Marina Apartments

These apartments are nice to live in when you are in the top floor the bottom floor hears all also the management staff isn’t to helpful, when I moved out they tried to charge for things that were already fucked up when i moved in.
over all I would not move back in to these apartments, they cost of living here is more then its worth.

I feel like people who would complain about this place are from a little Modesto bubble that doesn’t know what the outside world has to offer in terms of living arrangements. Rent was competitive, with a 2 bed 2 bath for about $ 1040 with 2 pets. That’s unheard of where I’m from.
The real star here was management. Don’t get me wrong, my wife and I were good tenants, but we lived there for 13 months so there were obviously times when we had issues. Sadie was an excellent manager who listened patiently and followed up consistently. She spoiled us because now we live in a place that never answers the phone!
Andrew was on maintenance — he doesn’t work there anymore but shout out to him anyway for making our living there so much easier.
Some things about the AREA though:
— There are dumpster divers. Just be warned.
— My car was broken into a couple of times; again, a hazard of the area, not the fault of the Marina.
— Near a lot of cool restaurants.

My boyfriend and I currently looking for apartments around town. We decided to look at The Marina because it looked modern, and in our budget. I give this one star with pride and a hint of EFF you. Worst service ever. We left our apptoinment feeling genuinely sad and broken hearted. Our young spirits stepped on and spit on. Upon arriving to the office we weren’t greeted or told, «hey I’ll be right with you.» Instead I got to witness Cruella de Vil. ripping a new one to the person over the phone. The actual lady that helped us didn’t even introduced herself or apologized for being late. Did she even work there? Not too sure, no introduction. She didn’t offer us to take a seat and explain application, rent, pet policy, etc. She didn’t even ask what we were looking for or how we were doing. I could have had a heart attack and she probably would have kept going or stepped over me. I doubt she took us seriously about leasing an apartment there. She explained everything fast as we were walking through a bunch of guys leaf blowing the place! I asked one question and then I felt whats the point, if shes not even going to put effort into it. So sad. Apartments are nice but our first impression of management has brutally destroyed this place for us. Just as a heads up for anyone looking into these apartments.

The worst experience ever! Do not rent from this over priced crap apartments! The lady next door had 6 kids and had the nerve to complain about everyone surrounding her! Obviously had no life! Our rent was $ 1000 a month! We heard everything through those walls. I had to leave before my lease was up it was that bad! The main office and management is so bored and nosey. they have nothing better to do than gossip and type out letters to post on your door everytime you came home from work. They painted the walls a pretty color on the inside and the outside looks like it’s about to fall apart and they want to call it a luxury apartment! Lmao
Fix the spa! It’s part of am entities you offer but was there almost a year and it never was working!

Let me just begin by saying that I have better things to do with my time than to write a HORRIBLE review about these lousy apartments. However, the truth of the matter is that I believe my review may prevent other people from making the horrible decision of moving into such a horrible place. My experience at the Marina Apartments was less than satisfactory. When we moved into the apartment the carpets were already in bad condition, the counters were okay, the cabinets were okay, the floor was scratched, it was not a brand new apartment. It was in okay condition. When we moved out of the apartment it was in the same condition as when we arrived except for ONE spot on the carpet and I cleaned the apartment thoroughly. When I recieved my deposit back for only $ 40.00 I was enraged. How could someone possibly charge me $ 740.00 to replace an entire apartments carpet over ONE stain. It did not make sense and it did not matter to Sheila the manager. SHEILA is the most unreasonable and rude professional I have ever come across. She makes absolutely no sense and her arguments lack logic, it is impossible to have a conversation with her! Also, while we lived there we had a problem with the AC. It had been leaking for months I requested that someone go fix it because I was afraid to start breathing in mold. 4 months later their AC guy came out and fixed it and sure enough there was black mold oozing out.
The list goes on but I hardly doubt anyone is still reading. The point is stay out if you can this place will disappoint you.
The only good thing about this place is their maintenance guy. He is the only person who actually does their job.

Our year at this apartment complex was a nightmare. The walls are thin and could hear everything from the people downstairs and outside. The maintenance workers would come very early with power equipment like leaf blowers. Never could use the second story balcony because with all of the leaves falling from the trees and was constantly cleaning them off. The gutters were never cleaned out and full of leaves causing leaking water to spill onto the balcony every time it rained. We had a westward apartment meaning it was dark for most of the day and hot meaning we had to use the air conditioner constantly and artificial lights. This made the energy bills average $ 300 a month. I do not recommend this apartment complex. Not to mention the recent increase in rent. Found a nice 4 bedroom house for just $ 100 a month more in a nice neighborhood. The last straw was we did not receive a single penny back on our deposit for replacement of linoleum. This with two adults who took off their shoes at the door and only spent the evening, no kids, no pets.
