I have had a wonderful experience Living at the Village at the town center. I recently moved out due to buying property but I had a great experience with the people in management. Edith is very friendly and communicative and helped me throughout my 2 years living here! Maintenance is quick and communicative. Its nice, calm and very walkable due to the Ohlone Greenway that runs behind the enclosed complex. On top of this the gym is great for this price range and parking is cheap! (No need to park since street parking is abundant and safe!). I would highly recommend living here!!!

We have lived here for 2 years- I love it! I genuinely love the views from our3rd floor apartment- the hills look spectacular over the sunset. The apartments are clean, big, updated & nice. The other residents are very nice- there are several families with small children here & the other residents are always willing to say hi and share a moment in the grassy courtyard. Maintenance can be slow (3-4 business days) but if you call the office they will try to come faster. The Maintenance crew is extremely friendly. The grounds are clean with beautiful flowers & hummingbirds. I leave my stroller & bikes out front of the parking lot and nothing has ever been stolen. I enjoy the gym attached. Many residents have animals- which is nice. Rent is average for the area.

I lived here for 2 years and moved out after the second time they raised the rent. Honestly, it's not a terrible place to live. I liked the space of my apartment overall, we had gated entry (although our gates didn't work for like 8 months out of the 2 years we were there), and never had any major issues while we were there. I have lived in apartments for MANY years so I'm used to it, and honestly this was one of the better ones I stayed in. I guess that's why I was OK with the cost, until it got too much. So my 3 star is really like a 3.5 star. Some things to note if you are considering moving here: - I felt like the front desk and maintenance were pretty responsive. Seems like others didn't have the same experience, but whenever I had issues, I was able to get ahold of them easily. The only time they WEREN'T responsive was when we had questions about our renewal terms, and that's on the overall management company. - It's a RUBS system with the utilities. I was shocked that we averaged $250 a month on trash/water/pest control, etc. Thank God we kept our PG&E bill relatively cheap to offset that. This was probably my biggest gripe about this place and is now the reason why I always ask about what the utility charges are like when looking at other rentals. - Lots of construction right now because they are updating a lot of the garages into studios/ADU units. Which means less parking available than before. And also means we had a lot more false fire alarms. - I did get more than half of our security deposit back, which seems to be better than some folks. I wish I had just asked them if they were going to charge me a cleaning fee regardless because I spent a ton on a move out cleaning service, only for them to still charge me a cleaning fee to meet their standards. I'm starting to think move out cleaning services are a scam. - I lived on the second floor, in a corner apartment so I really loved my location and its natural sunlight. But I would hate living on the first floor here. You get a lot of folks yelling outside.
