Bachenheimer 2119 University Avenue, Berkeley, CA 94704

"Egregious rudeness from leasing staff. We had scheduled a tour and 15 minutes after arriving at the scheduled time, we were still waiting. After checking in to see if our tour was still happening, the leasing agent became aggressive, insisting we came late and refused to tour us and threw my ID at me. I was appalled that a leasing agent at a premium property would behave in such a way. Tip for the leasing office: if you want people to lease from you, treat them with respect!"

"My wife and I have been living at Modera for a little over a year so far and we like it! Not only are we enjoying the fabulous location with all the restaurants, bars and public transport nearby; but also the brand new and stylish appliances in our home. Having an in home washer/ dryer was a huge plus for us when choosing the next place to live! The Leasing staff is always super friendly and helpful. Thanks for making us feel welcome no matter what. All in all a community I gladly recommend!"

"I've had nothing short of a wonderful experience living here for the past year and a half. Although there is construction surrounding the building, it's out of Bachenheimer's control and, everything they do handle, they handle excellently. The leasing staff has cycled through a number of temporary staff since I moved in but I've always had a positive experience with everyone I interacted with. Back in December 2020/January 2021, Mittra went above and beyond to help find the right unit for me. Today, Nicole and the other staff in the leasing office go out of their way to make sure the other residents and I have a positive resident experience. The common areas (hallways, elevator, laundry room, etc.) are cleaned regularly and the leasing office is open 7 days a week for assistance. Maintenance requests are handled promptly ("

"This apartment complex is very comfortable to live, the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. The location is very convenient to the school, to the dinning, and also good for walk. And many thanks to the staffs in the leasing office, both of them made my experience here very pleasant, they went through every step with me from application to move-in, they made my move-in process less stressful."

"Do NOT live here. With the new construction this building is basically boxed in between two other buildings which means 90% of units have no natural light and lots of construction noise. The second and perhaps most bothersome thing is the fact that this is a turn key service building and they charge you a ton for that. Each month you have ridiculous utilities expenses that are managed by the building ($60 trash fee, $60 sewage fee, $50 water, $50 water heating) on top of paying your own electric. This is not standard for most Berkeley apartments. Whatever you pay for rent you should add another $250-300 just for utilities. After moving out you also don't get back your "deposit" as they make egregious charges for cleaning and paint. Overall, you can find much better places to live in Berkeley for this price where you don't feel like you are being ripped off."
