The staff does…read morenot follow DRE regulations about documenting complaints, so every time is like the first time with the office. I have been making ongoing harassment complaints about Tony Morales, the porter onsite, since 2022, and none of these complaints have been documented anywhere outside my personal file. Tony approaches my car any time he thinks no one is looking, and my car gets more damage in this parking lot than when I lived in West Oakland, or Potrero Hill. Keep all your communication with Sequoia Equities in writing. Start organizing those emails with an Index and summaries, because you will want to be organized when you file complaints with BBB, FTC, and DRE. Residents are not this company's clients; investors are. Residents have no value to the staff of this company, and they will treat you that way. Their job is the real estate and investors. The residents might as well be fertilizer. $30,000 a year in rent is not worth following DRE rules to this organization. But sure, the real estate is in the best condition it's been in for years. Another thing: Renewing your lease. They have an automated system that asks you to renew your lease without viewing the new lease, by just clicking a button in your resident portal. In California they cannot force you to sign a new lease, but three people from this organization pressured me to sign a new lease that would not have been in my best interest. By the way, they sent me this "rent renewal" the day after I complained to their staff. Bypass the drama and go straight the regulatory agencies to avoid retaliation.

I would strongly caution anyone considering living at this apartment complex. My experience here…read morewas extremely frustrating, unprofessional, and honestly felt dishonest from start to finish. The management and office staff were incredibly difficult to deal with and consistently avoided accountability. One of the biggest issues was the security deposit. They advertise it as a "refundable deposit," but then tack on a so-called "nonrefundable cleaning fee" regardless of whether you leave the apartment spotless or clean it yourself. I specifically asked THREE separate times for a copy of the rental agreement or documentation that clearly stated this policy, and they refused to provide it every single time. That alone says a lot. Maintenance issues were another nightmare. My washer and dryer were broken for THREE MONTHS, and despite multiple requests and follow-ups, management offered no urgency, no temporary solution, no compensation, and barely any communication. For an apartment complex charging the amount they do, that level of neglect is unacceptable. What bothered me even more was how they handled serious property issues. I personally have video evidence of staff painting over what appeared to be mold stains instead of properly addressing the problem. Covering up potential mold with paint instead of professionally treating it is irresponsible and concerning, especially for tenants' health and safety. Overall, the staff and management came across as disorganized, dismissive, and more focused on keeping tenants' money than actually helping residents. Communication was poor, promises were rarely followed through on, and every issue became unnecessarily difficult. I rarely leave negative reviews, but people deserve to know what they may be walking into before signing a lease here. Save yourself the stress, document EVERYTHING, and think twice before renting from this complex.

Martinez Hillside Apartments is a nice, affordable apartment option right by the Carquinez Strait…read moreRegional Shoreline. Pros: 1. Friendly management with speedy response to service requests. 2. Affordable. 3. Very quiet area. Cons: 1. This place is COVERED in stray cats, which will leave footprints all over your car. Not sure if these are strays or just neglected by their owners. 2. The street parking is limited, especially when the high school across the street is having an event, so if you are not a long-term resident with assigned parking then you're out of luck if you're not home by 5PM. I'd rent here again, but it would be nice if they had more parking and some way to control the cat population.

Mountain View House is temporary housing for families in need…read more My wife volunteered for us to cook and serve food this past Tuesday. When she first told me I wasn't extremely happy that she signed up to do it since it was on a Tuesday and if anyone reads my wife's reviews they would know that Tuesday is synonymous with Tacos. Amy, (my wife) had to figure out what we were going to serve for that Tuesday and she choose Spaghetti. I didn't realize that we weren't just going to show up and cook and serve we actually had to buy the food cook it bring it in and serve it at six exactly. We cooked the spaghetti sauce at home first and we were told to make enough food for 30 people 11 of those being adults and the rest kids. We used about 3 pounds of ground beef and a plethora of tomato sauce. It turned out great, then Amy snuck in some weird looking green stuff that I later found out to be something called Broccoli. It was still amazing. We then drove to Martinez where we finished the rest of the cooking. We also brought Garlic Bread that we stuck in the oven when we got there and a salad that Amy had already cut up a bunch of vegetables so all we had to do is toss it. The last thing that we had to to was cook the noodles so we found a giant pot and stuck three packages of noodles in it after it was boiling. Mountain View House was very clean and everyone was very friendly, from the staff who showed us around to the families that were going to enjoy the meal with us. The kitchen was also immaculate and it was very easy to navigate around and cook the rest of the meal. After we were done cooking we served the food and then grabbed plates and went out and ate with the families. Everyone was so nice and so thankful it really felt great to be able to give back to the community in such a one on one environment.

