The Pierce Apartments 2 Pierce Avenue, San Jose, CA 95110

"It’s an amazing apartment complex my favorite I’ve ever lived at! The amenities and the people who live here are great. Everyone is super pet friendly and lots of little fur cuties. It’s in a safe neighborhood to walk and the ending block of what starts downtown with tons of things to do almost every weekend during the summer. But every month there’s a fire alarm at least 2-4x, all false alarms. Such an inconvenience for anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour."

"I lived in the Pierce Apartment for two years (in two different units), and honestly I did not have as much complaints as other might have. The fire alarms were indeed annoying, but I guess that's not the Pierce-only problem. The leasing office is friendly (thanks Karisa) and the maintenance is timely. The only actual complaint I had was the unorganized package room where I often had hard time finding my packages. Still, one important note: The Pierce took about $580 out of $600 of the deposit, including appx $250 of cleaning and $250 of painting. I tried to keep the place as it was (I only nailed for a curtain) and I cleaned up the place when I left. For painting, I believe it only needed spot painting. Unless you have an invoice of professional cleaning service when moving out, I guess $500 will be a fixed cut. The cost itself is fine, but it would have been better if I knew it before I had to spend a couple of hours of cleaning."

"Stopped by for a tour without an appointment. Araceli took me on a tour of the property even though I stopped by unannounced. She was polite, knowledgeable and truly sold me on the place. Although I’m not quite ready to move forward, thought she deserved a shout out. The home and property were new and had nice interiors. Rates were a bit high but worth every Penny. Great location close to downtown and pretty walkable to everything you need. Would recommend."

"I’ve lived at the pierce for a little over a year and have loved it. The units and all amenities are fantastic, especially when compared to other buildings downtown that are within the same budget or more. Karissa in the leasing office is super helpful with anything I’ve ever needed and is always a pleasure to work with! Any issues that i have had has been solved in a timely and effective way. I’m most surprised with how quiet it is. in the units with the proximity to 280 and Market st. My only complaint is that I wish there were more community events as it would be nice to meet other people who live in the complex, especially because it seems like most residents are young professionals like myself."

"Leasing office staff are terrible, they do not hold their own words. The Reed Street is very loud, the highway is too close to the building. The gym is very dusty. The garbage rooms are very dirty and smell. there is a big problem to leave a car around the building. I do not recommend The Pierce. Avoid this place!"
