Iris Park Apartments

Do not rent here. The price is cheap, space is small, the manager is terrible and communication is not there strong point. It seems like they are always doing something with the water here. I’ll come home turn on the faucet and get sprayed with water and what you say no note on the door saying they shut it off. Well today after about a dozen times of getting sprayed by my faucet they finally said there will be service interruption. Another thing is when they leave you a note on the door it out for everyone to read your business, you can’t afford an envelope to place it in? Then after you get the note taped to your door your get another one mailed to you. There is always someone parked in the red zone of the driveway so pulling out is like rolling the dice, you don’t know if a car is coming. Bottom line, you will regret renting here unless it is for a very short time, like fining a better place than here. I would rather camp out in someone’s back yard than live here.

As others have stated, Iris Park blows… i mean really, this place is an awful apartment… To the lady who gave this place a 4 star rating, you must be crazy or have never owned anything nice in your entire life… I would never try to fool myself into thinking its a good place… from the sound of you’re post, you must be one of Nina’s friends… for all of you who dont know, thats the managers name just in case you want to try to get a unit at this dump. Lets clear something up though… Yes, there is a maximum occupancy here that is listed on the lease and NO, we did not exceed that amount. The max for 2 bdrms here is 5 people which is what we had… we never recieved a single complaint for anything… we paid rent on time. We treated our neighbors and the manager with respect. Funny thing is, my family has been in property managment for 15 yrs and this manager really does not know what she is doing or just doesnt care… I know i may sound like im bashing but i didnt log in to re instate what my wife Sorrell has already posted. Julie, i like your attempt to try and bump this place up from a 1 star rating, but in all honsety if the place was as good as you think it is, wouldnt the building get better reviews? It rates low on many aprtment review sites and its for a reason. BEWARE people.

I lived here for a year and have no intention of moving for a while so lets go over the basics.
Pros:
–Its cheap. You can’t really find 1BR or 2BR apartments for cheaper in the area.
–Its safe. Haven’t seen a break in, I have seen 1 cop in the actual building but it seemed like he was there for a evictee to leave.
–Water/​Trash is free.
–Gross looking stagnant pool is now gone
–On site laundromat (people take that for granted I know)
–Easy to set up Comcast lines (my installer was in and out in 5 minutes)
Cons:(they exsist)
–Mold: Constantly cleaning it, the windows aren’t weather proof but I see no reason to call an official in unless I get sick.
–Noise. Family’s live in a lot of the apartments. They have kids. I tune them out but I fail to see why they would want to play on concrete when a perfectly good park is a block away. The shape of the building doesn’t help as sound echoes. Walls and floors are also not suitably noise proof so expect to hear some creepy doors opening and closing every night. But hey, that’s life.
–Meh Management: When you can find her, she gets the job done. She keeps strict business hours so good luck trying to find her on a weekend or after 5PM.
–2 Pronged Electrical sockets: Its an old building so these are slowly getting switched out but the majority of the sockets will be 2 pronged. Be prepared.
–Shoddy Mailboxes: Most are missing their labels. The outgoing box is open to the public so anybody can reach in and take mail without anybody knowing better. I will never send mail from there. Period.
–Laundromat closes early: 8PM is pretty early for a guy who gets home at 6PM. They get the job done however once you learn to balance your loads.
Small things: Closet doors are weird, so are some of the cabinet doors. Fridge is generally small but I’ve only had an issue with it since my GF brought it up. Lighting is horrible at night but there is enough. Hallways are slippery after rain. A group of homeless frequent the garbage dumpsters.
My apartment still smells like curry… I don’t eat curry 8|
All in all:
This place has its failings. No one is going to argue that. I wish there was a public conduit to talk to the property owners to improve things but I have been unable to find a good enough avenue. However right now it is the finite definition of you get what you pay for. I hope this review can help.
PS: Ignore the ⁹⁄₇ review. I guarantee she got kicked for having more than 6 people in her place.

You know what? The previous poster is obviously one of the tenants who have been asked to leave after MULTIPLE requests to not let their family members/​friends set up camp in their living rooms and kitchens. It’s amazing how many people live in some of the apartments here. The lease clearly states the number of occupants allowed in a unit. As far as the management, yeah they are tough, but they have to be with tenants in this precarious price range. You get what you pay for here. No it’s not 5 star living, but in this area of Sunnyvale, the average «nice and modern» 2 – 3 bedroom apartment is easily between $ 2500-​$ 3000. So quit your bitching about affordable housing in a nice neighborhood with good schools. Oh and my kids are the ones «screaming in the swimming pool during the summer». God forbid they have fun on a hot summer afternoon. No my family will not live here forever, but you get what you pay for… in this case it is no more or less than we expected.

I wish I could give this place a –100 billion stars. What ever you do, DO NOT rent here even though the price of the rent looks OH SO GOOD!!! This place is full of cons and has put so much stress on my family for 6 months now. And what do we get in our 5 month at this SHIT HOLE, a notice that our lease has terminated! Keep in mind we have never had an complaint or notice and have paid all of our rent on time. WE DO NOT DESERVE TO BE KICKED OUT for being good tenants. Let me get too the long list of cons of this dump.
CONSSSSSS!
–So much mold in our apartment, we have requested it to be cleaned in our first month living here because we are unable to reach certain areas. NEVER HAPPENED.
–I can’t even be in the living room at times because the stench of mold is too powerful.
–The carpet is not tacked on correctly, my sisters have had nails go into their feet!
–Doors don’t lock properly.
–2 prong outlets, you have to be all these converters. Why haven’t they updated this, beats me!
–The bathtub plug never worked
–Vandalism happens in the parking lot. They have tons of posters saying that surveillance is running 24 7. but in actuality there are no cameras!!!
–The design of the building causes everything to echo. So all throughout summer you will hear little kids screaming all day in that god damn pool.
–The vending machines will steal your money.
–The dryers don’t fucking dry your clothes.
–The rooms are small your 2 bedroom apartment is more like a 1 bedroom and a half. The 2^nd bedroom is the size of a fucking queen bed.
–The windows and walls are paper thin. I can hear everyone’s conversation outside of my window even if it’s closed. Babies are constantly crying at random hours of the night. I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THAT SHIT.
–You will see little two year olds running around without a parent in sight. There are tons of irresponsible parents who live here.
–My sisters have been yelled at by the manager to not run up the stairs. but when these 5 years olds are screaming on their bikes for a constant 20 mins she doesn’t tell them anything because they are her «friends» kids.
–I hate fucking seeing people in the garbage cans every day. That’s some low shittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
This place has cockroaches and bedbugs. Our unit doesn’t have bedbugs but they are here somewhere. They are constantly coming into are unit spraying for cockroaches. We have seen a couple, I suspect our neighbor has them because we are clean as fuck.
All and All, CORRUPT COMPANY, CORRUPT MANAGER. I think she has a virgin mary and a miror on her door for a reason because they are leading a very corrupt establishment.
We have no reason why we are being told to leave and when we ask we are given no ANSWER!
I FUCKING HATE THIS PLACE, i don’t even thinks words can describe I MUCH I HATE IT. but save yourself from all this negative energy that comes with living here. I swear no one is happy here.
I’m very happy to be out of this shithole! but wish i was able to leave when i wanted to which was going to be one month later.

This place is really dirty. The steps are all covered with stickey stuff and the units smell really bad.
