Lived here for ~3 years. Very pleased with Shadow Cove. On-site maintenance is super quick. Freddie has been especially helpful and personable. Freddie is a great and professional maintenance manager to have around! John is also very helpful. Turn around time has always been less than 1 business day with the quickest being ~10 minutes. Both Freddie and John make a great team. Their fixes on the appliances have always been better than the appliance's original condition or like new ! Communication with the leasing agents have also been very good with quick response time, especially with Samuel Vazquez. Clubhouse is always clean and kept in order. There never seemed to be any big miscommunication issues between different teams at Shadow Cove. One caveat would be noise from upstairs tenants at 7AM, but earplugs and both Samuel and Freddie helped communicate between me and the upstairs tenants to quiet down. read more

Very important to read all the way to the end!!!!! Avoid this place and anything under WOODMONT REAL ESTATE SERVICES!!!! Shadow cove is under that company. Now I will keep this as short as I possibly can, even though there is so much to say about this place. Read other reviews for confirmation as well. Pictures are also posted. I was a tenant at Shadow cove from Jan 2023 - May 2024. Here are some truths and things they will not tell you. NOISE. There is always loud noise. From construction to yard maintenance. There is always something. They also had to do construction on at least 3 or more units connected to my unit or are around me. Noise just does not stop here. THIN WALLS. You can hear muffled conversations from other units. Sneezing and definitely snoring as well. PARKING. You only get 1 space so don't believe them when they tell you that there will be "plenty" of parking spaces available on the street. You will find yourself walking a few blocks away from the whole complex every time. Then there's the additional walk to where your unit will be. FLOODING. I suggest checking out this place on rainy season, if possible, as it floods very bad here. Also, walk around the complex and you will see sand bags in front of some of the doors on lower level units. Even if you take the upstairs unit, there is plenty of low spots that water can accumulate throughout the complex where you have to walk through. Some have it worse where it accumulates right in front of their doors. WATER SHUT OFFS. Expect plenty of them by hours at a time. INTERIOR. Don't let the fancy look fool you. Its just a cover up. Washer/Dryer is small. Dishwasher barely works due to circuit breaker keeps popping. Kitchen sink gets clogged. Had to replace the fridge while I was there due to leaking. Washer started leaking the first weeks of moving in. Bathtub is just an insert or one big cover so you will quickly see mold growing out of seams and sealants. DEPOSIT!! They will keep your deposit and charge you cleaning and steaming fee. They will claim as if prior to moving in was clean and spotless when it was not, as you can see in the pictures provided. Then make you responsible for the cleaning fees when moving out. I have been a good and patient tenant there. I Did not disturb anyone. No noise complaint from me, even though I am always the one that gets bothered. Kept the place clean and even left the place just as clean moving out. They will still find a way to keep your deposit through a cleaning+steaming fee and an additional rent fee( which was fully paid before moving out) Definitely something wrong here. If you have read this far, just know that THERE IS A REASON WHY THIS PLACE HAS VERY BAD REVIEWS and a lot of vacant units. Just walk away and avoid the headaches. There are plenty of "better" choices all throughout Foster City/San Mateo area. Surround yourself and your life with positive people and places. Not desperate people and companies that they run. Especially those that do not know the value of customers/tenants. Spend your hard earner money somewhere else along with a peace of mind that you did not end up at shadow cove. read more

Lived there carefree for more than ten years. Beautiful green scenery, very peaceful/quiet, covered parking, everything taken care of. Great team of people on site. For years Sam was my main point of contact for anything and everything, always with a smile. And plumbing/applicances issues usually fixed/replaced in a day if anything broke, thanks Fred! Ismail joined more recently and made the move-out process as easy as could be. I already miss the place. read more

The maintenance service crew are awesome. Fred is always willing to help out on maintenance, very polite and friendly.

