Castlemont Arms Apartments

Ive been here for 2+ years now and would 100% renew my lease if I wasn't traveling so much. The complex is nice, the interior of the apartments are super nice and modern. You can tell they pay attention to detail. The balconies are HUGE and I love that about this place!
Nancy is the best property manager I have ever worked with. I literally rave about her to my co-workers and friends lol I recently met the new property manager Harleen and I can tell she's also going to be amazingggg!

The apartments seem decently insulated because my electric bill was NEVER high, and I leave my TV on most of the day and leave lights on often. I also run my heater and (portable) AC and it was always low.

A few cons, the water gets shut off pretty often. Luckily they usually give you a notice and they are usually done before the estimated time frame.

The elevator at 1154 is a little sketchy sometimes. It shakes crazy sometimes and it gives you the impression that you are stuck lol

This apartment complex is in a very convenient location and is affordably priced compared to the surrounding apartments. Maintenance is quick to resolve issues and they also upkeep the building. There is assigned parking and the building is secure. They have cameras monitoring the entire complex. The apartment manager, Nancy, is very nice, easy going, and fair.

I never had noise issues with my neighbors but your mileage may vary. I haven't had mail or packages go missing because they are delivered behind a locked door. I forgot about a package for a week and it was still there. There is a small gym and they just redid the swimming pools.

If there were two issues that could be resolved, it is the plumbing and windows. I think the building has galvanized steel plumbing and it is reaching end of life. There are occasionally water shutoffs or minor leaks. The water shutoffs were never for more than a couple hours though, and I was never home for them. The other issue I found is that the windows can be a bit drafty since they're older single pane.

I enjoyed living there and thought it was a good value. I would live here again. I got my security deposit back minus a cleaning fee. Having been through two renewals, they didn't raise the rent, and I liked that they don't use a dynamic rent pricing algorithm.

I lived here with my boyfriend and we absolutely loved it. For Sunnyvale the price is amazing. The management company was also constantly adding upgrades. During my time there, they added a tennis table, swing sets, better gym gear to the gym, and more. It's in an awesome area, and the manager, Nancy, is really awesome. It's such a safe place, people will leave their packages in the lobby for a week+ and it never gets stolen. I really loved it here and would lease it again :)

Lived here 2 years. It is been fun-time without any issues and with a great location. Also, our property manager -- shoutout to Nancy -- was very responsive and helpful.

My wife and I love living at the Castlemont Arms in Sunnyvale, CA! The units are spacious, updated, and well maintained. The neighborhood is very safe and quiet, yet conveniently located (1-2 blocks away) to many banks, restaurants, grocery stores and other venues.

Nancy Pitre, the manager of the Castlemont Arms, is by far one of the very best and most responsive managers I have ever engaged with over the course of residing at many other apartments throughout my life. Nancy is very friendly, professional, attentive and goes out of her way to ensure that the tenants are well cared for, that the grounds are well kept, the units and facilities are clean and functional so that those of us living here enjoy our living experience!

Great place overall, very convenient location right at the border of MTV. In addition to the community, the neighborhood is also peaceful and quiet. Inside apartments are clean and renovated and spacious as well. I think the rent is reasonable as well. Highly recommended.

Nice, quiet living environment. Friendly neighbor and management team. Got very quickly help when something need fix. I am happy living with this apartment. Convenient to reach most area in south bay.

Not a good place to live.
This complex is old and next to a very busy shopping center and very noisy.
The plumbing is old and the management shuts down the water to the buildings for repair constantly.
Managers are not interested in replying to your requests once you sign a lease.
Most people leave this complex after their lease expires.
-Most units do not have AC.
-Carpets are cheap and you feel like you are walking on sand paper all day when waling in the apartment.
-Windows are old and you get cold breeze coming out of bedroom windows.
-The worse part of living there for me was waking up in the morning to the sound of garbage truck followed by delivery trucks annoying beeping noise when backing up!
-Both 1120 and 1154 blocks have the shopping center noise, I guess the noise.

The only good thing about this apartment is that you can walk to grocery stores, has easy access to highways.

Do yourself a favor and spend a few dollars a month more and live in a quiet, neighborhood with quality appliances, carpets, windows.

Very bad experience with Manager Nancy, She was never responded for calls after submitting the leasing application. And she was not accountable for what she committed . She keep on wait us till we lose trust on her rental property. I suffered a lot for relying on her rental property. I can say i was cheated.

Whoever answered the phone was very disrespectful in answering my question about availability. I'm no longer interested in renting their apartment even if it was available after this. If that's is how they treat potential tenants, I wonder how they would treat actual tenants.
