We are a retired couple moving from the Florida area to Oceanside. Recently, Lincoln Miltary Housing has opened up some of their homes to retirees. This was an ideal situation for our family. Our leasing agent extraordinaire Otilia has made this a seamless transition for us. She is very personable, responds to emails promptly, and can handle any curveball we throw at her. We are moving there sight unseen so I will be updating this review as we progress along. We have been extremely satisfied thus far with our experience with Lincoln Military Housing (Stuart Mesa). read more

I was told my lease was 6 months and they said they gave me paperwork for 12 months and they want the "concession" back for breaking the lease which will be 7000 dollars. I wasn't supposed to be in any lease and when I signed I was told you can break the lease for 250 dollars anytime. Apparently they tell you one thing in the office and then give you paperwork with different terms. I am going to sue the office and report them for fraudulent business practices for all of those who can't afford to sue them. They don't post the terms of the concession or give you correct paperwork in hopes they can rip you off later. Do not trust anything they give you to sign, they tell you one thing to get you to sign the document and the written document will have different written terms. read more

Liberty Military Housing - Stuart Mesa District - Property Management Near Me - Oceanside, California

See all

I'd like to start this off by saying I'm an avid reviewer on websites like yelp and google reviews and this is my first and only negative review. This is a completely corrupt and shady company who are more concerned about making themselves look good rather then taking care of military families. They used to be Lincoln military but this company has received so many trash & legitimate BAD reviews they had to change their name to liberty. We recently requested a transfer to a San Onofre district because Stuart Mesa is the most backwards community I have ever lived in. My mental health has never reached lows the way it has since moving here dealing with the inept employees. My husbands reasoning for the request is listed as follows : After almost a year of maintenance issues never being taken care of and feeling attacked by our own housing community employees we feel we can no longer live here. In august of 2020 , 7 days after my wife gave birth to our daughter, Liberty came to fix a running toilet. Whatever that employee did caused my entire garage to flood from the ceiling leaking heavily. We were forced out of our home into FOUR different temp homes. They were either dirty, already in use, or flea infested. In May of 2021 we began to file complaints with our district office on our connecting neighbor. These neighbors were violent and abusive towards our dogs. At one point we had on video, our neighbor throwing rat poison over the fence for my dog to find. I emailed housing this video and photos. No response. No action taken. My neighbors would yell extremely foul obscenities knowing a small and impressionable child lives next door. Housing never ONCE gave these issues a second or even first look. My wife felt unsafe for months until I came back home In november. In January of 2022 Liberty canceled our lease and concessions with absolutely no intention of informing us. My wife later found out in March of 2022 when she asked why our checks were late. When she asked why we were not informed she was told " we tried to reach you" Neither of us ever received a call or email regarding a lease cancellation. In April of 2022 housing approached my wife at our front door to let her know we lost our pet privileges here on camp pendleton and our dogs needed to be rehomed within 24 hours. We were told our pet privileges were revoked because we had a restricted breed on base. They assumed she was a pitbull and instantly forced her out of her home without even giving us a chance to DNa test her and prove she wasn't a pitbull. Later testing resulted in her in fact, not being a pitbull. It was devastating telling my two-year-old she had to say goodbye to her dogs. At this point we began to feel like we were targeted by the Stuart mesa liberty employees. We felt we were being singled out. In the same month Liberty left a note on our door stating they were doing a mandatory home inspection to make sure our dogs were gone and nobody was staying at our home other than my wife and daughter. They assigned this appointment to a certain date, when this date came i waited at home all day just for them to never show up or even call to cancel. Instead they wasted my entire day and time. I felt completely disrespected. I can provide a massive amount of maintenance requests logs because no matter what this house is constantly falling apart. We have not had functioning plumbing in months. Stuart Mesa housing is aware of this and has been. Let me shine light once again on NO PLUMBING FOE THREE MONTHS. Once I finally had enough and reached out to the government side of housing they immediately sent someone to fix our plumbing. Which I'm so grateful for because wow, I could finally use the restroom in my own house and not a neighbors after 3 months !! A district manager reached out same day and asked to come in the next morning to check the house out. Sure enough they deemed it liveable because it was fixed the day before so those 3 months my family suffered meant NOTHING. Incredibly shady if you ask me. On Fourth of July a liberty maintenance employee damaged my family members truck AND managed to get paint all over my car. They walked away from the scene and did not leave a note or contact us. Stuart Mesa employees are aware and have done nothing. The list continues on for how incredibly trash this company is. I will absolutely not be deleting this review so to Liberty ; do not contact me regarding this review in specific. You can fish for fake positive reviews all you want. Until you start caring about the families here, nobody will leave a nice review. All in all, no I do not recommend Liberty Military housing. I've been here 3 years and would do anything in my power to leave. read more

The house itself is fine. It's the poorly trained management that takes this place down to 2 stars. They can't get their facts straight at the office and the ladies there contradict each other on simple matters, wasting residents time. My husband has to bring the MCO in because they have no clue what they are talking about but insist on being condescending. On top of that, they'll blame human error and make lame excuses for not sending concession checks on time and dropping the ball on your lease. Now they're trying to pull a fast one and change the rules late in the game to make us pay more. It seems pretty illegal. THIS is why your command doesn't want you to live on base! Lincoln, please make an effort to at least be proficient in your job. It shouldn't be too much to ask for competency and consistency in the front office. This place is a joke. read more

