San Mateo Forest Apartamentos

members house. Honestly do not move in. Worst year of my life!

remodeled, and they couldn’t wait 3 more months for our lease to expire before they pitched us out so they could remodel and rent the unit for more money. Per the lease, they are only required to give you 3O days notice (but you are expected to give 6O days notice to vacate or be charged over $5OO in early termination fees). And that’s how our twelve year residency at San Mateo ended, our reward for putting up with revolving door office staff, performing and paying for most of our own maintenance, taking my trash down to the corner shopping center’s dumpsters because the two non-compliant dumpsters San Mateo provides for over 2OO units were made inaccessible, the office allowing workmen use my handicap parking space for a loading dock, watching them paint the entire property penitentiary gray and dump crushed stone (our prison rock pile) anywhere a blade of grass might grow and need to be cut, rapidly escalating rents to pay for remodeling other people’s apartments, ten plus year failure to properly sub-meter water and provide any documentation supporting the excessive fee charged, water running out of the bathroom electrical outlet, can’t fix the fluorescent light fixture in the kitchen all summer long, and neighbors who live in a consequence free world where it is acceptable to party the plaster off our ceiling or have so many domestic violence complaints the police don’t even respond anymore. Setting aside your personal feelings about smoking, as that was merely the excuse proffered here, know that if at any time you should stand between San Mateo and an extra nickel’s profit, it is nothing to them to unlawfully terminate your lease and evict you from your home.

their own property about average, why wouldn't they? You could reasonably expect that at any property. But it has been our consistent experience that anything requiring an ounce of concern or effort is met with the brush-off. When we have been persistent, we've been referred to the owners, who are on-site but the employees in that office tell us the owners do not speak to their residents. All I will say about the photographs here is that they are certainly not pictures of our apartment, nor any of our neighbors that we've ever seen. This is an old property, in fairly good shape for its age but quite steeply priced, and with a notably unenthusiastic office staff dedicated to the bare minimum of acceptable service. You would imagine that property managers would wish to avoid the additional work, added expense, and loss of revenue involved in resident turnover, but if this is the case we don't see them making any connection between that and the relatively easy effort it would require to keep people here. We seem to have new neighbors every time we turn around, but I suppose variety is the spice of life.

of children live at this apartment complex. The local recreation center is just around the corner from us. Grocery stores are all directions but only 7 to 10 minutes away. There is a swimming pool that is open during the summertime. It is in walking distance from Lakewood Shopping Center which includes Gingerman & Upstairs Lounge. San Mateo Forest Apartments are currently under renovation.

wouldn't replace the 1st; 2nd; OR 3rd time the refrigeratorS went out. Car break ins, flat tires, minimal shootings, of course the property cameras are fake!!! Little grey haired white lady is security :-/ one way out and one way in, over the terribly uneven roads and ginormous potholes.

would recommend going into the leasing office to talk to a representative. Most of the apartment layouts are unique, so looking at the floor plans online doesnt give you an accurate picture of where you could be living.
