Things have improved. Maintenance on pools and Bar-B-Q amazing. Events have improved 100%. Still living here and enjoying life. read more

I like this place now. At first I gave it a terrible review because I had a medical emergency and was told that I could not delay move-in or get a refund of my deposit. Well, they have really stepped up and refunded my deposit. Now I will reconsider moving here again. I toured an apartment and it was everything I wanted. read more

The leasing office staff is rude and apparently there seems to be a problem in that staff do not stay. This is an over 55 age complex and there is no concern in keeping long term residents. Tents are already high yet they raise it on average $150 yearly and many seniors are on fixed income and can't afford the increases therefore there is a great turnover in rentals which stay vacant for months. Yet they advertise promos for new residents with lower base rent and longer lease plans but current residents are not offered monthly lease options when renewing a lease. There is not enough parking and if you come home after 6pm you might have to park in the Walmart parking lot. There's a waiting list for assigned parking which is an extra $60 a month. This is a no smoking complex yet they don't enforce it and residents still puff away and the smoke penetrates into other apartments. The trash is not picked up at times and the office feels residents should call Edco to complain. The laundry room is not maintained well and is in need of new machines. I've never been as disappointed in a complex as I am with this place. Save your time and money and look elsewhere. read more

Management who cares about the tenants.I have been here since February 2022. I have a lovely apartment, and very nice neighbors except during the very late nights and early mornings. This is a very large floor and people choose these hours to do their laundry. When I first moved in, the laundry was locked at 10 p m, and unlocked at 7 a m. Now it is opened 24/7. I haves complained in writing and verbally about the late hours in the laundry but NOTHING is being done. My bedroom abuts the laundry wall. Take my advice, don't consider Overture San Marcos. read more

Do not move in there. Once you're in, your apartment will get absolutely no improvements ever. Mom's bathtub was corroded and the toilet ceramics cracked and black. Chipped cabinets, constant plumbing issues, broken elevator often and pet stained carpets. Don't be fooled by the nice leasing office (if you can ever get in since it's usually closed). Office staff are very smiley but never return calls and just provide lip service. Also took a month's rent out of her account for ending the lease a few months early (due to medical necessity). In summary, the place is an overpriced dump, getting worse every year. read more

This place looked decent from the outside. I went to the office three times, three times. The first time the manager showed up and promptly stated, "O, I'm on lunch" and didn't even give information on the place, in fact, a resident felt bad for us and provided 100% more information than management. I went two more times in person only to find there sliding door locked. I left several phone calls on there answering machine service. These people can't answer the phone or call anyone back. Never heard back from this place once, and for that they have lost my business. Total Disgrace. Do yourself a favor and forget this place, I'm sure they are failing in many other places for their residents.. read more

Mom's not a yelper so this my observation. Plus complaints I have been told from other residents. You want parking. Pay extra for it. I parked in the park and a resident told me it was a bad idea as his truck had been broken into. Not long ago, the entire staff quit? Why? Good luck getting anything fixed and what they do is the worst type of repairs I've ever seen. The main lobby elevator used to break all the time. They only started to repair it due to the attempt to get the place to full capacity. Lets see how that goes once they get full capacity, right. The front doors are always open. I guess it really doesn't matter because the people coming and going will allow the open door. The place also doesn't vet people who work for the oldest of the residents. Who is cleaning someone else's place? It should be ok, I just know in order to work on boats for my customers at the Marriott, I have to check in and have proof of insurance and be bonded. Mom can get surly at times but I still love her more than a nice boat. Ok maybe a Cabo or Hatteras. read more

I have resided at the Overture Apartments for over a year. The different Socials provided by the staff are fun and very well planned. During the Covid lock down, on several occasions, the staff provided thoughtful gifts such as flowers and candy for Mothers Day and Chips and Salsa for Cinco d mayo. Above and beyond the norm. When problems arrive in the apartments, the maintenance crew are quick and thorough. I cannot say enough about the staff, their friendliness and openness to suggestions from the residents. As you can see, I am happy here at Overture's and recommend to future residents! read more

