Wow, I just got chastised by Paz Mar management, mainly someone named Daisy because their security advised me to contact law enforcement for a noise complaint. Security actually called them first on 8/3 because they didn't answer the door for them. This has been non stop since they moved in and mgmt didn't stop it, instead they blamed me and said I called Oxnard PD first. They need to talk to their security before coming after me. I really need to move out of here, but my lease isn't up until Jan. I'm entitled to the right of peace and quiet enjoyment and that is being violated. read more

My wall has been like this for a month. Useless management. Dog shit left by inconsiderate owners, no penalties and not cleaned up in a timely manner, most of the time. Absolutely no communication. I don't want to go to the office because I'll say things..... My reply to the complex's comment.... If y'all spent as much time managing tenants problems than concocting these yelp reviews I wouldn't be pushed to the point of complaining in public. I removed a few doozie reviews for other mind blowing incidents after they got some action. No one responds to texts. They have an AI for maintenance and office communication. Who monitors it? I never get a human response. You know the problems, I gotta push for action/communication...that's all I ask.. the maintenance WORKERS are great. They do repairs to the best they can....given the limits placed on em and yes. Lots of space. Wonderful view etc.... You put up with a lot if this makes you happy read more

This place is trash. They don't keep up the property what so ever. There is poor lighting at night throughout the complex, broken security gates, broken mail boxes they refuse to fix even though they can collaborate with the post office to provide residents with secure mail boxes, flooding parking lots, lack of attention to mold in apartment units just painting over it claiming it is fixed. In general this place does not care about their residents or their safety. Stay away!! read more

Hi, my name is Neil, and I am not a paid actor (being a smart ass here) so this is an honest review of how my "experience working with the Paz Mar Maintenace team" went down. A little context is order to better understand the weight of my review and I hope your acceptance of it. For the last six years I have lived in these apartments, and to be fair this apartment complex has faced challenges as they are constantly fixing and maintaining a building older than me, and I am 53! However, what makes living here so AWESOME, is not only the space you get for what you pay for (which is a LOT OF SPACE compared to what is out there), it is their AMAZING Maintenace team that makes the issues disappear, and though magical in addressing and resolving the issue, they do not do birthday parties...I asked! So why am I writing about them and that would be a fair question to ask, since you have taken the time to read this review. The short answer is that I had three MAJOR issues all occur at once and walked up to the front office to get help, which lead me to write this review. Under new leadership at the front office, you can literally "feel" how motivated the front office pushes towards resolving the "issues," as I would describe their new management "style" as being a "kick ass attitude in fixing issues." What more do I need to say! After walking back to my apartment and settling in for the day, I get a knock on the door which I open, and standing before my open door were THREE of the PAZ MAR Maintenace (Oscar, Emilio, Alonzo) team with bags in hand. Like a swarm of locust from the bible, they address each problem as a unit quickly laying bare the issue and like the locust leaving nothing behind for the tenant to address. By the time the dust settled, and tarps wrapped up and tools put away, I was left secure in knowing my home was safe and secure in their hands. Thank you, Paz Mar management team, for hiring a great crew! Neil read more

On New Year's Day, our refrigerator went out and Paz Mar's maintenance worker, Emilio, was here within 30 minutes to solve the problem. Paz Mar maintenance men are the best. Prompt, friendly, and professional, these guys rock! So, thank you for your great service, Emilio. Brenda Davison Paz Mar Happy Resident for 7 years. read more

I stayed in a studio apartment with them for 1 year. I made several complaints for furnace which was not connected. It actually fell from the wall and never fixed. Roach infested, even after they sprayed. Constant mold and mildew coming from the ceilings. The only thing they could tell me to do is keep the windows open. When I moved out they avoided giving me my deposit back now I have to do a small claims on them. BEWARE BEFORE YOU RENT FROM THEM!!! Stress not worth it read more

!!! Warning Stay Away from this Apartment Complex!!! The Paz Apartment Complex is very nice in appearance but the office staff and management are nothing but a bunch of lying scumbags that are dishonest manipulative shysters who try to get every dollar out of their tennants to move into these apartments. Paz Mar Apartments tell their potential tennants that they only need to pay a $750 deposit, but never tell them that if their credit score is not 650 or that they actually have to pay a deposit of $3,000 or more. Do not trust their front office people they usually are very imcompetent and often lie to their future tennants by telling on the phone that what they are looking for is available. For example if you tell that you are looking for a 2 Bedroom and 2 Bath Apartment over the phone they will tell you that they have it available, but when you show up at the apartments they tell you that what you asked for is not available. Stay away from Paz Mar Apartments they don't care about tennants only the most money they can get out of people. read more

