Northgate Savoy

tried to call them for appointment/​leasing, left voice mail and sent mail but no reply from the apartment management, if this is the case before renting I would rather avoid it

My wife and I used to live here way back, maybe a little 10 years ago. I never had any problem with their unit and staff. This place is a top notch for me. The living room is big enough, the balcony is perfect enough. Tress, lots of tress so its nice and cool. The pool is good enough. We rented out the 1 bed/​1 bath unit. We moved because are family got a little bigger, so we are now in san jose. And back then they didnt have 2 beds unit available. I will not mind to live in this place again. Off all the places we lived, this place by far the best for us. (Donna) apartment Manager is always a helpful and awesome person. I wish we could go back here again.

I’m looking for an apartment. And I find Northgate Savoy is good for me .So I check their website everyday about 1 month ago and when I find unit available I call immediately. But the staff always told me the unit has been pre-​rented. The situation happened three times. It’s ridiculous. If it’s already been rented, why put it on your website. And I really don’t know how to pre-​rent!!!

I have lived here for three years. The staff is wonderful! I lost keys twice and both times the staff was helpful in locating them because the honest people who live here returned them. It is an older building but they just installed brand new windows. The maitence people are awesome! They fix it within just a few hours of me calling, even installing a brand new water heater! I love living here!

I lived here for 4 years and I loved the place, very quiet at night as I am a light sleeper and didn’t have any issues. Really good rent price for the square footage. Donna & Michelle were both awesome landlords! Great maintenance staff and lush greeneries. They have multiple beautiful mini parks on the inside of the apartments with a heated swimming pool and jacuzzi with cool colors. Its located near the 880 for quick access and next to a huge Northgate park. I highly recommend this place for living in the bay, we feel lucky to have found it, Thanks Northgate Savoy!

very beautifull and good place to live in!!!

Rating: A Big ZERO !!!
Leasing office staff: RUDE ! UNPROFESSIONAL !! RIDICULOUS !!!
I was searching for an apartment and came across this only because it is cheap. First of all they never pick up the calls until you keep trying. They are closed on Saturday and Sunday, and close office at whatever time they want on weekdays.
I have had terrible experience before signing a lease itself. Lady working here is a such a rude person that she does not care at all. We were supposed to meet around 4pm on Friday to sign a lease. Then this lady emails me on Friday 10 am and says, she has to leave office by 3pm and I have to come before that. I work far from their office and I already had meetings set up at work. I had a plan to move on that weekend, but because that lady left early, I could not sign a lease, and could not move-​in.
During weekend, I had to go to LA and I could not reach back in time on Monday, and my bad, I did not call them or inform them I am not coming. So on Tuesday, when I called their office, that lady started talking so rude and telling me that I am cancelling the lease. Her tone was so rude and insulting that no leasing office staff would ever use for a customer. She kept saying I should have called on Monday, I agree, but how unprofessional these guys are, that they close office 2 hours before on short notice and don’t care at all about their appointments.
I really don’t recommend this place, else you will be insulted big time, they really really don’t care you live there or not.

I moved in here a few months ago and have to say the person that says this place is unsafe and drives past the liquor store which is in the shopping complex next to here is insane. The 2 ladies at the front are incredible. I apartment shopped everywhere from San Jose through San Mateo and all East bay area and these ladies were the best by far. The price for the safer area is unrivaled. I challenge anyone to go here then find a better price. At Christmas time they lit up the place with decorations. As for the safety, Id say 70% of the place are families with small children. The rest are people like my girlfriend and I, young, quiet couples trying to find an affordable place to commute to work. The singles are .com web designer types, hardly people to hide from. Unilocal allows everyone to write reviews, which is the American way. But, someone throw out the Ers D. The washing is community, and I have come across a few broken machines, but there are 8 washing rooms, with 4 washers and 4 dryers in each. I have never had a problem, and I always wear clean clothes as a result. If you are apartment hunting, go visit Donna and Missy, get the rates, then go shopping EVERYWHERE! You will come back here and have money in your pocket after paying your rent each month.

I Stayed about 6 months because of lease agreement.
I will not recommend because of following reasons.(***PLEASE READ***)
1)NO SECURITY, after 6 difficult to come out
2)Lots of people lost their cloths at washing area including me 2 loads,
machines never works and if you’re lucky it works but middle it stops
3) I think some mental guys walk here and there they take out the plugs at wash area.
4)Lots of CATS, Kids will scare like anything.
5) Rent cheap but very very very cold inside, no heater at bed room, first day it is like hell.
6)it is close to rach market, some bad smell comes whole day
7)It is close to liquor shop, I had a bad experience, from that day onwards I always go by car to cross that shop which is not even 3 min walk.
8)in my 6 months stay, people lost their CAR’s, people steal valuable things which are inside the car and some mental guys break the glasses also.
Please don’t join, the rent wise it may be cheap 200 but it is hell

I lived here for 1 year, the apartment itself is pretty old, but well maintained with a dedicated staff who will attend the calls any time. They usually fix the issue in less than an hour. I can give 5 stars just for the management there. The 2 women are friendly and accommodating.
The place is a bit dusty but its the same every where in Fremont.
They dont charge un-​reasonable charges when you move out.

Basic apparments (no fru-​fru club house or gym), beautiful outside, nice and neat inside, clean, well maintained.
NEED TO KNOW
I did some major shopping aroudn before moving in and I foudn out that all appartments in the 5 mile radius of Northgate Savoy were made by the same contractor, so the layout is the same. Northgate has the best rental prices, if you are willing not to have a fancy gym & club house.
