Curtner Square Apartments

I’ve lived at this apartment for a full year now, and I have had zero problems.
The complex is very quiet, and we have not experienced any disturbances. The unit was very clean when we moved in, and we haven’t needed any maintenance done except for one time when the sink incinerator stopped working (our manager fixed it same day).
My boyfriend and I also locked ourselves out a few times, and each time our landlady helped us get back in within a few minutes.
The 1 bedroom units are very spacious for two people (650 sqft), and get a ton of sunlight. The heating is very good, and it’s included in the price. It gets a little hot sometimes, but it’s usually fine if we open the window.
I’ve lived in about 6 apartments in the past 5 years, including a «luxury apartment» in santa clara, and this complex is easily the best one i’ve lived in.

Here’s an update to my previous review. There is no update. Apparently Unilocal has seen fit to filter my previous review warning people away from this rathole. Prospective tenants need to know what they are getting into if they move to this complex. Great job Unilocal– I DO NOT WORK FOR THESE PEOPLE OR FOR THEIR COMPETITORS. I’m sure you’ll filter this one too.

Curter Square is a cute little apartment complex in south Palo Alto. It is right in between Palo Alto and Mountain View downtowns, which I’ve always found really convenient. My husband and I lived here about a year and a half and were pretty happy with our choice. It is not a luxury complex, but the owner takes good care of it and it’s reasonably priced. We moved out because we wanted to reduce our commute.
— Apartment —
We were in a one bedroom apartment with a very large outdoor area. I wish the living room space was bigger, but it worked for our needs. The bedroom is fairly large and we were able to comfortably fit a king size bed as well as a desk and two dressers. The management upgraded to granite counter tops in the kitchen in 2009. Other parts of the kitchen were not updated, but functioned without any problem. There was plenty of storage with a large bedroom closet, two closets in the hallway, and a «harry potter» closet under the stairs. There was also an outside storage area next to the parking.
— Parking —
We had one assigned spot that came with the apartment and we were paying extra for another one. Parking on Curtner Ave can be hard to come by in the evening.
— Neighbors —
Unfortunately we did hear the neighbors above us from time to time especially when they let their kids run around like crazy. Otherwise this is a fairly quiet complex. I’ve never heard a loud party after 10pm here.
— Management —
Property manager lived on site and he always took care of any problems. He was very friendly, responsible, and quick.
— Laundry -
There were two laundry rooms on site with 2 washers and driers in each. It was $ 1.50 for each machine cycle. The laundry rooms were cleaned every so often, but not often enough for my liking. They did not clean the actual washers and driers and they would get a kind of dirty.
— Grounds —
There is a pool that is heated in the summer. It’s not big and we didn’t really use it. The grounds have mature landscape and the inner courtyard looks really nice.
