Volterra Apartments 9071 Dallas Street, La Mesa, CA 91942

"Just moved out of the apartment after living there for a year and a half. Absolutely no complaints. Everything in the unit was brand new when I moved in, or seemed like it, down to stickers on the pantry shelves and plastic covering on the cupboard handles. The management team is friendly and professional, all notifications are posted on doors and emailed with at least 48 hours heads up. Can't attest to the maintenance team since I didn't have a single reason to call them... but in my mind that speaks for itself. Located between a fire station and a middle school, which, at least in my mind, serve as a deterrent for crime. Central location between San Diego proper and Kearny Mesa, traffic was a nonissue commuting into the city 5-6 days a week. The apartment common areas are being renovated, but very quietly, no disturbance noted at all. Just means you watch the complex get nicer and nicer with no disruptions."

"I am currently living here with 4 other roommates: this was the only decent looking place that would accommodate all 5 of us, and alright the place seemed to go to be true, it wasn’t. About a month after moving in, the main bathroom toilet went out. In the same month the dishwasher started over flowing. Next month, the blinds started falling of. I did an inspection of the place and noticed that the paint was starting to chip. All bad, all bad. Obviously at this point, and after signing the lease, we were unable to move out. It’s been 4 months of constant problems. I should have known better when the leasing agent asked specifically for water damage: from my look if it, they new the unit had a lot of problems, but obviously management doesn’t care enough to replace a messed up dishwasher. I will probably do a follow up after we leave in 8 months, but in all honesty, there are 3 bed 2 baths for 1800 or even 2000. This place is not worth the 2300 we are paying. Torrey Pines management put a bandaid to this old place, and your money could go to a better apartment."

"Place looks clean from the outside However, after having spoken to several tenants, I realized that the new managers do not care about their tenants and there were many people who complained about the washers and dryers not working properly and being extremely hard to get a hold of. I also spoke to tenants who said they had a serious case of rodents..And roaches. Heard manager Sara does not do her job right and is a complete hypocrite along with manager Maria. I would not recommend for several other reasons. Can't mention on here for I am a Christian woman."

"I am so glad I found Volterra! I researched very throughly for other apartments in the area and nothing compared to Volterra especially for the price! I currently live three hours away and the managers (Sara and Maria) have been nothing but amazing. Unlike most of the apartment complexes I called, they were always available to answer any of my questions during office hours which made scheduling a viewing hassle free. Not only are the managers extremely nice but they made the entire process such a breeze. The facility itself is extremely clean and quiet. Even though Volterra is only a year old, you can tell the managers truly care about the tenants because the facility is kept up to date. And they are continuing to make more improvements. So if you need to find a place I highly suggest volterra."
