The interior halls are made of stone, which means zero cell phone reception until you're inside a unit, or by a window (there aren't many). Some units have huge balconies, which would be awesome if the water wasn't blocked by office buildings that likely have been there long before this fortress. The security is only there until 11pm so after that its residents and their guests only. There's a disconcerting surround sound volume of traffic swishing past on the freeway just around the corner. Easy to get in and out of the area by car. Commuting? Forget it. There's a shuttle but I doubt it runs often. I can say it was nice laying on the lobby chaise lounge as I waited for my cab. There's that.

It's managed, maybe even owned by The Related Companies, a National Property Management company, and they do a very good job in most ways. My chief complaint, and I don't even know if a solution is possible, is the disrespect some tenants how for these brand new and beautiful units. Like all areas of San Francisco, parking is scarce and expensive, and Crescent Cove consists of approximately 275 apartment units and perhaps 175 outdoor parking spaces in a new neighborhood that has almost NO street parking within walking distance. Strange as it may seem, the majority of my fellow subsidized tenants seem to have more than one car so the parking situation is always stressful. The whole complex is beautifully landscaped and maintained, featuring such great amenities as a gym with a large flat screen to use while working out, a business center for tenants with three new computers and a printer, a game area with shuffleboard, ping pong and a couple other games, and an amazing community room with a complete modern kitchen, fireplace, fine furniture, a large flat screen and a beautiful gas barbecue. There are lawns, palm tree's, flowering plants and many tree's of all shapes and sizes and a gardening company is here regularly to maintain all the garden areas. There is even a vegetable garden that tenants can use to grow their own fresh produce. The neighborhood is Mission Bay and is brand new and growing very fast but a community is developing that is vibrant, diverse and filled with all the services and facilities every neighborhood requires to be successful. There is a new library, dog park, kayak rental facility, basketball and tennis courts, hiking trails and a new Safeway is within two blocks along with dozens of restaurants, coffee joints, cleaners, health facilities, the World Champion San Francisco Giant's as well as a new hospital being built by UCSF and plenty of research and development in medical and technology markets. A really great place to live with wonderful management and a staff that can be seen taking care of the whole complex every day of the week.

OH MY FREAKIN' GOODNESS...it was beautiful. It was a corner unit and pretty much from every room you can see a great view of SOMA, the Bay Bridge, the ball park and down Mission street. We both just sat by the window drinking our wine just somewhat mesmerized by the view at night. It was awesome. As far as the interior was concerned, it was pretty spacious and super modern. In the master bedroom, there's a huge walk-in closet and spacious bathroom with a sunken tub. The second bedroom was slightly smaller but still big by sf standards. Did I mention all the rooms had a view? The kitchen had a large granite counter and stainless steel appliances. My friend doesn't cook much so unfortunately he won't be making much use of it....(hint hint..i can cook!) He got the place because it's just like living in a hotel with all the amenities (housekeeping, room service, concierge, gym, spa, etc..) but all of his stuff was there and he can do what he wanted with it. I asked him if I can live in his closet...

Even during the long years of the pandemic, when downtown San Francisco emptied out, I felt safe and protected with YBC health protocols routinely enforced. Though the YBC studios are small, they are efficient and adaptable to a private, self-sufficient life style. Fortunate to have a quieter, inner apartment facing the courtyard and garage, I was an eyewitness to the historic changes in downtown San Francisco as it hollowed out and is now returning to life, 2019-2024.

