I have loved living in this neighborhood for about three years - of course our rent is high but I feel that we actually found a good deal with our great landlord, our house is beautiful, and I love the pool and gym. However, as many on here have mentioned, the parking situation is just ridiculous!! Not only we pay about $2,500 for rent every month, but we also pay $200 for the extra parking permit every year since there are 3 residents in my house (3 story townhomes = 3 residents). This would be all well and good if parking was available past 8 pm when, God forbid, I have to leave the house for whatever reason or am just getting home. What's most frustrating about the parking is that there are SO many Visitors spots (in addition to the reserved parking spots) throughout the neighborhood that can't be used overnight, but residents can't park there either! So what's the point?!! Why am I spending this money to pass by the empty spaces at night that I can't park in? PLEASE restructure this so it makes sense and caters to the residents that actually have to park there every night!! read more

Great community and beautiful architecture throughout the entire area. It nice to have it gated and also security during evening hours.

I'll start with the Coronado HOA..the parking structure is very flawed. U have to pay for parking passes as also a visitor pass. The visitor pass you are only allowed to use twice a week. Also, on the second time of using the pass they will give you a "final warning" on ur window to not use it again for the week or they will tow. A lot of college parties go on in the community since the majority of residence here are renting college students. And last, we recently installed solar on our roof. It was a huge ordeal with the HOA board. They not only had a huge lack of communication throughout the process, but blamed us for not following their instructions in order, although we had messaged them multiple times with no responses given on there end. we were fined $1200 with the excuse of having to repair roof damage that was done during the install. We later found out that they had done this to a couple of other owners in the community. Same cost, same story. When we looked at the final bill that they had sent us with the cost, it had a breakdown of what needed to be done and shows that they are not only using my $1200 to repair a tile or two (if that's even the case), but also for maintenance on the roof like "removing leaves" etc. keep in mind, I pay a monthly HOA fee for what I assumed would be for maintenance. Why am I paying $1200 to clean up leaves on my roof? The solar installers have had such a hard time with this HOA board, that they have now refused to install any more solar panels for the residence in this community. Oh! And there is a mystery resident who poops in the pool. Causing the pool to be shut down temporarily. So far has happened twice in the last 2 months. read more

Parking rules are extremely strict and they do not backup their owners! No wonder majority of the individuals here are renters or are selling their condos. FACTS: Currently the entire pool area and gym are closed for months (Feb 2018). Does it REALLY takes months to renovate the gym or pool? Our HOA of $200+ a month rate the same without these amenities. Original owner for almost 12 years. I'm not sure how we all lasted this long. We love the San Marcos area, but this association/complex is a disgrace, an unnecessary stressful entity to deal with. Since the market is high we plan on selling and moving to a completely different area of San Marcos. Packages left in front get stolen regularly. I agree with the other reviews that security guards socialize and just sit down and stare at their device. I don't need to state any other facts, just checkout other reviews. That will validate this review 100%. I just want to hug the other individuals who have dealt with this HOA for a while like myself. So far many people have gathered evidence (emails to management, pictures, videos, etc) and there are possible a few lawsuits going to happen against them. This HOA violates their own rules... read more

I have really loved living here. The HOA has been very attentive, the place is beautifully taken care of and most of the people I have met have been great. The car speeding has much improved since they put in the rubber speed bumps. But once in a while I will notice that one of the student rentals will party and be noisy past 10pm. Other than that, I feel safe and happy here. read more

Update, this is a good place to get your trashcans stolen...second time in three years it has happened. There is security all night, vendors and realtors all day no one saw anything...it be nice if there was an organization to look into the matter however, parking and monitoring the pool is the biggest concern. read more

Rochelle at the HOA office is one of the most helpful and hardworking individuals I have come across. She is always available it seems and answers my calls willing to help. I know she has a lot going on especially right now in the new year and she still didn't make me feel rushed when I had an appointment with her. read more

Wonderful community and very well kept. Nice to see an HOA take pride in how the community looks and to keep unauthorized vehicles from parking in the community. read more

This place sucks. I don't live here, but was towed after visiting my girlfriends who do. Interestingly, their guest passes can only be used twice a week, so it's virtually impossible for them to host visits from family, friends, etc. I was literally parked in a visitor parking spot in a near deserted parking lot and walked out to my truck MIA this morning. This cost me $300. What a waste of time and resources. A coworker of mine lives here as well and has the same issues and complaints as my girlfriends. Avoid at all costs. read more

HOA's ask me to remove my flowers from the balcony.........seriously!!!!! There are a lot of more serious issues here than my flowers. Absolutely ridiculous new management company here, Walters Management. Deal with parking, stolen mail, crap college student and other more important things!!!! read more

I've lived here for close to 10 years and am an original homeowner. After the first two years the community got out of hand when a crap ton of college kids moved in (coupled with the foreclosures re: market crash). Most of the college kids (we do have some great college renters in here, but they have been the exception and not the rule) turned the neighborhood into frat row and had zero respect for our property. So, the HOA started enforcing rules we already had in place to turn things around. We finally got a new management company, Lindsay Management Services, and a highly skilled property manager Jill Schilling, and our community has improved significantly. It is a nice place to live again, with nice amenities. I guess the bottom line is if you want to behave like an animal, then don't live here. And our parking policy is strict because parking was so badly abused. When folks that pay a lot to live here can't find a parking spot because Delta Delta Delta is having a kegger, something is wrong. (No offense to Greeks, I was in a sorority, we were just more respectful of our neighbors.) read more

Coronado Ranch Hoa - University Housing Near Me - San Marcos, California

For the price these condos are going for, this is not worth it! It is not a peaceful neighborhood. Too much of a frat house environment. 3 weeks ago there was a sat night party that had easily 200+ attendees & more streaming into the "security" gate. Security was right there & did nothing about it, except tip off when the sheriff was called. But there are also parties during the work week, where there are loud, drunk coeds outside your bedroom window @2-3am. Don't buy or rent here if you want to sleep! read more

Not too much of a fan. They have horrible parking rules and don't work to help people that pay for their community be serviced and up to par. Any HOA really is no good. Paying people to tell you how to live. read more

We moved here about 14 months ago place is nice lot of improvements have been been made, only down part lots of collage students and renters . I see a lot of complaints in here, you may want to read the what you sign "your lease" its fully explains the rules also the CC&R'S. We never had an issue we could not resolve true communication to management. So if you like to live in a place where is the rules are enforced and safe and clean community this is a place for you.......if you a snowflake look elsewhere............... read more

Also they have cleaning people working unsafe on Saturday's and Sunday's when we're looking forward to nice quiet peaceful surroundings....that group of cleaning don't even speak English ....leaving mess around......why is so hard to let us use barbecue grill without being so controlling Communists read more

As expected, another group of people we pay so they can tell us how to live and in the off chance you actually need them for something, they tell you its not their responsibility. How HOA's still exist and employ robots to enforce the rules no idea. read more

Noisey noisey noisey! Classic cars motorcycles and partying college kids by the pool make this apartment complex a 24 hr circus. Pass! However it is clean and safe. read more

Been living in the Community for 5 months now and I love it. The only downfall is there's lots of college kids partying all the time, but hey- I know I did in my young days. My kids love the gym, pool and the playground area- very beautiful community. The onsite Assistant is great as well as the Community Manager Jill. Very friendly. I hope it stays that way. read more
