Having lived at Avalon Sunset Towers for slightly more than a year, I can assert that my experience has been positive. The property manager, Jack, stands out for his professionalism and responsiveness to the needs of residents. While I have encountered few problems, the maintenance team has proven to be efficient and prompt in their service. I would certainly recommend this location or any Avalon property.

I've been living at Avalon Sunset Towers since 2021, and in many ways it's been my best experience renting in SF. The location is perfect for being near GGP and many businesses in the inner sunset, it's close to public transit, the building is quiet, parking is convenient, and above all the friendly and helpful staff here are what really make the difference. The community manager Jack has gone out of his way on multiple occasions to make sure I'm taken care of, and has really made Avalon Sunset Towers feel like home. A few years back I was out of town during an unusually intense storm, and Jack called me to see if he could help me move my car to protect it from falling debris, which is something I never would have expected him to do. He's helped me find missing packages, kept deliveries safe for me while I'm away, promptly dealt with any maintenance issues I may have, and in general has made me feel like I can always rely on him for help whenever I need anything. He made me feel welcome during my tour on day one, and since then has treated me with the greatest professionalism and friendliness. Thanks Jack! I would recommend Sunset Towers to anyone who is looking for a place to live in the Inner Sunset, especially if you like the idea of living in a community with a diverse range of people.
