  • Amazing Place to Live!

    March 19, 2024
    I'm approaching my 2nd year of living at Current, and I can honestly say that I've never been happier. Just as many other Little Italy apartments have great amenities, ideal location, and pet-friendliness, Current has it all. What sets Current apart is their onsite staff Alenor, Maria, and Chase. Coming from Seattle I knew no one, and Alenor ensured I felt welcomed. I'd stop by the office to say hello to my only San Diego "friend", and she would recommend the best local spots to visit, community ...
    events, and our building gatherings to explore. Now I stand here with various friend groups, many initiated from our neighborhood gatherings. The important detail I'm framing is that I'm not just a unit number. As so many other apartment complex's seem to disregard residents after signage, have turnover on office staff- Alenor has provided continuous support and has been a constant for all of us at Current. She is the reason I live here and will continue to live here. I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge Maria and Chase as well. They, too, are extremely helpful and supportive of all my requests throughout my years here. I cannot be thankful enough for them. Bottom line- if you are looking into living in beautiful Little Italy, I highly suggest you explore Current. So many can attest to the wonderful experience of living here. Still not sure? Go talk to Ally (Alenor). :)

      Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We are thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience during your time at Current.

Creating a sense of com munity and belonging is a top priority for us, and we're delighted to hear that you've found that here. We look forward to continuing to provide you with excellent service and making your stay at Current feel like home. Chase Thielbar Community Manager

    I'm a new resident at Current and I'm loving it so far! The building staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the move-in process was so smooth with the leasing office, and my unit is everything I hoped for. It's safe, quiet, clean, and close walking proximity to all the shops and restaurants. The amenities are very nice (gym, pool, rooftop) and the security of the building is top notch. I'm very happy here!
