this place is a mess. DO NOT move here. when i first moved in two years ago, laundry cards were in place and it took 4 MONTHS for me to get a laundry card. the laundry card machine was out of service and they never called someone to refill cards. I had to do it myself.
then when i needed to renew my lease, they only gave me month-to-month and wouldn’t send me a proper 12 months or 13 month lease. they kept sending me a lease with OLD dates on it. there was no way i would ever put my signature on a legally binding document for something with invalid dates. they would never fix it or reply to my emails no matter how hard i tried. don’t ever bother coming in person, the people in person are useless and not friendly.
then they decided to do maintenance on the rent portal the exact week that rent is due. so they shut down the portal, and wiped everyone’s logins and banking information. the same week that rent is due. so the only way you could pay was cashier’s check in person. if you were traveling that week, you were out of luck. they sent me an eviction notice because they gave me no other way to pay rent even though i paid on time every month until then.
not to mention they do so many in-unit inspections and the hot water gets shut off for as long as a week, multiple times a year. packages get stolen. the first year i moved in, i had no packages stolen. but now packages get stolen all the time.
they use stupid AI chat bots and send out useless weekly AI emails that just clog up your inbox. they have repainted the parking spots multiple times and then left residents without a spot to park in which is unacceptable. cars were getting towed simply because we had nowhere to park despite LIVING IN THE RESIDENCES. they have put money into repainting the exteriors instead of putting money to hire competent staff.
this is the worst apartment management i have ever encountered. do not trust the five star reviews, they all seem fake or have not lived here very long. go live elsewhere if you have the choice to.

I lived at Skyline Heights for two years and here is my overall review:
PARKING:
When I first moved in, the asphalt near the apartments were very very bad. Cracks everywhere. They did an entire asphalt project over one summer, which inconvenienced a lot of residents because we couldn’t park there for 3 days. They didn’t really fix the road, they just poured new asphalt over the existing one so it still doesn’t look great. THEY ARE NOT AFRAID TO TOW YOUR CAR. If they decide to do a parking lot project and you’re on vacation, they will tow your car because you haven’t moved it, even though you email them and tell them you’re not there. I’ve also had friends come over and when they accidentally park in the wrong spot (back when there was guest parking), residents will call a tow within an hour of the car being parked there.
AMENITIES:
There really isn’t any. They’ve been trying to do more community events lately but I’ve never been to the pool and I used to go to the gym until I realized it was never really cleaned (spiders everywhere). The laundry room is always dirty and at least one machine is always broken. I decided to pay extra to go to the laundromat down the street, where they actually clean it daily. There’s a “dog park” but people don’t pick up after their dogs. And a lot of tenants never leash their dogs so you’ll find a few dogs just running through the area.
MAINTENANCE:
I never had any issues with maintenance. If you submit a work request and tell them what time to come by, they’ll usually fulfill it within 1-2 days. The maintenance team are very nice and happy to help you. If you do have pest control issues, however, the pest control team only comes by on Tuesdays so you have to wait.
NOISE:
Luckily, my unit wasn’t near the freeway so I rarely got noise. I never heard the neighbors next to me, only my neighbor on the floor above me. FYI if your neighbor smokes in the unit above you, you can definitely smell it. I did have other tenants complain to me because their unit was closer to the street, and they often woke up because of the noise. If your bedroom window faces the parking lot too, you’ll probably wake up to flashing lights coming in through the window.
OFFICE STAFF:
The office used to never answer calls. I would have to call 10-15 times until someone actually picked up during working hours. Over the past year, they’ve gotten a lot better with picking up (I assume because of some bad reviews). They do use an AI agent so if you ever try to text them, you’ll just be talking to a bot.
RENT:
Rent did increase for me slightly when I renewed my lease. I didn’t think it was egregious but I certainly would not pay the amounts they are offering now, especially for a small studio with no in unit laundry and hardly any amenities.
APARTMENT:
Be aware that there is rarely sun here, which should be known since you’re living in Daly City. The insulation in these apartments are very poor. The bar where your air conditioning and heater is supposed to filter through occupies the largest wall in a studio, so if you put any furniture against that wall, you’ll be blocking the vent.
I also had a few pest issues while I was there. Ants come at least twice a year and if you leave your front door open for longer than two minutes, you’ll get a lot of gnats and mosquitoes coming in. Whenever I left for vacation for longer than two weeks and came back, I would find dead bugs scattered across the apartment.
I never had mail stolen. They deliver directly to your door or leave packages near the mailboxes.
Overall, it’s a “you get what you pay for” kind of place. I wouldn’t pay the rent they’re charging now, but when I first signed a lease, it was significantly lower than other apartment complexes in Daly City. I was fine dealing with the lower quality of apartments for the rent, but I decided it’s worth it to pay more to actually love where I live.
