Had been living here for over 5 years and it's a pleasure to live here. The leasing office here is very responsible and nice. The neightbood is nice and the location is pretty good. Two blocks away from 101 and 1 mile from MTV downtown and you could just walk to safeway.
Mira, I give one star because these walls are made of old tortillas. I am sitting in my kitchen, and I can hear my neighbor next door thinking.
But the real problem is the bathroom. It is like a 'Community Toilet' through the wall. I can hear my neighbor, El Tio, in there every morning. He is a very loud man. I hear the 'plop,' I hear the 'splash,' and then I hear him groaning and grunting like he is fighting a Brahma Bull in there! It sounds like a rodeo behind my mirror.
Last Tuesday, he sneezed while he was on the 'throne' and it was so loud I accidentally said 'Salud!' through the wall. He said 'Gracias, Quico!' back. We are too close, man. My kids think El Tío lives in our closet. If you want a house where you can have a conversation with a stranger while you are both on the toilet, move to The Shadows. Otherwise, run away!
Mira, management says they have an 'alternate solution.'
Does this mean the building is finally giving us noise-canceling sombreros? Or is El Tío getting a high-performance muffler for his morning 'rodeo' sessions? I’ll keep my ears open (not like I have a choice with these tortilla walls)!
been here for 10 months. pay like 3.5k. door next to me got through major renovation, for the past 8 months? monday thru friday, 9-5 pm, 5-6 guys working, loud, talking, drilling etc. 8 months man. they told me it’d be done 2 months ago, still going at it. they make 30 story buildings in china in a month..
the garbage truck will come at 8 am every week. you will wake up. the leaf blower dude will start blasting it at 8 am sharp.
you can literally hear the highway from inside. there are 2 huge car washes at the intersection which you can hear.
this place has 0 peace and quiet. it is LOUD.

I’ve lived at Shadows for over a year now and I’ve absolutely loved it. The environment is peaceful and provides everything my family was looking for in an apartment. The manager Indira has been nothing but helpful to me and my family. They also have a playground for the little ones which was a huge plus for me!
We recently moved in and have been very happy so far. The move-in process was smooth, and we truly love our apartment. It’s spacious, nicely updated, and the location is a huge plus as my commute used to be 40 minutes, so being this close to work has made a big difference. We also really appreciate how quiet the community is; after a long day at the office, it’s the perfect place to unwind.
A big thank you to Indira for taking the time to show us several apartments over two different days. We’d happily recommend Shadows to anyone looking for a new home in Mountain View!