SPENDING MY FREE TIME WISELY…read more I try to fit volunteering into my schedule whenever I can. I enjoy meeting new people and helping out the community, but it can be hard to find free time with my busy life. Often it seems volunteer hours are available weekend mornings, but I enjoy this time at home since I work full-time during the week. I'm always excited to find something close to home, especially if it's mid-week during the evening! I heard about an opportunity to make dinner for homeless families at this temporary housing facility and it worked out with my schedule - I could choose Monday through Friday, and I picked Tuesday. I signed up my husband and myself and agreed to purchase enough food for the families housed here. We showed up early with most of our food precooked (which was great because they follow a strict serving time of 6pm). We only served a couple minutes after 6 and then ate with the families. It was a great experience overall. However, I can hardly afford my own groceries sometimes! I think we'd have to find someone to split the cost with before we could continue to work with this house in the future.

This review is long overdue, and I truly hope people take the time to read it…read more My husband and I moved here in December, and to this day we still pinch ourselves because of the difference living here has made in our lives. We literally look at each other every day with big smiles and say, "We love our new home." Before this, we lived in Pleasant Hill and spent a LOT of time searching for a bigger apartment that was still within a reasonable price range. It honestly felt discouraging at times--either the management was unresponsive, rude, or the places just didn't feel right. Then we found this place... and we truly couldn't believe it. First of all, Angela, the manager, is AH-MAAAZING!! --we literally call her our angel. From the very beginning, she was so warm, helpful, and easy to work with during the tour and application process. But what really makes her stand out is how much she genuinely cares--not just about the property, but about the people who live here. That kind of management is rare. And I don't say that lightly. At our previous place, we dealt with extremely poor and neglectful management--so much so that it actually put our safety at risk. And at other properties we toured, the managers were so rude that it made us think, "Is this what it would be like dealing with you regularly?" Hard pass. Living here has been the complete opposite. If you're someone who values peace and quiet, friendly neighbors who actually say hello back, a dependable maintenance team, and a manager you can truly count on--this is your place. It's a drama-free, respectful community, and that makes all the difference. I promise you, you won't regret it. OH! Btw, the apartments do look like exactly like the photos online.

Since the first day the apartment smelled like cigarettes, didnt think much of it. BUT IT CONTINUED! The downstairs guy smoked everyday , i finally obtained proof. Cameras dont lie. I have kids , I complained to the office everyday the smoke will get worse! They claim to send "maintenance" when he smokes himself on the property as well. Crazy. I received property damage from upstairs neighbors dumping water ON MY DOG and belongings. I have him on camera under the influence screaming at my wife. Filed complaint police report , nothing to be done! The process to transfer was a nightmare , zero knowledge from the manager making us spend hundreds here then few thousand there random charges she doesnt even understand herself. Im a father of three respectful others around the apartment knew us and KNOW THAT 105 is a smoker!! So if you want high electric bill from running purifiers all day paying close to 400$ a month in pg&e be my guest. They do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP. I have all the proof with the smoke. Best of luck renting here its a nightmare!!!! I have pictures and videos

A few weeks ago, Madison was transferred by the property management. Now a new person has been assigned, and while she is doing the best that she can, she's still only one person, and the position requires two people. It's not possible for one person to do the job of two. Sadly. it's affecting the caliber of this complex and our happiness about staying here.