Ive lived in this community for over 3 years and I've never had an issue that couldn't solved. All the staff I've encountered have always been extremely helpful and ready to help me with anything I needed. I've decided to stay living here over moving off base for the decreased travel time to work, good size home, and the many benefits of living on base. Portia and her team always goes above and beyond with assisting me anytime I need maintenance work done. read more

Cheyenne and Caitlyn are so sweet!! They were very helpful, answered all my questions and were generally happy for me moving into my new home! I really love how clean and peaceful the Stuart Mesa housing is , and all the amenities that are included ! My husband and I love it here read more

Any time I need anything, whether it's a maintenance request or just a simple question, the girls in the office always so sweet and helpful. They made the application and move in process as simple as they could and were more than happy to accommodate my family when we moved in. read more

The housing on base is decent. They always get repairs done quickly, though not always efficiently, the representatives are super sweet though and very accommodating. I would give them 5 stars if rent weren't so expensive. read more

The 5 stars are for Daniel, the Maintenance Supervisor of the Wire Mtn. District. He should train the housing office girls how to deliver quality customer service. He is an asset to Lincoln and to the entire base. Semper fi, Daniel. read more

Lived in South Mesa I for a little over a year before my husband got selected for DI duty and we moved to San Diego. During the initial inspection to move out, we were told everything looked great and the man even THANKED us for keeping the house so nice. No major issues were noted. I was very happy. So when the final out inspection came, a few weeks later, the same man told my husband (I was not present for this inspection) that the ENTIRE carpet needed replaced and that it would total ...oh... about $3000, but just because they are so nice, they will knock it down to half that. That came out of now where. That definitely should have been brought up during initial inspection, right? We attempted to take our grievances up the the Lincoln Housing chain to no avail. Other than that, final experience, we were sick of paying $ 100 or more a month for electricity when we had no AC and it got HOT!!! Sorry Lincoln folks-- there is no "ocean breeze".... And if there is no need for AC, then why is your office where you people work air conditioned? Hmmmm. They just want money from military members. They scam you and they get away with it because they know we have get back to our job or PCS , etc and can't be messing around. These people should be investigated. It is indeed wise to STAY AWAY from South Mesa I. read more

Completely unreasonable. After 5 years in the service and an honorable discharge, I was delayed from leaving Stuart mesa housing due to issues with my separation package. I tried to talk with the employee specifically at the Stuart Mesa housing office to describe my situation. I was going to have to stay 2 days past my EAS in housing because of complications with DSO scheduling my military move of household goods. This didn't matter to them and they had no concern for me, only my money. I had to come out of pocket to pay $200+ just to stay the 2 extra days after my EAS because I was waiting on the movers the navy had scheduled for me. So reluctantly with no other option I agreed to send them a check after the move for the amount owed. Now that it's been a few months I receive a letter in the mail staying I owe a balance of $1,632.97. I find this to be completely absurd so I called the housing office only to be told I haven't paid them anything and that my debt and been forwarded to collections. I am completely mind blown at the total disregard for me as a veteran and a former member of their housing area, specifically Stuart Mesa. Just a warning, they may seem nice but it's not you their smiling at, it's the ridiculous amounts of money they receive from military means for poor housing it what's making them so happy. How did a couple hundred dollars turn into almost a couple thousand? And how could this had been sent to collections before I was ever even notified by them. Not a single call or email at least warning me of their attempt to steal my money from me. Completely mind blown. Stay away from Lincoln military and Stuart Mesa specifically. Find a place off base and do not continue to make these people filthy rich. read more

This is for Stuart Mesa housing part of Lincoln military housing. Now Lincoln military I never thought I'd have to worry about choosing your company with base housing but coming to camp Pendleton you have proved me wrong. The difference between San Diego and here is more then 35 miles of driving. Housing quality is so low here your communities don't do near as many events and they hardly reach the pride thy goes into planning those events as they put in San Diego !! Most every home doesn't have AC here which is beyond healthy for children when the temps stay 80 threw out the night. Let alone the cockroach problems you try to cover up with just spraying when the houses should be tented!! You guys fall short on tons in comparison to San Diego instillation and it's truly sad and disappointing. Yea living here was a choice but again we have to sign a year contract. The yards are not even set to have dogs let alone 2 dogs ! I know housing that has bigger yards in San Diego that is a none dog friendly housing. Also you guys do not have professional cleaners come in a clean these homes in between tenets bc you'd like to save a buck also very unsanitary you think any family that makes a move wants to show up here and deep clean their new home bc you failed to do so? Also to be told our carpet was new as of 2013 is a bold ass lie and if not ok the carpet might be new but the short cut you all made in not replacing the padding and stains coming up after being here for 2 months is gross ! Plus we can't even get a free cleaning until we've been here for a year. Stuart Mesa also screwed with our bah allotment and charged us San Diego 1/2 of bah even thou all their papers stated and orders stated we were here in camp Pendleton. To get back the difference bc they over charged us 150$ took 2 months and U.S. Keeping on them to do their job. This installation of housing is by far the worse. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. You guys lack in office knowledge, cleanliness, and family events. I've never had anything done by your workers for the homes without having to call back and have them come again for a second and third time. Lincoln military housing Stuart Mesa gives Lincoln a bad bad name and it's a shame bc I have always felt so great about Lincoln military housing. Someone definitely needs to come out and look at just how gross bug infested over heated and dirty these homes are and just how none educated this office is. Don't ever think about moving into here. Ever ! read more
