Fifty Twenty-Five Apartments, san-diego-ca

Honestly If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Do not live here. Save your money, your sanity, and your safety, because this management team clearly doesn’t value any of the three. My nightmare started in June 2024 when the HVAC system in our unit broke. Instead of a simple fix, it started seeping water through the baseboards and into the carpet. Because our room was right next to the unit, the entire floor was soaked. We were forced into "temporary" housing while they ripped up the carpet, leaving us with a disgusting, moldy mess. Fast forward to July, and it only got worse. The day before we were supposed to move into a new unit, they closed off my and my roommates' area, making it impossible for us to get our own belongings. When they finally "prepared" a new room for me, I walked in to inspect it and found a full-grown mushroom growing out of the floor. They clearly hadn't even looked at the room before trying to shove me in there. Then came the "co-ed" logic that makes zero sense. Despite the fact that we had all lived together previously, they split us up. My roommates got to stay together in a shared space, but they stuck me in a unit by myself, claiming the other space "wasn't co-ed." To top it all off: •    The Compensation Battle: I spent months playing phone and email tag just to get some sort of reimbursement for this absolute circus. I didn't see a dime of compensation until December, nearly six months after the initial disaster. •    Harassment from Staff: The shuttle driver, David, is incredibly rude and crabby. He actually snapped at me once or twice for "not hearing him." I had to tell him, "Maybe it’s because I’m deaf and you need to be more mindful." The lack of basic empathy or awareness is staggering. •    Total Disregard for Safety (ADA Violations): This is the most disgusting part. As a deaf resident, I have spent two years asking for a functioning flashing ADA fire alarm accommodation. Not once in two years did it work. They even made me jump through hoops to get signed proof from my doctor because apparently, my mother’s word wasn't "legit" enough to prove I’m deaf. Despite numerous emails about "fire safety inspections," my alarm was never fixed. They literally do not care if their disabled residents live or die in an emergency. I even had to notify Disability Rights California about the safety violations here, and management still didn't act. This place is a massive liability, the staff is unprofessional at times, lacking training to help and assist those who are disabled and the living conditions are hazardous. Stay away.

Shilo was amazing!!! She made our experience a lasting one as my son will attending San Diego Mesa in the fall. She spent 3hrs with us touring and going through the application process on a holiday weekend! We came from Sac to San Diego to make this happen in person! Kudos to Shilo for really helping out and we are grateful! The property is amazing and for a college like experience the price was not bad at all. Really enjoyed the time at the property and the housing is amazing!!!!! Thank you again Shilo!

Jullissa is great. Management before was terrible so I hesitant to even speak with anyone again but I was surprised by how well she managed everythign and responded with care. Old manager wouldn't even respond and Jullissa responded quickly which was drastically different. I can already see things getting better around here since she came in especially in the parking structure with guest parking spots being open. The other office staff is nice as well.

While it’s a convenient location, it is simply not worth it to live here. There was not a time in 9 months of living here where there wasn’t some sort of issue. The WiFi did not work for three months, the parking garage gate did not work at all throughout my entire stay, front desk staff is helpless and incompetent, the apartment was disgusting upon move in, all stairwells and hallways have clearly never been cleaned, they do inspections of your space frequently as if you’re a freshman living in a dorm. The prices they are asking for are nowhere near reflective of how much is put back into the property. Also, they will constantly ask you to resign the lease and don’t take no for an answer. This place is a glorified money grab scheme that preys on students that need somewhere to live. Do yourself and your bank account a favor and live somewhere else.

PLEASE READ AND DONT LIVE HERE!!!! Posting a 1 star because it doesn’t deserve 3.3- realistically 2 stars. My gripes: That nice courtyard in the picture on the website? Rat infested. The pool? Gets sun maybe 3-4 hours a day because of the stupid orientation of the buildings blocking out all the light. Elevator is dirty and constantly breaks down. ALL the hall ways are stained with god knows what and have a musty smell. Mostly students live here but you might get paired with a random 30 your old (even if your 18) because of how they randomly assign rooms. The shuttle that goes to campus is a joke, they leave every 20 mins and don’t pack the shuttle to full capacity- this ends up leaving students 20 mins late EVERY DAY. (They have metal bars running along the top of the shuttle for standing passengers to grab but they limit you to the seated positions) There have been multiple occasions of dog owners letting their dogs shit in halls and in the elevator. Besides all these things the new management (as of 3/18) decided what they need to focus on is towing more people out of the parking garage and limiting the visitor spots to 30 mins no exceptions. (Parking is a huge issue here, if you dont have the over priced parking spot you might end up walking 7-10 plus minutes alone on the side of the street at night) and knocking on our doors begging us to release and offering hot chocolate and pizza. The place has potential but the management is almost unfathomably out of touch and greedy DO NOT LIVE HERE
