Almaden Terrace Apartments

If we’re being honest with ourselves— you are SMARTER than diluting yourself and your sanity to live in this complex. If it sounds like a good idea… I promise it isn’t. No parking, awful laundry situation, careless management, broken air conditioning, non-existent pest control… phew. Oh, I’m also pretty sure our rent was unreasonably raised to get us to leave our lease. If I could have my 6 years back, I’d be on my knees.

If you value your sleep and basic respect, do not live here. The complex decided to send construction crews to work in the unit directly above us early in the morning, completely unannounced. The noise was unbearable. When I went to speak with the builders about the disruption, they were incredibly rude and completely brushed me off. I assumed the leasing office would actually care and step in to handle it, but I was wrong. The office staff was just as disrespectful and made it painfully obvious they couldn't care less about their residents' concerns once the lease is signed. Terrible management, terrible communication, and zero respect for the people who pay to live here. Save yourself the headache.

As others has reported below, the office of the apartment tends to send construction very early in the morning when many are trying to sleep. I was woken up early this morning to hammering above my head. I spoke with the workers and they told me to take it up with the office. When I went into the office they very much had a "not my problem" attitude, where they were clearly interested in getting me out of their to guard their own priorities. They explained how they apparently were not able to control when work is done on their own properties (doesn't make much sense if they are the ones who own the apartments), and felt more like the meeting was about them belittling me for not knowing the internals of how they run their company, as opposed to showing any concern about the fact they are p

Management performed heavy, non-emergency maintenance directly above my unit at 8:30 AM with zero notice. If you work nights or value your sleep, be warned: Almaden Terrace does not respect the 'Quiet Enjoyment' of its residents. It's a nice building, but the management's lack of communication makes it a stressful place to live. Edit: While the office seems to care in the reply above, they do not. They sent construction to work above me again a couple weeks later. When I went in to talk to the office about this (they were actually open this time), both workers were rude and unwilling to help.

Woke up today to maintenance working at full noise above me. Why the management around here regulatory schedules loud maintenance above tenant is beyond me, but if you are planning a stay here, expect it as this type of thing is extremely common. Also worth mentioning calling maintenance will be met with a prolonged wait, still waiting to see if we will get back any response at all.