Paz Mar Apartments - Parking lot - Apartments Near Me - Oxnard, California

"Luxury apartments" Was paying $1,960 for a lopsided studio. Everything from the doors, the paint, the carpet, are all a landlord special. You WILL pay more than $300 in utilities. Why? Because the water bill from your building is shared meaning: even if you're mindful about how much water you're using, the neighbors next door to you might be trying to go swimming in their 2x4 bathtub. Gate would always be broken...they were upset people were pulling the latch to open the gate instead of walking 500ft down to the main entrance to get somewhere...so they locked it lol. All this money from the tenants...built in the 60's and yet no renovation. Oh yeah and you won't get your security deposit because they need to "clean" the carpet (they're just going to use the security deposit swap the old carpet with a new one because EVERY apartment is FULL of mold that they will do nothing about). Anyway, for $2,450 for a studio might as well live at Wagon Wheel...(they're raised the rent again ) read more

Paz Mar is absolutely and just like the name "peace by the ocean" it truly is an beautiful place to live with amazing waterfront views with wonderful amenities and are very dog friendly (they even provide poop bags all over the property) along with parking and lots of washrooms throughout the complex. The entire management team is so professional and kind and will help you in any way they can, the maintenance team is top notch and help keep the property clean and in working order at all times including any in apartment repairs. We love our team! I highly recommend living here it's definitely a hidden gem of ocean views. read more

Do not rent from pazmar, management and from office will lie right to your face, most ground level apts have mold and flood during rains, parking lot flood every time it rains and they do put pumps out but don't turn them on. Management and maintenance never follow up with requests. no parking on site if you don't have a carport, harbor boat live a boards use up all the extra parking and leave their vehicles onsite not moving for months. no real security here homeless steal clothes from laundry cause you can't lock the laundry room, laundry rooms have had non working machines for over 2 years limiting how many tenants can do laundry. For the price they charge here too many issues to tell. DO NOT RENT HERE RUN!!! read more

Paz Mar Apartments - Flooded parking lot that no one can get to their cars for days or walk through nasty standing water. - Apartments Near Me - Oxnard, California

While the washing machine issue is still under review due to parts being backordered, the machine filled with the dirty water was finally drained but still sits broken and slowly accumulating water as it's awaiting to be fixed. Management asked how they could rectify the washing machine inconvenience, in which I asked for the maintenance ticket I opened 2 months prior to be handled: replacing the dishwasher in my unit because it was rusty due to the metal rods breaking off every few cycles. After the new dishwasher was delayed, it was finally installed last week by the wonderful maintenance team quickly and efficiently. Maintenance has always been helpful when requests are actually communicated to them, and they usually resolve the issue within 24 hours. I believe most of the issues that linger on the property are due to zero communication between property managers and the community and/or their staff. I'm looking forward to finally having working washing machines for all residents in the near future, or property managers investing in newer machines that are more reliable and cleaner. read more

Management is Horrible! The place has a perfect location. The problem is the Management. I rented the apartment sight unseen due to COVID restrictions. Before I even saw the place I was stuck in a lease agreement. I expressed numerous concerns. Some were taken care of, others ignored due to common area upgrades taking priority. When I left it was because my company transferred me. I paid for the early termination of the lease, had the place professionally cleaned, only to be sent a huge bill to my new address. They re-did everything I did. Why, I'm not sure. They were unwilling to discuss or negotiate the significant charges, have now adversely affected my credit. You may like the location, but it is not worth the disappointment during and after your stay. You deposit is NOT safe, even if you professionally clean your rundown apartment. read more

Paz mar took 3 months to repair garbage disposal was broken when moved in. Stove vented directly back into kitchen making me not a ale to use stove. They lie to military memebers for breaking lease early. Causing early termination fees. Property managers are terrible don't ever know their jobs. They can never answer my questions and have to go ask their bosses. Overall the property managers have made this a very poor expirence. read more

