The Resort at Encinitas Luxury Apartment Homes

"The management team here is amazing, Tess and Sheneka work very hard to make sure the residents have everything they need to enjoy their stay. My neighbors are great, the apartment is beautiful, and the location is close to everything. I appreciate this place and the people in it."

"Test in the main office is one of the most amazing people. I highly recommend this property as it is Very beautiful and well maintained"

"Be aware that although this complex has "Luxury Resort" in its name, there are a lot of issues that I have experienced that make this more like a low end motel. First, alot of the apartments are over occupied (I've counted roughly 8 people in one unit near me). It gets really noisy on the weekends. At night some residents think it is ok to consume alcohol wherever they please and throw their trash anywhere other than the trash can. Public drunkenness is also a issue here. I have ,on numerous occasions, seen residents drinking alcohol while sitting in the driver seat of their car. I would like to thank law enforcement for responding quickly to various issues constantly occurring here."

"Pretty poor quality of life, not much value for how fast rents are going up. Expect the max allowed rent increases. It is rent controlled because the building is old. There is constantly stuff breaking the apartment. Low quality appliances. The build quality is low. For months I couldn't get a full night of sleep because of noise from the downstairs apartment. If you have a baby next door, good luck. I also hear people snoring through the floor. The windows are pretty cheap, noise goes right through them. It's pretty tough to get any peace and quiet if you have a neighbor that likes rancheras at 10am and yelling. The complex has a weird obsession with white paint. Its on everything. Renovation seemed to be just applying a layer of white paint. Most apartments seem to be overfilled. This seems to cause most of the issues. I guess the only people that can afford these rents lately are people willing to put 8 adults into single apartment and multi generational homes. The complex is pretty busy, music from cars starts at 6:30am. There is continuous noise until maybe mid-night. People are always coming and going. With overfilled apartments, people spill out into the common areas. Parking lots and any green grass are basically extension of living rooms. I get to listen to speaker phone calls, little parties and gatherings and kids screaming like the parking lot is a play ground. People are selling food and clothes out of their apartments so there is always traffic and people who don't live here showing up. The tamales I tried were good though, there is that I guess. For me, I don't speak Spanish, so the issues I do have with a neighbor, I can't speak to them. I've been surprised by how many people don't speak English here. Even for questions as simple as as "whats going on over there." I'm pretty surprised how often I see the police here. Maybe once a month. I've had drunk people show up at my door yelling. Seen multiple people peeing all over in public. Personally I don't care about people's balconies, as long as there isn't bugs, but if seeing garbage bothers you, you'll see a lot of it. There is a lot of littering in the common areas. Beer bottles, broken glass, and garbage from kids that are left to do whatever they want. My friends in the area surprised by how crazy it gets here. None of them have seen apartments with communities like this. Saying things like "third world", "chaotic", "San Francisco is quieter". Pretty embarrassing having a friend spend the weekend and not get any sleep because of the stuff going on around us. Working on my getting my finances in order and moving asap. The responses are pretend to look like they care. Talking with the building and community managers they just explain how to move out and end the lease. Ignoring how much of an inconvenience and expense it is to move."

"I would give this place 0 stars if I could . I completely agree with Nick S. I actually lived here for almost 3 years in 2015 and left January 2018 and although the fact that they are built very poorly is a well know fact and somehow you will always suffer from living below someone, I never experienced anything like what I just went through. I moved back in a downstairs one bedroom apt in January 2023 and I immediately realized the noise issue was now worst because new ownership installed hardwood floors upstairs. I complained to the leasing office about the noise level and was offered to leave without paying the penalty for breaking the lease but since the market would not offer much and I just went through the stress of moving, out of desperation to keep my son in the district , I decided to stay in the unit. Sure enough a month or so after we moved in , a family of 9 from El Salvador rented the 2 bedroom apt attached to my unit. Thats when we completely lost our peace as the noise level was out of control especially at night.The traffic by our front door was non stop resulting in complete lack of privacy and reasonable quiet enjoyment. Not to talk about the absolutely trashy way they kept the patio and the disrespect for people living close by . They had screaming toddlers by my front door all the time, smashed food by my front gate, empty soda and beer cans, cigarette buds, dirty towels, clothes hanging on the wall, old TVs , tables and a gazillion broken toys in their patio...you name it .Nothing luxury about this place. The amount of cars parked on the street on weekends and evening is indicative of the amount of people illegally occupying the bigger units. Work trucks with trailers, vans, 7/8 cars per units...sometimes I could not even turn in my driveway to park in my assigned spots because of the size of the cars parked by each sidewalks. The place is crime ridden and they had to chain the new furniture of the common areas to the cement to make sure they would not be stolen .We had the property manager email the complex expressing sadness and disappointment over the behavior of some tenants and the fact that the sheriff had to be called in multiple occasions by the common areas. I used the pool once in 5 months and I left after 10 minutes because I was the only woman in a pool with 10 hispanic young men drinking and listening to music and looking at me and laughing. Very intimidating . People running taco shops from their units and smell of greasy mexican food lingering around the block. You walk the complex in the evening and early morning and you will rename this place the Barrio.This NEVER happened when I lived there prior of change of ownership. Super strict rules about occupancy, conditions of patios and qualification criteria. They allow multiple families to rent the same unit so that they are able to pay the ridiculous amount they charge for rent . I had severe emotional distress living here and management did nothing about me complaining about the situation . They actually told me they could not validate my statement and told me I could break the lease without penalty. They dont care, they choose to get rid of me instead of solving the problem and evict who was illegally occupying the unit . They were indeed in "breach of contract " as landlord and deprived me and my child of the right of quite enjoyinment ! It cost me $2800 to move again after 5 months not to talk about the allergic bronchitis the severe mold problem caused my 13 year old son a week before we moved. 3 weeks of antibiotics and steroids and he still has some .The places are old and made pretty by some fresh coat of paint. Absolutely not worth the price neither my mental sanity and peace but the manager is in absolute denial and would negate anything I stated although the many reviews online confirmed it all by people sharing the same experience."