Been living there Jan - Oct'24 TL;DR Apartments are OK but could be better, price is fine, management is absolutely awful and you have to fight for your rights. ----- Apartments ------ - Some of units are renovated, some are not. Some appliances are quite old. I had an old dishwasher which barely was able to wash even light dirtiness, and I will tell what it takes to change it for a newer machine later in this review. - Mold is a big issue due to high moisture. It is really bad for the health, and management instructs you how to avoid it. We did our best, but still it grows. Property maintenance staff during move-in inspection just applied caulking on top of the black mold in the sink (it just masks a problem), they do not care. After that we fought with the mold ourselves - Insulation is poor at the property - In general apartments area is nice and has a beautiful waterfront - There are small community pool and BBQ area. In the autumn the pool was occupied by ducks and geese, and stood full of poop for a month or something. No one cares. Also there is a clubhouse which is actually good, and a very small gym with some basic stuff ----- Management ------ Management crew is a disaster at this property, especially Ismail Monsoor. It seems that his mission there is to build a prison with strict rules instead of just letting people have a good stay. He will come to you and restrict doing everything: play with kids on the grass, meeting people from FB Marketplace to quickly sell something, keep brooms in the patio area and so on, so on. You will get rules reminders on your email almost everyday. Moreover, he will instruct you with the kind of attitude like you are a student, and he is a big boss. Just for example: when I asked to change an old dishwasher, he refused and just told me with a "big-boss" style that I have to clean dishes better before putting them into the old crap they called a dishwasher. I used to use dishwashers for a while and never had any problems like that. Anyway Ismail refused and just said it is me who do not know how to properly use it. My wife was so angry after that so she cried and yelled in the leasing office. And boom - suddenly they agreed to buy a new dishwasher model, since anyway they change them in all the units (?). Why we had to fight for that? New dishwasher worked just fine. There were other examples, this man can be simply rude and can spoil your mood, better minimize the communication with him at all. Also carefully inspect the unit at move-in. We counted tens of issues with the unit (see some photos attached). Some of them been fixed, some were not. At move-out they kept almost all the deposit, even though we left apartments in better condition than we received them. For example, 260$ for unit cleaning with no cost breakdown, even though we cleaned everything. read more

I have been living here for many years and this property and management has just gone really bad and sour. The crime rate in this property at all time high. My brand new car was scratched. My laundry has been stolen. My laundry has been tampered with many times! My packages have been stolen, and not just by outsiders. The management themselves have taken my packages, opened them and tampered with them, without notifying me! The management simply turns a blind eye to everything and say that they do not offer security services. They basically don't care. I have also had other concerns about my safety and privacy in the apartment, but the management does not respond to your concerns unless they need something from you. Don't even consider this property. You are better off living in much better places in Foster City. [UPDATE] Dear Shadow Cove Management Team, I see that you have responded to my review. However, as mentioned in my initial review. The management is already aware of this and I always reach out to the management first and my concerns have never been addressed. The responses from the management team are only for Yelp. It does not go beyond that as the management does not care to address any of the concerns. read more

Old building with extremely poor insulation you can hear your neighbors cough LITERALLY. Old defective washer unit leaked all over our carpet upon informing management all they did was to bring a large fan to dry the water-soaked carpet which took 3 days. The heater installed is super loud and makes a bad smell. The thermostat doesn't work so if you turn it on it just keeps running no matter what temp you set it to. There is a serious parking issue. there is no guest parking at all. The adjacent street parking has a 72 hour parking rule and you get ticket after that. Very poor management. They don't care at all about any of your complaints about neighbors. They're only nice when they're trying to get you sign but after you sign the lease they show their real face. We've had issue with loud TV from neighbors at mid night never got resolved. Save yourself some money and rent somewhere else. read more

Samuel Vazquez is the worst leasing agent! So rude and lazy! Worst attitude! He insulted us as we were trying to view a home. They also post fake ads just to get you up there, then turnaround and say that offer expired! BUT the Craigslist ad is still up! Which is complete false advertisement! Do not waste your time!! Fire this man!!! read more

