Archstone Fremont Center Apartments

If I had a time machine, I would've told myself not to live here. Let me explain. Overall the location is awesome you're near hospitals and the police with a proactive neighborhood of police presence, which is great, it made me feel safe. However, here are the issues: #1 Issue: The apartments are cheaply made, there is little to none insulation to drown out noises from your neighbors whether be upstairs, downstairs, left, or right. These walls are extremely thin. At certain times in the morning you can hear the garbage truck doing its job waking you up. If you are a nurse or anyone that works night shift/graveyard shift, this is not the place for you. Issue #2: The homeless and drug addicts are rampant here, I never noticed how often I am seeing drug addicts take elevator lifts until I encountered one while I was moving out. There is no security despite a surveillance room within each building of this complex. I have seen numerous post of the homeless breaking windows and camping in various spots throughout the whole complex which is a concern especially when management is not even being proactive on these matters. Issue #3: Good luck trying to haggle for cheaper rent, they tried to move my rent from $2700 to $3000 once my first year contract was done. After that, we decided to move out and be done with this location. There are a few advantages #1: the maintenance crew here are super helpful and fast. #2: the pool and gym is alright #3: parking is great but there are a lot people who can't drive. The apartment rooms vary but whoever designed them really hated light switches. all of the lights in these apartments are constructed in such a weird way that the design team forgot to put one in the bedroom. Its like they had a dilemma to choose between a ceiling fan or a light but not both lol. Overall, the management team does not know what goes on in their buildings along with how the moving out process goes. The moving out process is a literal nightmare especially when dealing with the move out inspection. The apartments are overpriced for low quality apartment rooms, they should've been $1,800 if I'm being honest. I would say definitely look somewhere else, there are far better apartments that are cheaper and managed more efficiently than this place. My previous landlords were never this problematic and were not reliant on third-party companies to manage deposits and payments. Please choose wisely when you are apartment hunting.

Alexis from Archstone is amazing. She was so helpful every time I went to the office for anything big or small. The apartments are big, the grounds are well maintained. There are surveillance cameras and gates at every entrance so you will not have just anyone who doesn't live there walking in. The pool and spa are always clean as well as the gym. It's close to Bart and you have a hospital just down the street.

SO MUCH TRASH, cars broken into daily & hostile management. I don't usually write reviews on places I live (the Bay Area is generally pretty low quality when it comes to apartments), but given the absolute unbelievable situation in this building, I feel like doing this public service. My recommendation: avoid this building at all cost.

This place is a whole scam. I lost so much money living is this place. DO NOT live in this place. You’ll be broke by the time you figure out this place is a whole scam. Management has no idea what the hell they’re doing. Also the place is cheaply made from Home Depot. I lived in a 1 bedroom and when it was time to renew my lease they raised it to over $3,051. For a 1 bedroom! SAVE YOUR COINS AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
