I was a former resident of El Dorado apartments in Belmont and throughly enjoyed my time living…read morethere. The location is fantastic as it right next to the Carlmont Plaza, and specifically the specialty grocery store, Lunardi's. The management was extremely accommodating to my every need. I just can't say enough positive things about the overall experience.

Before moving to California, we used Google Earth to scout locations and looked up reviews on Yelp…read more We're so happy this method brought us to El Dorado Apartments in Belmont. 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!

Very disappointing experience. I scheduled a tour and was clearly told over the phone that someone…read morewould be present to show us the apartment and that I would be able to ask questions during the tour. However, when we arrived, they tried to send us on a self-guided tour, claiming that this was my request -- which is simply not true. I did have questions, as discussed in advance, but there was no one available to help. Instead of acknowledging the mistake or trying to resolve the situation, the staff chose to blame me and offered no real help. This level of miscommunication and lack of accountability is frustrating and unprofessional. I would not recommend based on this experience.

We stayed at Trestle on a short term lease while doing renovations. The property is well kept and…read morethe staff is pleasant. It is a good location. They have a few nice amenities, but we did not find much use for them. I would not recommend them for a few reasons: - Poor Onboarding Experience: I had to fill out a mountain of paperwork online using a very flaky website that did not make it clear what documents were needed or completed. And they make it sound like if you make a mistake they will not let you move in. - Noise: Building 1 is in front of a busy bus stop so you will hear beeping from the bus at all hours. There are also cars honking constantly when people make U turns at the nearby intersection. In the other hand there is no train noise even though it is adjacent to Caltrain. - Safety: The visibility of traffic when exiting the parking lot is very poor due to cars parked along El Camino right up to the exit. This makes leaving the complex very dangerous since you cannot see oncoming traffic on a busy road. The city repainted the curbs due to complaints, but on the wrong side of the exit which did nothing. It is a minor thing but the gates to the parking were frequently broken and the front doors were not very secure due to frequent deliveries and the doors being propped. - Mediocre Quality: The finishes in the apartment were cheap. There was existing water damage on the paint when we moved in. The appliances were a bit flaky. - Overpriced: We were paying a premium due to the short term lease and having a pet. We accepted that and those were the main reasons for choosing Trestle. However two issues came up that lowered our opinion of the company. First, when we needed to extend our lease by a month they offered a rate that was almost 2x so we had to find someplace else to stay. That was unreasonable given we were already paying an elevated cost and it cost nothing for them to extend our lease. Second, we cleaned our unit thoroughly before moving out and accepted we would pay something for the normal wear on the walls where furniture scratched the paint. Instead we got a large bill for full cleaning and full repaint.

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.

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.

But hey, it's free coffee so I can't complain. The cardboard / trash area is clean as well! Overall, my experience has been great and I hope they continue the great customer service!

I've lived here, at Sofi Belmont Glen, for 3 years and proud to call it "home"…read more My unit is large, quiet, and surrounded by trees... I've even seen deer! If I've ever needed maintenance, I know their response will be taken care of quickly and professionally, The complex grounds are always beautifully maintained. The gym and amenities (pool, cabana-style chairs, bbq, and fire pit area) are always clean and well maintained...everyone can just enjoy using them. My friends and family can't say enough about this place. What's unique about the design of the complex is that it's thoughtfully designed with its tenants' comfort and enjoyment in mind. The important key to all of this lies directly with the Property Manager, Charlie. I can't say enough about him. He's professional, knowledgeable, and takes the time to get to know his tenants. He not only successfully manages everything, he anticipates and tailors things to make each individual feel this is home as well as a community. He exemplifies what a property manager should be. All of this is why I've stayed here as long as I have... and I'm extremely picky. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a "home" not just an apartment.

The office staff and maintenance are very friendly. They even accept packages for you if you are at work and keep them in the office till you can pick them up. The location is great for me and the hubby as I work in SF and he works in the South Bay. I love San Mateo itself and being here you can get to all parts without driving on 101. I can even walk to the farmer's market at CSM on Weds or Sat or to Piazza/Safeway for groceries. We are lucky enough to have an end apartment on the third floor with a great view of the bay and the San Mateo Bridge. On clear days we can see the East Bay. Fireworks on the 4th were fun to watch. As mentioned, there is a pool, sauna (never used it though) small weight room, extra storage and covered gated parking. We originally had a 1 bedroom and when our family expanded we were able to move to a 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath over 1000 sq ft. There are lots of closets which I of course have filled.

The staff here are amazing! I had some questions and spoke with Will the Community Manager. He took…read morethe time to answer all of my questions. I could tell he was very busy but he still took the time to expand on some of his answers that I still had questions about. He didn't hurry me or try to rush me out. He is really kind and polite. He's really done a great job since he's been here. Galina the leasing agent is the one who gave me the tour and helped me with all of the paperwork. Every time I've gone into the office she always helps me out and if she can't she gets the person who can. This is a nice sized community and she sees so many people daily and every time I see her in the office or we pass outside she always greets me by my name. I wouldn't expect her to remember my name but she does and it's a nice personal touch. The maintenance crew David and Fidel are the absolute best. They are fast to respond whether it's a big or little problem. They always have a smile when they come in. They do great work and fix it right the first time. The apartments are spacious and get great natural light. Plus there is plenty of storage space. Each building has a laundry room with nice machines and the price to wash and dry is good. The price and the machines are so much better than the laundromat. The hallways are kept clean. They did landscaping improvements and there are nice places to sit outside. The 2 pools are wonderful in the summer. I looked at a lot of apartments when I was moving and I'm so happy I chose to live here. Nice apartments and amenities and the staff are top notch.