I had a sublet that I stayed in for 3 months and basically spent every night at my boyfriends house in SF. They tried to keep my deposit and charge me extra on top. Don't give them your forwarding address - just set up mail forwarding with USPS. I thought it was weird when the apartment manager asked for my forwarding address with a smile 'so I can send you a check!' 1) In CA, the landlord cannot pass the cost of average wear and tear onto the tenant. Shadow Cove tries to pass those costs onto the tenant. Unless you BROKE it, you don't have to pay for it. 2) The landlord is legally required to provide an ITEMIZED list of repairs and ACTUAL RECEIPT that they charge to you. Shadow Cove tried to trick me with a price list for their contractor - that's not sufficient. 2) Shadow Cove claimed they had pics of the apartment with damage. I asked for the pics, and they said they could 'only show me in person' . It's unduly burdensome and in bad faith (ie illegal) for them to require me to drive 1hr from SF to view the pics; when I told them I'd say that in court, they forwarded two pics that did not show a basis to keep my deposit. 3) I cleaned the apt thoroughly since I spent no time there at all. Shadow Cove said I needed to provide receipts from a professional cleaner to prove I cleaned it. That is NOT a legal requirement and I told them as such. After much back and forth I got my full deposit back. If they try to keep your deposit, fight them. Make sure you also send a copy of your correspondence by REGISTERED MAIL and keep all records. Below is my letter to them. THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, THIS IS JUST A LETTER I WROTE. Seek help from a tenants rights center or tenants attorney if you need additional help. read more

Hello Apartment Hunters - BEWARE DO NOT MOVE HERE! There is non stop drilling and contruction going on because they are renovating each unit as people move out. slowly. The noise is horrendous! But the joke of it all is what they are renovating, or consider to be an upgrade. Dont let the washers and dryers fool you! They are so small that the maintenence told me that I can only wash 2 pairs of pants at a time or a couple shirts and maybe a sweater. They washers are sooo tiny I wonder why they bothered to even put them there. And because they are so small they break all the time, because people are trying to put in an average load. My washer and dryer broke twice. First time I had to wait 3 WEEKS to get a washer and dryer working. My washer and dryer are broken now and I have been waiting 5 WEEKS. The whole reason I got this place was because it had a washer and dryer. And when I asked for discount off of rent the manager said "No"! You pay in full. So I dont get the full product that I signed up for, but still have to pay full price. The manager, OMG. Horrible. 2 months ago I was trying to figure out how much rent I owed. when I walked into the office she started yelling at me and telling me that figuring out how much I owe is not her problem and not to waste her time!! Here I am trying to figure out how much money to give her and she yells at me (even in front of her own staff). Crazy. This is like slum lords. read more

Great location with a nice view. Community is quiet and safe, and mostly families living here. The management is ok, though we did run into some problems, they were able to resolve it peacefully. read more

I have been living at Shadow Cove for a year and a half, and it has been a great place to live so far. There are several apartment complexes along the foster city lagoon and Shadow Cove is my favorite - it's very green and quiet, and literally, it is right next to everything - supermarket, Starbucks, restaurants, UPS...are all across the street. The staff is also great. Cara from the leasing office is probably the most welcoming person I've ever met. When we have any maintenance issues, she always makes sure they are promptly resolved. When we wanted to transfer to a bigger apartment a few weeks ago, Cara patiently showed us all the available options in the community. She was extremely helpful and because of her, our move was absolutely seamless. read more

Update: I am even happier living in the complex now that they have been smart enough to realize that the rental market is falling. They recently offered to lower our rent and we were able to get the dream number we were hoping for. There is now a ping pong net at all times and I still love love love the huge sauna rooms. The remaining cons: Foster city is a windy place to live and there is a little airplane noise during the day...but the complex can't really fix that. read more

