I moved into this property when it was still called mResidences SV and under the previous management company. At the time, management was generally responsive, the pool was open, and basic amenities were actually maintained.
Unfortunately, my experience changed significantly under the new management. Since the transition, the pool has remained closed, the gym has not been kept stocked the way it used to be, and there have been frequent water shutoffs. Sometimes residents receive notice and sometimes they do not; on one occasion, my water shut off in the middle of a shower.
Management has also put a lot of effort into repainting and updating the exterior of the property, but I would not let the new paint give you the impression that the apartments themselves have been similarly improved. My unit was dark, stuffy, and generally felt worn down, with a number of drawbacks that made it feel especially poor value for the price. There was no full oven, only a two-burner countertop stove, and no proper kitchen vent. I also had the pleasure of dealing with an ant infestation during my tenancy. Taken together, the unit simply did not feel worth what residents are being charged.
Communication has probably been the most frustrating part. In my experience, management became extremely difficult to reach. If staff were away from the office showing units, calls were often routed to their AI system, “Emma,” and I frequently did not receive any follow-up. There also was not a straightforward email contact that made it easy to communicate with management, so trying to get an answer could feel like sending messages into a black box.
The final straw has been my security deposit. I moved out on August 6, 2026. When I returned my keys, I was told in person that my full security deposit would be returned because the unit was going to be renovated. The property’s own move-out inspection marked the condition items as passing and did not list any charges, and a later completed unit-turn inspection likewise showed the unit passing its condition checks. Despite that, I did not receive my security deposit or an itemized statement within the required timeframe. I followed up multiple times and eventually sent a formal written demand, which also went unanswered.
I enjoyed living here much more under the prior management. Unfortunately, between the decline in amenities, maintenance disruptions, difficulty reaching staff, and the way my move-out has been handled, I could not recommend the property at its current price point or under its current management.
