Great place to live!

Been living here for three years now. Originally was in a one bed, currently in a studio. I definitely echo the sentiment about the apartments not breathing well: the one bed in particular was horribly insulated to the point where I spent most of my time in the bedroom where the AC actually worked. The studio is actually an improvement in this regard since you have windows adjacent to each other (one in the front, one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom). I don't have to use my AC unit as much as a result, which is nice. Options for internet are not great. Cox is absolutely abysmal, while AT&T/EarthLink are just okay. As someone who worked from home during the pandemic, it was a bit annoying to get random service outages at inopportune times. SDG&E also seems to love doing maintenance on our transformer here, so much so that they end up taking longer than expected almost every time. The area is hit or miss, though to be honest that seems to be a constant here in San Diego. Being close to the beach is both a blessing and a curse: the homeless do venture in to the area from time to time, though to their credit, they keep vandalism and other disturbances to a minimum. Probably helps that there's no easy ways out of here by foot, and the middle school nearby also probably acts as something of a deterrent. Otherwise, it's a decent location in terms of convenience, so long as you have a car. Reading through the reviews, it seems many people take issue with Dio, the manager. While I can't speak to their experiences, I haven't had any negative experiences with her, personally. The main issue I have with the apartments themselves is the aforementioned issue of poor insulation, which does make them unpleasantly warm even when it's cool outside. It doesn't help that the buildings both face southwest and that many of the apartments are on the second floor. Besides that, most of the issues I have are peripheral to the units themselves, but also not things I expect to be much better anywhere else.
