I feel I have found my forever home. From the start of the paperwork Ruby and Maya were so warm and welcoming. Ruby really took the time and held my hand - I instantly felt a belonging. After I moved in, I met the rest of the staff including the maintenance team. This property is very well kept and offers a lot of amenities. The staff genuinely cares. The monthly events are a way of gathering the community. Best decision I've made thus far. With gratitude, A happy resident (: read more

My family have been enjoying this apartment living! The Lark has a small community of residents and staff that's already a family to us. We love the monthly events, they hire a DJ and set up a karaoke machine, especially during Halloween and Christmas casino nights. Ruby, Maiyah, Misael, Fredo and Lourdes greet you first thing in the morning, very professional and friendly. The amenities are great too!! My kids enjoy the pool, the snacks at the front office, and the hot chocolate slash coffee machine is top tier. There's no place like The Lark in the peninsula area. We really feel at home. read more

I lived at The Lark (formerly Park20) for seven years and had a great experience overall. The location is very convenient -- it's about a 5-minute walk to the Japanese grocery store Nijiya, and close to Highway 92 with easy access to both 101 and 280, so getting around the Bay Area is simple. The recently renovated Gather Lounge on the first floor has plenty of outlets, making it a comfortable place to work or study. The property also hosts regular community events, which are a nice way to meet neighbors. Ruby, the manager, and the rest of the staff are friendly and quick to respond whenever you need assistance. If you're looking for a well-managed apartment in San Mateo with easy access to shops, freeways, and good amenities, The Lark is worth checking out. read more

I lived in The Lark apartment for a year now and I really like the community here. The management team is awesome, Ruby always responses to my request very fast. They also helped me to receive and move my package to my apartment prior to my move in. There are several other perks of The Lark: Environment: The whole area is peaceful, there is no noise around. Even with the party near the pool, I don't hear much noise when I close the window. Pool: there is a large pool and a spa pool with warm water. During the festival, we will get BBQ and celebration party near the pool. Packages: the non-amazon packages are devliered to the mail room so people don't need to worry if the packages get lost. The amazon packages will be delivered in front of your apartment. Parking: parking garage is free, and we get security gate. I never have issue with parking my car in the parking garage. Overall I really enjoy living in the Lark. I have lived in several different states and over 7 apartments. This is the best management team I have ever seen. read more

We lived at The Lark for 3 years and absolutely loved it. The community is warm, welcoming, and really well maintained. The events they host are honestly the best in the Bay Area - always fun and a great way to meet your neighbors. What really made it feel like home was Ruby. She's the kind of property manager everyone hopes for - kind, responsive, and truly cares about the residents. We only left because we relocated to Florida - otherwise, we'd still be there. Can't recommend it enough! read more

Amazing! Living at The Lark is a wonderful experience. Moving from Chicago to the Bay Area was not easy. Ruby the property manager and the entire staff made the move seamless and I felt so welcomed. It's a beautiful property, well maintained, peaceful and safe. So many great amenities as well, beautiful pool area, gym, and outdoor garden. Safety was a top priority for me. Definitely feel safe in this gated and secured community. No issues with stolen packages and secured parking area a plus. Ruby does a wonderful job with events and managing the property. Misael and Maria are always so helpful and kind. Kudos to all for making this a beautiful living experience. Highly recommend The Lark. read more

This apartment truly feels like a 5 star hotel. clean, convenient, and very well maintained But with the warmth and comfort of home. The whole place always smells fresh and inviting. The clubhouse is spacious and complete with everything you'd need for a party, from kitchenware to entertainment essentials. The yoga room is spotless and even has a mirrored screen where you can follow along with exercise videos. A special mention to the manager, Ms. Ruby! she is incredibly accommodating and warm to everyone. She makes you feel at home right away and adds such a welcoming touch to the community. Overall, this is a beautiful, modern place to live with amazing amenities and an excellent team. read more

The Lark is more than an apartment complex, it's an incredibly special Community which I'm so grateful to be a part of and lucky enough to call home. I moved here February 2015, when the building first opened, it was the best decision I ever made. Ruby and her entire team provide the highest quality customer service ALWAYS!! They have made our experience living here so much more than just renting an apartment. The social events Ruby and her amazing team host for us are instrumental in creating the bond we all feel living here and the cozy feeling of home not only in our apartments but the entire building. read more

