I found both the management team and maintenance team to be very responsive and friendly. I lived at Montrose for 1 year (1BR floorplan). The apartment has nice fit and finish, and useful amenities such as a dog washing room and a clean gym. It's also in a great location-- the walk to downtown Mountain View takes ~20 minutes. I moved to another apartment because I found a better deal on a studio and I now work in the office everyday. If I was still WFH, I would have renewed my lease at Montrose.

He has always went above and beyond to ensure that our problems were fixed, and there was never a time where he couldn't fix it. He helped make sure that we were comfortable and satisfied with what work needed to be done. The rooftop amenity is my favorite as it is great for get togethers and enjoying a BBQ or even just relaxing by the firepits at night. We are renting a 1 BR and the space you get accompanied by the high ceiling is just perfect for a couple or single.

We lived there for 3 years. This is our observation Pros:-…read more1. Maintenance was responsive and professional. George is very friendly 2. The place was quiet and at walkable distance from google (15 mins). Cons:- 1. The insulation was very bad. It becomes very hot in summer and cold in winter. 2. Overall value for money was very bad. For around 2300-2400 per month apartment we expected a little more standard. The size of the apartment is below 600 sqft. 3. The kitchen was small with no dishwasher. 4. Severe bug problem. 5. We stayed there for 3 years. When we left , we cleaned the house thoroughly. But, still they charged around 260 for cleaning. I am not sure, if thats normal, but being a long term resident we hoped they would be a little more supportive. Overall i would if you are planning to stay there for short term, then its maybe ok. We have other more pressing matters, so couldn't change our apartment sooner.

Now that I've had a chance to settle in for two months, it's time to leave a review for this…read morebeautiful, exceptionally well managed community and its wonderful staff. For reference, I also own a condo here in Mountain View and I've lived at other Prometheus properties in Silicon Valley (from most recent to oldest: 100 Moffett, Cupertino City Center, and the Biltmore), as well as non-Prometheus properties (The Turing, City Gate, Arioso, and The Hamptons). I've been fortunate to have a lot of generally good experience over the years, but Park Place stands out above all the rest for so many reasons. I want to start with the staff (in the order that I met them): Athena, Michelle, Rudy, Bryan, Cynthia, Andrea, and Yen. Amazing staff, super friendly, helpful, and professional. From the first experience through moving in, I feel like I've made friends. These are people I genuinely like, who have treated me, my wife, and my dog so cheerfully and courteously. Your experience at any property starts with the staff, and these wonderful people foster a genuine feeling of welcome and inclusion in the community that we really love and appreciate. I'd give more than five stars just because of the staff, if I could. While talking about staff, I also have to mention the maintenance team. They are super friendly and super responsive when you need something. 5 star for maintenance. For the property, I have to say this was the whole appeal for moving here initially. The location is amazing. It's downtown Mountain View next to all the venues Castro Street has to offer, but it's situated in an absolutely lovely spot across the street from pretty Pioneer Memory park with the library, city hall, and performing arts center on its north side, and adjacent to Eagle park on its west side, with a Starbucks on its east side. This is such a terrifically walkable area and it's gorgeous. Pictures don't do it justice; you need to visit and walk around for yourself. This, along with the aesthetics and attractiveness of the grounds here on the property, is 100% the reason why we chose to rent out our condo and move here. Same as with the staff, I'd give more than five stars if I could. Within the property, the amenities are truly outstanding. We have two great gyms (one with a yoga / exercise studio), a lovely clubhouse, a nice salt water pool, and the best pet spa of any property I've ever lived at -- perfect for washing our 80 pound lab! 5 stars! And speaking of our lab, I have lived at other pet-friendly communities before, but this one is the best hands down. After two months of living here, I'm impressed at how well-behaved the other dogs are and how responsible the other pet owners are. As far as the apartment itself, we love the calming color scheme and the layout. The home is very pleasant and comfortable. If the unit is ever offered for sale, we're definitely going to buy it, that's how happy we are with it. 5 stars! So, to Athena, Michelle, Rudy, Bryan, Cynthia, Andrea, and Yen, to Prometheus, and to our friendly neighbors, thanks for welcoming us here. We absolutely love living here. If you're reading this and considering moving to Park Place, definitely come visit and meet the staff and take time to walk around and really experience the area and its vibe. I highly recommend it!

