We lived with urban coast for three years at north park. It has been a great experience - [[HIGHLIGHT]]Grace was a pleasure, communicative, very helpful as a property manager and quick to respond.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The maintenance team (Jesse and the other techs) were professional and always great to work with. They responded to maintenance requests quickly - they prioritize based on urgency. We didnt have a whole lot of major issues, except for some roof leaks which they took care of quickly. The maintenance team is on point, but they can get very busy since they cover a large area, so if your issue is not as urgent (electrical issue, water intrusion, plumbing issues, etc) as another tenant's, sometimes the schedule gets missed on their end and you have to follow up. Overall, I would definitely recommend living at a UCP property, Grace (PM) and Jesse's maintenance team made living in SD an easy experience from move in to move out. read more

BED BUGS IN WALLS. Run as fast as you can. I've been renting a cottage on 30th Street for the last year. My lease is up this week! [[HIGHLIGHT]]For the most part your emails, texts and phone calls will go unanswered.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking area is like up side garbage can, filthy. Homeless people sleeping and people shooting up in car port every night and day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Management company says, "Oh well".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Other cottages have had break-ins. Multiple! Management company says, "Oh well". They are building a new building next door and I'm constantly blocked from my parking spot. Management company says, "Oh well". And this week while moving out I found bed bugs crawling out of electrical socket. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It took managment company THREE days to get back to me and you know what they said."Oh well" we're not reimbursing your for all of the items thrown away or the treatment![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not one follow up question about the situation. Not one![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Run from any listing from Urban Coast Properties. They weill sweet talk you in to signing a lease and then leave you hanging! Bed bugs! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have no intention at all for even telling other residents at my location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] RUN! read more

I've had a frustrating experience with Urban Coast Property Management. When I moved into my apartment, it was not properly cleaned and even had a cracked toilet seat, which immediately made the move-in feel careless and poorly managed. On top of that, [[HIGHLIGHT]]communication has been extremely slow. Maintenance requests and questions take far too long to receive a response[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], which has been especially inconvenient while trying to live and work comfortably in the space. Overall, the lack of attention to move-in readiness and the delayed responses have made dealing with management difficult. read more

We discussed completing a tour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He was prompt to send the invite via text. He did arrive promptly at 4:15 PM and was professional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, the unit question was not the unit I was inquiring about. He took me to a different unit which they were still renovating. After we finish looking around and going to the garage, he informed me of the monthly rent which was way more than the $1895 indicated on Zillow and HotPads. We went around the back to the garage which was additional cost and that wasn't mentioned in the ad either. He did mention it was approximately $2500 per month with the added garage. There is gravel going up to where you would park your car. There is no visitor parking that I could see. The washer and dryer will be hooked up in the kitchen. The refrigerator will be covering up a portion of the kitchen window, and there is no place for a dining sit in the kitchen area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The agent did offer to inform me once unit three was available for touring, but Needless to say, I will probably pass it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Urban Coast Properties - Increase in rent - Property Management Near Me - San Diego, California

Absolutely terrible property management company. They have been a nightmare to deal with, and receiving texts from them genuinely ruins my day. Will accuse you of things that they have no basis on, will make personal attacks, will complain about literally anything people throw out in the trash, and honestly, that's as far as I will go because I am genuinely concerned about possible retaliation and doxxing from them. Just know that this is not a property management company that cares about you unless it has to do with money. Just look at the petty and defensive responses to some of the bad reviews. You can expect that same treatment when you have the misfortune of speaking to them. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]There was some miscommunication about our appointment time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We felt rushed and the agent kept looking at the time as he was double booked.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were flustered when we arrived because not only did we feel like we were running late (because we essentially weren't) but no one had advised us of the parking situation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]when we got there we had to wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the apartments were nice but if communication is an issue, not sure I would prefer not. read more

