Union Plaza Apartments

"Lived here in a studio for several years. Nice and peaceful, good neighbors, good resident managers, never had any major issues. Will look back fondly on my time here."

"I rented a studio for almost 2.5 years here and absolutely loved it. the building has an amazing pool/outdoor area, and a comfortable common inside area. The studio is big and well-distributed. It has a lot of storage space, and a good and huge balcony, which I personally always enjoyed. The management was always available and promptly answered my requests. the building is close to parks, and public schools. It has easy access to Stanford, Los Alto, Downtown Palo Alto, and Downtown Mountain View. It's also close to Wholefoods, Trader Joe's, Walmart, Safeway, and San Antonio Rd. I would say that a con is that there is no Caltrain station in a walk distance, but it's for sure in a bike ride distance."

"I rented a studio here for four years, and it was great; the building is slightly older but the units are nicely updated and a good size (with huge amounts of storage!). Management are very responsive and never had any issues that weren't quickly resolved. Location is also great - Hobees literally round the corner, Wholefoods a short walk south on El Camino and State of Mind pizza & beer a short walk north."

"I lived in a studio in this apartment complex for three years, before moving to Canada, while doing a postdoc at Stanford. The studio's layout is perfect: plenty of room for a couch, a TV, and a queen-size bed. The kitchen is modern and the amenities include a dishwasher -- a necessity in my life from now on. The apartments have a large balcony, which is nice to have during a global pandemic when you want to take a breather. The apartment complex is managed by Collie, who is the most wonderful, professional, and pleasant person to talk to! I would rent this apartment based on her management alone. The apartment is located in an ideal location between Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Los Altos. I had no car during my stay and I biked everywhere (I didn't bike much prior to coming to California). Biking to Stanford takes approximately half an hour and there is a beautiful bike path along the way which makes the trip very enjoyable. Biking to California avenue, to grab a bite (Zareen's, Izzy bagel, Terun), takes approximately fifteen minutes. Biking to restaurants in downtown Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos, etc. all take up to 30 minutes. The apartment is very close to the various mountain bike trails, which are a great place to get fresh air, especially during the pandemic. I shopped frequently at Whole Foods, Trader's Joe, Sprouts -- all of which are within a 10-minute bike ride along El Camino."

"I love the safe and beautiful environment nearby. The studio has good layout, you got maximal sunlight from the sliding door and there are two luxuriously big wardrobes. And the manager really has treated us in the most family friendly way. Pros: -environment in and out: 1) I Loved the flower tree near the laundry room in spring- they smell just like spring, 2- I enjoyed the pool in summer and 3) the morning sunlight everyday from the balcony - Great neighbours. And Best neighbourhood where u can walk 20 mins to the best playground ever: magic bridge playground. Trader joe, whole food, sprouts, 24 hour gym walkable. Nice restaurant, good rating day cares, goodwill, Starbucks in 5 mins walk. Many facilities for new parents around. -Great management, very responsive and caring to family. The current manager is very professional and attentive - If you drive along arastradero rd in 10 mins or 20 mins you reach some very pretty hiking trails or open space. Cons: it is 30 min walking to Caltrain if you don’t have a car. The 522 bus stop is right at the front, though. With the “every 12 min” bus one can reach Palo Alto or Mountain View in 10 mins."
