The Lark Apartamentos

Amazing staff and kind people in general, they make you feel comfortable and right at home! The Lark is safe and upscale with modern amenities. Moreover, Ruby, Misael, and Lourdes go above and beyond to make this place more than just an apartment complex and into a real community. That’s what makes the Lark so unique!! I love living here!

I’ve lived at The Lark for four years and only recently moved to relocate out of state. I’ve lived at several different apartment complexes prior, and the management and maintenance at The Lark is truly unmatched! Ruby (Manager) is so thoughtful, caring, reliable and puts so much heart and soul in the work that she does! Misael (Maintenance) and Lourdes (Porter) are friendly, dependable and prompt in their actions, I have no complaints whatsoever with this place. I remember I would put in a... maintenance request, and the same day, within only a few hours or less, it would be addressed and fixed! The entire complex is very clean! The amenities are great! The clubhouse is beautiful, it was newly renovated within the past year. They have monthly events with free food, drinks and fun! The location is great, it is approx 5-8 mins away from Downtown San Mateo, and the major freeways are within minutes. There is a Nijiya Market across the street that I loved to shop at. But my most favorite thing is the free water stations (Flowater); this water is top-notch, you have to try it lol. There is a coffee machine, free for all. You get your money’s worth here, all in all, 10/10 would highly recommend! Lee mas

I had the pleasure of staying at The Lark (formerly Park20) for an incredible 3 years, and my overall experience was nothing short of exceptional. This property truly sets the bar high with its outstanding amenities, top-notch facilities, and vibrant community engagement.

One of the standout features of The Lark is the unparalleled sense of community. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure residents feel at home, and this is particularly true of Manager Ruby. Ruby is nothing short of a gem;... she organizes monthly community engagement events that are both creative and fun, often featuring exciting prizes. Her genuine care and affection made me feel like a part of her family. She is always on her toes, ready to assist with any need, ensuring that everyone’s stay is as comfortable as possible.

Although I never encountered any maintenance issues during my stay, it's reassuring to know that they are just a call away, ready to resolve any problem promptly and efficiently.

I hated leaving this wonderful community due to need of a larger apartment, which unfortunately was not available at the time.

For anyone in the Bay Area looking for a homely, upscale, luxury residential experience, The Lark is the place to be. I wish I could have stayed longer and highly recommend this property to anyone seeking an exceptional living experience. Lee mas

While the amenities and events provided are lovely, the best part of this complex by far is the staff. Attentive, caring, and genuinely kind, Ruby goes above and beyond to attend to the needs of the residents. I have never, for example, had an apartment manager stop by with treats for my dog because she had missed her that day. Much affection is owed to Misael and Lourdes as well, who are beyond friendly and responsive to requests, as well as great conversation.

We are sad to leave but very... glad we got to meet everyone. Thank you so much for everything! Lee mas

We’ve lived at the Lark for 4 years now (in 4 different units) and we have nothing but the best thing to say about living at this community. I am confident in saying that if it weren’t for the staff (namely Ruby, Misael, and Maria), we would have moved by now. Ruby has created a family setting within the Lark. Neighbors help each other, and more importantly become friends through the series of community events hosted by Ruby. She always goes all out for these events with in house DJ, amazing... homemade foods. When we first did our research on the best community in the bay area we saw lots of new apartment complexes struggle with theft issues and packages get stolen a lot, but here at the Lark our community manager Ruby always makes sure all residents packages are delivered properly. Just the other day my Dyson was delivered after hours so Ruby made sure the first thing in the morning is to deliver my package to my door to ensure safety. This goes a long way in making the residents feel secure and comfortable in his home. Misael, is truly the engine behind everything. Misael runs what I believe to be the most helpful maintenance team at any complex in the Bay Area. Not only do they come to fix any minor issues within the apartments quickly and effectively, but Misael always brings a smile and solution when he is called to solve maintenance requests. He is always considerate and personable! When we had an ant issue in the summer he presented me with solutions that would curb the ant problem and let me know the toxic substance is not safe as I work from home so I could make arrangements to leave the apartment air out as he fixed the issue etc. Lastly, when my now pregnant wife was dealing with severe dust mite allergies, Ruby and Misael made sure to take the carpet out of the unit to alleviate the issue. Maria is always diligent in organizing the common areas, cleaning the trash rooms (especially after a long weekend of trash pile-up), and making sure everything is spotless. To conclude, Ruby, Misael, and Maria are the reason we have stayed so happy and for so long at the Lark community. Lee mas