For the amount of rent we pay all the appliances don't work plumbing is horrid employees don't have manners and my storage keeps getting broken into they only gave us one gate key and we have no access to the gate code I has to give a star otherwise it wouldn't post oh and theirs a couple of nagging Nancy's and rude neighbors read more

Although I like my actual apartment, and my neighbors, the problems with management, services, and every other thing brings the rating down to 1 star. In a period of 60 days my car was broken in to twice, and my storage was broken in to once and $1200 worth of property stolen. Nobody around me had any problems. Everyone I told said I was obviously targeted. Everyone EXCEPT management. There is supposedly a Committee for Concerns Management Team that ONLY the manager is allowed to email (convenient), who will express tenant concerns to see if the committee will allow for the tenant to be able to have lease fees waived in certain circumstances in order to move. I was told I would have an answer in 48 hours. 1 week later, no answer, but when I emailed the manager, I quickly got a, "Sorry, they said no." How convenient that there was an immediate answer when I asked again, and it was a no. Next, habitability issues. This is a gated community. Don't count on it! The gates are always broken. That's why my car and storage were also easily accessible. There are elevators. When they work. Ours was broken for 4 months, right when I had back surgery. No other access to my apartment other than 3 flights of stairs. Laundry facilities - half the washers work half of the time and they constantly raise the price per load. Parking - two bedroom apartments get 1 spot and there is very little extra parking, so good luck getting a spot even of you pay rent! Water is turned off every other day it seems because a sprinkler head was broken, or a main line was. I could continue, but you get the point. Do I recommend these apartments? H*** NO!! RUN! FAST! In the opposite direction. A good view isn't worth all of the issues this place has. It doesn't have all the vacancies for no reason, especially for waterfront living. read more

Large and spacious apartment with a beautiful harbor view. The apartment complex is meticulously landscaped and there is plenty of parking. Our neighbors have been very friendly and a pleasure to live in this beautiful location in Channel Harbor Islands with. I can't speak highly enough of Jasmine who made the leasing process pain-free and easy. She was prompt in answering all of our questions and helping us get the apartment and floor plan we wanted. Pleasure through and through. Thank you, Jasmine! The maintenance crew is super quick to respond to any maintenance needs. read more

Add Dec. 8th, 2014 - I am adding to my review since the manager would like to pretend that they care about their residents and our living situation. I understand emergency circumstances but notify us that the water will be shut at 2 pm the day before it's going to be turned off is inconsiderate and then we had no hot water for two days. After day two of no hot water, why were we not notified? I have gone in and spoken with the manager about numerous issues and they just tell you they will try and fix it but everything stays the same or just gets worse and worse. Why is there never any parking spots? I have a parking pass (which they don't check, so it doesn't even matter) but yet I come home and have to park across the street. Even though I pay for two spots. Not to mention the nasty, dirty, filthy, old mattresses, broken furniture and garbage that is back there. Where are the free weights in the gym? I have asked and spoken to the people in the office countless time and this has been a problem for three years. It seems like everytime I go to the "gym" (I wouldn't even call it a gym since there are just broken machines and missing equipment) more and more things are gone. How does this happen? If we have a security guard ( that is never around ) how does all the equipment disappear? Plus I'm pretty sure with my rent being raised every year, they should be able to get free weights. I would not recommend living here to any of my friends and if someone would have told me what this place is REALLY like, I never would have moved in. I wish this wasn't the case and it was as wonderful as the manage pretends and all the residents wishes it would be but unfortunately I'm just stating the facts. I have no personal feelings toward the management, I just feel that people should do their jobs and be honest read more

Need to write another review to give a shout out to Mikey from maintenance for doing such a great job when I had issues with my apartment. So far, all the service requests I've put in have been done within 24 hours of my message. Community has been pleasant, and it's been nice to be able to walk or take a short drive to the harbor or beach, especially with summer coming up. :) More than likely to renew my lease here. read more

Found a mushroom growing from our ceiling. Around our fireplace the ceiling had been changing color since we moved in. I called maintenance about it about 4 times and each time they came to look at it they said it would be too big of a job to fix so they just patched up the cracks in the wall around 4 times. Then a mushroom pops through one of the cracks a few months later and the main manager came in so hot and looked at me like I had a mushroom growing from my forehead and said "That's it? All you have to do is spray bleach on it" that's not all though, that's just the grossest part of living here. There's no sense in their monthly pricing even when you look at your statement. When you're on a year lease they still jack up your prices. Terrible customer service up in the front office. Really just no help in any matter unless it's a maintenance issue. They also charged us $700 in utilities to move out and no deposit return. All the employees have a different training and need a whole lesson on what their policies are and how they handle deposit returns. The only people I would give a five star to is the maintenance guys. They are always helpful and always very nice and read more