Long overdue review! Been here since the beginning, when the name was Park20 and the staff has always been friendly and welcoming. Plenty of amenities to he be utilized such as the gym, swimming pool or just play pool table. The Lark is maintained very well and I give kudos to the manager Ruby for running the place, she is always willing and happy to help. I appreciate the safety in this place and that it is gated. My packages have been secured and trust me, there have been no issues. There are events held to know your neighbors which is great, but I usually am at work and miss out on these events, hehehe... It is a pet friendly property. If you have kids there's a daycare across the street and its very convenient. So if you want a place to call home, this would be it. read more

************************ I recently moved back to The Lark at the end of April 2024, and it feels like coming home. It's a bit more expensive than living in Berkeley (an extra $700 per month, to be exact), but being close to Ruby is priceless. Not to mention, it's lovely to be reunited with Mr. El and Maria. Ruby takes excellent care of everyone, including our pets and watches over our apartments when we're away. She even looked after my two cats when I was on an international trip for a week and my automatic feeder suddenly stopped working. I sincerely am grateful for Ruby's prompt response to the crisis. Mr. El is always super quick to handle maintenance requests, and Maria keeps everything spotless in the common areas. So much has changed since I left a couple of years ago. The apartments and common areas have been completely transformed. We now have new amenities like filtered water dispensers in the clubroom and the gym, beautiful stone countertops and bathroom flooring in the apartments, a community vegetable garden, and even a dedicated studio for stretching and dancing. But despite all these changes, the heart and soul of The Lark remains the same - the incredible team of Ruby, Mr. El, and Maria, the regular safety checks to keep us all safe, the annual bulk waste coordination, and the fantastic neighborhood get-togethers. I've also had the pleasure of meeting the new additions to The Lark Management team, Carl and Jose, who are just as friendly and helpful. All in all, being back at The Lark fills me with excitement, a sense of safety, and a deep feeling of peace. It's good to be home. read more

This is the best apartment experience I have ever had. Specifically, Ruby runs an amazing operation - fast responses to any issues, above and beyond recommendations and service. The facilities were continually improving during my stay. 100% recommends. read more

The Lark is hands down the best apartment complex I have ever lived in. I initially chose this building because of its location (ease of freeway access, close to downtown San Mateo), and amenities offered (swimming pool, 3 community areas, gym). During and after moving in, the building management, specifically Ruby, Misael, and Lourdes were beyond friendly and responsive. I genuinely think Ruby knows every tenant in the building along with every dog! She goes above and beyond in ensuring everything in the building is running smoothly and the people are happy. One factor that absolutely sets it apart is the Lark's community. Every month there is a building social - music, food, drinks; it truly brings everyone together! If you are looking to rent an apartment in San Mateo or vicinity, look no further! read more

We run a fast-growing corporate housing provider company based in Silicon Valley. When we recently had clients that needed furnished corporate housing units and requested the San Mateo area, we turned to Park 20 where Ruby is the Community Manager. From the outset, Ruby was incredibly quick, thorough and detail-oriented. We had to work directly with her to set up fully-furnished and equipped corporate housing units in time for our clients' arrivals. Typically, we have barely enough time to execute where there is almost no room for error. Ruby's move-in process is incomparable. She emailed to us a detailed set of info that no other property management company has ever provided to us. It helped us tremendously with our execution as again, there is no time to waste. I appreciate Ruby's genuine commitment to customer service. She provides to her residents the best white-glove treatment imaginable where she simply taps into a skill set that comes naturally to her. In turn, she has been able to garner rave reviews from her residents that have ushered her to the top of the property management world. Thank you for all that you do Ruby even amidst a pandemic. We appreciate you, your team, as well as the opportunity to reside at Park 20. read more

Such a wonderful community Ruby and all the great staff have been building. We lived here almost 5 years and no complaint al all. The building is very stiff and no noise at all and they organize some events regularly which help to get to know other people living here. Location is also perfect. We are sending our son to the one of the highest rated daycares which is just in front of the apartment. Thanks!! read more

The Lark - Inside park 20 - Apartments Near Me - San Mateo, California

I've lived at The Lark for four years and only recently moved to relocate out of state. I've lived at several different apartment complexes prior, and the management and maintenance at The Lark is truly unmatched! Ruby (Manager) is so thoughtful, caring, reliable and puts so much heart and soul in the work that she does! Misael (Maintenance) and Lourdes (Porter) are friendly, dependable and prompt in their actions, I have no complaints whatsoever with this place. I remember I would put in a maintenance request, and the same day, within only a few hours or less, it would be addressed and fixed! The entire complex is very clean! The amenities are great! The clubhouse is beautiful, it was newly renovated within the past year. They have monthly events with free food, drinks and fun! The location is great, it is approx 5-8 mins away from Downtown San Mateo, and the major freeways are within minutes. There is a Nijiya Market across the street that I loved to shop at. But my most favorite thing is the free water stations (Flowater); this water is top-notch, you have to try it lol. There is a coffee machine, free for all. You get your money's worth here, all in all, 10/10 would highly recommend! read more

