The Meadows Apartments

I lived here for 1.5 years and I really enjoyed the experience. The maintenance requests were addressed very timely, and the greeneries here were amazing. They even have cherry blossom trees. They also charged very reasonably when you move out.

The grounds and amenities are beautifully maintained. I particularly appreciate the spacious, well-equipped gym. The atmosphere is quiet with respectful neighbors. My experience in both a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom unit over the last year and a half has been consistently positive.

A really great apartment, the leasing office is really nice and negotiable, the community is friendly and has a lot of big trees. Besides, the community will also hold some events for festivals

The room’s facilities are relatively old compared to new built apartments, but they are reliable and enough. The price is also reasonable compared to others

Lived here for a year and a half, the landscaping is beautiful, the maintenance service is reliable, and the apartments are well insulated, I never heard my neighbors! I loved being able to walk downstairs directly to my parking spot directly from my door. I actually broke my lease early because I felt the urge to move to San Francisco, and the leasing office was very helpful and forgiving of me for breaking the lease. I would definitely consider living here again should I move back to South Bay!

We have been living in Meadows for last 4+ years and I must say that it has been amazing. The office staff is really helpful and resolves queries quickly. Also, rent increases are minimal unlike some other complexes nearby. We even had a rent decrease during COVID. Additionally, this complex is much safer as compared to others where incidents of theft are fairly common. On top of that, the complex is very beautiful with lots of trees which come to their full charm in early fall.

Great place! Love the environment (lots of trees and beautiful plants/flowers) and nice-sized apartment. Solid staff support.

I stayed at the Meadows for 2 years and it was a great experience. The landscape was amazing to walk around, and the neighborhood was generally quiet and safe. The apartment buildings aren’t new, but the rent price offsets that, especially considering its prime location in the valley. I made a few maintenance requests while I was there, and each time they were taken care of in a very timely manner.

The staff here are so friendly! Anytime we had a maintenance request, it was taken care of quickly.

They have beautiful grounds and amenities. This is an older community, with lots of gorgeous, giant trees.

You get one reserved parking spot that is covered, but we never had a problem finding a spot otherwise. There was plenty of parking.

The apartment interiors aren't bad, but there are definitely nicer apartments in the area. You're definitely paying for location here. A wonderful place to live, but we left as prices continued to rise.

Lived in a 1b1b for a year. Overall experience was good!

The hot water gets hot *insanely* fast; I never had to wait for it. Water pressure was also great. Unit had an overwhelming amount of storage space, which was excellent. The entire complex is walled off save for two entrances, making it feel more private than the nearby wall-less complexes.

Management was very responsive. After returning from a vacation in the late afternoon, I noticed my bedroom smoke detector had a low battery and was beeping. I was able to get the issue fixed within an hour - no need to have to try and sleep through the beeping.

My main gripe is the bedroom walls are sort of thin. I could frequently hear a neighbor's baby crying from a floor and a unit away, which was annoying since otherwise the place was very quiet. It was mostly high-pitched noises like that, though. Only a few coughs and maybe muffled conversations if your neighbors are loud made it through otherwise. No complaints about upstairs neighbors walking, as every floor above 1 has carpeting.

Access to major freeways is mostly convenient - though not being able to turn left on NB Mary or SB Middlefield was kind of annoying. There are a few shops a block away, too, which was nice. Food trucks visited on occasion, which was a nice bonus.

Move-out was smooth; I had to leave very early in the morning, but management was very accommodating and let me drop off my keys in the overnight slot. Move-out expenses were also extremely fair; I was only charged for the expected standard cleaning, and nothing more.

Over 1.5 years, maintenance is always super quick (within 24 hours). They constantly to try to upgrade common amenities (which of course is paid by our rent), but it helps that they make an effort to try to put it where it counts. Staff is friendly and gym is very nice but wish it was open a little longer. I shall update this review after our move-out experience when we end up moving out.. that is, if we can ever afford to buy our own place around here, geez.
Update: we ended up living here 2 years and 3 months until moving out of state. move out experience was good. When our lease was up and time to renew, they tried to be flexible with our needs of a different rent term (needed only a 3 month renewal). We got most of our deposit back excluding a reasonable cleaning fee. Overall, it's an expensive apartment, but considering the great maintenance/management and location, it was worth it. During our time there we did experience two mailbox break-ins, but mgmt tried to address the issue quickly.

