Villas of Pinecrest

everything comes

Security is rude, parking is always packed. Apartment building are old and aren’t kept up to date. Always a water leak somewhere. Plus the pool has been closed over a year. Only good thing is the location & they allow pets.

great area to live 👍

Disclaimer: This is all just my opinion and my experience while living here for two years. (We rented a two bedroom 2.5 bathroom unit for $1850.)
I really wish I could give this place 0 stars. Like many others, I too have experienced water damage to my ceiling. It took a month long renovation to repair everything. They work with Del Mar Plumbing which were able to fix the plumbing issue (pipe replacement to upstairs sink) but they left a total mess. Today, as I am writing this the President of the HOA, Suzanne, informed me that there have been a total of 11 roof leaks due to the excessive rain from yesterday. These buildings are 55 yo and do not seemed to be well maintained, the walls are literally crumbling. There are newer apartments nearby that I would consider before moving here.
I would not recommend living here. Not only are the buildings old but also management is horrendous. Liz, the property manager is unprofessional and petty. We have made a complaint about a neighbor smoking on her balcony but because we are renters the HOA is not able to do anything for us. This is straight from the President of the HOA, they can not help their renters only their owners. It is not worth arguing with these people, since they lack basic reasoning and understanding.
Edit: I forgot to mention the head of security, Moses, he is a rent a cop that acts like he owns the place. He reminds me of a rooster with his puffed out chest. He scares away any guests and is generally unpleasant and rude.

The visitor parking is big and they always have spaces so that is convenient. Security is super rude the majority of the time but on a good note, they are in a great location and allow dogs.
