Villas at Carlsbad

"My husband and I have been residents here for awhile now and Lauren and Julie (as well as the rest of the staff) are always so helpful and go above and beyond for their residents. We love living here!"

"Low cost for the area, however the apartments are not in the best shape. The interior looks as if it was done as cheaply as possible and things constantly broke while I lived there. The toilet broke and had to be replaced. The lights in the bathroom all went out and had to be fixed. The towel rack in the bathroom fell off the wall simply from the weight of a towel. The drywall in the bathroom cracked after being leaned on. The garbage disposal never worked. The heater broke. There was constantly disruptive construction going on throughout the property. There were plumbing issues and the water would go out on the property on a regular basis. The washers and dryers constantly broke. Dogs were constantly barking at odd hours of the day and night. Dog owners didn't like to pick up after their dogs, so you constantly had to watch out for land mines. The landscaping was poorly done. There used to be nice trees on the property that afforded some degree of privacy to residents. The trees were cut back so far that all privacy was removed, and the trees themselves were later removed (probably because they were butchered during the "trimming"). Make sure to get in writing a parking spot or garage before signing the lease. Multiple attempts to attain a spot over the course of two years never resulted in an assigned parking spot in the complex, even when management stated there were spots open or some residents have been assigned multiple spots. Even when moving out of the complex the issues continued. Upon moving out to a new home the management was given a mailing address, and then a corrected address to forward any mail and send the security deposit. A month later after not receiving the deposit back and hearing nothing from management I called only to find out that the management had not updated the address, and acknowledged that they made a mistake. Overall it's has a nice location in Carlsbad Village and the rent is relatively cheap, but there are definitely some issues to watch out for."

"Great experience thus far! New management team is very prompt in responding to maintenance requests and have been working hard to improve the aesthetics and functionality of amenities at the complex. Luisanna in particular has been a great help to us, always quick to address any questions or needs we have. She also went the extra mile by helping us get our service dog when the shelter needed additional approval/documentation. Despite it being after hours and on a holiday weekend, she was very communicative and gave us what we needed to complete the adoption on time. Thanks again!"

"Love the beautiful sunsets from my place! Just a couple blocks from Carlsbad Village and less than a mile from the beach. We get the cool ocean breeze upstairs. We have a nice pool and gym with a Peloton bike. Our community has couples, singles, and some small children. Tish is a friendly manager who cares about our residents. Ventura works hard on maintenance requests. The landscaping is kept well and the property continues to make improvements."

"Extremely dog friendly property and fantastic location. Walking distance, EVERYWHERE. Wanna go to the beach on a whim? 20 minute walk through the village on the way there! Beautiful parks near by as well. Want a late night snack? Gas station right up the street! I LOVE my apartment, love the floor design (which there is a variety of). Buildings are pretty tightly packed, so neighbors can get a little noisy, but that's just a small crack in the sidewalk. :) I had a great conversation with the manager, Tish. She was friendly, communicative, and true to her word. She couldn't wait to get us moved in. So excited to be part of the community!"
