Nice maintenance staff, pretty grounds, and clean pool. Pretty quiet, walls of concrete. Elevator issues but felt safe and happy to live here. Wish I could have stayed, but I was transferred to San Francisco area. Palo Alto and this neighborhood are a perfect little bubble of comfort and convenience. When the whole world is going crazy, everything feels just fine here. Not so much as you get closer to the city. People aren't as nice and a lot a sketchy stuff is all around you. Even the unsheltered in Silicon Vally have RVs. It;s a special place!

I am a Stanford student who had the great fortune of living in this BEAUTIFUL apartment complex for…read morethe past two years. My favorite part of this apartment (one of the tallest buildings in Palo Alto) were the incredible views of the mountains and greenery from my apartment (see photo). Additionally, the pool area/courtyard with blooming flowers, well-landscaped trees, and swinging hammocks was a relaxing oasis especially during COVID-19. The lush lobby has a Stockwell vending machine, luxury-style seating and calming wall waterfall. Lastly, Cathy at the front desk is always friendly, helpful, and warm, contributing to a great homey environment. Catalina and Marlon also do a great job maintaining and improving Tan Plaza. This apartment complex is a great biking (or driving) distance from campus and conveniently located close to San Antonio Shopping Center (Trader Joes, Target, etc). Additionally, Briones Park across the street and Arastradero Preserve and various walking trails were easily accessible as well. In addition to the secured parking area, overnight street parking on Clemo and/or Arastradero is also free and easy. There are a few minor inconveniences with slow elevators and occasional water shut-offs but these didn't bother me much.

I rarely write reviews, but my experience with Verve Mountain View has been so shockingly…read moreunprofessional that I feel compelled to warn others. Here's why: Automatic Payment "Glitch" vs. Rude, Threatening Letters My rent was a few days late because Verve Mountain View's automatic-pay system failed to deduct the funds from my bank account--an issue entirely outside my control. Instead of sending a polite reminder or even a simple "your payment is late" notice, they inundated me with multiple letters dripping in threatening language, accusing me of deliberately shirking payment obligations. They offered zero explanation or apology for their system error. No Prior Notice, No Communication--Just Hostility At no point did I receive a text, email, voicemail, or any warning that the automated payment didn't go through. I've dealt with dozens of landlords and apartment complexes over the years; this is the first time a company blamed me first and asked questions later. Their "late fee" notice was written in a snide, combative tone--no "hello," no "please let us know if you have questions," just curt demands and threats. It felt like they were deliberately trying to intimidate tenants instead of providing straightforward information. Unapologetic, Unaccountable Behavior When I reached out to explain that the problem was on their end, the response was condescending: "It's your responsibility to ensure payments go through," despite having no prior warning that it hadn't. They refused to acknowledge that their own autopay system was malfunctioning. Instead of fixing their backend or at least offering a courtesy call, Verve Mountain View left tenants scrambling to cover surprise late fees--fees we wouldn't owe if their system had worked as advertised. Trust & Respect--Completely Undermined At best, their approach suggests they assume every tenant is dishonest and unresponsive. At worst, they simply don't care if their technology fails, as long as they can slap on extra charges and scare people into paying. The days I spent fielding threatening notices--and rushing around to scramble for extra hundreds of dollars I never should have owed--left me frustrated, stressed, and questioning whether I want to live anywhere that treats tenants this way. Bottom Line: If you value basic courtesy, transparency, and a landlord who actually takes responsibility when their systems screw up, look elsewhere. Verve Mountain View has demonstrated that they'll throw around rude, threatening language at the first sign of any payment hiccup--real or manufactured--without so much as a "sorry for the inconvenience." I can't recommend them, and I'm actively searching for a new apartment because I refuse to support a company that bullies honest tenants instead of fixing its own mistakes.

I have lived in this apartment complex since 2018. The apartment building itself is extremely…read morenicely done and the maintenance crew is fabulous and responsive. The building is also quiet and neighbors are respectful. However, the current management has been incredibly difficult to deal with over the years and has become increasingly so. Every time my lease came up for renewal I felt price gauged and taken advantage of as a current tenant (meanwhile the apartment next door or down the hall would be vacant and on the market for less). In addition, the few times I asked to speak with a human being about a concern, I was met with form letter type email responses or stock language. The pool and hot tub were "under repair" for the greater part of the past year year with no accommodation in terms of an alternative or discount made to tenants. The parking garage doors are frequently broken and the public walkway Mews area at times is littered with trash or with non-tenants drinking on the bench late at night. The move out process includes a mandatory post move out cleaning fee (which I have never experienced in any other high end building). Yes, you have to leave the place in good shape, but to scrub countertops with "mild soap" and make sure the faucets don't have water drops seems beyond reasonable and another way for Verve to save money. Overall, I ended up feeling like a checkbook and not a valued tenant living here and am glad to be moving out. I would look elsewhere in the area before considering the Verve as your top choice. Update: I reached out to the Wecare email weeks ago and never heard back. Not surprised, just wanted to update this group!

