Canyon View Apartments

My roommate and I have lived here for a year and a half and we both love Canyon View. We both agree that you really are getting the most bang for your buck at this complex compared to the nearby apartment complexes (ahemmm Mission Trails).
Beautiful area; Well maintained complex; Central heating and air; In unit washer/​dryer; Spacious unit; and the pool area is really amazing. The neighbors have been really quiet and the staff has always been very friendly and responsive as well.

Me and my wife lived there for almost a year, but we had to move out earlier since we became homeowners :)
Overall, the place is great, it looks like you are on vacations there. Great and warm swimming pool, bbq station by the pool and another one with the canyon view, the apartments are really good inside and cozy.
The parking spots are a bit small for bigger cars. The staff, Jared and Susan, are really friendly and always available to help you out!

Why would you have not one but TWO huge banners saying «NOW LEASING» and not be leasing? Got a bad vibe right away. I’ll take my money some where else.

Place is so quiet. Clean. Frendly neighborhood. Good view apartment with large balcony. I advise it to couples. And family who has a child’s. It has huge spaces for playing exactly for children

I can’t fault this apartment complex for most things you look for in a place to live. My only problem was with my downstairs neighbor, who was legitimately nuts and made it miserable to live here.
MANAGEMENT: ⁵⁄₅ stars (for Holly and Susan.)
The managers are responsive, nice, and sympathetic; two of them live on site. Holly and Susan are both AMAZING — they go above and beyond to help tenants out and are always available to listen to and respond to complaints.
MAINTENANCE: ⁵⁄₅ stars
They get jobs done quickly and efficiently, respect your privacy and personal space, and always clean up after themselves. I had very few maintenance issues at this apartment complex.
EXTERIOR: ⁴⁄₅ stars
The complex is attractive and clean. One minor problem is that the parking spaces are way too narrow — clearly they tried to cram some extra spaces in to relieve parking problems. So you end up getting your car door dinged sometimes, and squeezing in and our of the car quite a bit. But that’s better than the alternative, which is being left without a parking spot (this has happened to me at other apartment complexes I’ve lived in).
LOCATION: ⁵⁄₅ stars
Walking distance from Cowles Mountain, from grocery stores and pharmacies, and from other amenities. Down the street (3 – 5 min drive) from Starbucks, Albertsons, L.A. Fitness, banks, etc. Quiet area with a nice view of the nature preserve.
PRICE: ⁴⁄₅ stars
A bit pricy, but par for the area.
The reason for the 3 star review: for the past year and a half, our downstairs neighbor has been banging on our ceiling to complain about the «noise» upstairs. My husband and I are both working professionals. I get up early every morning and go to bed early at night. We have no children, no relatives staying with us. We are quiet. We watch TV, we talk. We don’t have parties, and I can’t remember a single time we EVER had anyone over because we do most of our socializing out at restaurants. My point being, you could do much worse for upstairs neighbors in an apartment complex close to SDSU.
To sum up: this apartment complex is great. But when you’re moving in, ask whether there have been any complaints about the surrounding units. I am sure this neighbor has been the subject of many complaints from past tenants, and it doesn’t look like management is able to get rid of her anytime soon. I know this is beyond their control, because eviction laws in California are very tenant-​friendly, but it is frustrating.
Proceed with caution.

Management is right. Unilocal reviews are not necessary, though I was hoping to find raving written reviews. This complex sells itself. Talk to any aI am going to be living here on a personal referral. Occupancy rate, as they claim, is around 98% and as a vacancy appears, the unit gets filled quickly. I thought it was rather overpriced, but the buildings were constructed in 2002 and everything is of quality. There’s a model for the 2-​bedroom version, gorgeous. Go see it even if you don’t plan on renting, just for interior decorating ideas. Lovely people. I especially am fond of the assistant manager. Having both management members living on site says a lot for the place alone.