The LARK (previously Park 20) is a fantastic community and I have had the privilege of living in 4 different apartments in this community (I move in and out of the Bay Area for work a lot) since 2017. A few cliff notes of the good, bad, and nothing ugly: 1. Very clean (especially after the renovation / update in late 2023) 2. Very quiet 3. Nice residents (no weed smokers or party animals - just normal working people) 4. Fantastic and up-to-date / clean amenities (gym, pool, whirlpool) 5. Free coffee (awesome for a coffee person like myself) 6. Free parking spot 7. Last but not least: AMAZING staff around Ruby (community manager) Besides accolades, I have nothing bad to say - this place is great and though it may not be the cheapest community in the Bay Area, for what you get, it's still a steal! Verdict: Will live here as often and as long as I possible can while in the Bay :) read more

I have been a resident since the appointment gates were open in 2015. This is great apartment complex with all the modern amenities like swimming pool gym and place for social and party gathering. The office bearers including the office manager Ruby are very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to very very knowledgeable and friendly maintenance staff. read more

Living at "The Lark" is a wonderful experience full of vibrant fellow tenants, a caring staff, and such thoughtful leadership at the helm. To that note, I must point out a major component to the success of this apartment building complex and that's due to the Property Portfolio Manager, Ms. Ruby Ramirez. She's exemplary in every essence of the word. True integrity, a big heart, genuine, immensely thoughtful, and without a doubt gifted with the ability to spot and hire great talent since she's built a remarkable team surrounding her here. Everyone here on the staff truly cares about all of the tenants having a day "Full of Win" every day. They clearly feel Joy by giving Joy and I love that feeling I get every day living here.

Moving to "The Lark" will be one of the best decisions you make in life and as we all know, life is about making good decisions in order to have wonderful outcomes. Welcome Home ! God Bless. Sincerely, Jim read more

While the amenities and events provided are lovely, the best part of this complex by far is the staff. Attentive, caring, and genuinely kind, Ruby goes above and beyond to attend to the needs of the residents. I have never, for example, had an apartment manager stop by with treats for my dog (included here) because she had missed her that day. Much affection is owed to Misael and Lourdes as well, who are beyond friendly and responsive to requests, as well as great conversation. We are sad to leave but very glad we got to meet everyone. Thank you so much for everything! read more

Great place to live! * The most caring and helpful community staff that go out of their way to help (shout-out to Ruby!) * Great location - right off the freeway, walking distance to Nijiya, 2 minute drive to Safeway * Accessible parking * Quiet community tucked away from busy street traffic * Community events - always an announcement for the next BBQ, dance, karaoke, etc. * Currently under improvement projects - making an already great community even better with newer amenities! * Nice gym, pool, game room that aren't typically crowded Would have stayed here longer if we didn't want to move to the city read more

I've lived in many apartments in my lifetime (over 15 years now) and was so happy to live at Park20 for over 4 years. It's been an amazing experience. Ruby, Misael, Lourdes, and Daniel are hands down the best management staff I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. The apartment is very quiet considering it's next to the freeway, beyond that I have literally never heard my neighbors before. Everything is built with quality materials and craftsmanship. Nothing has fallen apart during my time and if I ever did need maintenance, they'd take care of the fixes same day! Even though I lived in a 1 bedroom apartment, I found that the configuration is perfect. You get a very large kitchen and bathroom with tons of storage in your walk in closet. This is such a rare find in the bay! This place is also so clean! No musty gross complex smell. The staff are always cleaning and making sure the place is well taken care of. The staff and complex are super animal friendly. There is an amazing enclosed dog run and the staff love animals. If you have a dog, they'll soon be best friends with Ruby! On top of that, this is an amazing close knit community. There are regular appreciation events held by the staff, and even Park20 residents! The only reason I am leaving is because I was finally able to afford a bay area home, otherwise I'd still be at Park20. I am going to miss this place so much and I truely recommend staying here if you need a place to call home. read more

