Regency Square Apartments

Noisy apartments being right next to Blacow and Central, and there’s a lot of motorcycle traffic on both these streets, even at 2 AM.
And the management is terrible. I lived there for three months and they charged me $ 2,000 for damage to the property. And you cannot escalate the issue to anyone. Manager is prosecutor, judge and appeals court!
Stay away from this place. Spend your hard earned $‘s elsewhere.

This place has its ups and downs like all places, but I have to give 1 star because they constantly harass their good tenants about small issues, while turning a blind eye to bigger ones. For example, the gold camry parked in front of 157. They constantly smoke and scream within 20 ft of windows (illegal!) and blast their music at 2 in the morning while entering the complex.
Another example is when they sent a letter to enter the premise to check leaks and smoke detectors, but did neither. They were essentially using it as an excuse to snoop through people’s homes.
There are scarier more ghetto tenants that park in guest parking year round (silver honda civic with a «baby on board») and they clearly have not been punished. My boyfriend visits twice a month (I go to him because of all the bullshit in this complex) and they lecture him on how he can’t live there without being on the lease, and how he can’t use guest parking if he lives there. He doesn’t live there!
The older plump blonde manager, lets call her B, is an idiot with no life and will harass you to death. I work hard 50 hour weeks and don’t want to be bothered by little crap. She needs to bother the people who lay around all day breaking bigger rules and making this expensive (1950 two bedrooms) place into a trashy one.

The only reason I give this place two stars is because the rent is way to high for this place there is no AC and with that not much ventilation through these apartments they are very stuffy even if you open the few windows you have. the shower has no window so it heats up the whole room there is hardly any parking my guest always have to park across the street. Even though there is a washer and dryer it takes me about a week to get done with only one basket of laundry because they are so tiny. The back sliding doors aren’t the right size and don’t open all the way. The people in the office and management are super friendly though. The maintenance kinda sucks they half ass whatever they fix. The apartments are nice but not 2,300 a month nice. I can rent a house for that much and have ac. Lol

I’ve lived here almost a year. Management is responsive and it is a quiet., clean place. Unfortunately they are owned by a corporation which has raised the rent almost 14%. I wondered why folks were moving out in droves. Also they pre rent their units, so once you give your notice to vacate there is no changing your mind.

At the beginning I thought this is a decent apartment when searching for an apartment in Fremont; because it had 100% positive reviews on this website in April. However, after stayed there for less than four months and moved out on Sep. 1^st, I realized that the manager there is a jerk!
I agree that the maintenance was good and before you move out everything appears good. Although they only provide a single free parking lot for each apartment (even if our apartment has 2 bedrooms), although my roommate lost a wheel for his bike in the yard, I still originally thought the apartment was not too bad.
However, after moving out, they refused to return any deposit to us, although the total amount was $ 730. In addition, they wanted to charge us extra $ 1000+ !!! You can contact me if you don’t believe that. And I can provide you the item list showing why they charge us that much money.
The thing is before we moved out, we asked some staff from the leasing office to give us an initial inspection because we need to leave early in the morning the following day. During the initial inspection, the person only told us we should clean everything and we may be charged for some extra cleaning and carpet cleaning. But there is no need to do painting because the walls look OK to her. We thought that is reasonable even if we cannot get all $ 730 back. However, after our moving out, the manager did a final inspection. She marked everything should be repainted just because of the «permanent food odor»!!! Here are my complaints:
(1) In the initial inspection, we didn’t intentionally conceal anything. We were cooking when the person came. She didn’t mention anything about the food odor. How should we know the food odor is a problem?
(2) We only used the kitchen in a regular way for less than four months. We didn’t actually smell anything. She said there is permanent food odor, but she cannot provide any proof. Why should we trust her and pay for the $ 1570 total painting?
(3) There are tons of ways to remove odor from an apartment listed on the website. But none of them is about total painting. Why did they pick the most expensive way to solve the problem, if they think the odor is a problem? If they tear down the apartment in order to remove the odor, should we also pay for that?
I tried to dispute about the charge with them, but they ignored everything I mentioned and refused to charge less. The manager also threatened to turn to collection service for help and if we don’t pay the money on time, our credit history will be affected. We are international students. And we don’t stay in CA most of the time. Maybe these are the reasons why they are so rude to us. But those should not be the reason for us to give in.
Therefore, I write this review for the people who care about their security deposit and credit history. Take care! They may lie to you before you move out and charge you as much as possible after your moving out.

2007 – 2009 I lived there. I was happy with my apartment. A two bed two bath apartment on the first floor facing blacow. I didn’t hear much noise in the apartment. Yes you can hear people upstairs because they had a kid that would run around. Anyway, you live in an apartment, that’s what you are going to get anyway! Its a gated community. But… there is no parking for your guests at all… so they have to park across the street! We have had a couple of instances where someone else was parked in our spot! It happens quite often there. Due to the fact of guest parking and lack of. The staff there was nice. I had no issues. I liked the privacy of the patio. There rooms are decent sizes. After a year we upgraded to a three bed paying $ 1700. They have washer and dryer in the units, which is always a +. One thing I do know once we moved out, they take most of your deposit even though you hire your own carpet cleaning guy and you clean the apartment, they still will do it themselves and charge for it! So if you are thinking about living here, we had no real issues…