Before you rent at Overture 55+ in San Marcos, CA be sure to ask if there is enough parking for every resident that rents there. But be ready to be lied to. Make them put it on your lease that you will never be without a parking space. If they say no, you know not to rent there or risk not having anyplace to put your car when you get home after 6 pm from work. If you ask them if there is a covered assigned carport available, (it will cost you $50) and they say 'oh sure you definitely have one if you want when you move in', get it in writing. And be ready for that costly assigned expensive carport parking space to be way across the property from your unit. BEWARE!! read more

This place is run great with new manager, Amy. She has addressed issues rapidly and handled problems professionally. The staff, Michelle and Alexander, are great in making sure events and day to day operations are handled with care and class. Check out Overture if you are looking for a place to rent. read more

This place is going to the dogs - literally. Dogs barking -- carpets are filthy with urine and who knows what else. i would not recommend this facility for many reasons. Primarily Managent. No security. No fun -- I get Covid- but, come on! read more

I moved in last November and I do like my 1 bd unit...but the drawback is the parking which was not made tansparent until the day I got my keys. On the tour I asked about the parking and all they said was there is a $60 per month addition for a "covered" parking. They said I'd be placed on a waiting list for a parking spot. It is now the end of March. I went to the office yesterday to see where I am on the list....they don't even look in the computer, but just said probably April or May. And the other thing that I found out about the parking is if 2 people live in a 1 bd then each of them are entitled to an assigned parking and of course a 2 bd gets 2 spots. Other apartments that I've lived in 1 bd gets 1 parking place and if there are 2 people in that 1 bd then one person has to park elsewhere. Sometimes I feel like a prisoner here due to I don't want to leave the unassigned parking I find cuz someone else will snatch it up and coming home after 6pm you're just out of luck. read more

I moved to a 2-bdrm apt at Overture-San Marcos in SEPT 2016. I switched to a 1-bdrm apt in SEPT 2019 overlooking our swimming pool (and now have the upgraded kitchen with the stainless steel refrigerator and stove shown in photos on our Overture-San Marcos site). I love it here and find my apt to be very peaceful! I have a bird's-eye view to watch all of the fun activities here as they occur! Our management team consists of a very special group of people, each of whom is like family to me. They have done everything possible to take care of our individual requests! This is my home, and I'm proud of it! I hope you'll come out and visit us soon! You'll love it here as much as I do! Hint: If you give Tamara in our office my name, I'll also give you a personal tour! C'mon by for a glass of wine! read more

I have had a great experience moving in and enjoying the lifestyle at Overture Greystone active seniors apartments. The staff is very responsive not only to problems but anticipating activities that enhance the Active senior lifestyle. They offer many extras including continental breakfast, a community garden, free movies, and seasonal activities. My grandkids have enjoyedSeveral holiday adventures. The latest was Easter festivities where the staff went all out and all of our children and grandchildren were made welcome. We also enjoy line dancing, Zumba,crafts and more. The dog park and landscaping renovation Have also enhanced my experience here. read more

Moved here 3 months ago, loved the neighborhood and office staff, Nila and Tamara are amazing, however the central AC/ventilation emits a horrible smell into my unit. So I've been unable to use my fan, air or heat, no ventilation. Management has attempted to resolve the issue and offered to swap my unit if the attempts to provide a healthy, clean environment was unsuccessful, however once it did not work they withdrew the offer unless I could pay an additional $800. monthly. I was just informed this week that they will now clean the vents and if the smells continues the only option they will offer is to allow me to move and waive my exit fee. I've reminded them we have a legal lease agreement, and providing me with the option of swapping units at my same lease rate or pay my moving expenses should be an option. I love this area, and can't afford another $3000. to move yet again. I am a senior and cancer survivor and both my mental and physical health is suffering, now I'm wondering if it's even safe to live here. Will see what happens with the vent cleanin but am also looking at other outside agencies for assistance. read more

