My partner and I lived here for three years, and would have stayed if we hadn't decided to move to…read morethe city. It was the best apartment experience we had in Redwood City. The facilities are impeccably maintained for a building that was opened in 2016. Having the property manager (yay Julie!) and facilities manager (yay Osvaldo!) live onsite makes a massive difference and it is very apparent in the quality and cleanliness of the common areas. Parking is included in the rent for a 1br, and there is secure package and bike storage. The appliances are nice; we only seldom needed to submit maintenance requests, and Osvaldo responded, and often resolved, the issues within 24 hours. Bing bang boom. There was an incident involving false fire alarms being activated multiple times across multiple weeks that has since been resolved. It was a stressful time for everyone involved but Julie did her best and at the end of the day the repairs appeared to be outside of her control. Rates for security deposit and other fees are reasonable for what they provide. I could go on and on (their tenant events, their small but mighty 24/7 gym) but that might make me miss it too much. Take an in-person tour here but keep in mind units go fast, and for good reason. Their rating is well-deserved and if I ever relocate back to the Peninsula it'd be hard to stay away. Thanks Locale, wish you all nothing but the best!

I moved into Locale in March of 2024, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions…read moreI've made. From the very beginning, Julie went above and beyond to support me through a challenging situation related to my credit never once making me feel discouraged, and always offering thoughtful solutions. The application process was smooth, and my move-in experience was even better. The maintenance team, especially Osvaldo and Valentin, are absolute gems. They're incredibly kind, professional, and quick to respond to any work orders I've submitted! truly a rare find in apartment living. Since moving in, I've renewed my lease and even transferred units to accommodate my growing family. What started as a home for just my son and me has now grown to a family of three, and Locale has been the perfect fit. The units are bright, modern, and ideal for anyone who works from home. The property itself is beautifully maintained and even charming enough to host a small elopement in the clubroom...yes, we really did that! Whether you're a single parent, a busy professional, a dog lover, or simply someone looking for a space that feels like home, Locale offers it all. It's truly worth every penny, and once you move in, I promise you won't want to move out.

Even in this short time, it was clear that the property is run with a resident-first mindset. Why we're impressed: Responsive, fair management - Work orders come through promptly, and schedules are set realistically--never any pressure to cut corners. Well-maintained units - The appliances we serviced showed routine wear, not neglect, which only happens when ownership invests in preventive care. Excellent communication - Our main contact, Remy Zarate, consistently checked that residents were comfortable with repair windows time slots and followed up afterward to ensure issues were fully resolved. From a vendor's perspective, Springline treats service partners--and therefore its residents--with respect and transparency. If you're looking for a community where management genuinely cares about keeping things running smoothly, Springline is a solid choice.

I have been living at 707 Leahy for a while and really enjoy this apartment. I highly recommend it…read moreto anyone who's looking for an apartment in the area. Great location: Based on my research, it is the only luxurious apartment around the area that is not right next to Caltrain/Highway/ El Camino Real. It is really quiet during night and on weekends. Target is right across the street. It's close to but not on El Camino Real. So you get the peaceful night as well as the easy access to El Camino Real. You can pretty much shop everything on El Camino Real: CVS, TJ, Whole Foods, Fedex, UPS, etc. Costco is also nearby. Amenities: All the appliances are brand new and top-notch. The AC is the best AC I have ever seen: made in Japan, super quiet, barely notice it exists, it does exchange air with the outside air and can be used as air filter/ fan in my opinion, def my life saver during wildfire season. It has smart home system. You can voice control almost every light in the apt via Alexa/Google Home. The lighting is so sufficient you barely need a floor lamp in my opinion. You can lock your door via Alexa as well, def pandemic friendly. Great apartment design: Built-in dining, built-in trash cans, soft-close cabinets. The laundry room is on the balcony so you can barely hear your washer/dryer.The refrigerator is placed far away from the bedroom door on the other end of the kitchen. The bedroom has 2 closets (in case you want to make it his and hers). Management and service team: The team at 707 Leahy is great. Even though every of them is extremely busy, they still went above and beyond to help me all the way they can. The manager Katrina aired my apt 2.5 weeks before my lease start date. By the time I moved in, I can barely smell anything (No one wants to smell paint at home everyday during pandemic). She made sure my apt is spotlessly clean on my move-in day by asking the cleaning guy to come in and clean the entire apt again earlier in the morning of my move-in day. The service manager Hernan helped me to carry a 55in TV from 1st floor into my apartment. When I complained the fridge was too noisy and defective over the weekend. Hernan texted me at 8am on Mon morning saying he would install a new fridge for me. And I got his text with a pic around 9am saying the new fridge was installed. I was very impressed. He also helped me to install curtain rods and filled some holes I punched by mistakes. He explained to me that the AC pipeline is hidden behind the wall, that's why I cannot punch holes there. Overall, they are all extremely helpful and friendly, made my move-in life so much easier during the pandemic! Here at 707 Leahy, I do feel I belong to a community. Whenever I need help, there's always someone there to help me! : )