Paz Mar has grown on me, elevator was fixed. Thank you. The downside is that most of the property is pretty old; the appliances, fitness equipment, washers, gates, etc. are outdated and work on/off. For me the great location and value outweighs those negatives. I do wish they would install cameras in the parking lots, crime has gone up and I am hearing from the neighbors about car break ins, bikes and amazon packages being stolen. Overall I'm a fan. read more

This place absolutely sucks. I highly suggest you do not rent any apartment from here. Management does not return email or calls and does not assist with problems. There have been countless times my car is blocked in due to residents double parking (see photo for just one example) and I cannot get my car out in case of an emergency. Management does practically nothing and when we let them know we get no response. Water heater is shared between units and at least once a week there is no hot water in the morning or at night. The only good thing about this place is the location. It's a 10 min walk to the beach and the harbor is even closer. But it is not worth it, go rent elsewhere. read more

Paz Mar Apartments - View from the grounds - Apartments Near Me - Oxnard, California

if I could give this place negative stars I would. RUN!!! do not rent here. We have lived here for 2 1/2 years and we call it our waterfront dump. Washers and dryers hardly ever work. Our storage was broken into a week into living there. The management and maintenance are rude AF. Before we even moved in we had issues with Joanna Romero and how rude she was. The apartment was beyond filthy when we moved in. This June our ceiling crack finally gave in after being told two years ago it was fine. We moved into a different apartment and forgot to move our stuff from storage instead of management calling us to remind us they just disposed of our stuff. Told me they hold it for 14 days but is an outright lie because I had gone into the storage 9 days before i noticed it was cleaned out and Joanna told me she would check with maintenance. A week later she finally tells me our stuff was disposed of. While our apartment was being worked on, ceiling fixed, new carpet, etc, our bikes were taken off our balcony. Of course nobody knows what happened. The water is shutoff multiple times a month. It's been a complete headache to live here the past two years. Don't even get me started on the new rent payment company that they have implemented. Could not get our rent to go through using the same card we always use so we came home from vacation to a pay rent or quit notice. When our unit was done, Ana assured me that the apartment had been professionally cleaned but it had not been because again it was filthy. Save yourself some stress and headaches just look elsewhere. read more

WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! look for something else. The only good thing about this apartment complex is it's on the water and near the beach. Other than that it is falling apart. Electrical and Water get shut off weekly, it's truly amazing... The gates are always open and don't close. Homeless people wander around here, no problem. There have been crack pipes, people dumpster diving, it's a joke. 1 out of 5 of the washing machines work. Our oven doesn't work put in an order to get it fixed (a month ago), still nothing. We spend $2500+ a month for a 2 bedroom and the place is falling apart. Definitely not going to renew the lease (been here for 4 months), please read the reviews, all of the bad ones are on point. I am not a bougie person and understand things need to be fixed and all, but I regret moving here 100%. I saw a review before moving here that said, "You can put lipstick on a pig..." and I really wished I adhered to the warnings. Don't make the same mistake I did. read more

Absolutely worst management company. They still haven't paid me my deposit from a unit that I left back in July ! , it's October now. Let's start with the experience the units are old not very well maintained , our elevator was out of order every week which made it hard for my kid to go up to the third floor due to leg issues so the stairs is the only option. Neighbor on the first floor would fight with the neighbor of the second floor shouting racist insults at one another I have this on video will try to see how to upload it on here. Homeless people coming in and going through the trash bins. The pop corn ceiling was starting to fall off i reported it a week later they came to check it and said nothing they could do it's a vendor and that was it no one ever came to fix it. I would never Recommend anyone to live here. Go to the newer complexes read more

