Resident 899360

Verified Resident 2020 - 2024

Maintenance crew is great and respond quickly. The hallway carpets are filthy with dog urine and other stains. The landscape crew do not rake/blow leaves from the areas between buildings, consequently these areas have become a breeding ground for mosquitos and vermin. The parking areas have mounds of dead leaves that management refuses to remedy. This is a slip and fall hazard which for a senior community is very dangerous. Management in our office is difficult to get on the phone and messages are not returned. Our buildings are 55 and older by charter. Management is renting to multigenerational tenants under the guise of elder care. Many of these are in their 20s and 30s. They take up parking spots meant for seniors in the complex. Since Greystar stickers are no longer assigned to tenants and their cars, anyone can use the reserved spots which makes it difficult for senior tenants to find spots to park. These are complaints from tenants who are afraid to talk to management for fear of reprisal and not just the ramblings of malcontent tenants looking to vent. The last time the leaves were removed from the reserved parking area was… See More>

    So far so good. It will be nice when they get a manager again. It would also be nice if the elevator floor and some other carpets were cleaned to be up to the cleanliness standards in the rest of the building

      Great times here, day to day. When I have issues, I always get the feeling that management is doing us a favor. Lots of management turn over too. Hard to establish any sort of “friendship� with them.

        I’ve lived here a year. It’s a great place. Courteous, professional, friendly managerial staff, outstanding, efficient maintenance group. Respond to request quickly and complete tasks in one visit. Parking sucks but I finally got a designated parking so no longer a problem for me. Beautiful grounds. Great laundry facility! San Marcos seems to be an excellent community with various services nearby. I would recommend this complex!!… See More>

          Maintenance staff is just amazing; they do a great job, every single time. No matter what the issue, they either repair it promptly or get someone in to complete the work. They're always polite, friendly, efficient and I always feel comfortable having them in my home. Carlos and Bill are just the best!

            I have enjoyed living here for the past year & 1/2. My neighbors are friendly, I enjoy the art class and feel safe here. What could be improved is someone to answer my calls in the office - or return my calls. It’s been hard to reach someone at times.… See More>

                  Used to be amazing. Now rent is going up way too fast. Community events are rare. Love my apartment and neighbors. Make us whole again. Buy a small bus to take residents on short excursions. Keep the office open and welcoming 9-6. Listen to your residents!

                    The apartments are well maintained. I like the fact that I do not have to go outside to dump trash or get my mail. The office staff is responsive. Rents are high, but that is the same all over the county so it is not peculiar to Overture. It is imperative that people are advised when the lower rent apartments are available.

                      Overall a nice place to live, but disappointing in how certain services have disappeared. The dog park is now ignored, was once a nice place for socializing. We no longer have decent community breakfasts or happy hours (and fewer). No food trucks, no ice cream truck event, etc.

                        Pleasant and quiet. Nice clean gym and pool. Current library and Internet cafe. Fun community activities. We appreciate the feeling of security and the prompt response to maintenance requests. Parking is the only problem.

                          Again, Carlos and Bill were very kind and did a great job. They were able to finish the job before my operation, as promised. Michelle Martin the Asst. Manager was argumentative, rude, and dismissive. I do not know why she is allowed to deal with people.

                                Overall experience is ok....but the wait for a covered parking space took 8 months which it was never disclosed to me on the tour that there were not enough parking spaces for each apartment. Had I known that I might have looked elsewhere to move.

                                  For the price, it is descent. Somethings can be improved and some greatly improved but I do not know how much influence the local team has to execute decisions without corporate approval, or what the budgets allow.

                                    I'm concerned about the use of weed killer in the landscape especially the grass and flower beds. Also If appears that the interior garden in my area H106 doesn't have working sprinklers. I don't like the idea of weed killer being used since it has been shown to be a link with cancer especially in older adults.

                                      Everyone and everything is very nice, quiet and easy access. I enjoy living here it's very convenient for my sister who lives only 10mins down the road. I really don't get involved with the activities they have but I hear they are fun and enjoyable and I am urged to go and check it out sometime.

Office staff are young but hope to learn more about senior activities. There is a really bad parking area in both complexes. Afraid to return home anytime after 2:00 in the afternoon for fear of no parking spot.

                                                  Before this last management, I would have felt very comfortable with publishing my comments because I would have had very nice things to say about my experience. But, until recently, I don't have any good things to say about the Management. However, the tenants are just wonderful people. I don't socialize much, but who I know and the conversations I have with neighbors and tenants is extremely good. I think if it wasn't for management, this would be a wonderful, comfortable and secure place to live.
