808 West Apartments

It's OK. I'd do 3.5 stars if I could. Amenities are good overall (although the pool is shaded in the afternoon which is annoying to me). Good proximity to grocery stores and downtown.

Even though we payed for an extra parking pass they still towed my girlfriend car at 3 am. This apartment has had a break-in in the last 12 months. Staffs seem to be missing during their listed office hours.

For the last 7 months I’ve been through at least three apartment wide fire alarms. I wish it only happened once but this has been an on going issue for the whole year. Also, for a PAID parking permit my car still ended up getting towed & costed me almost $500 to get it back. The staff never answers the phone & they’re rarely in the office during the hours they’re supposed to be there. There are also a break in in the apartment complex, and took them almost a month to fix the gate. I would not... recommend this place to anyone. Lee mas

Not so great place to live. If you are looking for a place to live in close to San Jose Midtown try other apartments.

I started renting about 2 years ago, I got the apartment on high level facing San Carlos street and the place was vacant for quite some time so they gave me an incentive discount. I know now why no body wanted to rent.

First of all, its extremely noisy (try online street noise tool and you know how loud it is). And not just the street, there are numerous homeless people ended... up this area at night, yelling, shouting or in general make it un safe.

The amenities are good and thats why I gave it 2 star to be fair but couldn't use much these days. Another thing is for the past year we had smoke alarm going off about 10 times (not even joking), so long story short, there are super sensitive (the only apartment I've seen for the past 10 years that keep this sensitive). Another reason is when corridors detect smoke the entire building will alarm and for some reason a lot of neighbors open up their door when cooking smokey that will trigger the alarm.

Another thing is safety, you have no idea how many times I've seen cars were broken into, bikes were taken (so many times), even though the management hires security petrol every now or then but ...... so not even safe area to live in.

Last but not least, I feel the management are not fair in terms of using / returning the deposit also. Most of my life I lived in Essex properties and they often returned 50-70% of deposits. I recently moved out and all I got from a $700 security deposit was only $29.

It won't worth it even they offer 1-2 months of FREE rent!!!

I flew in from Philadelphia to find a new apartment for a new job. I only have limited time. The staff was unhelpful they never told me I had to download an app to do the tour. When I asked for help a rep from the leasing office named Holly was so unhelpful and rude. We were sent to several rooms in which the key we were given didn’t work. Absolutely such a waste of time