Recently moved out. Hopefully, this information is helpful to you. I'll break down true cost to live here (cost in addition to rent) and feedbacks in details. I'll cover: - Move Out Charge - Utility - Envoriment - Apartment Itself - Club House and Pool Not going to review the laundry facility because I never used it. **************** Move Out Charge **************** Very standard per se, I didn't have much deposit returned to me. According to what the office explained to us, for a 1bed/1bath apartment (~680-700 sqft), the MINIMUM charge is about $390 (No matter how you clean up). Nothing crazy. This includes: Carpet cleaning, Charges for cleaning needed and Painting. We left the apartment in relatively good condition: 1. wiped almost everything. 2. Nothing is damaged except some blinds. 3. Some holes on the wall for hanging pictures/clock. So, expect to pay this much with your deposit when you move out. They could charge you more if the room is messy. Also, your deposit will pay for your last water bill (minol), which won't be cheap in this area. **************** Utility **************** The rent doesn't include utility, water-sewer-garbage can vary from $80+ to $90+ for a 30 day billing period in this area. PG&E and internet is up to you. **************** Environment **************** Foster City is great and often has a good weather. However, here at Shadow Coves, geese come during spring and summer time. Though adorable, they often POOP everywhere which can be very annoying. Most of the time, this place is quiet. Nevertheless, during some nights, you could hear your neighbors having a quarrel. **************** Apartment Itself **************** The renovated apartments are nice. Most units have washer and dryers in unit. **************** Club House and Pool **************** Club house is beautiful. It has a very small gym and pool tables. But they don't really allow parties here. Violating this policy by hosting a party of more than 4 people will make the office staffs very embarrassing. Pool is usually most used by the geese family during spring and summer time. **************** Reason for 3 star **************** It would've been a 4 star review as you might noticed. I took 1 star off because the office didn't really inform me about how much I should expect to pay when I move out. They would tell you "it depends", which sounds official but doesn't really answer my question. I know it depends. However, this is also understandable because that's kinda their job. I found out about the minimum I have to pay after they've already charged me. So, 1 star off for communication. Whether or not the charge is reasonable is up to personal opinions. Other than that, the office staffs are friendly and they usually handle in a very professional manner. They will always try to inform you before towing your vehicle if you parked at the wrong place. read more

Last year, I came from Chicago and right into Foster City's gem, Shadow Cove. This place doesn't need salesmen, its a deal closer on its own, Beautiful water front. Rooms are spacious. Plenty of Closet space and storages. Covered parking. Amenities, the whole shbang. My stay here was magnificent, unfortunately, I have to move to be closer to work... ..I wanted to thank (yelp) the shadow cove apt complex for making my stay a welcoming one: With all credit going to, Camillee Ferrara. She is the face of the property, she represents it extremely well. She is committed to resident satisfaction, to the max! Down to earth and she is super/beyond helpful. Camillee has helped me so much throughout my stay, going out of her way, each time to ensure my issues were addressed in a timely and professional manner. She even made my transition out of ShadowCove so smooth and pain free. What more can i ask for! Give her a promotion!!! 5 stars * * * * *!!! P.S. The exotic duck/bird species that often visit the waters, in variety, are amazing to gaze upon during the sunrise/sunset hrs!! read more

Shadow Cove - The ultimate luxury water front. My copyrights on the picture! - Apartments Near Me - Foster City, California

Lived here for 8 months, and very sad to go. Beautiful grounds, beautiful spacious apartments, great community - hard to find living spaces better than this one. Grounds are well maintained and management is responsive. Camille especially is a gem of a property manager, whenever I had any sort of issue, she sorted it out promptly and effectively, and generally was one of the warmest individuals you will ever meet. The only downside to this space is that it does not allow dogs (only reason I'm having to move out - my fiancée and her puppy are moving to the area) Would definitely recommend living here to any of my friends. read more

We were looking for a short term rental for 6-7 months and were pleasantly surprised to find that Shadow Cove offered those at a competitive price. Sam Vasquez, the leasing consultant at Shadow Cove is easily the best in his field. He is very patient and knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease with the whole renting process. Five stars for him. Shadow Cove is one of the smaller Woodmont properties and hence everything is easily accessible and creates a sense of community. We enjoyed this home away from home for the time that we were there. read more

