SoMa 23 Apartments

I moved here to save money and I am so I can't complain too much. But I'm gonna.

My biggest complaint with this apartment was that they advertised a parking garage and I got it confirmed that I would receive parking garage access until LITERALLY RIGHT AFTER I SIGNED THE LEASE. Biggest bait and switch I've ever been through. I would have never signed the lease if I knew I had to share a tiny 20 car parking lot with the entire building 8 floor building. There is simply not enough parking. There... are people parking on the street and in the alley. I parked somewhere and got a ticket, it really truly sucks. And to be clear, Krystal is the one who told me there was a parking garage, who reassured me several times that I would have access and told me access would be $40.

They also advertise a pet deposit of $250 but it is actually $400.

Any other complaints can be blamed on it being an older building. All the outlets are 2 prong, not 3 prong. No control over the air, and a questionable looking elevator that is prone to break down but these are things you see on the tour and know what you're signing up for. I'm giving it a 1 star review and never recommending this place to anyone based solely on the bait and switch parking situation.

Oh, and the back door is supposed to be key card locked but the door is broken so you can open it without the key card, making it able for anyone off the street to just walk in if they wanted to.

I like all the security guards and they are really friendly. The lady who I signed my lease with also seemed nice although rushed and always busy or not in the office. Read More

I would recommend friends and colleagues to first consider soma 23

I have without hesitation recommend our community and will continue to do so.

I would not recommend based on the issues with the heat/AC and water temp issues. The heat/AC issues is that when the heat is on, it gets incredibly hot in the units. This could be solved by putting indoor heating/AC units in each apartment. The water temp issue is: if someone flushed their toilet while someone is showering, the water temp becomes scalding.

I have lived here for 2 years. The new management is great but there are a few issues I have.

TEMPERATURE REGULATION!!! If you move here you better be ready to freeze during the summer and bake during the winter because the management controls the temp on each floor and you have no way of controlling it. It has been so bad over the last month since they started installing new windows that I have had to sleep in my living room with a fan blowing cold air in from outside!

I also do not have... power outlets in my bathroom and I’m pretty sure that might be a code violation, along with windows in the bedroom that do not open.

My car was broken into as well in their “secure parking garage” along with 25 other cars. Had to pay $235 to replace the window. No compensation or even acknowledgement from the building.

Neighbors are loud and residents take up every space in visitor parking and nothing is ever done about it.

They also raised the price on the laundry machines even if not offering hookups in units and then charging us to use the ones they have seems like penny-grabbing.

I’ve loved it here but the past 6ish months have been absolutely miserable. Currently looking for alternatives. Read More
