I'd recommend staying here. There are a couple of downsides to maintenance and just my apartment in general not being in the best condition when moving in. But what can i say, i am alot happier here than at my old place

I have lived here for a few months now, and I have had my very expensive bike stolen off of my patio after dark, after my neighbor experienced a man standing on her patio looking through her sliding glass door into her living room. There is claimed "security," truly not. They pay for external towing companies that will tow your car EVEN if you are registered in Runaway Bay's system, yet they won't pay for security overnight or any other sort of protection of the property. You are also not guaranteed a spot near your door, you may have to park an entire lot away. There has been a history of property destruction by non-residents, and homeless camps that they aren't dealing with. It'll fool you, it may be beautiful but it is kind of a disaster.

I request maintenance for my broken toilet state it should be taken care of in 1-2 days because my flusher is broken and its been multiple weeks :(

We had the AC of our apartment down for a few weeks now and it was not handled and we had over 80 degrees for over a week until it became hot outside and only when we complained we got a portable AC unit. Apparently over 40 AC units are down in the property. I think the maintenance unit needs a serious overhaul and the owner needs to start investing some money and fully replace out all AC units, not just "temporary fixing them".

I have been here for 5 months. So far, I think it's nice for the cost. I really like the location and the view and the quarry nearby. I think the amenities are pretty good. I have had some issues with communication with management and getting maintenance promptly, but the maintenance people have been really nice and helpful when they come. The residents have not been super friendly and that's probably the biggest downfall. Overall, I think the cost is worth it.
