Levare

I love our complex very much. We have been living here for the third year. It is quiet and calm, the gorgeous Santana street is right at the exit. There are always security guards near the house. It is safe.

Like it?? It's quiet and calm in our complex, I love it very much. And the staff is very good. Plus there is always coffee in the lobby, sometimes I'm too lazy to make it at home. This is a very big plus of the complex - the availability of delicious coffee.

Prices are going up a lot. There are newer and cheaper apartments nearby. There is no pool in Levar, you have to go to the neighboring complex, there is nothing. Unfortunately, you will have to think about moving.

Nice location; however, we moved in and had more than 2 items that needed to be replaced and another 2 items that needed to be fixed and it is not completed yet. It has been more than 2 weeks.

It is convenit place, but the management is not so kind. I have to submit the document several times. if not they charge a late fee even though they did not notice the email.

Great place, quite but at times there is a lingering smell of weed in the hallways and in the bathrooms. The maintenance service is prompt.

Sure, the community is in a nice location -- but once you've signed a lease, the management not longer cares about you. Management is rude and shows no concern for keeping residents. There is also supposed to be a concierge in the building, but you will never find one...only a sign directing you to walk across the street to find them at the sister property. Enjoy your first year, because after that they will hike your rent by $500/mo. They host "Town Halls" for people to voice their wants and needs, however nothing actually gets done - like the stairwell carpet smelling strongly of dog pee for over a year, despite the issue being raised at a Town Hall two years running, or the year it took to create a simple fix to parking issues for people with two cars. On the surface everything looks great, but we've had issues with almost all of our appliances, which are older and not as big as the appliances that were shown to us when we visited. Beware. With the rent hike, there are newer, more luxurious places in cute downtowns like Redwood City that you can get for the same exact price.

You don't have to be rich to live in Santana Row. The Levare building is a quieter building than the surrounding complexes. Not many amenities here but it is clean and quiet. There is an outdoor fireplace and bbqs in the courtyard area. If you like to eat, it is so convenient to step out your front door and select from many restaurants. Fogo de Chao stands out the best for me. With the outdoor music, shopping, and movie theater, its a nice place to live for entertainment and night life too.