This place is great! I've lived here for ~3 years. Pros: + The environment is awesome. The management team put a lot of effort on the maintaining environment and they did a great job! + Location is great. Right across 99 ranch supermarket and bunch of restaurants. + The staff are very friendly and helpful. Camille is so warm and nice! She helped me out several times on door lock issues and car issues. She's the best!! + Neighborhood is quiet and safe. Cons: - The only minus point is the rent has gone up way too fast. A 1B/1B apartment cost $1800/month in 2013 now costs $2650. But I guess that's the situation for all SF bay area rental homes. Overall, it's a great place to live - I'd recommend to everyone if you can afford the rent. read more

I had an appointment today with Sam Vasquez to visit one of their units. I received 2 emails confirming the appointment. I was in time and found the office closed. How unprofessional and rude! read more

No cares about your concern. A noisy place especially from the couple weeks ago when new tenants moved in and their kids play and ride the bike from moring to 8:30 pm, during weekdays and weekends with a lot of noise and scream without any attention to other people who live here. it looks new tenants think this complex is a park instead of home, and the manager's shadow cove doesn't care about other tenants who are unsatisfied with this situation.however, this is a basic right for everyone who lives here and pays rent to have a quiet place after a long and busy day read more

Great building management, great views, safe area. Clubhouse, pool and gym could use updating, but still functional and a nice amenity to have. Grounds are always well kept. Older with less amenities than the newer places, but I appreciate the location along the water and a more spacious feel. Property management is always available and very responsive. Limited parking and no in-house washer dryer, but it's definitely home to me. read more

12/03/2016 6.30 am Saturday morning, maintenance person knock the doors and said no hot water. Till Sunday 9.52 am, we did not get hot water. We keep on use water heating kettle to heat up the water. no one gave a solution yet from the property management read more

The manager at the complex is one of the worst. The manager keeps changing her mind on charges; she will make your stay here miserable. She doesn't honor her advertizing rate and the signing bonus too. Avoid this place like a plague. If you do want to live here, you have to realize that when they raise the rent, it can be 15 to 20% every time. They are not interested in having a royal long-term residence; you're just some pig for them to roast. read more

Dear Prospective Shadow Cove Tenants. This place is HELL. You will feel like you are condemned to Hell living here. Non stop drilling for several weeks that will make you feel like you are losing your mind. It Starts at 7;30 am and goes on until evening. Please be warned about non-stop construction on the property for over a year now. My wife and 2 kids been living here at Shadow Cove for 2 years. Let me tell you something. You will not get any peace and enjoyment. This complex is falling apart and for the past 1 and half years, they have made our lives a living hell. Its either renovating apartments all around us and/or doing non-stop construction in the parking lot (Tar,Drilling, & all kinds of NOISE). No compensation is ever given and they provide no options other than choosing to not renew our lease. If you don't believe me, please drive by and walk through the property in the daytime Monday to Friday and witness the HELL of noise, pollution we residents are condemned to. Hopefully this review reaches the Foster City officials and they come and check it out too. Construction stuff is left behind and after months of not caring for residents safety, they finally put up tents around the construction which they should have been doing all along. Management never comes to see what is going on during the construction and so safety procedures seem to not be followed. Maskless workers are all around us working exposing our kids and elderly to risks of Covid. Oh yes, please talk to any of the residents that you see and ask them what they think of this place. Again, you have been warned!!!!!!! This place deserves 0 or negative stars even 1 star is too good for this place. read more

Lived here for 1 year and when I moved out I was charged a lot of $$$$ for cleaning/painting and misc even though I kept apt clean and thoroughly cleaned the apt before leaving. In my opinion I would not recommend this apartment to anyone. read more