My review is based on my experience living here (which was DIRE) from Nov '12 till Aug 2013 - I've…read moresince moved out of this place. WARNING: These SRO Micro 'Units/Apartments' are HORRIBLE. Im terribly embarrassed to have been a tenant here once but I am writing this review not necessarily to slam these SRO's but to try and be helpful & useful by warning people about this Building! First off, they are TINY TINY. 175 - 200 Square Feet Small. They are Micro Apartments. Absolutely DISGUSTING for San Francisco to encourage/permit Single people to Live in. Rent is around $875 and you have to meet low income requirements to qualify. Im not sure about the details or if a section of the building is reserved for Section 8, Handicapped, People on Welfare/SSI/SSDI but the Location is Absolutely Dodgy... surrounded by Liquor Stores, A NOISY Freeway, Construction, Hazards, Dangerous Alleys, and Drug Addicts & Dealers are all over this place and the surroundings despite being 'conveniently' located in SOMA across from Whole Foods, Escape from NY Pizza, and close to Caltrain, Safeway, and the Giants Stadium. Each Units has ONE sink that you use for cooking and washing up. Tile is artificial Plastic flooring & there is carpet in the 'Living' space. The Unit I rented was INFESTED with Bed Bugs (Which do not Discriminate) Bed Bugs are a HUGE PROBLEM in this building; and had taken over & the carpet that takes up most of the building just adding to the infestation. The carpeting is the absolute worst, & brown in colour. There are bathrooms in each unit with a shower and toilet & they are painted gray/darkest blue & are dark & scary, not to mention incredibly slippery & accident prone. The 'perks' of living here are the Trash Rooms & Laundry Rooms on Each Floor. There is a patio on the roof with a view of the freeway and all the industrial construction. The second floor has a room with mail boxes, vending machines & a pool table, 'library' & 'gym' & there is Security of course around all night, though they are VERY busy attending to the many problems this building has. Free cable is included but you have to provide your own TV. There is a big fridge/freezer in each micro unit, metal burners, a few painted wooden shelves, no space for even a table. Everything is CHEAP. The rooms are secure and you access each Unit with a Hotel style Card/Key which is a bit unusual. The tenants that rent here are all supposed to be single, as the tiny micro units couldnt possibly fit more than one person & everyone here has 'Low Income' although I saw some families crammed in to Single Units. A lot of bad activities have occurred in this building - drug deals, crimes, overdoses, deaths, horrible fights, scary interventions, & this building was often horribly unpleasant, loud, & noisy. Be warned, The City of SF ought to intervene & put an end to these kind of establishments for people to have to live in. They're disgusting. I hated living here but I thought I had no other option during that time I was a tenant & it was an absolute blessing in disguise that I moved. I literally left everything I owned behind & am trying to forget that I lived here. There are no good memories associated with this dreadful awful horrible place & I feel sad, ashamed, & embarrased for having lived here. If you do decide to consider YBC, please take this review in to consideration, but regardless, do go by & see with your own eyes by all means. Yerba Buena Commons often advertises its micro units for rent on Craigslist. Also do a bit of research on the building/Micro/SRO Apartments on google.

DO NOT MOVE IN HERE! This apartment has been a nightmare from the beginning and we're learning of…read morethe ongoing safety issues in this building from residents that were not disclosed during move-in. - The building has an ongoing fire alarm issue which the management has failed to respond to for over a month. It goes off every night around 11pm disrupting the sleep and all the residents have become sick of it and discussing a collective action. Even the fire department said the building has failed to comply with their notices to get it replaced for years!!! In case of a real emergency, no one is gonna know because of these false alarms and this is the biggest safety issue - Had the worst possible move-in experience here. The leasing manager ghosted us after we paid and the replacement was someone who was managing remotely from San Diego. We were promised several things like the really old tiles in the apt that were going to be changed, but the new manager denied upfront. The condition of the house during move-in was poor. Windows were filthy dirty, the blinds were missing/broken and the house wasn't cleaned properly (we found some toy of previous tenant in the bathroom) and the management failed to appropriately respond to these issues. Their property manager told they'd get us sticky tiles and change the blinds because the light at night is too bright inside the bedroom, but they simply went back on their word. - There is no on-site management or security so no one cares about any issues in the building - The building constantly faces maintenance issues, the elevator of our building has been broken for half of the time we've lived here. The garage door was stuck for days and we couldn't take the car out because no one responds on weekends even for emergencies. Even after that, their solution was to leave garage door wide open for days until it was repaired which was a big safety issue. - Common areas are filthy and almost never get cleaned, we've seen dog pee and dustbins full several times for several days and you can't bear the smell of the trash room because it's never cleaned. - The amenities are a joke - they'll tell you they have this and that but nothing is ever maintained. All we saw after move-in was a broken foosball table, non-working printer and non-working tv in lounge area. When we raised complaint, they simply removed everything instead of fixing it lol - Packages are poorly managed and I've lost a package. No delivery provider uses the fancy safe system they'll show you during tour. - The utilities cost is exorbitant compared to what I've paid in luxury buildings in prime areas of SF. In short, this is far from a luxury building and needs serious amount of work and an onsite team to get it working right. It has also come to light that their fire alarm system, water sprinkler system and backup generator have not been operational for several years and there are open complains with SF City Attorney against this building. Stay away from here!