[UPDATE: This is a follow-up to our previous review to detail the final legal resolution of this matter.] If you are considering renting an apartment in San Diego with Urban Coast Properties, or signing a lease managed by property managers Phoebe Lyons and Grace Tennant, be prepared to meticulously document your move-out and defend your security deposit in court--twice. When we moved out of our Urban Coast Properties unit on El Cajon Blvd, Phoebe Lyons and Grace Tennant withheld $528 from our deposit for a full repaint, completely contradicting the documented condition of the apartment. We successfully challenged this deduction in San Diego Superior Court. Instead of returning the unlawfully withheld funds, Urban Coast escalated the matter by filing for an appeal (Trial de Novo). During this second hearing, their defense unraveled. In an attempt to justify the baseless charges and sloppy property management paperwork, Phoebe Lyons presented a message in court blaming the discrepancy on their painter not speaking "good English." The judge rejected the excuse. On May 4, 2026, the court ruled in our favor for the second time, determining the deduction was unlawful. The court ordered Urban Coast Properties Inc. and their holding company, El Cajon 2315 Investment, to pay a joint and several judgment of $647.00 to cover the deposit and court costs (Case No. 25SC04654C). Even after losing twice, management failed to pay the judgment within the mandatory 30-day window prescribed by California tenant law. Grace Tennant and the Urban Coast Properties team only surrendered the funds after the legal deadline expired, and only after we served a final demand notice stating we would have the San Diego County Sheriff execute a bank levy on their corporate accounts. If you choose to sign a lease with Urban Coast Properties: document every inch of your apartment, know your rights under the California Civil Code, and do not back down when Phoebe Lyons, Grace Tennant, or their management team try to exhaust you with legal friction. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very disappointing and poorly managed experience with this leasing office, specifically with Annabelle.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We paid a holding deposit in early March after touring with Annabelle, who told us the unit would be ready the first week of April. Based on that, we moved forward and planned accordingly. As April approached, everything became disorganized. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Communication from Annabelle was inconsistent at best -- messages were often ignored for days, and we had to follow up multiple times just to get basic answers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When she did respond, the information kept changing, and eventually we were told there was no confirmed move-in timeline at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] At the same time, the unit continued to be advertised as "available now," which directly contradicted what we were being told. It's hard not to see that as misleading when you've already taken a deposit from a tenant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We also asked to speak with someone higher up to get clearer answers, but Annabelle never facilitated that and we were never connected with anyone else.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Instead, we were left waiting with no timeline and no accountability. In the end, we were told to consider other options because they still couldn't provide any move-in date. While we did eventually get our deposit back, the entire process was unnecessarily stressful and handled very poorly. Between the lack of communication, shifting timelines, and refusal to escalate concerns, this experience felt unreliable and disorganized from start to finish. I would strongly caution anyone against relying on verbal promises here -- and absolutely do not put down a deposit without a confirmed move-in date in writing. read more

Moved from Las Vegas, NV to San Diego last August and had the pleasure to sign with Urban Coast. They were so helpful with the move-in process and always answered my questions within the same business day. For maintenance requests, I always got a response within 24-48 hours. Even on the phone, they're responsive, and I never had to wait longer than 5 minutes on hold. In particular, our main contact Grace has always been there for my partner and me throughout our whole year of leasing. We are moving and have decided to lease with another company. While we would have loved to sign another agreement with Urban Coast, we outgrew our studio apartment and wanted to upgrade to a 1bd in north county. Since they mainly lease in south county, there weren't many options that would meet our criteria. Regardless, if the situations aligned better, my partner and I would have looked into leasing with Urban Coast again! read more

Urban Coast in my experiences has been extremely professional at all levels! With our property manager Grace and Phoebe constantly looking out for the best interest of all tenants. I like it when i put in a work-order and in minutes i get a response that it will be taken care of ASAP . We tenants have millions of options these days so it's important that property managers stay on top and provide impeccable tenant service insuring the satisfaction of tenants. Providing good service and having happy tenants will allowed management to improve the buildings amenities instead of constantly focusing on unhappy tenants who are moving in and out all the time. Thank you Grace and your team for providing me the peace i need while living in my apartment. Joe Q. read more