The management isn't going to accommodate you in a best way after you signed the lease. The location is great and the neighborhood is good, but inside the building is another story. The property has a paper-thin walls, you can hear neighbors walking in adjacent units. The noise from the faucets is so loud that might wake you up when people take showers at night. A constant smell of cooking food is everywhere, in halls, in the unit and it's coming from other tenants prepping their food. If the unit is facing the parking lot, you might also get a smell of weed or cigarettes. Some people "relax" in the back of a parking lot daily, and it's getting to a building. These are only minor things that some could find annoying. But it's hard to not notice a trash smell inside the building in the summer time. Don't rent units close to a trash disposal or elevators (too noisy). Avoid units facing an adjacent lumber store. It causes a lot of mill dust from its operations. If your unit doesn't have an AC, ask for one. It gets too hot in summer, with the AC always on it gets to 80+ degrees inside small units. Anything facing the pool is right under the sun path. The good part is that you'll get a ton of sunlight, and it's constantly bright in rooms in winter times. All in all, beware. There are better places in this neighborhood. Best of luck finding one that'll fit you. - Han Juanxiu

I am a previous resident and I had lived in this apartment for 2.3 years (2018 - 2020). I realized…read morehow great this apartment was after I moved to other apartment on the same street. [Pros] -. Gated building -. Quiet The wall is not too thin so I have never heard anything from my next door neighbor (I am suffering in my current place - not this apartment). No loud slamming door noise even though I lived at right next to the exit. -. Management The manager is not always in the office, but I didn't have any issue that I needed to call/meet her. Email response was reasonably quick. They have maintenance portal and the response for maintenance is quick. -. Location Not to mention, location is nice - close to San Antonio shopping center, Walmart, Target, Safeway in a walk distance. Since it is located at the end of the street, it is a quiet place and street parking (for visitors) are easy. -. Utility Compared to other similar apartments, utility wasn't that high. (Again, I realized this after I moved to other apartment that has similar rent fee) [Cons] -. There is an A/C and heater - but not a central A/C or heater. A/C is attached to the window, and heater is a radiator, which is not that efficient. But, with this rent fee, it makes sense. If you find other apartments that have similar rent fee as this (in this area) & they have a central system, the utility fee will be skyrocketing, not as efficient as in a new building. If the heater runs by gas, it would cost much less, but it runs by electricity, this may cause more your PG&E cost. But utility fee itself is not that much. -. Caltrain noise This apartment is close to Caltrain railway, so there is Caltrain noise. If you are very sensitive to it, this is not your place. I could hear it, but that was not a big problem for me. (I would choose this noise rather than neighbor noise if I had to choose either one.) They kept replacing old windows with an upgraded windows that can block the noise (mine was before replacing). [Summary] This is an affordable apartment. It doesn't seem that many residents are moving in and out. I could see same neighbors (at least) during my stay. No critical issue with a reasonable price in this location.

I lived at Southwood for nearly five years, from January 2018 until October 2022. Initially, it was…read moremostly fantastic. The biggest issue I had was that they were doing construction work when we moved in. They said it'd be done in "around two weeks" but it actually took nearly two years to complete. Back then, they had a guarantee that maintenance requests would be handled within 48 hours, and the on-site staff (one maintenance person and one leasing office person) would usually fix any issues on the same day. Once COVID happened, everything changed. Staff were no longer onsite and maintenance suffered as a result. Even once COVID restrictions were lifted, Equity Residential decided to have one leasing office staff member split across three or four of their properties, rather than one per property. Maintenance is no longer on-site, and fixes that used to be done in less than a day now take weeks. Water bills went up significantly due to things like the pool/spa leaking water non-stop for over a week. They started a big modernization project right as I was moving out, to remodel the apartments. This is great since the apartments looked pretty dated inside, but I think part of it was just an excuse to increase the rents even higher. It's a good location, and the park directly behind the property is nice. I used to walk my dog there all the time. However, that doesn't make up for Equity Residential reducing service while increasing rents.

I liked this place when I first moved in in 2020. They had an onsite manager, who was wonderful and…read morean onsite maintenance man, who was also great. Since that time my rent has increased 350$ each year of living here. Both Sam and Angela, the onsite staff, have been fired. In addition, they stopped accepting my electronic rent checks, without any explanation or way to fix it and have started charging an extra 132$/month just to pay a rent check. Yes, you have to pay a monthly surcharge to pay rent here. To top it off, the water and garbage bills are exorbitant. Because it's shared between the other 100 or so residents, the bill is never less than 200$/month and that doesn't include the electricity/gas bills. When all is said and done, I'm paying almost 5000$/month to live here! It's a great location but the building is old as are the appliances. Not worth it anymore.

However, we had a pretty bad experience with the apartment quality, and the landlord is very slow to respond. We had to leave multiple texts, calls, voicemails to get any help. Additionally, after we moved out earlier this year, the landlord refused to respond to my requests to get the security deposit back for a month until I told them I was ready to go to court. And when they finally returned the deposit after a month of us moving out, we were slammed with $300+ in cleaning related deductions. This is against the law since it had been more than 21 days since we vacated the apartment in perfectly good condition. The landlord Hugo just refuses to respond to text/email/calls/voicemails even now as I try to resolve the dispute outside of court.
