Bernardo Crest Apartments 11820 Paseo Lucido, San Diego, CA 92128

"2/27/24 As I was acclimating myself to the new surroundings at the "resort style" apartment development I recently moved into, the Luxurious Bernardo Crest Apartments, I happened upon young gentleman in a golf cart sporting an Impeccably pressed and clean , relatively speaking for the work considered, comfortable uniform of Essex Properties, He possessed the charm of a “Tony Curtis” and “Cary Grant” , blended into one and when we met, as I briefly paused my constitution, I was additionally taken by his encyclopedic knowledge of carpentry, engineering, and his mastery of several other subjects one need to be fluent in, if they choose a career in public planning or real estate development. I happened to stumble upon this treasure trove of new found friendship and Bob Villa “Always good to know someone” Mastery of DIY skills, because I had a question about a GFI receptacle in my newly refurbished and painted bathroom, that I just moved into at the Luxury Bernardo Crest Apartments. I had been the head engineer at a mobile home park many years prior to my retirement, that was the reason why, when I met, Juan, the amazing Concierge/Engineer at the Luxurious Bernardo Crest Apartments, where I live, I was so impressed I had to get home and tell management and the public what a true ASSET I know Juan is to the residents, company and team, here at Bernardo Crest. Keeping in mind, that it takes ALL of us here to make up the family that we have, but once in a while, I believe to let the individual gems SHINE. Hats off to Juan !! Thanks for helping me every time I think I am being a pain, he can’t do enough for me. He told me the first time we met, “I personally make sure my residents have their issues resolved before the day is done” Talk about looking out and having a sense of ownership and personal responsibility in a position, just like my fav President ..The Buck Stops Here. Harry Truman. ***** This review is to commemorate my new friend and staff representative Julie Brown of Essex Properties and Bernardo Crest Apartments. I rented my place last week sight unseen. I trusted the well made and informative website and relied on the comments of close confidences. Walking in for the first time, and signing the lease before I saw, I MUST SAY, that they are EVERYTHING THEY SAY THAY ARE, AND MORE. But it was julie's smile and the wonderful comments I read about her on the web that finalized my decision in my mind, and I went for it. Sight unseen, WOW that worked out perfect and in meeting Julie I can see why she is an ASSET to the company she works for and her clients that she so graciously serves. My apartment is outstanding, sparkling clean upon walking in, (I thought I was going to walk face to face into Mr. Clean!), roomy is not the word for it. I had to strategize a Lewis and Clark Expedition the first time I went looking at my new crib. Amazingly happy satisfied fantastic copacetic blown away groovy absolutely HOME."

"Juan has been super helpful, he fixed our toilet, microwave, door receiver and front door all in one day! Super friendly and efficient. Keep up the awesome work."

"I have lived here for a little over 3 years. And I can say, I am very thankful this year. The thing I love most, with being a single mother, is having a maintenance team that is quick to help me fix anything in my apartment. More so, Juan! He is always there to answer silly questions about my apartment and always gets my maintenance jobs done fast! He even stopped by this year to check if there was anything I needed done before they were away for the holiday. Thanks for always helping out Juan!"

"I've lived here since August 2023 and it's been great so far. The complex is clean and quiet, and the mountain views are incredible. The maintenance team is hardworking and quick to respond to any issues. Julie Brown is especially helpful and so friendly. She's always willing to help with any requests. I've lived in a lot of apartments, and this is the best one by far. Highly recommend!"

"I’ve been living here for just over three months and the complex is great. Very clean and quick to respond to maintenance requests. It is a quiet complex which is nice. Julie Brown is always working diligently to keep the grounds clean and always has a friendly smile when I see her. She is very dedicated to her job and consistently remembers my name and any issues (we needed our dishwasher door replaced) I’ve had with the apartment and does her best to expedite any requests. Thank you, Julie!"
