I've been correstponding with office for over a month and now they said they will be sending some one to assess again. Last year I told them my refridgerator was running hard. Same thing happened and we just kept going in circles. Finally, it died and all my food got wasted. They sent a replacement (used) which I wouldn't have mind, but it was filthy!!! The maintenance guy said he can send someone to clean it tomorrow, but I needed to put some my unwasted items in there. I told the managaemnt my concerns and don't want the same thing to happen again. We are just going in circles. I have to wait till my food is wasted and the refridgerator dies again. No consideration for tenants.

In many occasions in the past, she has gone extra miles to make sure every complaint is taken care off and does not inconvenience me as far as my work schedules. The property is quite and clean compared to most places around the city in terms of landscaping and maintenance. I would recommend this place to friends and family.

Homeless people get into the gate all the time and made us feel very unsafe. Apartments look nice but they are very outdated. Paint is caked onto all the kitchen cabinets and shelves are sticky. If you place anything on shelves the paint peels off easily. Forget about getting your entire deposit back. They will charge you for all the normal apartment maintenance. They charged us for carpet cleaning in a room we didn't even use. Never wore shoes inside the apartment and carpet was left in perfect condition. Charged for painting the apartment for new tenants as well. Overall not a great place to live. Management needs to be nicer to their tenants.

The person who helped me get this place, Lanuola, was very supportive. She helped me with the extenuating circumstances I had with my move-in and secured me a better apartment than the one I was going to get before. She has been a big reason my stay here started amazing and has been consistently good. The environment is mostly quiet. My only gripe is that the trash is always haphazard, and parking is minimal for visitors.

Half the people don't display any sort of parking pass and are allowed to slide while some people have no choice but to pay $100 a month for a reserved spot cause parking is gone and nothing is done about it. Don't even get me started on the rising cost of Conservice (water trash service) It's been going up about 7 bucks a month so far this year. $249 bucks for April is criminal. Outside people come and dump insane amounts of trash or huge items and nothing is ever done.

The place is in a gated community and the grounds of the property are super nice and well maintained. Every resident here has their own parking spots with plenty of guest parking spots to go around. The apartments are very large and spacious, with porches looking over various spots of the property, washer and dryer in the units and high ceilings (on top floors). There are plenty of walking trails inside the property and outside of the property which is great on a nice day. The staff here are really nice and the residents are for the most part quiet. If you have the chance to buy or rent here consider yourself lucky - very gorgeous place.

One consideration was a freight train that crossed Marina Bay Parkway which could hold up the traffic but there is an underpass now. There are 'ponds' fountains, mature trees and geese, ducks, seagulls and ravens. It is a block from the Bay Trail and a view of San Francisco. The buildings are two story, with four units on each floor. There are larger buildings, also two story. The buildings are incredibly well maintained, and painted a restful muted color. Each unit has it's own entry so it is more like a house. Some units have a patio looks out on a pond.I bought a smaller condo facing a large pond, with fountain, and a pine tree. There are two outdoor pools and spas....each overlooking a pond. It does feel like you are living in a resort, as friends of mine have commented on. The location at The Shores is beautiful with the Bay Trail, view of the yachts, water and even a few sand beaches. 80% of the residents work and each unit has a separate entrance so it feels more like a home, but I rarely see anyone except someone walking to or from their car. There is no clubhouse or activities yet. There is a small strip mall with a CVS and Starbucks, cafe, cleaners, Italian and Mexican restaurant. You have to drive on 580 to find shops and grocery stores, like Central Ave in Albany to the El Cerrito shopping mall.. The sales team are wonderful...always very friendly, knew me by name even though I didn't drop in frequently. The HOA meetings are well attended. It is a beautiful complex,, very well maintained and landscaped and so much nature, but it is quite remote. Everyone I have talked to love living here.

I have been a tenant of Charles and Cindy since May of 2007 and I have never had such a positive…read morerenting experience. When I first went to rent the apartments I was a student at the University of Illinois and I moved out here due to graduate school at Cal. Cindy and Chuck were the only people who were friendly enough to do all of the renting and showing of the apartments by email and phone. If things would have been different my moving experience would have been much less fantastic. Additionally, they let me ship all of my things to their home before I moved to California -- this saved me so much trouble. Even beyond my initial experience, Cindy and Chuck have constantly proved to be amazing both as landlords and people. They are constantly working on the apartment and surrounding yard and garden to make the place look immaculate. They are friendly, honest and genuine -- hard to find in people, let alone in landlords. The apartments themselves are furnished and well taken care of. ANECDOTE ALERT! In the past, they have made me cookies and pie and dropped them off freshly baked. In fact, one evening, I got a call from Cindy saying she just baked a peach pie for me and she wanted to drop it off while still warm. Much to my chagrin, I was unable to return to my apartment that evening. So, what did she do? She said, "no big deal, we'll bake you another pie tomorrow because we want you to have it hot". Awesome! Needless to say, that pie was eaten in one sitting. Beyond the food, and hard work ethic, I genuinely love living in my apartment and it feels like Cindy and Chuck genuinely care for their tenants and their well being. Sometimes I think about the fact that someday I will move from this apartment and it saddens me a bit -- I know that as far as landlords go, this is absolutely as good as it gets, everything else will pale in comparison.

Hands-down the nicest owners/landlords in the world. Chuck and Cindy have not only been great as…read morelandlords but they have also become friends. On many occasions we have received fresh cookies, pies, cakes, and anything else Cindy has made a bunch of. I will review the different aspects of the Channing-Milvia Apartments experience. Apartment itself: The apartments are around 600sq. ft. This may seem small but we, my wife and I and soon to arrive daughter, have found it to be the perfect size. The kitchen is large enough for anyone who cooks a few days a week to every night. While they aren't huge they have allowed me to cook quite a bit of food at a time. The living room is large with a desk, bookshelf, futon, and two windows. Apart from the kitchen and bathroom, the apartment has hardwood floors which help to brighten even the 1st floor apartments(we have lived downstairs and upstairs). The bedroom is perfect for a couple, two roommates or a single person. There is a nice closet and a walk in storage room with shelves. The bathroom is small but it really is big enough. Outdoor scene: The backyard is fantastic! Not only is there a grass area capable of holding 15-30 people for a BBQ, but there is a large garden that residents are allowed to use to grow food. There is a peach tree in the garden and a lemon tree along the driveway, each of which produce an abundance of fruit in season. There is a large charcoal grill and a smaller charcoal grill, which residents are free to use at their leisure. Furnishings: Wow, these apartments come with everything you could need. I love to cook, always have(my dad owns a restaurant) and these apartments are supplied with more than enough stuff to prepare holiday feasts. The linens are great and the rest of the furnishings are in great shape. We have just about everything we could need/want here. What if a problem arises? Chuck and Cindy are skilled handy-people. They can fix anything from a leaky faucet to problems with your stove, light fixtures or plumbing. If you report a problem, any problem, they are extremely quick to fix it. We could not wish for better landlords or friends, we will be sad to move in May. We HIGHLY recommend renting here, you will not regret it!
