Deco Apartments

"I have appreciated the location, amenities, and helpful and caring staff at DECO. The apartments are also new(ish) and are aesthetically appealing. The lobby is warm and welcoming and offers coffee in the mornings and a cozy fire which is a great environment to work if you work remotely!"

"I have lived in this place for a little over a year. And although Nancy R. was awesome and very helpful, professional, the general manager is shady. I had an incident in which his son in law damaged my vehicle and he wanted to pin the fees to replace my back window by cutting rent, instead of he paying it himself. Of course I declined. While I was there, on 2 occasions packages were stolen from the mail room. Constantly random packages would disappear - you now what they would say “file a claim with whoever you bought it from” - I mean it’s your mailroom, it’s responsibility to replace a stolen package, not mine. I didnt realize how bad this place was until I moved to Cortland Alameda Station. Hence the scores online being much better for Cortland. I personally know someone who had their bike stolen from the balcony on the third floor. Just last week, at DECO they had a swarm of cops, even the SWAT team was present. It’s an absolute unsafe community. Apparently they had someone get stabbed in the hallway, even yellow police tape was up secluding the area. This is a place full of university kids. If you are looking for an adult community, or a place for your family, stay away from this place. One time I went to retrieve my mail, and someone took a dump on the corner of the mail room and it didn’t get cleaned till the next day. They have fees up the wazoo, and again I didn’t realize that until after I moved how transparent apartments can be. They even force you to pay a VIP trash, $30 a month."

"lived here for 15 months. Mrs.Nancy is the sweetest most understanding lady I’ve ever met. It’s rare that you run into an assistant property manager that actually cares about her residents. Im going to miss her tremendously. The apartment was lovely, never had any issues, maintence was helping as well as front staff. Would recommend to anyone 10/10"

"I lived at deco for a little over a year and here are some things I wish I knew before moving in: - the place is pretty secure with fobs and the gate. Sometimes people do get in but overall I felt very safe there - people had their cars broken into ALL the time. Cars were not safe and there were often accidents happening in the garage. - the mail situation is awful. There are lockers but if the lockers are full your package gets thrown into a mailroom. It’s a free for all and anyone can take anything from the mailroom if they have access. We had a few packages get lost or stolen and management did nothing to recover them. - the pool and hot tub are very nice and a lovely amenity. - any of the limited grass in the area is complete covered in dog poop. There is poop everywhere at all times. It was always smelly and little was done to keep up with it. - the walls are incredibly thin. I’d have one or two friends over and recieve a complaint every time. We weren’t extremely loud and this would be in the evening around 9pm. - it’s a nicer place to live but there isn’t really a sense of community, people mostly kept to themselves, which is totally fine if that is what you are interested in. - the kitchen appliances and flooring were all really nice and held up well during my time there. Overall I don’t really believe the price is worth what you are getting, but it is we a nice apartment."

"I had just recently moved into the Deco apartments (less than a week), and I wanted to give a huge shout-out to Nancy Richardson. She has been the nicest, most helpful person and the reason for me making the move here. Nancy is courteous, professional, and extremely helpful. She always made time for me even when she was busy with other tenants or getting ready to leave for the day, and…made me feel like I was the most important person when speaking with me. I did bug her a lot with questions, and she never seemed to mind. Her attitude and demeanor was always fun and easy going. I am happy that she is the assistant manager with her open and very thoughtful perspectives."