We have lived here for almost a year and a half now. We have a waterfront beautiful view, but recently we have had many problems with parking. People are constantly parking next to a row of hedges in the big parking lot, which blocks other cars from being able to leave. I have complained to the office multiple times, and sometimes they come down to eight tickets, but no one has been towed since we moved in, even though it states clearly in our lease that cars parked in spaces they shouldn't be will be towed. It is exhausting! We don't want to park in the front spots even though it is closest to our unit for fear of being blocked in and not able to get out in an emergency. I am at a loss of what else to do. We also sometimes have to park on the street because of how many cars belong to people that own boats. There are two separate people who live on a boat that have three vehicles! And one of them is a van that NEVER moves. Besides that, the units are simply not worth the price we pay. Ours is a corner so it is spacious, but it's old and crumbly. Additionally, the smoke from weed and cigarettes is overwhelming. It is never ending. I don't know how people who live here with children handle it. If you can avoid moving here, do it. It is great for my husband who works on base, but it's truly not worth the problems that we have. I attached pictures from multiple dates to show the problem. And this is just from one lot on the comp UPDATE: 9-27-19 I emailed the office a week ago and didn't get a reply, but for some reason they responded to my Yelp Review. You are NOT towing vehicles that are blocking cars. We can see the parking lot from our couch and no vehicles have been towed. Cars are parked overnight EVERY DAY and are not towed. I appreciate the meeting with the Marina, but I would like a private response to my email before a public response to my yelp review. read more

NOT JUST A PRETTY PLACE. THE TRUTH ABOUT LIVING HERE is... Okay, so they gave the buildings a facelift and it looks much better than it used to on the outside. But don't be fooled! Behind the paint lies a very old rotting structure filled with bad wiring and old decrepit plumbing, and all the problems that follow. The rental office was just remodeled which gives a great first impression, so that you may assume that the units are maintained to the same standard. They are not. I am in my second year and second unit here. Despite my best efforts to be happy in this great location, the terrible customer service and maintenance are forcing me to begin to look elsewhere. To make things worse, the management regularly lie to your face just to make you go away if you have a problem or just a simple question. Expect a different answer from each person in the office, as they won't even put in enough effort to coordinate their lies. The only exception are the constant water shutoffs without warning which are always explained as an "emergency." There would not be an emergency every month if they would just do even minimal maintenance. Minimal effort is in fact the most accurate description of the level of customer service here, that is after you sign on the dotted line. Be ready to make demands just to get the bare minimum if you decide to live here. They don't enforce the rules except for sending out an unreasonable amount of community wide notices about the rules, which you will receive at least once a week. Wasting all that paper is lazy (their M.O.) and IT JUST AIN'T WORKING PEOPLE! Especially since so many of the staff actually live in the community and violate the community policies left and right, and willy nilly! For example, they recently sent out a notice to remind everyone of pet owners' responsibilities and their stringent breed restrictions. The next day while out for a walk, I saw one of the staff come out of his apartment struggling to hold back a German Shepard that was completely out of control. I was like is this a joke?! Obviously, I have come to accept this situation as the ridiculous reality of living here and I have given up trying to complain to the office. I wish they would respond in person with the same level of professionalism and concern as they respond to yelp reviews. Sadly, they don't. And they don't respond to emails at all ever! I have never seen Jane, the person who responds to the yelp reviews. Thanks in advance for your forthcoming response, Jane! And yes, I have dealt directly with Sugheyla the manager who also gave me the run around and more "alternative facts." Then, she disappeared and could not be reached again, supposedly in meetings. There have been way too many bad experiences with the management and maintenance staff for me to list here, so instead of continuing to waste my time and effort trying get the management to do something, ANYTHING, I am just going to post pictures with captions as these things continue to happen. Pictures don't lie, and my hope is that the truth will set you free Paz Mar! Also, Yelpers deserve to see what's behind the façade. It's not so pretty. read more

THE POSITIVES: Beautiful location! Particularly if you face the water! It is fantastic to be able to walk along the peninsula in your own backyard. The apartment I rented was pretty nice and has a beautiful water view. THE NEGATIVES: Poor maintenance, inside the units and particularly outside of them. The grounds are poorly kept and things are breaking and/or broken (such as no heat in 3/4 of my unit - the office lent me a space heater). Some of the staff (Sarai) are fantastic and others, IMO, treat the residents like they are doing them a favor providing basic service. And a few have been downright rude. Good luck getting a response to a service request. All of that said, you may get something accomplished if you are willing to be louder and more rude than the management. I was not so willing and moved out early. read more

The views at Paz Mar are absolutely stunning! The apartments sit right on the Channel Island Harbor. You are able to look out at the water and see all of the birds as they sweep through!
