  • Great Apartment and amazing price!

    February 7, 2024
    I'm not sure why this place is getting bad reviews. It seems like people may be too harsh. In a few months my one year lease will be up and I've loved living here. I've talked to Ray a few times and he seems nice and responsive to the tenants' needs. AJ is also great and the maintenance team is excellent. Whenever I've had a problem they've come in the same day to fix it which I really appreciated. For parking, each apartment gets one assigned spot that is under a parking structure. There is ...
    plenty of other parking and even street parking so parking was never a problem for me. The spots are a bit small but I think that's to accommodate all cars so everyone can find a spot. Internet (which is pretty fast) and cable is included in the rent and the second floor units have high ceilings which makes it feel very spacious. There's a lot of storage space and the pool is nicely maintained during the summer. Everything in the apartment works great. The stove is electric and old but it does the job. They take really good care of the surroundings as I see people come and maintain the area pretty often. The only negative is that the walls are kinda thin. I don't know how loud it is for people downstairs but I can hear other people's bathroom fans and air conditioning.

  • Loved living here

    March 29, 2023
    I recommend an upstairs apartment due to better lighting and the abilities to have my blinds open all day long, loved that the pool and hot tub area were rarely used. Having a laundry room that is app based was a plus for me as well, no need for quarters. Anytime I needed something fixed maintanence was quick to show up at my door and repair the issue (rarely needed them to repair anything by the way). Blackouts occured all over the south bay (due to storms) but literally never had the lights go ...
    out at this complex, power lines in the area were run underground. Would have stayed here longer if financially able to, but would recommend to anyone. Plus parking is NOT an issue here which is rare for apartment complexes.

  • Cheap apartment

    January 5, 2020
    - Walls are paper-thinned. I can clearly hear the snoring from upstairs. I have a hard time to sleep even with earplugs on. - Laundry room so DIRTY that I am worried about my health. - The whole community smells strong curry.

  • Disrespectful Manager ‘RAY’

    March 27, 2019
    I had planned to stay at Macara Gardens for couple of years considering the location but the Property Manager has changed my mind because of his disappointing rude attitude towards residents and now I can’t wait for my lease to end and move out of this place! Property Manager ‘Ray’ does not have manners to talk to residents. He is extremely rude! Instead of finding a way out to handle apartment issues, he throws the whole baggage on the residents with his annoying rude behavior. I had extremely ...
    disappointing experience with him.

  • Worst apartment with cockroaches and bedbugs

    September 23, 2018
    This apartment is full of bed bug and cockroaches.Maintenance guys are waste.If you go to leasing office and ask them to get cockroaches and bed bugs treated they will tell you guys brought bed bugs and cockroaches with you.They will send unskilled people for treatment of these and you will find no difference.The worst and uninhabitable apartment and worst leasing service.
