Here for a work visit and was trying to look for a short term rental. Jurithzy the assistant manager was amazing!! She took me on a tour around the facility and was so warm and welcoming. She patently explained all the floor plans and my options. I loved the grounds. It was beautiful greenery and lots of shades provided by the trees (ideal for evening walks). Also love the fact that you have several options to choose from.

I lived at San Mateo for two years, and my experience there was wonderful. I would have stayed longer if I hadn’t made a bunch of connections on the opposite side of town; but I highly recommend these apartments to anyone looking for someplace affordable and well maintained!
Location: The apartments are ten minutes from downtown, ten minutes from the Spectrum area, and twenty minutes from Gates Pass, so shopping + socializing + desert wandering were all close by. The place is right on a busy street, so downsides are that there were loud cars (and loud passersby) at times, and someone got into my car once early on because I left it unlocked (but I never made that mistake again and therefore had no more issues). Aside from that, I felt very safe there; I wandered around at night a lot and never encountered anything sketchy.
Staff: Everyone who worked on the property was kind and treated me with respect. Jurithzy and Juanita in the office were always helpful with my questions and requests, and maintenance issues were generally resolved in a timely manner by Omar + the rest of the maintenance staff. I locked my keys in my car a few times, and the office always helped me get back into my apartment so I could wait for AAA in comfort.
Apartment: My apartment was in great condition; I had some maintenance issues with my toilet, but they ended up replacing it for me at no cost. The A/C worked well and quickly and the place stayed cool even with the shades open. I had some cockroaches throughout my stay, but I found that plugging my drains at night took care of most of them. The neighbors sometimes partied/played video games with the windows open at midnight, but that level of disturbance was pretty infrequent and for the most part my surroundings were peaceful.
Amenities: The pool was clean and really nice in the summer; the laundry room was humid sometimes, but the machines were clean and worked well; the workout room was quiet and clean; and the neighbors were pretty friendly. They used to have more grassy green spaces which they switched out for landscaping rocks; I’m sure it was to save money/water, but it was still a little disappointing. However some grass remains, and there are plenty of shade trees that keep the place cool and attractive.
Pricing/fees: I paid a little less than $800 for a renovated studio, plus utilities which fluctuated month to month, but they never gouged me with ridiculous prices, and my rent only went up by $6 the second year. I also got basically my entire security deposit back, which was unheard of at the last place I lived, and really was the cherry on top of the experience.
Altogether, San Mateo was a really pleasant place to live, and I am grateful for the two years I spent there. No place is perfect, but all the issues I encountered there were either resolved by staff or were minor enough to be entirely live-with-able. Five stars and many thanks!