I have been living here for the past 2 years. Chantel appeared to be nice when I first encountered…read moreher. She even helped me get the place to the fact that I do have a housing voucher. Alot of people have negative views on individuals with section 8. So, I was very grateful for her at the time. I even bought her a gift because I WAS SO GRATFUL FOR HER. WHEN HER MOTHER PASSED, I EVEN SENT HER A GIFT TO LIFT HER SPIRTS. I don't even recall if she said Thank You. She is never in the office or rarely answers the phone. The problems started with my car being broken into. She did not reply to any emails. She didn't even want to acknowledge that my car was broken into. I had to call and ask her about updates. She acted like reviewing cameras is so hard. I worked security for a long time in college. It takes two mins. She never wants trace of the building's wrong doings (is what I came to the conclusion of). She likes to verbalize certain situations but won't reply back to emails. That indicates to me she wants no record of the things that take place in the building. I pay 150 per month for parking. When the break in happen, she told me security did everything they could, and I will not get a discount on the monthly bill due to it not being the buildings fault. I understood because at the end of the day security can't be everywhere. My thing is don't pretend nothing happens in this building, if it is. That's what she like to do. She will be quick to say, "oh we never have a break in", we never have this or that", "that never happened here in this community " blah blah. Multiple of my packages have been stolen. So don't tell me something is not happening when I see it is. I see random people walk in and out of that building all the time. Which ok I still didn't have a problem; she is doing her shitty ass job. The problems really started when the mold spread in my unit. I discovered mold on 02/22/23. I sent Chantel an email about it. My unit did receive "remediation". Respectly, "remediation" was NEVER done. I watched as those contractors PAINTED OVER THE MOLD. I Digress. Recently the mold appeared back and WORSE. To a point where my son and I were consistently getting sick, and I am having migraines. I told her and again, in ( her passive aggressive nature) to me she made it seem like it's no big deal. She told me it wouldn't be an overnight fix. She did say " Oh you shouldn't be living like this" but guess what ?? I still am Come to find out 45% of that building has mold. DUE to THEM NOT PUTTING the correct windows when they were building it. The company is aware of this (Pacifica real estate). They are also aware of the elevators being constantly down. They already received a complaint about the elevators. The city of SF gave them a warning or whatever to fix it. They posted it and she took it down. It was also a incident, with my sister coming to my house before. Chantel treated my sister so badly. There were also incidents with my 8-year-old son, who said she yelled at him. Due to the building NOT BEING CHILDREN FRIENDLY. Which is crazy because when I first move there. The whole 4th floor was occupied, and I would hear and see kids playing soccer. DO NOT MOVE HERE. They may look good. They even maybe be spacious for San Francisco, but sometimes what glitters is not gold. Chantel if you read this, I wish you nothing but the best. I hope you start to form better morals and values. And start to be more forthcoming with people about that place. Even if it's your job we all have a person in our heads telling us if something is wrong or right. You come off very high-handedness and lordliness. You act like you're doing people a favor, when YOUR COMPANY IS STILL GETTING PAID ANYWAY. HUMBLE YOURSELF. PS Jackie(the Maintenace guy) is so sweet. He is doing the best he can. I appreciate him very much.

We'd done a lot of research on where to live beforehand, and KH has a lot of good history behind it. Living Space: In the 1 bedroom unit, this is a perfect place for 1 or 2 people. The kitchen is large and the living room has enough space for multiple setup options. It's an easy space to grow into and feel comfortable. This place, although it may not be the most updated, is beautifully maintained. Amenities: There isn't a gym or anything quite like that, but the grounds and location make up for it. It's less than a mile walk to Golden Gate Park, public transit is just a few blocks away, and there's a lot of good restaurants and bars within walking distance. The view, depending where your building is, can be INCREDIBLE. Also worth mentioning - we have a dog. There are a lot of dogs in this complex. Everyone cleans up after themselves, the common pet areas are really nice, and there's outdoor space behind the buildings if you're comfortable off-leash. Management: This is one of the best run apartments I've ever lived in. Maintenance is taken care of promptly (and done right the first time). Management is fair and understanding. The pricing is on point. Katerina, the property manager, is fantastic and always available. I miss living here for the management alone. I want to give a special shoutout to the grounds crew. They work incredibly hard basically every day, and they were always so friendly. The gardening is incredible, and my dog absolutely fell in love with one of the guys who kept the parking spaces clean. I have literally NOTHING bad to say about living here.
