Park Place By the Bay

"If you’re Brazilian, think before you move here. Staff hate Brazilian (prejudice/segregation), I make the EXACT SAME request as my hispanic neighbors and they promptly attend their request, but not mine. Communication may be hard with staff as many do not speak English, Spanish only, but we learned to speak English and Spanish to be able to communicate with them (besides Portuguese, so it is good for us as we can speak 3 languages now!) Heavy insects infestation (wood is falling apart and also you have to be extremely cautious about roaches! Urrghhh) Good: staff can be friendly sometimes (the guys from maintenance), pool is OK, gyms to. Beautiful orchids by the dog walk area."

"I have been asking for this tub to be fixed over a year. The day they came to finally try and fix it, they left a letter stating we had to be out of the apartment for 24 hours. How the hell do you expect someone to be out of the apartment for 24 hours WITHOUT prior notice? The management is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!! Always trying to have answers that don't make sense. They change the website without notice. Went to pay the rent and because they changed it WE had to pay an addition $200.00 for their mistake! They are non apologetic and make every excuse to make it seem its your fault. The elevators are constantly broken! there are over 400 units with 4 elevators and most of the time there are just 2 working at a time. The hallways smell like straight up piss! The pool is infested with black cats and smell horrible! There are a lot of issues but don't have space to list them all. DONT MOVE HERE!!!!"

"In my 1 1/2 years of living in this building, only two elevators works. If even that. Sometimes only one works and there are 30 floors. The laundry is ridiculously high, roaches everywhere, no guest parking, and bad security. Anyone could come in the building, especially since there are a lot of homeless people around the area and the building is by the clubs. I will say, their maintenance team is very good."

"When I lived there it was a nice place and well kept. However there was always a problem with the elevator, no visitor parking available, they only assign 1 parking spot even for a 2 bedroom apartment, you would need to pay for an additional parking spot, no washer and driver in unit (they have laundry rooms) and one time my delivery was stolen from outside my door, so poor security. This was 2 years ago. And they have now raised their rent ridiculously. The pros: nice views, convenience store downstairs, pool, and great location."

"I've been at Park Place 4 years now and have truly enjoyed my time. From the Leasing Office to the Management office with Security and Maintenance in between, all the staff have been friendly, considerate, and professional. Leo has always held up the rules in a fair manner and his staff from Maria on down uphold those standards. The building itself is older, but it's well taken care of. It has two gyms that are functional and provide you a space to work up a sweat if necessary. The pool area is pretty large and has BBQ areas as well for you to entertain family/guests. So far in these 4 years, I haven't had any issues with my neighbors, as a matter of fact, I can't remember ever having an issue with anyone in the building. That says something about the screening process from the leasing office. Great job. Lastly, the views are pretty awesome especially if you're on the north side of the building! add to that the enormous balcony and you've got a great personal outdoor space in the middle of the city. If there was one negative about my experience is the fact that you're not allowed to purchase the apartment, because if I could, I would do it in a heartbeat."