We moved into the complex about a year ago and have some mixed feelings about the property. The apartments themselves are spacious and are in fairly decent shape. The location is fantastic and the tenants are some of the nicest kindest people that you will ever have the privilege of coming across. If there was a discrepancy with the property I would say that it is the R & V property management. The property manager, Jennifer is professional, seems a caring lady. Unfortunately most issues are "above her pay grade". Her leasing staff, (3-4 different perm/temp in the last year alone), her resident staff varies between mostly Friendly to VERY Rude. The current assistant LIBBY, I think is a refreshing addition to this place. Let's hope she's brave enough to stick around and hope they are not stupid enought to force her out as they have the others. Part of the issue is that this property shares their R & V Management/Maintenance team with an Adjacent Larger property, CASA VALLECITOS, and there are not quite enough qualified people to go around and get the job done RIGHT. One of their "sales" pitches is that they are about to start a RENOVATION, that worn out line has been used for years. Don't hold your breath, could prove to be fatal. In the year that we have been here it "seems" many things are being cut back (the exception being the Rent) to the detriment of the property as a whole. Most of the common area carpets have fallen into such a SAD state of disrepair and now resemble a 9th grade biology experiment. The property SHARES with CASA Vallecitos a common area housekeeper and maintenance and the building is much worse the wear because of it. The Elevators....we'll skip, that could be a chapter in itself. . There are many large common areas in the building that should be much better maintained and the idea that they are not IS NOT conducive to a good public atmosphere. The LONG Deferred maintenance issues have taken their toll and prospective residents DO take notice. The interior of the apartments ARE fairly well maintained, I am glad to say. The one glaring issue that would need to be addressed is the safety issues in the building. There are several ledges - tripping hazards throughout the property, especially in the pool/courtyard area. This is something that you would think ANY Professional Company WOULD be PRO-active in correcting, if for no other reason LIABILITY, especially in a senior community. They are OBVIOUSLY in dire need of either a construction manager or some other form of Intelligent Adult Supervision. The property is almost Begging for someone to get seriously hurt before they take the action necessary to get the property up to basic safety standards for the targeted community to live in. The pool area in particular has some serious safety/health issues that SHOULD HAVE raised management's eyebrows a LONG time ago. Here is an area where Deferred/lack of maintenance has taken its biggest toll. The landscaping is done by an - outside contractor - is probably one of the highlights of this property; it is VERY VERY well done and Professionaly Maintained. Another issue is that they raise everybody's rent 5% every year. it works out to about 50-75 dollars a month additional. With so many people on fixed income and Long term residents. I question the reason for raising peoples rents forcing some to move out and then having their apartments VACANT for 3-6 months. ONE months vacancy more than offsets a 50.00 per month rent increase. they gain 600 a year in increase but loose 1400 PER Month in vacancy. per apartment, SMART. No wonder they don't have the money to fix the elevator call buttons, or do proper maintenance. In conclusion I WOULD still live here. The location is Great, the units are Large and Spacious, EXCELLENT Residents but the common areas leave a lot to be desired. The new - "Baby Grand Piano" - was obviously a marketing ploy - EYE CANDY, unfortunately it does nothing to cover the basic housekeeping issues. The COMMON AREAS are not clean and in some cases not safe. This is definitely a DIAMOND in the Rough and overall this place is still a very GOOD place to live. . . . .IF you are willing to overlook these obvious discrepancies.

I have lived in Hacienda for two years now. Overall it is ok BUT recently they have began replacing the carpet with ULTRA LOW QUALITY carpet. I now hear EVERY footstep, cabinet door close, toilet flush, etc. from the neighbor upstairs! I had no idea how noise affects the quality of life! AVOID until management upgrades...... read more

I came to live at this apartment complex almost 7 years ago and I just love it. It's very clean and it's got a fantastic manager, Jennifer. terrific staff that takes care of any little problem you can have that day, within minutes or the following day. During the time that I have lived here many things that happened in my life and they have been very helpful throughout. When I first started here I didn't even think I could rent an apartment because my house, I had just left, ended up being a short sale and ruined my credit. They said that doesn't matter, we understand what's going on in the world regarding the credit of the times and they gave me an apartment anyway. Then after being with them for four years I retired. My retirement income was not anything like what I had before. They found me a studio apartment so I was able to survive and absolutely stay in the complex and I just love it here. There are so many things to do here. If you don't have a car they have a bus that can transport you to any of the functions take you out to get food groceries at two dinners meals they went to the fair and horse races. I think the most important part here is that the people who live here are really wonderful thing take care of everybody everyone watches out for everybody if you're sick they help you if you need any kind of assistance there all there for you.!!! read more

Hacienda Vallecitos is a wonderful place to live. I have lived here for eight years and wouldn't choose any other place to call home. Management is awesome! Above board and always friendly and courteous. Great place for active adults. The pool is heated and I swim in it daily. The Manager Jennifer is always ready and willing to help in any situation. I highly recommend living here!!! read more
