The pet pee and poop smell is overwhelming! The residents don't only use the designated areas and…read moreas soon as you walk into this complex it smells strong of pee! Maybe they could create a designated area outside of the middle of the complex. Or if the tenants would actually take their dog to the appropriate areas. Maintenance of the complex is well kept except for that. Nice that it has a pool and clean laundry facilities A ramp would be nice at one place in the entry ways.

Props to Jacque Mierop for always being available and attentive if any maintenance requests were needed and for communicating so effectively.

As well as being only a short drive to the freeway for easy access to all of San Diego! These apartments are seriously a 10/10!

This unfortunately showed a lack of respect for me and my time and I will not be booking another tour for this complex.

I normally don't leave reviews, but people deserve to know what living here was actually like. This…read moreplace advertises itself as a "luxury" apartment complex and charges luxury level rent prices, yet somehow there were constant cockroaches and bug issues. Nothing says luxury quite like paying a premium to see roaches in your apartment AND car. PS, before signing a lease here look inside the garbage room with any flashlight to see roaches running around, don't worry they are in apartments too. Anytime concerns were brought to the office, the responses felt completely nonchalant like it was just "normal" and not something worth properly addressing. Multiple neighbors even agreed the roach problem had been ongoing for a long time, which made it even more frustrating. On top of that, there was one female office employee who was consistently rude, dismissive, and honestly just mean whenever residents had concerns. It got to the point where neighbors would warn each other about dealing with her because apparently everyone already knew how she treated people. For the amount tenants pay, nobody should have to deal with bugs everywhere while being treated like they're dramatic for complaining about it. If you're going to market yourself as luxury apartments, at the very least residents shouldn't have to live with cockroaches and mean employees.

UNSANITARY, UNPROFESSIONAL, UNSAFE DO NOT MOVE TO PARC ONE APARTMENTS After 3 years of residence my family and I have been left with no choice but to move due to so many things in the last year. This was the greatest place when we moved in, honestly I tried to get all my friends to move in because it was so great but for the last year or so this property has been ran into the ground to a point that all of building 3 will be without tenants before they know it. What started with one nasty family has become a roach infested dump and a building with an infestation so bad people are forced to leave. I have a diabetic child and she cannot live in a home with ROACHES, that is so unsanitary and we live in fear every time we have to change her pump and monitor sites because they can easily become infected. The female employee in the office frequently rolls her eyes at me when I remind her of this and shows no concern for the property she is partly responsible for. Speaking of her, watch out because she has a history of harassing tenants. If you're curious just take a walk through the property and ask anyone if they've had a positive interaction with her, the answer is likely no. Not to mention she creates an environment of hostility among tenants. There is a specific tenant who may or may not drive a white Range Rover who does not like that people socialize near that area. Some people smoke and she accuses the group of smoking on the steps every single day and the female office employee will rush to the steps to literally raise her voice at tenants when she doesn't even catch anyone smoking. The list goes on and on. I know people will read this with the typical perspective that I'm only sharing the bad things but please remember this used to be a property that was lively and tenants would bring friends to. There never were available units and now you can walk in pretty much any day of the week and have your pick. If that doesn't speak for itself I invite you to walk the property, casually talk to tenants, I promise you it will blow your mind to find out how run down this place is. And if that still isn't enough you can help yourselves to the roaches in the dumpster room of building 3 for dinner and see if that changes your mind! Just FYI: yes I have been in constant communication with the office and they do little to accept responsibility around here. Due to the unprofessional nature of the employees I do not feel I can go to the property staff with my problems any longer. I have emailed and called the regional manager with no response and good luck getting contact information above that. Greystar as an entity is as shitty as this property. SAFETY WARNING: as a domestic abuse victim I notified the office of a police report when I submitted my 30 day notice on 11/3/25. I specifically told the manager that he cannot let my ex know about the police report FOR MY SAFETY. We were on the lease together and we both had to communicate with them about the move out. This human handed the paper to my abusive ex who then questioned the manger about the police report and he told my ex that he didn't know why I wrote that on there, which then lead my abusive ex to question me about it.

