Pacific Gardens Apartments

I lived on Ray St. and that building had MAJOR pluming issues and a hot water pipe busted in the bedroom. The customer service it GREAT Ranika the property manager absolutely cares about doing her job correctly. She was extremely understanding about my frustration. We lived there from Feb 2013-​July 2014. My husband and i decided to move back but this time to a different building. The great thing about these complex is that they only have up to 10 units in each building. Of course some of these units can be upgraded however you are paying for the location. Part of the reason why we chose to come back is because of the wonderful customer service Ranika provides.

I’m actually at the PG apartments on Mississippi. The apartment was sparkling clean at move in.
Craig Anderson is the best. As a manager he is organized and to echo Leah, the most compassionate person I met since looking for apartments. I love the apartment and the quiet. Really friendly neighbors. Now. about the parking :)

Even though I was only there for a few months, I absolutely loved my experience living in apt 1 on 32^nd st. The apartment was cozy, the complex was quiet and I loved the fact that I was within walking distance to basically everything; It was also really nice to have such an awesome landlord! Craig was always there if I ever needed anything and he made the whole moving out process so easy for me. He even helped me find someone to take over my lease!
I would definitely recommend to rent from him. If I ever need another apartment he will be the first person I call!
:]

I have lived at Pacific Gardens for 2 years now and am signing my lease for year 3. I love it here. I have lived at both 4035 Hamilton and 3962 Hamilton and have loved my experience here. Repairs are done quickly and the manager Craig is the most compassionate and helpful person I have met. Im staying with Pacific Gardens specifically for him. The apartments are big and the complex is well taken care of. Theyre older units but they are in great shape and a place you can make your home. Thank you Craig for everything you have done and Im excited for another year here.

DO NOT RENT FROM PACIFIC GARDENS APTS., ESPECIALLY NOT AT 4043 HAMILTON STREET #4 !!
They don’t care about your safety and welfare; they just want your money. I lived in this unit for over 5 years, and the turnover rate at this building is incredible; someone is always moving out. If you care about your safety, do not rent here!!! The front gate hasn’t locked in months (you can just pull it open) and they won’t fix it, even after I told them about it. My car was broken into in the back alley, which is a major traffic area for transients. The spaces back there are so small that my car is full of door dings down both sides. I’ve had several leaks in my kitchen that took them multiple tries over months to fix, my heater has never worked, the front buzzer doesn’t work, my hot water has gone out, and it flooded in the last big rains. A HOMELESS MAN HAS A KEY TO THE BACK GATE, which SDG&E uses for the meters, which is directly outside my back door. They know about this and haven’t fixed the problem. The stairs to the units across from me aren’t secure, so those could crumble down at any time. The washer/​dryers have broken several times, the mailboxes blow open in the wind, and you can hear every squeak and flush from the unit above.
Save yourself the hassle and stay away!

AVOID THIS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT if at all possible!!!
I moved out of my apartment on Alabama Street after 5 ½ years. I also spent 11 hours cleaning an apartment and they still managed to charge me $ 140 to clean up after their painters and carpet installers which is complete BULLSHIT! It would take forever to get a response from them when repairs were needed… to the point that I would have to get nasty with them, none of the repairs that they promised to make were ever done, the stairs were literally crumbling and are so a lawsuit waiting to happen (I can’t wait until someone sues the shit out of them for something but I don’t want anyone to get hurt). During the 5 ½ years I had 2 of my friends as roommates which the manager lost not one but BOTH of their applications and everything else that ultimately led to them never getting on the lease. How the hell does that happen two times? Another time the manager (who is likely in Betty Ford or panhandling somewhere for Two Buck Chuck) was so hammered when we had to call in the middle of the night because of an emergency had no recollection of the conversation. The very next day she came pounding on our door at 7 AM screaming and making accusations that were untrue. One of them being that we were having a party one night and we had been in Vegas!!! They’re getting $ 250 LESS per month now than what they tried to raise our rent to. Assholes!
At any rate… you’d have better luck living on the corner of urine and drive-​by in a wet cardboard box than in one of these properties!!! I wish you could give 0 or negative stars… Unilocal needs to fix that!!!
