  • Believe the reviews, this place hasn’t changed

    August 25, 2024
    Honestly, upon moving in this place was a dream. Great amount of space for the price and a decent location despite the hospital traffic. Cons: parking is a nightmare. They’ve promised us parking spaces for over 4 months now but nothing. Reading older reviews it hasn’t changed since 2015, yikes. Obnoxiously noisy neighbors. We had a unit by the pool and oh my god the blasting music and screaming teens till late at night and use of pool after hours during the summer. It feels like none of these ...
    people have any respect on each other’s spaces despite asking politely to keep things subtle. Weed and cigarette smokers around the area will leave your car smelling like an old bar.

  • STUDENTS - Let me save you some money and time

    August 18, 2021
    My group tried continuously to get approved just to find out this corporation does not accept student income which was a large portion of our group's total income. We lost valuable application money and several days of time. At the same time, our application process was difficult, lengthy, and stressful. As an incoming senior this fall, I genuinely just want a place to call home to finish my studies, no bad intentions. I highly advise you to look somewhere else or just consider the rest of the ...

  • Don’t move to this place, is not safe!!

    June 8, 2021
    The street lights are all off and they won’t get it fixed. Every night many cars and storages are broken into and they don’t do anything. Good luck if the apartment is by the freeway, it’s so noise that you won’t be able to sleep without earplugs.
    • Property Manager Responded

      June 14, 2021
      We're very sorry to hear of your frustrations. We recently upgraded our exterior lighting, and we continue to report any incidents of theft to the local police department. The City of SD has been trying to fix the light posts, but they need SDGE to fix a electrical issue in order to move forward. It is our understanding this matter is pending and will be handled ASAP. If you're open to discussing your concerns in more detail, please call the office anytime to speak with our community manager. We're grateful to have you as a member of our community, and we appreciate your understanding. Thank you!

  • Definitely would not recommend

    April 25, 2019
    I lived here for a year in 2013-2014. When I moved out, I was not told that I owed Agave Ridge any money whatsoever. In December 2018, I got a call from a collections company saying that I owed Agave Ridge $400 as an "insufficient notice penalty." I had never heard of this penalty until that call. I called Agave Ridge multiple times and wrote letters and emails, asking for evidence or any proof that I had not given enough notice when I moved out. I got no response. Because Agave Ridge had not ...
    sent the case to collections until after 4 years after I moved out, they were past the statute of limitations to collect - and I had to send multiple letters to collections getting that point across. If Agave Ridge truly believed I had given them insufficient notice (to the tune of $400) then they could have easily responded to my calls and letters telling me why they thought I owed them money. And telling me why it took them 4 years to try to collect. It was an incredibly frustrating experience for me to deal with collections for a debt that I know I didn't owe, but when any proof was in Agave Ridge's possession - and Agave Ridge wouldn't respond to me in any way. I would not recommend living here; they clearly don't care about their tenants and were just trying to get $400 from me for some fake penalty. I gave them so many chances to just help me with the collections case or give me any proof at all that I owed money. They didn't and all I can do is now hope that others don't live here and go through the same experience I did.

  • Worst apartments I’ve ever lived in

    August 2, 2018
    They are horrible here! Place is old and anytime u need something fixed it takes weeks to get someone to come. You have to call 3 or 4 times. There customer service at the office is horrible! I wouldn’t move bck here even if they paid for my rent! I wouldn’t moved here if knew this! It will take them weeks to fix your shower but don’t be a day late on rent they will answer those calls and make moves on those situations! Absolutely horrible here.

  • An honest review about Agave Ridge

    The Pros: Close to 805S and 163S, Walking distance are Restaurants, Gas Station, Kearny High, Mesa College,Sharp Hospital. Pet friendly Central Air, Pools, Work Out Room, Laundry. The Cons: Thin walls, not enough free tenant parking & street parking, creaky floors, cabinets & doors stick from over painting. Dog waste throughout, From my 3yr experience: Monthly rent will increase an ave $70-$80 with every renewed year lease. Tips: Become an extreme couponer or ask your employer for a ...

  • We've lived here too long

    August 6, 2015
    We love our place! Great community but the apartment is old, we've been here for 12 years and think it's time to move on because all the houses in our area are remodeled and it will cost us more to move into a remodeled building

  • Over a Year at Agave Ridge

    September 7, 2015
    Agave Ridge Townhomes has been a pretty nice place to stay. I've lived my entire life in houses and this was my first time moving into an apartment. I've been here over a year now and I'm definitely satisfied. The rooms are very well sized, and with the townhouse layout of the rooms being upstairs and the kitchen being downstairs things don't feel very cramped. The staff he is helpful and the facilities are great. There are multiple laundry rooms, pools, and a mini-gym as well. There are dining ...
    tables around and there is both free and paid parking. The paid parking spots are actually a pretty good value because they come with larger-than-expected overhead storage. It's conveniently located between the 805 and 163 freeways so it's literally smack dab in the middle of San Diego, which I find to be pretty helpful.

  • Agave Ridge Townhomes

    August 20, 2015
    I have lived in this particular apartment for over a year and a half. So far I find this apartment to be pretty standard in what someone would find in the area. The positive part about living in this one is that it is a two floor apartment in their units at 900 square feet. The location I am currently living in seems a little outdated and could use renovations. When I walk outside it isn't the nicest view to look at. What really makes it difficult for me is that I work at night and sleep ...
    throughout the day. On some days they are doing maintenance, while most days of the week it seems like someone is running a daycare outside my window. As I write this review now I would hope to get some sleep but it seems like I am usually unfortunate enough to hear what is going on outside my place. The walls are thin, very thin. Like I said, this is a pretty average place in the area but we get what we paid for. There is a lot of room for improvement and they do have the potentia.
