Adobe Wells

I would suggest reading the not recommended review for Adobe Wells. It may sound paranoid, but the grain of truth that sprouted that dandelion patch is sitting all around the park now, in the form of «No Parking. Fire Lane» signs that are more of a tripping hazard to residents than a proper Vehicle Code enforcement tool. In addition, ownership has authorized Morris & Sons towing company to troll the park, ²⁴⁄₇ to tow any vehicles they (the towing company) consider illegally parked. Having those darn trucks speed by less than 10′ from my windows @ midnight is not conducive to the «upscale» environment that BSM is trying to promote within its properties. Some of us are wondering if they’re going to hire a private security service next, to go around and issue tickets to residents for infractions.
Nobody has mentioned that Levi’s Stadium is right down the street and that the only entrance to Adobe Wells is via Tasman Drive, so that on «Event Days», 49er home games, concerts, etc, we either are trapped inside by traffic or stuck waiting outside to get back home.
If you depend on internet service, your only option here for high speed broadband is Comcast cable. Period. DSL speeds do not go beyond basic service; afaik, nobody is planning any service improvements for this block.
As for the schools, even though this park is in Sunnyvale, it belongs to the Santa Clara Unified School District. (hoo boy!) Even though Lakewood and Fairwood Elementary schools are literally just blocks away our designated school is George Mayne Elementary, in Alviso (!) which is currently (and has been for a while) designated a P1 school.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’ve lived in Sunnyvale for over 35 years and this isn’t the worst place, by far, that I’ve ever lived. It’s not easy to get this square footage of living space at this price anywhere in the valley. But you need a thick skin.

Luis and staff make this a beautiful, friendly, and safe place to live.
Furthermore, all community policies are introduced to you at an interview when applying for residency, so there are no surprises as to what is expected of residents.
As a single woman, I feel safe and comfortable here.
Thank you, Luis and staff for all the hard work that you do!

We have lived here for 8 months now, and love it. It’s peaceful, safe, well maintained. The gardens are beautiful, the facilities are great. We’ve met a lot of nice neighbors. Great place for families. My kids like the assigned school too (George Mayne Elementary)

Recommendation for all Adobe residents that want to sell their home. HAVE YOUR RESALE INSPECTION BEFORE THE OFFICE INTERVIEWS THE NEW BUYER. I recently sold my home at Adobe Wells. As you are all aware Adobe inspects your space once a year generally around end of June. My things to do were 1. cutting back the shrubs on the side of the house, 2. replace the bark to gorilla bark and 3. wash the outside of the carriage. My home went for sale between Aug/​Sep’ (only 2 months after my annual inspection) I gave Adobe Wells 6 weeks prior to sell my intent to sell my home. Luis interviewed the new buyer (for three hours) of my home before he did the resale inspection. The resell inspection this time included to replace my carpets on the porch and on the stairs in the car port. Just to note I’ve replace the carpet on the carport a year ago. As most homes sell «AS IS» so when the inspection gets done after the interview, the Adobe office can add items to the list to make it more attractive to the new buyer. Who knows why Luis waited 4 weeks to do the resale inspection and why he decided to add «replace carpet» on the form. I personally feel that it is bordering on unethical business practice.
In general I enjoyed my stay and I generally had a good relationship with the office and their employees.
Again, when you want to sell your home, make sure you get your resale inspection done as soon as you give the office the notice of intent.

You can have dogs but you can’t walk them.
You can have guests but they can’t park in guest parking.
If you have a «long term guest» they still can’t park in guest parking.
Angry geese have inhabited the pond that will attack you.
Can’t have guests join you in the pool.
Management is extremely rude.
Where’s the dislike button?
Things will be stolen from your property ie: bikes, children toys and equipment.
Your car will also be broken into trashed and hot boxed in your own drive way!

I love the community. There is stuff to do for everyone. For the most part everyone is friendly :) I look forward to raising our son here!

Update: So I moved in on June 16^th, before i got my rent bill i already got a notice that my rent space was going up… really? For new buyers the space rent already went higher and now it just went up again??? Before we even got our first rent bill? So i turn in mine and my roomates checks to pay for the rent, and then we get it returned to us today, apparently they cannot accept checks from people outside of tendency (my roomate even though she has filled out an application and everything to live here in the park). They knew about her, couldn’t they have told us this before? This is such an inconvenience. This is a quite park and i love it here but just these couple of things made me update my review because of these inconveniences.
