I've called the management to fix our oven, fridge, and counters multiple times yet they never came. They show you a nice apartment with many utilities included, but in reality, it's absolutely terrible. I asked Trevor if he had a one bedroom apartment, since I couldn't afford the two bedroom one, and he said that he didn't. That same day I called Trevor off of a phone number he doesn't know, and asked him if he had a one bedroom apartment, and he said he did have one and that it was ready for touring anytime. The place is not even worth the expensive rent. I would NEVER recommend this place!!

I lived at Marina Meadows from July 2008 through January 2011. The apartments are well maintained -…read morerequests for maintenance are always handled quickly. They have 1 and 2 bedrooms and they come with a 1-car garage and storage room. Sound proofing is not great, there were some issues with noisy upstairs neighbors, but the apt manager helped to solve that problem. Parking for extra cars can be an issue, as there is a limited amount of extra spaces in the complex and usually a fight for street parking. They now offer recycling pick up which is great. Rent increased once, but I understand that was the only time in 5 years. I wish they would update the kitchens and the bathrooms - the cabinets were in pretty sad shape. Really enjoyed working with Tobie the apartment manager and all of the maintenance staff. Neighbors were nice also. Had a difficult time when I moved out getting my security deposit back. They contract a private cleaning service (consists of one man) who does the final walk through inspection with the manager. I spent an entire 8 hour Sunday cleaning my apartment to a condition that was better than I received it, and on Monday, my bf and I met w/ the apartment manager and the cleaning guy. Unfortunately, the cleaning guy took over the whole inspection, walking around and pointing out what he could clean "better." In my opinion, this was a conflict of interest, as the cleaner was in a position to make money on whatever he said needed better cleaning. Here's some of the things they found needed better cleaning: - they wanted the oven taken apart and scraped of any baked on grease (we had already done that but they wanted it in new condition. this was a 20 year old oven at least), - they wanted the kitchen floor stripped and waxed (something I'd never done before and was nervous about) and i realized why the entire time I'd lived there, there were stains on the linoleum that I couldn't get up - previous tenants had waxed over dirt. - they wanted the caulking around the toilet redone (it was old and dirty when we got the apartment), - they wanted the shower doors removed and caulking redone there (previously, someone had clear caulked over mildew), and - they wanted 20 year old water spots removed from the plastic shower and doors. For all of this, the contract cleaner guy wanted almost $500. I am left to assume that Marina Meadows was NOT using this cleaner prior to me moving into my apartment, because my apartment was not up to his clean standards when I moved in. The apartment was not dirty - but it was a 20 year old apartment and showed its age. The apartment manager gave us more time to clean and long story short, we cleaned for another 10 days and had 4 more inspections, each time, they said that the apartment was not clean enough. Finally, we gave up. They told us we'd get all but $300 back. I brought my camera and took pictures, sadly preparing to go to court. In the end, the apartment manager said we'd done a good job and gave us 100% of our deposit back, but I have to admit, the experience was very stressful and unnecessary. I don't feel that 20 year old apartments can be restored to "new condition" by normal people - you have to be a professional cleaner with access to industrial strength products. I'm thankful I got my deposit back, but I encourage new residents to fill out their move-in checklist with exacting conditions. Make a note of every speck of dirt, or drop of grease inside the oven - take pictures if you can. Because you will most likely be called on it when you move out. Overall, I loved my apartment at Marina Meadows and recommend this complex.

Furthermore, they will always find an illegal way to keep your security and probably tack on more expense. They were supposed to change a portion of my carpet--it was in perfect condition. $200, they said, for one stain---Suddenly i have a bill for $1000 PAST my $700 security deposit and by that time i had left CA.

Upon move-in, we were met with a missing mirror in the bathroom and no toilet paper holders in both bathrooms along with MOLD along with the shower frame (you can't get this off without removing all the sealer and redoing it. Sounds easy enough but they couldn't do it prior to move in.) The windows are single pain so it is incredibly cold and anyone can hear you even with them closed. The condensation is real on the windows as well. If you don't tend to them you will develop salmonella on the window seal. All that aside, you'll have a pet rat whether you want it or not! We had some get into our home and eat veggies off the counter. Reached out to have it fixed immediately and nothing happened until the following week! I have even witnessed them running around the grass and into their extremely overgrown bushes. Again, asked for them to be trimmed down and nothing happened. Don't even get me started on the "groundsmen"!!! They are so rude! They get paid to clean up and just throw stuff around to make it look like they're working. And if you even think to talk to them... just don't. Nothing will be solved! This place is so run down and ass-backward, I'm surprised they haven't been shut down for all their issues. They cant be up to code, especially with rotting wood all over the building, black mold in the homes, and rats running around like they pay rent. There is a positive I suppose. Almost everyone in the complex is tolerable. There are happy loud kids playing outside all the time and it is magic to most people's ears. Parking is a nightmare, especially because there are SO MANY abandoned cars parked in the extra spaces and never move! The owners even keep their busted trailer there and I've been told that it hasn't moved in 15+ years. If you decide to be brave and move in make sure you check everything! Including the carpets! They don't clean them after every tenant.

So, people will inevitably park in your assigned spot and there'll be nothing you can do about it until the next morning or Monday morning. The police will refuse to help because it's private property and the towing company won't recognize your authority over the parking spot that your lease says you are entitled to have. People are allowed to have pets due to state law regarding support animals. Other than the loud barking, the problem with this is that they'll walk their dogs off-leash after hours, or even when the office is open when they know it'll be brief enough to not get reprimanded. The complex manager will abuse her authority to enter your unit by giving false reasons on her 24-hour notice. She'll stop by at 5:20pm and tell you that they have to enter the next day during work hours, even though 24-hours later won't occur until 5:20pm the next day. The complex had holiday parties pre-covid, but relations are too tense for those to return. Traffic problems will get much worse once people start moving into the new nearby Enclave, but city officials refuse to create a throughway for Coe AVE. So, the only outlets are Monterey RD and General Jim Moore RD. There are nice views, a hot tub, a gym, a pool, and a decent main laundry room, but there seems to be little emphasis on the part of management to address the actual problems with the complex.

I called back again on September 4th to see if I could make arrangements to view the apartment and no one answered the phone, so I left a voicemail. I received no call back. September 5th, I e-mailed using their contact form on their website stating my desire to view the apartment. They had posted a notice on their website that the apartment that was advertised as not available until Sept. 16th was no longer available. So I asked if the apartment was not yet occupied, if I could view it to see if I even liked it enough to be placed on the waiting list. I never received an e-mail response or phone call back.