This should be 6 out of 5 stars! We lovvvvve the management team, maintenance team and the community there and we are lucky to have called Park 20 our home for the past 3 years. Park 20 was the best place we have lived in our entire lives, from the apartment itself, to the community, to Ruby and her staff, everything was the best! First of all, the maintenance team usually come fix anything in your apt within 24 hrs and they are polite and thorough when they come in. The porter, Maria, is friendly and is so sweet when we see her in the hallway. She does such an above and beyond job at keeping the building looking exceptional. The community manger, Ruby, is full of energy and she could brighten anyone's day when you interact with her. Everyone in this community loves Ruby and she does such a good job keeping Park 20 feeling like a family. There have been cases when other residents didn't adhere to community rules like staying quiet during late hours or have used the pool passed 10pm. Ruby has always handled the cases with professionalism and patience, we truly believe she's a godsend for Park 20, the community is what it is today all because of her! We Miss her already, especially our dog. One of the many best features in Park 20 is their enclosed dog walk area, it wraps around the building and always equipped with compostable poop bags. We were attracted to the dog walk before signing a lease with them and it continued to be useful to us as we have a small dog. Our dog enjoys the dog walk area and ALWAYS wants to stop by the office for petting and hangout time. read more

The Lark - Apartments Near Me - San Mateo, California

I've lived in Park 20 for about a year. Probably the best apartments in Peninsula overall. Reasonable pricing, always clean, incredible manage team. You fully get what you paid for. read more

We have been residents of the Lark, previously Park20, going on four years now and still love it as much as when we first moved in! The facilities are excellently maintained by kind and friendly staff (thanks Misael, Lourdes, and Buster for all you do!) whom we genuinely consider as friends. The complex's common areas (gym, community garden, pool + bbq / other outdoor spaces) have always been excellent and are now undergoing an entire revamp with new layouts/furniture and even additional amenities like a yoga room under the new management. Ruby has done a fantastic job creating and fostering a community that really feels like a home away from the childhood home you may have grown up in. The other tenants are also very kind, respectable, and generally quite, the only exception being at monthly community events where people sing their hearts out at karaoke; and we've made some very dear friends here. Highly recommend living at The Lark--if there are any vacancies ;) read more

I had the pleasure of calling Park20 my home for the past year and 8 months. Ruby, Daniel, and the rest of the Park20 staff were so wonderful and continuously kept the property so beautiful. It truly felt like coming home to a hotel everyday. The pool area, gym, clubhouse, hallways, and even the trash shoot area were immaculately clean and beautifully maintained. Any time there was an issue (which was once in a blue moon) Ruby was always just a text away and literally responded within minutes! She really cares about all her tenants and their happiness. My senior yorkie would get separation anxiety when im away for long periods and on days I was stuck at work for 9+ hours, with just one text Ruby would go up to my apartment in a heartbeat and bring Cj down with her into her office. She would even send me videos of them on walks together! He adored Ruby and receiving one of Ruby's "special treats" would be the highlight of his day. The entire Park20 team were always so friendly and always greeted and smiled at us as we passed in the halls. They work really hard to keep the property spotless and as beautiful as they did. Park20 has hands down been the best apartment complex ive stayed in as to date. Both the moving in and moving out process has also been one of the easiest and smoothest transitions. We moved out only because we needed a slightly bigger space and to be closer to my work but after having moved to this new complex for only 5 days now, we are already missing all the friendly faces and atmosphere at Park20. Also to mention, Park 20 North coast also went above and beyond with parties and events they threw for us residents!They would cater or even provide incredible home cooked dishes at these parties! They had an awesome live DJ and went all out on the decorations for the holidays--including Halloween and Valentines day! Thank you, Ruby and the Park20 team so much for the love, kindness and best living experience one could have hoped for! We look forward to calling Park20 our home again in the very near future! read more

I have lived at The Lark since the complex opened and I am a satisfied and happy tenant. The complex was recently sold and the new owners are upgrading all the amenities and open spaces. There is a new community garden, upgraded weight room and yoga room and pool, and soon to be a new clubhouse. They have monthly tenant parties with open bar and free food as well as raffles for great prizes. The complex is super convenient to Route 92 and El Camino Real as well as public transportation Caltrain and SamTrans. The manager is Ruby R. and she is an excellent top notch manager, who exceeds expectations as far as being helpful and taking care of issues. This is a very nice place to live with great amenities and great management and I would recommend living here. read more

