Seawind Apartments

These apartments are run down. There are no rules in the apartment complex for tenants to respect other tenants. A lot of yelling and screaming. A lot of ghetto people roaming around outside by the apartment windows. You call the manager’s office and they don’t want to do anything, they just don’t care. They stole all my clothes from the laundry room. I called the manager’s office and they were gone. I called the after-​hours number for emergencies and when they called me back they told me that having ALL my clothes stolen wasn’t an emergency. I knew who had my clothes, a bunch of teenager ghetto kids from my same building. I called the emergency line because I didn’t want to have to call the police. It was a mess. Quite frankly, avoid this apartment complex unless you want a lot of headaches and problems.

***WARNING**** Do not be fooled by their landscape and waterfall. That is all you’ll get out of this place.
The only reason my husband and I moved here was because it was near my family and since we were expecting our first child we needed help with childcare. We moved into apartment #310 which was supposed to be the «best» unit in the complex as it was previously leased to the manager. It was a 2 bedroom 2 bath with washer & dryer hookups and recently upgraded bathrooms. It seemed tranquil and quiet when we first checked it out.
We quickly learned that this was not the case. There is not central air inside these units and I was told that my unit was the only one with multiple ceiling fans. This creates a large problem when summer rolls around and everyone single unit has their windows open. By 8pm EVERYONE tenant was frustrated with each other and you could hear them yelling at one another to lower the volume of their television or to stop talking. You see, the walls are also paper thin! I remember when they tore down the power plant and our entire unit shook, windows rattled and everything.
Luckily, I was in the process of purchasing my own home and only stayed here a year. My husband and I will bring this place up whenever we talk about how ghetto the South Bay is.
Here are some helpful tips:
— Visit this place at night
— You only have 2 parking spots
— The gym is only open from 9am-​5pm while everyone is at work.
— Loud neighbors
— You WILL smell cannabis being smoked every day.
— The pool area is tiny
— The entrance gate rarely operates
— No online rent payments accepted. (Seriously) You have to actually write a check. WHO ORDERS CHECKS ANYMORE?

My wife lived here years ago with her parents and told me about it a few months ago when the lease on our apartment in Imperial Beach was up. After looking at other apartments in this area, we settled on Seawind Apartments because.
1. She really enjoyed living here before.
2. This place is much nicer than other apartments in the area.
3. This place is reasonably priced.
4. They are animal friendly.
5. They have a pool unlike some of the apartments nearby.
6. The place is like a park with lots of grass and multiple barbecues.
7. Seawind is super clean and well maintained.
8. Seawind is also close by downtown Chula Vista, 805 and 5 freeways, the H Street Mall, and many other stores and restaurants.
I have had nothing but positive interactions with Reyna and other staff members. They are super friendly when I have called in and super friendly in person when I have stopped by the office.
I would not hesitate to recommend this place to others.

This is the worst complex I’ve ever lived in, in terms of administration and the physical space itself. The carpets are cheap and attract everything. The walls are thin and you can hear everything from every other apartment in the building. The tile floors were never clean, so mater how many times I went over them with a swiffer wet mop. In-​window A/C’s are not allowed and the humidity is ridiculous. The management is horrible, especially Reyna, who was defensive and stand offish every time I talked with her. The only full time manager is Rosie and she is the only one that can answer questions, the other ‘managers’ are useless. They changed to an online payment system while I lived there and the system didn’t process my payment correctly, so I was charged a late fee. They are unorganized; they tried to overcharge me on 2 separate occasions, and I had to correct them.

So I lived here for 6 months and regretted it not long after I moved in. There is no air conditioning, and it gets HOT! There is no «seawind» so I had to resort to putting fans in every window. There are some really CREEPY guys that just stand around at all hours of the day and night and just stare at you. The kids run around looking in your windows checking out what you have in your apartment. After I moved out, I only got a tiny fraction of my deposit back. I cleaned all of the walls, cabinets, floors… everything! It is useless trying to fight it and it was almost impossible to actually talk to someone in the office. They are always gone or never answer their phone. There are a lot of other apartments in the area that are not owned by HCA properties and I would check them out before ever moving in there.