My husband and i made our big move to CA last November and were recommend by our close friends to the Shadow Cove apartments. While at the start we kept our options open to all the apartments that were available in the vicinity, we somehow kept coming back to Shadow Cove - it has a great 'homely' feel to the place, it has great views of the lagoon, is conveniently located being near the Ranch 99, Starbucks, UPS, restaurants and most importantly its right near the Bay trail! Also the apartments are nicely spaced out, so you don't feel like you're living in a cramped apartment complex, it truly feels like a home away from home. Now nearly 7 months on, my husband and I are so glad we chose to stay here. It's a conveniently located for both our work places and we are so thankful to Cara from the leasing office who has been wonderful throughout our time here. She is attentive, professional and never fails to meet you with a warm smile and a friendly hello. What more can you ask for? Highly recommend Shadow Cove apartments! read more

Pro Location is great. Con Once or twice in a week, no hot water is available in the night (usually 20:00 or later). This issue keeps happening for 6 months in 2016. So person who want to take shower everyday, better to think about it. read more

The apartment is good. But the service is bad. For 90% of the case, the people in leasing office looks nice but wouldn't provide any help. They don't know how long some glazing work will take, which was organized by them and cause really bad smell. They don't know how much you need to pay if you want to move out, at least they don't want to tell you if you don't really move out. Long time ago, camel is good. But after her left, especially now, not that good. Today when I called them to query how long the glazing work will take. The lady keep on saying "sorry I don't know", which covers my voice and than hang off my call. read more

I recently toured this property. I was really impressed because it is older but in very good condition. The grounds have really nice landscaping and in a perfect area of Foster City Close to Hwy 92 and easy access to the freeway. I really like the staff in the office, Helpful but NOT pushy. My husband and I are trying to relocate and this looks like our new home! read more

OMG YALL ! I lived in Foster City for two years (2010-2012) and I loved everything except the parking, laundry mat and the new cost of living. Rent for 2 bedroom and 2 1/2 bathroom at that time was around $1700-$1900; it now $2300+ from what I last saw ! I was in high school at the time and I'm now a full grown adult. I loved the property managers they were so professional and welcoming! I loved the pool and club house -- it was my escape from my house lol (typical teen) when I would be so irritated. The environment is literally peaceful and violence free. There are 24/7 police and security always driving by. Also across from the apartment is the shopping area which was so convenient . The Dog park is over the bridge, the gas station, elementary school, Jewish center, and the other shopping center is also walking distance but its a little far. Foster City was different to me compared to any place I've lived. What I really loved about the apartment my family and I had was the balcony and we were on the first floor. The balcony was perfect because we would have family gatherings and everybody would fit into the small space. Honestly, I plan on moving back to the same apartment as soon as I get a nice career going on. Also, lots of walking/running space.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ! read more

So, I've lived in this complex for a year now and have lived in 2 different apt homes here. When I first came a year ago, I had a 1 bdrm/1 bath with a W/D in unit. The unit was spacious and though it didn't look like it had enough cabinet/closet space, it worked well for little ol' me! BUT... yes, the dreaded 'but'... this happiness came at a cost. A cost I was no longer going to put up with so I found a roommate and moved into a 2 bd/2 bath with a W/D in unit. My experience at this unit is def different than the other unit, and here's why: As with other apt complexes in the area, somehow it made sense to the company to significantly reduce EVERY closet/cabinet space in a 2 bdrm unit compared to a 1 bdrm unit. Now, lets think about this. Very likely, if you are in a 2 bdrm unit, you aren't the only person there, and the other person who lives with you would still add even a few things that would require space. I understand that with a family, a lot of things would overlap in terms of possession, but in a roommate situation, NOTHING overlaps, hence, we each need our own spaces! Anyways, the good thing here is that the company has a 30 day guarantee where you can break the lease within the first 30 days of moving in, so needless to say, I'm moving out. I would've liked to stay here and get a 1 bdrm but at the current prices, it would be in anyone's best interest to get a roommate. Note: Since I haven't reported any prices, I did want to share how brutal it is in the peninsula: it was a toss up between getting a roommate or living in my car and getting a gym membership for showering. I did want to add just a smallest piece on the leasing office. Camille, as other reviewers have mentioned, is AMAZING. She will do whatever it takes (and within her power) to make your time here like home. I love seeing her and talking to her and quite honestly, this place would lose MANY people if she decided to move on from here.. she is THAT amazing! read more

