The SLO Apartments

If you aren’t super picky or snobby about little things u will be fine here. It’s very livable for a college student, maintenance does come and they have been repainting and renovating a few things. It is a little overpriced for not having a kitchen and a little dirty (nothing crazy) but is expected for college housing. It’s reliable and close to cuesta or cal poly. I would live here again with good roommates. This is my own personal experience, don’t let the bad rep scare u.

Do not let your child live here. Do your research, we did but were basically stuck with this as a last minute option. Your child can't cook a meal unless you get unauthorized cooking equipment - like an air fryer, a griddle, a toaster oven, etc. The rooms are okay but your child might not want to leave their room to hang out in the disgusting common rooms. They won't fix any common room issues - like a broken couch. I'm pretty sure there is black mold in the heating system. Try to live literally anywhere else. If you do get stuck here, get a bigger "dorm fridge" from Costco and take the unauthorized equipment or have enough money for your kid to eat out every meal.

Leasing office is apathetic with any inquiries, I pity people who have to deal with "Nathan" he'll never treat you with any dignity. Old combo locks from 1990's on the doors!? Not secure at all! You'll always get a damaged living unit be it a missing towel bar or peeling floor tiles.

there are numerous things wrong with this place. just look up the multiple class action lawsuits they got sued for and you'll see, they don't have the infrastructure to maintain repairs/parking permits. there's a reason for the low rent. also don't get the 1 bedroom/ two bedroom options, those are not worth it.

I have lived here for a few months and am tired of the ways that the place is ran, when I moved into The SLO, I had problems with the sink, the bathtub, and one of our toilets, the drainage wasn't fixed for 3 weeks and all 6 people had to use one shower, the rent is not worth it and the parking is terrible, I have had multiple occasions where there is NO parking and I am forced to park in the reserved parking which is (you have to pay for both reserved and unreserved). Over time there has been pest problems such as fly's in the summer, and silverfish and earwigs in the fall and winter. In short, the facility's and discusting, and rent/parking, ect. is not worth it, do not move in here if possible, I am moving out the second my lease ends.
