The Panoramic Berkeley
Apartment building
🫤 The building is a blight on the neighborhood. Local residents dislike it. Part of the reason is it blocks the view of the Berkeley Hills, but also because of the noisy rooftop parties. Because it is taller than most buildings to the west, the sound from rooftop parties travels far. This makes the te...

Sterling Berkeley Collection - Oxford
Student housing center
😠 Kept my security deposit beyond the 21 day legal requirement in California. Tried to make illegal deductions from my security deposit until I emailed them evidence of the apartment in good condition. Management was super non-responsive during the lease signing and move-in process.

Jones Berkeley
Apartment rental agency
👍👍 I have only been here for less than one week, but so far the place is excellent. It feels secure, my neighbors that I have met seem friendly and welcoming, and the apartment is great. Everything just works. The AC in the unit is very strong, the unit is very new and clean, the arrangement is good. D...

1122U
Apartment complex
👍👍 We ended up not choosing this apartment because it wasn't a good fit for us, but I want to highlight how professional Christina was during the whole apartment viewing process. She was very clear and thorough in her communication when she introduced the rooms/amenities, and she even prepared a docume...

Avalon Berkeley
Apartment rental agency
😠 There are definitely things I would want to know as a new tenant. Dustin and Anna who people mention in other reviews don't work here anymore. Anna was an excellent manager, but now if you want help you have to use an app. Second, if you decide you need to leave, beware of the “Early Termination Cha...

Aquatic Fourth Street
Apartment rental agency
😠 I have lived there for a year, I’d have to say that the previous managing company was GREAT! The staff were all very nice and friendly! They respond fast and suggest very helpful tips for me! However, in around April 2022, they’ve transferred to a Greystar company something like that? Then the manag...

Varsity Berkeley
Apartment complex
👍 Great experience overall. The best part is the management and the staff, they are extremely professional, helpful, and amicable. The amenities including the rooftop, the lounge and fireplace, the coffee machines, printers, the ping-pong table, etc are all accessible and functional and provide great...

The Durant
Apartment rental agency
😠 If you’re checking Berkeley apartments out and their reviews, I would notice which reviews for The Durant have the most likes and genuine substance, and which ones seem to review the apartment prior to even living there. It’s weird that the only reviews are either 5 stars or 1 star and little in-bet...

The Standard at Berkeley
Student housing center
😠 I experienced two incidents where the office neglected to fix the entrance and a non-resident snuck into the building and jumped out at me (one of them unclothed). The office told me they reported the incident to police and would update me about the case. After several weeks of waiting, I took matte...

Modera Berkeley
Apartment complex
😠 Great location; clean apartment. However, extremely unresponsive and unprofessional staff + service. Wont respond to email and phone calls, unless there is an opportunity for them to make money. They will try to extract as much money from you by as many means as possible. When we wanted to handover...

Parker Apartments
Apartment rental agency
👍 I feel obliged to give this complex some credit where credit is due. I moved here about a month ago with some minor reservations having read the reviews about the management team. When I arrived mid-September, I had a chance to meet the new property manager who had started that week. He was incredib...

IDENTITY Logan Park
Apartment building
😠 Many of the accommodations are nice but the management is unacceptable. For the second time now the hot water in the building has gone out, this time for every resident, and the building manager left 15 minutes ago and won’t return till the morning to start organizing repairs. We will be without hot...

K Street Flats
Apartment complex
😠 For more than a year, every single Friday night at midnight, there have been unfriendly residents who let in a dozen of external college/high school kids and hold extremely disturbing parties with super high noise, screamings and loud music for HOURS. The entire community was suffering from these pe...

The Mint Townhomes
Apartment complex
👍👍 I’ve been living here coming on a year now and I have not had any complaints. The new leasing manager has been a tremendous life saver especially when my air went out. She is very understanding and will go above and beyond to make sure her tenants have what they need. The complex itself is a wonderf...

Higby
Apartment rental agency
😠 Consider this place only if the property manager, Samm, is replaced. During our 6-month stay here, Samm consistently displayed rude behavior and lacked effective communication skills. On the bright side, the location is convenient and the amenities are decent, Rudy the maintenance team member is an...

Fourth & U Apartments
Apartment complex
😠 If the Eagles were writing their music today, they would have written Hotel California on this absolute dumpster fire of a place.
First things first, the maintenance team for the place is great. Dominic and his folks were always responsive and friendly. That's the only redeeming quality of this pla...

Courtyard Gardens
Apartment complex
😠 I love my apartment and they did a great job listening to what I was wanting for location within the complex of my apartment. Nice and quiet (majority of the time) which is perfect for my early schedule and my rescue dog. Awesome price for what you receive! Only complaint is that some other tenants...