I'm a first-time homeowner, and for months I've been dealing with some difficult-to-diagnose leaks…read morethat were a massive headache. I had five different stucco companies come out to give me a bid for repair work around a window, and John was the only one who actually started from a place of curiosity, asking me questions about the issue. You can tell right away that he's a person of solid character who has also mastered his craft. He took the time to first understand my problem, and then he walked me through the solution with so much patience and clarity (never condescending, just genuinely helpful). Not only was his bid very competitive, but he even took the time to review a competitor's quote with me and pointed out exactly where I was being overcharged for work I didn't even need. He and his son, Garrison, are really solid people. Even though he's a stucco expert and not a leak detection specialist, he went well above and beyond by helping me troubleshoot with a water test to make sure we found the actual source of the leak. For the stucco work that was required, he handled the repairs beautifully. Just as importantly, John identified work that wasn't necessary. If you want someone good-natured, patient, and truly an expert who cares about the final result, call these guys.

Everyone working there that I've…read moreinteracted with was friendly and helpful, maintenance was quick and easy, the 2 pools and jacuzzis were clean and available to use the whole year (when one needed to be fixed, they made sure the other pool was available). The move out process was straightforward and we got back most of our deposit (I think we forgot to clean one thing... oops lol) Also, it's close to the freeway. Easy 20 min drive to La Jolla shores. Very convenient location. Walk to Albertsons (if only it was a Sprouts! lol) I would recommend living here, especially if lakeside is where you're looking. We had a wonderful time living here for about 8 years and only moved because we needed a bigger place.

Central AC in Lakeside?! Do I need to say more?…read more I grew up in Lakeside and have lived in some quite interesting complexes. (Anyone else have PTSD from Woodglen Apartments?) Here at Wintercrest Village Apartments, you will NOT find the following: 1. Tweeker neighbors. 2. Teenage house parties. 3. Parking lot fist fights. 4. Cockroaches. Some of the things I love about living at Wintercrest Village Apartments: 1. Central AC. (Did I already say that?) 2. Two sparkling clean pools/jacuzzis. 3. Two dog parks. (Everyone here loves dogs) 4. Two gyms with cardio machines and weights. 5. Assigned parking. 6. Walking distance from shopping and restaurants. 7. Close to freeways access. 8. Fast response to maintenance requests. (Always fulfilled same day. Even Sunday night emergency requests) 9. Friendly management and staff.

I finally drove by the complex. I didn't even realize this was over here, and I'm literally two…read moreblocks away. They are postponing rentals for an indeterminate amount of time, I didn't feel like I got true or honest information about that. Josie kept referring to her boss, "the lawyer," as the reason they were not accepting move ins. I want to say I have spoken to her a few times over a month or so of apartment searching. Here's my takeaway: if they are always going to drop the "boss is a lawyer" bit, how awful is this place going to be to live? It seems ominous already and I don't even live there. I could lawyer up too (I have needed to before). But why would you want to put that energy out there. If a "lawyer" is taking actual months to draw up such an advantageous lease for them, where will that leave us? Up shit creek, that's where. I literally never have seen an apartment put move ins on hold to write up a more self serving lease. Josie seemed nice, but I felt put off ultimately by the constant "my boss is a lawyer," name dropping. I was told, no bankruptcies, period. Everyone says that. I had a hard time physically and lost a business. Hence, the bankruptcy, several years ago. My credit is solid now, really good. Most NORMAL people can figure that out. Then Josie says, "for 7 years or more." They clearly do not have a clue on what they are doing. After 7 years, you actually can file ANOTHER bankruptcy. Not that I'm planning on it, but that's what the 7 years mark is. I was really shocked that she didn't know the basics of that. My credit is good enough to obtain a mortgage at this point (I have spoken to a lender), but not rent at the Mellmanor. Maybe it's a nice place, I will never know. Good luck to you, fellow apartment hunters.

I'm severely allergic, so it was a serious concern. I reached out to my landlord, Hope right away--even though it was a holiday weekend--and she responded immediately.

Then they followed up and completed the job on Tuesday. I'm so grateful for how quickly and kindly it was handled. Every time I've needed something, they've been right there.

HANDICAP PARKING IS ASSIGNED AND ILLEGAL TO DO BUT THEY DO IT. spots are given and taken cause hope wants to do that. So much dog poop everywhere!! No one picks it up. The pathway smell like pee at times. During the summer the dirt is infested with fleas and your dog will be too. There are residents who cause so much commotion yelling, fight, cussing getting cops called on them. They have cameras up but they seem to be only to make the place look decent. You might get a text saying how they can check the cameras about things like no picking up dog poop. They really don't do anything about that . Dry threats. Fernando will blame all repairs on you. It's your fault it something breaks. Him and Hope don't seem to communicate properly. Location might be good but too many negatives not enough positives.
