I want to make very clear the fact that I *have not lived at Isle House apartments.* I am writing this review solely on the basis of having toured the property and my impressions of it in case it may be of help to prospective tenants. Undeniably, the views of The Bay and City skyline at Isle House are beyond compare --the property's design takes excellent advantage of these natural features in its surroundings. Sadly, that was where everything began to fall apart. The two-bedroom units I toured were small, oddly dark inside despite installed lighting being turned on, had lackluster and uninteresting bathroom and kitchen fixtures, and the overall fit and finish of the apartments I saw was surprisingly disappointing. The apartment's micro-refrigerators are sized for people that either have never been inside a grocery store or have absolute zero knowledge of how to cook and shop for food. In other words, the property seems geared toward people who ostensibly are going to be out all the time and never at home, but the problem with that idea is Treasure Island isn't yet filled with nightlife and restaurant / café options like its across-the-Bay counterparts, and I found this design choice particularly odd. There is no on-site storage at Isle House. There is no underground garage at Isle House either, the property designers instead opting for a flashier auto-lift system but with no valet on site to manage it, spelling potential trouble with waiting for vehicle retrieval once the building begins to fill up. Main bathrooms were designed without walk-in showers, a feature I have come to really enjoy and value in my rental home addresses in SF. Apartment entry doors use actual metal keys instead of smart locks like virtually every other newly-built apartment all over SF, something the touring agent didn't really have much explanation for. I found all of these things Isle House lacked and more at the next-door competition (which I will not name in this review) and leased the largest top floor two-bedroom/bathroom apartment that community offered on the spot -- it is a noticeably larger unit than any of the similar apartments I toured at Isle House. My apartment home at that community is light, bright, airy, has more and larger windows, higher ceilings, and still has excellent views of The Bay and surrounding areas for less money than I would have paid to live at Isle House with less features and lesser amenities and in an odd environment. At this competitor community, I was also able to lease the on-site storage I find essential and a comfortable parking space in its spacious underground gated garage as well. I think that Greystar missed the boat (sorry, couldn't resist) in the development of this potentially wonderful and fantastic site on up-and-coming Treasure Island, seeming to opt for cutting corners wherever possible and leaving me as a potential resident feeling very underwhelmed. Though I could have easily afforded to lease a top-floor apartment at Isle House, there was no way I was going to compromise the way I want to live my day-to-day life just because the Isle House apartments had fantastic views -- I'm much happier writing this from my larger top-floor two-bedroom home at its competitor community with higher ceilings, larger and more windows, a grown-up-sized refrigerator, nicer Samsung Bespoke appliances, a walk-in shower in the main bathroom, and access to more attractive and better amenities than I found at Isle House. read more
