Palomar at SLO, san-luis-obispo-ca

Academy Palomar is super nice. In general, repairs and events make this place amazing. Location from school is good and the overall place is up to date and nice. If you are a light sleeper like me, make sure you’re in the right apartment complex. I’m next to the parking garage exhaust which is the loudest thing in existence. Some amenities are broken here and there and they could be repaired slightly quicker. Additionally, it gets really, really, really hot in the Summer because there’s no air conditioning. The apartments retain heat a little too well due to the one window that’s in the majority of the rooms. Overall, 3.5/5 for the place itself. Some things are missing for the high price that you pay.

The Academy has some pretty terrible reviews but I think those were written during peak COVID when the amenities were closed? I have had zero issues with the staff, everyone is super friendly and accommodating. The dryer was broken when I moved in and the maintenance guy was there within the next day to fix it! The complex is relatively sound proof compared to other apartments that I've lived in (sure, the neighbors can be noisy, but its student housing so you shouldn't expect it to be silent all the time). Oh and the gym is amazing, they clean it pretty regularly and everyone is respectful of the attached study areas. I would 1000% recommend this place to anyone thinking of living here.

I am currently living at the Academy Palomar and i really enjoy it. The apartment is very nice and has been taken care of well. The staff is nice and attentive for the most part, sometimes there a bit slow to follow up with maintenance orders, but it does get done eventually.

Difficult dealing with financial office and constantly had to remind about removing insurance charges

The Academy Palomar has been a really fun place to live! The staff and residents are very friendly and the apartments are really spacious and nice. I have had not problems and will continue to live here
