Park View Terrace Apartments

Fantastic management! The office manager, Pam, is EXTREMELY friendly and approachable. If you ever have any issues at all, she is the one to contact. She even gives out her personal cell phone number if you need to call her outside business hours for emergencies.
Maintenance is also done in a timely fashion, sometimes even the same day you put in the work order. The grounds are always well maintained, as is the pool.
Residents are friendly more often than not. There’s even an annual summer bbq at the pool and an annual holiday buffet dinner in the lobby. Nice way to meet other residents!
There is underground parking for one car per unit, and the garage is clean, safe, and accessible only with your entry key. There are extra parking spaces in the front for a second car, or for visitors.
As far as rent, the rates here are lower than average for the Peninsula.
The complex is in a quiet residential neighborhood of San Mateo, near Safeway (less than a mile), College of San Mateo, and the Laurelwood Shopping Center (down the street). CSM also has a weekly Farmers’ Market, if you want to shop there.
Residents are well-​taken care of at Park View Terrace, and I would highly recommend it!

My hubby and I have had a great experience during our time at Parkview Terrace. The management is great — we’ve only had pleasant interactions and they are very responsive. The grounds are always clean and, most importantly, you can’t beat the location. The complex is nestled in a quiet, residential area of San Mateo. :)

No!!! Management is inconsistent and creates rules on the fly.

Management here is fantastic! Anytime we put in a work order whether it be something minor or bigger they are super fast to fix it, sometimes even the same day before I am home from work. The office staff and maintenance are very friendly. They even accept packages for you if you are at work and keep them in the office till you can pick them up.
The location is great for me and the hubby as I work in SF and he works in the South Bay. I love San Mateo itself and being here you can get to all parts without driving on 101. I can even walk to the farmer’s market at CSM on Weds or Sat or to Piazza/​Safeway for groceries.
We are lucky enough to have an end apartment on the third floor with a great view of the bay and the San Mateo Bridge. On clear days we can see the East Bay. Fireworks on the 4^th were fun to watch.
As mentioned, there is a pool, sauna (never used it though) small weight room, extra storage and covered gated parking.
We originally had a 1 bedroom and when our family expanded we were able to move to a 2 bedroom 1 ½ bath over 1000 sq ft. There are lots of closets which I of course have filled.