The location in Menlo Park is fantastic and very walkable. Ivana, the property manager, has been fantastic. We've never really had a problem with our apartment, and every little issue has been quickly resolved. The building is well maintained with new improvements and upgrades, and Ivana does a nice job hosting periodic events for everyone to meet each other. I wouldn't hesitate to rent here again! Just to add: I haven't had any issues receiving packages, and I'm an online shopping addict who's frequently out of town. We get everything from Amazon to FedEx with no problems.

You'll experience loud noise (all night) from train, trash trucks and neighbors above. Tree next door will also shed leaves and dirt onto your patio furniture daily and you will constantly clean. I've encountered billing errors with my rent and the mandatory parcel mail system. Same fraudulent billing issues for 6 months and manager told me to ship my packages elsewhere. No visitors can enter without walking to the gate to let them in, which is inconvenient. Package deliveries requiring a signature can't be delivered due to the lack of a leasing office or amenities. There's no on-site maintenance, causing delays that are longer than usual. The complex also includes low-income housing. The rent goes up every year!

We lived at Woodview Apts for 6 years~ and no wonder there hasn't been a review in a while because…read moreeveryone who lives there has such an amazing experience it's uncommon for someone to move out. I almost hesitate to write this review because it's such a special place and hidden gem, it almost feels like giving away one of the best treasures of the south bay area. Aldin is the sweetest and most professional property manager we've ever had. He is on top of his work and responsive to the residents. He has built a community of lovely neighbors that make the complex feel more like a comfortable home in a quiet (besides the gardeners and lawn mowers who keep the environment beautiful xD) neighborhood. It's the type of place that families feel good about having their first babies grow up here. We were looking forward to our baby playing here as well, and it was the toughest decision to leave, but we will definitely visit for playdates with our neighbors ^-^

If I ever had any issues, Ramon and his staff were quick to respond, often within 10-15 minutes, even for a slow drain. The grounds are lovely and well-kept, including the pool and hot tub. It's a great community, and I miss it. Ramon, the property manager, lives on-site, and both he and Dana, the office manager, were always kind, helpful, and responsive. The community is close to many conveniences but is surprisingly calm and quiet, despite the proximity to El Camino Real. Would highly recommend to young professionals in the Mountain View area!

Do NOT MOVE HERE at this moment in time. . Fairly safe but there are car break ins in this area…read more Have lived in this place for over 13 years. The maintenance team is SMALL but mighty. It WILL take them some time to get to your requests so don't have your AC go out on the summer. You'll have to burn for over a month. Other than that, small request get taken care of fairly quickly and the maintenance team are kind and work extremely hard. These are OLD buildings excluding the expansion apartments they made so please know if you live on the first floor, you will HEAR EVERYTHING. We are dealing with new neighbors that walk around like the Hulk. New buildings coming soon.. They are building ADU'S for incoming residents and this is going to be built in one of the only parking areas available to spouses. They have NO solution on where us displaced tenants will be able to park nor do they care. There's street parking but the times are constrained I believe it says you cant park between 2am to 6am so Im not sure what they expect people to do. Again, I don't think they care which is a slap in the face to long time tenants. New management set up some interesting rules about not being able to rent the clubhouse out for pool parties anymore which is hilarious because now there are MORE parties that last longer than a 4 hour block with loud music. It also seems that over the summer we have a ton of people who DO NOT live here, utilizing the amenities and staying at the pool and hot tub all day including taking up Tennant parking spaces. We have one parking space covered by the rental agreement and the other has to fend for themselves for parking. Multiply this for all of the other spouses/roommates/partners etc.. who the apartment basically told to figure it out. The rent is too high for us to have to worry about anything. The old manager was way better and attentive. Think twice about moving here, especially if you have children.

Naida, is very responsive to any issues that arise, and makes sure the issue is resolved in a very timely manner to my satisfaction. The grounds are well kept and constantly maintained. It is a relatively quiet community here, with little to no noise issues. They host several fun community events, like Easter Egg hunt, Taco parties, etc. The pool area is very nice with several tables with umbrella and lounge chairs. There is also a hot tub and sauna room located in the bathrooms. The fire pit area is very nice for hanging out in the daytime or evening. And the beautiful pond with occasional ducks swimming inside is very nice. There is a small gym next to the leasing office, but it is very clean and organized and has just what you need to get a good workout and weights in. I've been to the gym and pool several times, and it has never been crowded. To keep it short, if you want a nice, clean, well maintained, quiet community to live in, this is the place for you.
