken into and his computer stolen. Very bad experience. I would never live here again!!!

Really messy place, takes ages to get anything cleaned in the community. For $ 2k/​mo, would expect more.

I loved living here at Avalon Walnut Ridge! The staff is wonderful (especially Christy and Joe) in making sure that you have everything you need and that they can make your experience better.

If i could give this place no stars i would. This is a horrible community to live in. I had a few neighbor issues, safety issues and issues all around with management. I even had issues before moving into this place!
I was originally suppose to move into the eaves by avalon. The apartment was completely filthy! They obviously did not clean it at all with that it had pee stains from someones pet. I told them i refused to move in there as it is disgusting! Im not paying them almost $ 2k for that and to get work orders to clean it up. Not acceptable. So, they connected me to here. The apartment was clean and suitable to live in for a year while i figured out my next move.
Management and i have never been friends and sadly i could not rate them on professionalism as it does not exist.
I had my apartment broken in twice, both times management did nothing. I was harrassed by a neighbor for allegiately having my dog bark when my dog was not home with me but he was on a hike with my boyfriend. They gave out my personal info but would not answer simple questions like if there was a neighbor above me. I never felt completely safe or felt like the management cared. I moved out in the beg of march and just some of my security deposit back. However, i paid for a cleaner to clean the apartment and joe, the manager said if i submitted an invoice (which i did the the indian girl, kaajal) but was still charged for it when i got a bill of how they came to the amount to give back.
I give zero stara but it wont let me.

I have really enjoyed living here. The team are super friendly and very welcoming. The major positives of living here are their delivery holding service, closeness to BART, closeness to trails, beautiful grounds surrounding apartments and good quality spacious apartments. They are also very dog friendly.

I came from out of state where I was able to get more bang for my buck, but I’m quite happy and very comfortable here at Avalon Walnut Ridge. The units aren’t as updated nor as «posh» as my previous digs, but I’ve been able to look past that and really enjoy myself. I am most appreciative of my friendly and helpful neighbors — the kind of people who will go out of their way to let you know when one of your headlights is out or leave a note on your bike with tips on how to secure it better. I’ve also found the leasing office and community staff helpful whenever I’ve needed their assistance (which isn’t often). The amenities (pool and gym) are somewhat basic, but clean and well maintained. They get the job done.
Like I said, the units could use some updating (i.e. nice countertops, flooring, etc.), but everything is in good shape. Just realize that these are older units. For some additional perspective… in my previous community I was the first tenant to ever live in my unit. Everything was brand spanking new with granite countertops, etc. So it was an adjustment going into a more «lived-​in» apartment, but within a short amount of time I was able to create a nice environment that I’m proud to call my own.

My stay at Avalon Walnut Ridge was cut short due to a unique electrical issue that proved to be unprecidented and challenging to resolve. No other unit experienced the same issue, so I don’t feel this represets the complex as a whole. The upper management was very understanding and worked with me to end my lease early with a fair resolution for all parties involved.
It’s a very safe, quiet and clean community that should be on your list to check out as you search for a new place to live.

I’ve lived in Avalon Walnut Ridge (formerly Archstone Walnut Ridge) with my boyfriend in a 1 bedroom, 697 sq ft apartment since December 2013 and I can honestly say this is the best place I have ever lived. We are in the newest of the three communities here owned by Avalon. I am sad to say that I will be leaving here soon to move closer to my new job, but I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great «bang for your buck» apartment — our rent is only $ 1599 which is very cheap for this type of apartment with the amenities it has in Walnut Creek.
It was built in 2002 and everything is still in great condition.
It’s gated, which made me feel a lot safer being so close to bart.
There’s a washer and dryer in the unit with plenty of storage space.
We have a great walk in closet.
There’s a little fitness center downstairs near the pool with A/​C which has a brand new treadmill, elliptical, bike, weight machine and medicine balls. It is hardly ever used by anyone, probably because the next community over has a larger one.
You can pay your rent online, set up recurring payments, even choose to split rent payments between your & your roommate’s bank accounts.
You can submit service requests online as well but I’ve never had to.
Bart is incredibly close.
Cristy at the office is WONDERFUL — she is very nice, helpful and understanding. She is helping us break our lease early.
Only cons: bart is extremely loud at our unit which faces the tracks, but you get used to it Not every unit is as close to bart as ours. Also our unit is on the third floor in one of the buildings without an elevator which made moving in a bit of a drag but after you’re moved in it’s only really two flights of stairs. Farther from downtown, but is really a good thing considering you’re one exit away from downtown Pleasant Hill which is way less busy, and close to two Safeways and a Trader Joe’s.
Excellent apartment community overall.