We moved to the Bay Area this year and was looking for a temporary place to live in the Peninsula area. When we visited the Lark, I immediately fell in love with the place and was impressed with the lobby and reception area and the place itself was very inviting, safe and a nice community with friendly neighbors and staff. Very close to the Hillsdale mall and downtown San Mateo where you can find great places to dine in. It is very well maintained and clean and everything around looks new. I am very particular about cleanliness and this apartment facility delivers that. What makes this place exceptional are the people who manage it and maintains it. Their manager Ruby is doing a great job! She is very professional, makes sure every one of us is treated with her most personalized service. Always prompt in accommodating us and looking into our needs. Most of all, her warm, jolly and friendly attitude is infectious and is also one of the reasons why the staff at lark always works at their best! You will feel that every member of her staff is not only doing their jobs right, but are "happy" doing it! and it is just makes us feel even more at home. This team at the Lark is the best I have seen! Its been a pleasure living here and we are very thankful that our first experience living in the bay area was with this property! Definitely 5 star rating, 5 star customer experience, 5 star living quality and 5 star environment! Thank you! read more

THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE. Been living here since fall of last year! All I can say is it exceeded every expectation my girlfriend and I had coming into it! Ruby helped us through the process of moving into our new home last year with ease and without any sort of frustration. She made the process very efficient and stress free! The apartments here are spacious, very well insulated, can never hear the neighbors and comes with luxurious appliances. The community itself is a sight to be seen and the structure flows very nicely, huge pool area, well-maintained fitness center, beautiful designs/aesthetics, CLEAN environment, enclosed dog and walking path all around the community, massive parking and amenities are very accessible to all. Mail and packages comes in front of your door as well! We really appreciate the amount of work Ruby, Daniel and the crew put into this community day in and day out. Ruby will make sure you are a valued resident and will make you feel at HOME. She is extremely communicative, supportive and loving to our two Frenchies :) Even the maintenance staff respond within 30 minutes and get the job done very quickly. Neighbors are very helpful and considerate, friendly all throughout. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the Peninsula! Our dogs can agree to that :) read more

I have been a proud resident of THE LARK apartments since 2014 and I highly recommend this complex. Even though I had to move to Los Angeles in 2016, I knew in my heart that I would come back to this amazing place. I didn't even think about looking at other apartments because this complex has been my home. What made it even more special was Ruby, the manager. Despite a change in ownership, Ruby and her team have been consistent and reliable. We all need a sense of belonging, and Ruby provided that for me, which is why I came back. Ruby is incredibly accommodating and always goes above and beyond to help tenants, and she's very welcoming to everyone. i also appreciate their sense of urgency, which makes me feel my needs are a priority. She takes the time to get to know all of the tenants and their fur babies. Ruby and her staff truly make this place feel like home. The staff is also excellent and always willing to help out. THIS IS HOME read more

We LOVE living here! Have been residents for almost 3 years now and I'm dreading the day we have to move out. Not only are the facilities always clean and very well maintained, the people who work here are nothing short of amazing. Maintenance is always responsive, and our property manager (Ruby Ramirez) has become a dear friend of ours over the years. She treats everyone like family and spoils our furry companions to pieces. read more

Park 20 is an absolute gem of a community! I have rented a one bedroom apartment here since July 2020. Ruby and her team are extremely professional, welcoming, and totally on top of things. The building is immaculately maintained, and the facilities (gym/lounge/game room/pool) are all fantastic. I viewed MANY buildings in the area before signing my lease at Park 20, and I am so happy with my decision. The luxury and quality you get for such a reasonable rent are second to none. I highly recommend this complex. read more

My boyfriend & I (& our pup) love living here! The building is well maintained along w the gym, pool area and club house! Our apartment was well-maintained when we moved in & has had basically no issues all year. One thing I love is the reliability and kindness of the staff here. The manager Ruby is in office every day for anything you need which I find to be super important bc it makes me feel better to know if there is an issue, she is just downstairs. On top of that, she is so so sweet. She gets to know all the residents and i'll often go down just for a quick chat, and my pup loves it too bc she gets lots of cuddles & treats.The maintenance team is also really proactive with any requests. You see them around the building all the time doing different tasks, and they are so friendly. Overall its a great place to live, the managers put a lot of money and effort into events where we win prizes, eat, drink, karaoke, and get to know the residents, and its just really nice to have that social aspect! There are people of all ages living here and a very friendly atmosphere. Feel very lucky to have found this place, it really is just such a nice place to live. 10/10! read more

Park20 is the best place you can find in San Mateo Area. The stuffs and property manager Ruby are the best group of people you could ever have met.