This has been the worst property management experience I've ever encountered. From the beginning, our apartment was clearly not inspected prior to move-in: food left in the freezer(it was chocolates), broken locks, crooked cabinet doors, an oven drawer off its hinges, oven dirty, cockroach on the floor. Pictures attached. Security is virtually nonexistent. Homeless individuals regularly gained access to the JACKWILL Flats building, leaving human waste in stairwells, urinating on doors, and stealing packages/bicycles. One person repeatedly entered through the garage door that was stuck open, stealing items and attempted to cut the lock on my bike over several nights and eventually returned with an axe one afternoon to try and cut the cable for my bike lock. Despite all of us tenants raising urgent concerns, management delayed garage door repairs for weeks, claiming they were "shopping around for quotes". I called multiple times asking for updates and the day I told them there are women who live alone and are encountering homeless men in this building they said they were "thinking about hiring security". Seemed to me they had no urgency or care. The next day someone came to fix the garage and finished in like 30 minutes! Protecting tenants was never the priority! We have gotten a text during the work day saying there is a homeless man in the building. Homeless individuals regularly hangout around the building and have left vomit/trash in the flower bed. The elevator is OFTEN broken for extended periods, the garage doors frequently stay stuck open allowing anyone to walk in, and the vents in the bathroom blew out a disgusting odor. Maintenance that came by were friendly and fast, but they re-caulked the tile in the bathroom twice(because 2 months after moving in it was peeling off the tile), very poorly and after the second time I didn't even want them to come back and try again. Management is either unresponsive or dismissive unless you are inquiring about renting a new unit. I often had to "inquire about a new listing" to get on the phone with someone. Even the move-out process was disorganized, with staff providing incorrect instructions(terminating water acct.), pushing responsibility onto us as tenants, and failing to return calls. They almost never followed up with me. Urban Coast Properties operates with a shocking lack of professionalism, urgency, and accountability. Tenant safety and well-being felt like afterthoughts. I strongly advise avoiding this property management company altogether. I will say though, Annabelle T. was the one showing us properties and she was VERY nice and VERY helpful. read more

Absolutely thrilled with my experience working with Anabelle as a busy professional relocating to San Diego on a tight schedule, I had just one week to find the perfect apartment -- and Anabelle delivered beyond expectations.

She streamlined the entire process, curated a fantastic list of properties, and scheduled viewings with incredible efficiency. Her knowledge of the San Diego market is unmatched, and her professionalism made the entire experience stress-free. read more

The touring and application process was smooth, and Emi was especially responsive and helpful throughout. However, the move-in experience has been less positive. The unit wasn't fully prepared -- there was leftover trash and furniture boxes, and when the AC runs, it spreads white paint particles throughout the space. I submitted a service request for this but haven't received a response yet. Since moving in, communication has slowed. I still don't have internet or package room access despite several requests, and I wasn't given my mailbox number (I had to figure it out on my own). I'm hopeful these issues will be resolved soon, but so far, the experience hasn't been ideal compared to what I've seen with other management companies. read more

Had such a great experience with Urban Coast Properties--especially with Emi who helped me through the whole process of getting my rental. Trying to find a place can be super stressful, but everyone at the office, especially Alex, was so kind, patient, and honestly just really cool to work with. It was an "affordable" rental, so there was a little extra paperwork and back-and-forth, but they were always super responsive and never made me feel like I was being a bother. Emi was especially amazing--so friendly and helpful the whole time. Honestly, the process was way smoother than I expected, and I'm really grateful. read more

To rat proof my house, there was only foam sprayed in the holes in my walls. There was also foam sprayed outside in the holes under the house. It looks so ugly and is also going to be chewed through by the rats. Can someone come back and actually rat proof the house correctly?

Appreciation for Urban Coast Properties Team Dear Urban Coast Properties Team, I just wanted to take a moment to express our deep appreciation for the outstanding service we've received--especially from Austin, Julian, and Mark. In all our research and visits to various rental properties, we haven't come across a team as professional, transparent, and genuinely caring. From the very beginning, each of you took the time to clearly explain all the requirements, rules, and policies. You followed up thoroughly through email, phone calls, and text messages, which gave us peace of mind during a stressful time. What stood out the most was your transparency and sincerity. It's rare to find a rental company that truly seems to care for renters--without any hidden motives or fine print surprises. That kind of honesty and consistency is heartwarming and so appreciated. Thank you again for your dedication and support. We highly recommend Urban Coast Properties to anyone searching for a place to call home. Warm regards, Hannah Hailu-Beyene Terefe Beyene read more