LOVE. Living. At. The Marc…read more We have been living at the Marc for almost three years (and just renewed for a fourth!) and couldn't be happier here. Coming from a world of New York luxury high rises, our bar was set very high. We totally fell in love with the Marc. First off, the building's location can't be beat - just two blocks away from University Ave: you get all the action while having calm surroundings. Second, the apartments are great - spacious, well maintained and the balconies are incredible. We are on the west side and literally get amazing sunsets every night. It doesn't really matter that the building is several decades old - the apartments have been updated and Ruffino and the maintenance crew will take care of any issues. Third, amenities are terrific - pool, barbecues, gym (just renovated a few weeks ago!). Finally: the community. Hats off to Linda - master property manager - who has created an incredible community of people who want to hang out with each other! There are regular mixers at the Marc that are very well attended and our neighbors are genuinely nice and friendly people. All the above points make for a great place, but this brings it over the line as a one-in-a-million place. If you come meet Linda or Larissa to inquire about a unit and life at the Marc and if that wasn't enough to convince you, just say hi and ask around to any of the neighbors you meet up in the hallway. Everyone will be delighted to tell you how awesome it is to live here! Here's to many more great times at the Marc!

It was exciting reading the 5-star reviews and seeing photos of the beautiful apartments. We contacted SkylinePMG to inquire, and they worked with us and our move-in schedule. From that moment on we felt like family. The property managers Kay, Bruce, and Kash really care about their tenants and take amazing care of us and the property. The building maintenance crew are very quick to respond to any issues: Either a major appliance needing repair or a minor faucet adjustment, you can count on a fast response and quality work! Two-plus years later in this wonderful apartment we've called home, we have always felt taken care of and a welcome part of the community. This is a place where your neighbors say "Hello" and you have the chance to make good friends - like the members of The Cat Sitters Club, which we formed using posts on the Community Bulletin Board. We've also enjoyed the maintained Community Garden in the courtyard that was started by the property managers for the tenants. The garden has produced fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs. You get so many benefits from living here. They even installed charging stations in the parking lot for electric vehicles after they saw a need. If we weren't retiring and moving out of the country, we would never leave El Dorado. If there's an apartment available, try your best grab it before someone else does!