Ruby treated my dog so nice and throws wonderful Party so that you know awesome neighbors too! I highly recommended this place. Great amenities, great apartment itself, Japanese food everyday, wonderful people! How can you ask for more read more

First of all, we were extremely privileged and honored to be the very first residents of Park 20 when they opened their doors in February, 2015. We've happily lived here for 3 years until we relocated in 2018. There's so much good to say about this place and it's hard to even know what to start with. I guess, the number one thing that we appreciated about living in Park 20 was the sense of community that management always fostered with various really neat themed events throughout a year. Those nights gave the residents a chance to really get to know each other and become real neighbors and friends. Speaking of management, this property has hands down the best team of professionals ready to help out and resolve all of your issues (big or small) right away. We lived in a few properties in the Bay before and management/leasing office in those places was a pain to deal with most of the time. Complete different picture here. Park 20 spoiled us with very caring staff and outstanding service. We will certainly miss that. This place also has a crazy amount of top notch amenities (gym, dog-walk, clubhouse, roof-deck with panoramic view of San Mateo, roof top playground, a little hidden park, bocci ball court, game room with pool table and variety of games, big TVs everywhere, free WiFi in the common areas, pool, hot tub and more!). I mean this is a real gem on the Peninsula. We've compared it to quite a few luxury apartment complexes and none of them came close (even the new Station Park Green). I believe the biggest deal breaker is the Park 20's management and maintenance teams. When we had any kinds of issues we always were able to resolve them promptly and with no hassle. They really go over and above to make your living there an absolute delight. Thank you Park 20 for the absolutely stellar 3 years!!! read more

Amazing staff and kind people in general, they make you feel comfortable and right at home! Park 20 is safe and upscale with modern amenities.

Beautiful apartment complex in San Mateo located right next to a very good daycare. The community staff is the best and they truly care about the residents. Ruby, the community manager, is amazing and really goes out of her way to make the community feel like home. Maintenance requests are handled very quickly and in a high quality manner from Misael and David. Top notch service! We highly recommend this complex to anyone looking for their next apartment read more

My family - husband, wife, teenage son, and pug - lived in Park 20 from January '19 through Aug '21 AND we loved it! The management and maintenance teams make Park 20 a home. The pet-friendly community, with very well maintained common areas, dog walks, 24 hour gym is, pool, hot tub, fire pit, built in grill, game room, kids play area, gardens, outdoor sitting areas and good neighbors all coupled with a phenomenal location make this apartment very very hard to beat - I saw none better while in the Bay. Best to the friends who remain in the community. read more

Ruby is amazing ...Daniel is amazing, Miceal and Lourdas. even my dogs have to say GOODMORNING every day!! love living here. read more

We've lived at the Lark for 4 years now (in 4 different units) and we have nothing but the best thing to say about living at this community. I am confident in saying that if it weren't for the staff (namely Ruby, Misael, and Maria), we would have moved by now. Ruby has created a family setting within the Lark. Neighbors help each other, and more importantly become friends through the series of community events hosted by Ruby. She always goes all out for these events with in house DJ, amazing homemade foods. When we first did our research on the best community in the bay area we saw lots of new apartment complexes struggle with theft issues and packages get stolen a lot, but here at the Lark our community manager Ruby always makes sure all residents packages are delivered properly. Just the other day my Dyson was delivered after hours so Ruby made sure the first thing in the morning is to deliver my package to my door to ensure safety. This goes a long way in making the residents feel secure and comfortable in his home. Misael, is truly the engine behind everything. Misael runs what I believe to be the most helpful maintenance team at any complex in the Bay Area. Not only do they come to fix any minor issues within the apartments quickly and effectively, but Misael always brings a smile and solution when he is called to solve maintenance requests. He is always considerate and personable! When we had an ant issue in the summer he presented me with solutions that would curb the ant problem and let me know the toxic substance is not safe as I work from home so I could make arrangements to leave the apartment air out as he fixed the issue etc. Lastly, when my now pregnant wife was dealing with severe dust mite allergies, Ruby and Misael made sure to take the carpet out of the unit to alleviate the issue. Maria is always diligent in organizing the common areas, cleaning the trash rooms (especially after a long weekend of trash pile-up), and making sure everything is spotless. To conclude, Ruby, Misael, and Maria are the reason we have stayed so happy and for so long at the Lark community. read more
