Velocity at Lawrence Station

Lived here for a year. Today I received my deposit refund, paid $1000 and got $97.04 back. I have been a tenant for the past 9 years, have always maintained the places well and cleaned the apartment well before move-out, have never had any issues before, and this is the first time I had deductions from my deposit. They charged $360 for 9 hours of "apartment painting", $225 for "full cleaning", and $166.17 and $151.79 for "rubs" for the last two months of my lease period for which no explanations are provided. The apartment management has changed quite a few times during my living here, and now it's Zell Associates. I contacted them and was told painting and cleaning are standard charges for move-out, which I've never experienced before, since I fully cleaned it and I don't have any damage

Very nice studio and free parking spot. Reasonable charges for move-out fee. When I move-out, I clean the room well and I was charged around $200 for cleaning fee which is reasonable. Also, I maintain the room well.

I chose to live in Velocity after comparing with 10 other similar apartment, and Velocity has the best price for an Apartment that has plenty space, not too old, and with standalone washer/dryer. I lived here for 2 years and had to move out for personal reasons. I absolutely love this place. Property manager Mariela is super responsive, kind, and helpful for all my requests. Place is quiet and safe. I don't have a problem with losing packages or mails. When I moved out, the security deposit was fully returned to me within a week (minus a reasonable cleaning cost).

I lived at Velocity for 2+ years. Mariella, the property manager was super helpful during my time there and all the maintenance requests were taken care of promptly. What I did not like was that the internet options had very poor bandwidth at this location and also that almost all of my security deposit wasn’t returned even though I had handed the apartment back in very good condition.

We're current residents here, we moved in around the time COVID started to ramp up back in March. It was a crazy time for us but the apartment manager, Mariela was very patient and honest to set us up with a lovely apartment. Pros: Responsive management/maintenance Newer appliances Nice modern apartment design Wood flooring In unit washer/dryer (a blessing to have) Fairly new models as I believe they were refurbished a few years ago Pretty affordable for the bay area Great location, right off Lawrence and easy access to 101 and 280 Cons: Walls are sorta thin so sometimes noise travels Second floor apartments can get hot in the summer but an AC unit is provided Overall we've enjoyed living here so far given the whole pandemic situation. The community is safe and Nob Hill is nearby whic