If you'd rather pay a premium for rent to save some peace of mind, this is not the right place you…read moreare looking for. With the similar amount of rent you'll end up paying there are better choices elsewhere. The average rating already gives a TLDR. Read on if you want more details and I'd like to share some of our perspective. We moved in since 2016 when the apartment was just built. We have finally made up our mind to move out when the lease ends. Below are all the frustrations and hassles we went through during our time here. I'll update the list as time goes on. Due to the length limit the details for some sections are omitted. Refer to the attached screenshots for the full write-up. ## Going Downstairs for Grocery & Food Delivery They very recently changed the policy to require fob access on elevators for all floors. We are working remotely at home and ordering grocery and food delivery almost on a daily basis. We used to be able to ask the carrier to leave the order at door. With the new policy change the carrier has no access to elevator and we have to go downstairs to pick up the order. It's not always feasible to do this immediately if we are in a meeting. The order would end up in a public area and risk being taken by others. There are hundreds of residents in the building and it can be frustrating to sort our order out from others. I can't imagine how things would be for those senior residents who have issues getting up and walking around very often and are relying on the delivery for their wellness. They said this is for safety reasons. I see nothing that prevents them from hiring a dedicated stuff to handle the delivery within the building while keeping things safe, other than the lack of motivation to compensate for the residents' loss of convenience. I know a couple of apartments with the same level of rent are doing it this way. Besides the inconveniences caused by this new policy, what concerns us more is the way they make changes abruptly that would potentially disrupt the living conditions of many residents without ever taking inputs from them at all. Whatever appeals to you at time of moving-in might suddenly go away with no compensation totally at their whim. ## Long Distance to Get Package There are 3 towers in the building but all packages are delivered to 1F near the leasing office. Depending on the location of the apartment, it could take up to 10 minutes one-way to retrieve the package. They use Luxer One for package delivery and set the free holding period to just 2 days. You'll get charged for $10 per day if you don't pick up your order in time. It's worth mentioning that we had 3 packages lost which were labeled as delivered to someone at leasing office. The packages never show up in Luxer One. We contacted the leasing office and it took them 1 month to get back to us saying they couldn't find the packages. ## Rent Hike & Due Date Manipulation We renewed lease right before COVID. We were paying $4800 when the similar apartments in the same building were listed $3800 on Zillow. We didn't ask for a reduced rent as it's a signed contract. We paid rent on time with no disruptions even during the pandemic. However, when the time comes for another renewal, they hiked rent to $4850 while the FMV was still around $3800. They clearly feel no appreciation for our timely payments during a hard time and see that as an opportunity to take advantage of us. We argued for a lower rent, and after a lot of going back and forth they agreed to lower the rent to $4100. While the credits go to them for agreeing to lower the rent to a more reasonable level, having to fight your way through it definitely doesn't qualify for peace of mind. They also try hard to manipulate lease ending date to push you towards renewing during peak rental season. This way they could gain more leverage for rent hike. Our current lease ends in March, the renewal offer we received quotes $4200 for 13-month but $5500 for 12-month. ## Moving Out Nightmare We changed to a larger apartment within the same building and the moving-out experience was awful. The apartment was kept in generally good conditions without any noticeable damage. We paid $500 for breaking the current lease and $170 for cleaning. We thought the transition would be smooth. However, the stuff who did the inspection was super picky and fussed over little scratches on the floor due to normal wear & tear. The person charged us $1800 for the repair and cited some law in Colorado, which is funny as this is California. We argued back and ended up paying another $200 for the damage. Things might be much nastier if we moved to a different community. We haven't done that yet but it's already a headache thinking about it. ## Bike Stolen ## Annoying Neighbor

We lived there for 3 years. When we moved in the apartment was filthy. The accumulated grease in…read moreand around the stove and in the oven was disgusting. The air filter had *never* been replaced. The hotwater had some kind of black goo in it that accumulated in the tub. The HVAC system kept breaking down to the point that we didn't have heat for a whole month one winter. The garbage chutes weren't vented properly so that the hall smelled like a landfill all the time, and given the right winds the smell would seep into the apartment. The staff are very nice (especially maintenance), but the management was atrocious and gave staff few resources to do their jobs. Management was indifferent, irresponsible, and failed to comply with basic tenant laws or even use common sense. The worst was when we moved out. They charged us for cleaning even though we left the place *much* cleaner than we found it. I have to assume that the cleaners deposited some grease and dust to bring it down to their standards of cleanliness. They also charged us to repaint the unit even though (a) there was no significant damage, and (b) according to state law a landlord is not permitted to deduct regular repainting from the security deposit if you've lived in the unit more than 2 years. When I reached out to management about this, they simply ignored me. They returned $0.17 of my $1000 deposit when we left. I'm keeping the check without depositing just to annoy them.