This place and the city of Foster City advertise they are non-smoking places. That is a lie, people smoke inside the Apartments and nothing can stop them. Also there was a neighbor that made living in there scary, several nights I heard super weird noises like if somebody was practicing excorsism. To make things worse, they took 350+ dlls from my deposit for "Carpet Cleaning" and for "Cleaning Needed" when I only stayed in this place 1 month and I made sure I returned it in same conditions that I received. Overall bad experience. read more

I've lived here for 6 months. The place is beautiful, clean, and quiet. We are next to the gorgeous lagoon. The management team, especially Tracey and Camille are very nice and friendly; they make you feel at home. The maintenance crew is working hard to keep the lawn, flowers, and trees picture perfect. Moving here allows me to have my daily walk as it is only 2 blocks away from the beautiful Belmont Slough walking trail. Less than 1 mile from the dog park, 2 miles from Leo Ryan Park, great public library, senior center, youth center, and city hall. I love the convenience of the short distance to the CAL train station, 101 and 92 freeways, Hillsdale Mall is only 3 miles away. This is a perfect place for me. read more

I had a decent time at Shadow Cove Apartments. This complex and two other Cove Apartments are owned by the same owner and they rotate their managers. They did for a while and I think that caused such a disconnect that in the middle of my stay in 2008 they decided to get a permanent manager who really takes ownership of the complex. Lynn Car came in and really made the place consistent which really helped. The price was ridiculous in my mind for the size of place I got. I would have valued the place at least $200 less than what I was paying. The location is great though. It is within the uber safe neighborhood of Foster City and across from the Ranch 99. I don't shop there. I actually avoid it. But the Starbucks across the street is great for the early morning stops as well as the weekend visits since all you have to do is walk across the street. I'd say the parking situation is decent and the size of the studios are closer to 680-720 sq ft. The laundry rooms are nicely sized. The workout facility was almost non existent. One tredmill and one stair climber but they were no where near updated. If I move back to Foster City ever again, I'd consider it but it's not a shoe in as the obvious choice. read more

Manager Stacy is very rude and not reliable person. Many issues 1) broken exercise equipment , no window in this area

I toured with Cara and she was my least favorite tour of the day, I saw such friendly reviews, but was not given that same treatment. I felt as if she hadn't listened to me at all, and as if I was the last person or thing she wanted to be dealing with at the moment. Her demeanor was poor, and she seemed rather annoyed that she had to show me around the community. I could tell she was faking, whatever smile she did present. The grounds were well care and very serene. I wish I could have liked this staff more, but they just didn't seem to want me there. read more

Nice apartment and great management. Definitely recommend Carmille, she's sooooo nice! She showed us a very nice waterfront apartment and kindly explained all the pros and cons. Not pushing all. read more

I moved into Shadow Cove about 2 weeks ago and I love it. First off, both the leasing agent and the manager are very personable. The leasing agent, in particular, has been very helpful throughout my move in and settling process. I relocated from Southern California for a job and naturally I was anxious about the whole change. Camille has helped make my transition an easy one. Any issues that have come up have been dealt with right away. I have lived in many different apartments over the years b/c of my training and I have never met a leasing consultant who is so happy to help and make sure the needs of the residents are completely addressed. As far as the property goes, it is in a great location. I'm right near the water so I can get a kayak and launch not far from my apartment door! Plus, there is a running/walking/biking trail within walking distance from the apartments! There are no problems accessing different stores and eateries as well. It's a perfect location if you want to be close to the city but also close to the Palo Alto area. read more

We went to shadow cove to look for the apartment on the lake view and we meet the Camille Ferrara the Leasing consultant over there. She is kind of awesome that she is so patience to answer all our questions and we had a great tour to couple of apartments over there. I like the apartment .