I lived here for 14 months in 2018/2019, and I give The Meadows the highest rating. It is on the more expensive side, compared to complexes nearby, but it has better amenities than those places. In the time I was there, I saw several units receiving upgrades between tenants, and maintenance was on-going. The grounds are expertly maintained.

Another review mentioned the management company's desire to extract every possible dollar from tenants and/or applicants. This directly contradicts my experience. What I experienced was upfront fairness. I could even describe it as more than fair to me. In my interactions with the staff, they stated clearly (and in writing) the terms, conditions, and costs. And even having so stated in writing, there was flexibility.

This is a unique place to rent an apartment. I highly recommend it.

This is hands down the best apartment complex in this area.

The staff are exceptional; empathetic to their tenants, kind in how they approach problems and always quick to resolve any issues you might have. They also go out their way to make it have community vibes such as weekly food trucks, Halloween pumpkin patches, fitness sessions for everyone who lives here if they want.

The location is great, quiet in the evening but close enough to downtown etc to go for a coffee or a casual bike ride on safe roads. Also plenty of parking for when or if you ever have guests or even a second car!

The apartments are pretty cute, I love the spacious look they have and the size is very comfortable, making it easy to set up how you want! The storage room is massive so frees up so much space in the apartment itself. The washer/dryer and dishwasher are really new. And the complex is kept super clean, the grass is always cut and the trees trimmed where need be! There is security at night that is visible and always available.

I literally don’t have a bad thing to say (speedbumps are ruthless but better than folks drag racing around the complex so I’m ok with it 😂 makes it safer to walk around etc) Highly recommend this place for price point against what you get in return. I have lived in a few complexes since I moved to CA and this tops the list ❤

We loved living there (family of four).
Very sweet and caring staff. They help you with anything you need, fix everything promptly.
When we moved in the apartment was sparkling clean, same for the neighborhood. Beautiful little roads to walk around inside the apartment complex. The management takes care of this place and the neighbors look out for each other!
We moved out because we moved overseas.
It will always have a special place in our hearts!

I lived here a short while which was cut short due to Covid. The landlords were amazing throughout.

I had a small maintenance problem which was fixed the same day I reported it.

The complex has a great friendly environment. The managers go above and beyond coordinating raffles, food trucks, and other activities.

The only thing I was sad about was the pool was under construction and I was unable to enjoy it!

I am super impressed with Meadows Apartments and their staff! It’s hard to go from being a homeowner to renter but after a corporate relocation I am renting in this new area. The move in process was seamless with a completely upgraded unit at move in. Maintenance was lightening fast responsive on a few minor issues on move in and said to call anytime (even for a burnt it light bulb). The gym is amazing and within a couple weeks of requesting more female friendly weights they were ordered and available. I highly recommend this complex for working professionals who want a quiet and nice living community!

Month-two edit: Experience has been super positive. Everything extremely well maintained. They aggressively follow up and fix the root cause on any maintenance request - they're the opposite of "give it the landlord special" folks.

Start of lease: Everything 5 stars so far. Very helpful.

We just finished a one year lease of a one bedroom apartment at The Meadows. The office staff was very accommodating in helping us to secure a temporary second home located across the country. Completing rental agreements and coordinating the move-out was effortless. We enjoyed the peaceful, beautiful grounds, the updated fitness center and the upscale pool area. All the apartments have been recently updated to include granite counter tops and nice cabinetry.

Love living here! The grounds are the best kept out of any apartment complex I visited while looking (and we visited a lot). The apartment complex is very quiet, very well maintained, very quick to answer maintenance requests, and they do special activities for different holidays. Highly recommend!

I have lived at the Meadows for 2.5 years and expect to be here for a while. The complex is top notch, the facilities are amazing, and the staff is very attentive and responsive to any and all support issues.

A great place to call home, it is usually quiet, neighbors are great but mostly private. The price trends towards the higher end (I am frugal) but it is an excellent value considering the all around quality and the people. Can't say enough good things.

I like this place. The best apartment I have seen so far in sv. Management team is reasonable and listening. Then you have a peace of mind and trust . They have generous holiday parties. The stuff hold bags of candies and disburse to kids. Love it. We have noisy young neighbor but kinda ok. Stuff helped and try to work things out. At least attitude is good. Recommend. Safe place too. Lots of kids families here.
