Campbell Plaza

The apartments are nice inside (if you get a remodeled unit). Our unit took weeks to finish after we moved in, and it was a hassle to deal with contractors. Ophelia, who was once the manager, would let strangers into my apartment without prior authorization. It got so ridiculous that I had to call her manager and threaten legal action if they would not stop entering the apartment without permission. We have a therapy cat (with a prescription from the VA hospital), and I did not want her to be frightened by the construction workers. After the work was done, the floors began to ooze glue… glue for months and months! Now the floor has black crusty spots on it, that I hope they will not blame on me (its their shoddy work after all…).
I am a 20-​something and do not have kids. The children that live in this complex are horribly behaved and scream for hours on end with little to no supervision. Several times I have had to kick them out of the pool area because they were on their scooters and the pool is 8 feet deep. These were 4 to 5 year old children that were allowed to play next to the pool with no parental supervision. Also, these parents allow them, on several occasions, to go play with the exercise equipment. It is no wonder why the machines are constantly broken. It’s a matter of time before a kid drowns in their pool or gets hurt in the gym. I urge the management group to send a notice to the tenants advising them NOT to allow children in the pool/​gym area without permission.
I will however add this positive note that management has gotten better since Ophelia’s departure. Also, maintenance is speedy in repairing things that break. Several times this winter, my apartment had leaks, and the maintenance manager showed up almost immediately. I do however, believe that there may be mold growing in the walls, as I have new allergies, and a few walls are warped from water damage.
In summary, if you don’t mind oozing floors, screaming children, bad parking, meth heads from Safeway, leaking walls, and broken exercise equipment, then this place may be the place for you!
PS: Where the hell are my keys to get into the office and pool room area? My lease is almost up, and I have never once been allowed to use these common areas in which I pay for! I honestly wish I had never signed a lease at this place.

Luxury 1 & 2 bed apartments. Rent is somewhat high. Good location, adjacent to VTA light rail & bus terminal, Los gatos creek trail, Safeway. Close to downtown Campbell. Complex grounds are quite pretty, includes pool, communal barbecue, and coin op laundry machines. Many apartments recently renovated, with building renovations still ongoing. Very quiet. Rent does not include utilities. Owning pets adds to rent. Have lived here 1 year, overall quite nice.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place!
I’ll say come and see it for your self, I lived here for more than 5 months and I have nothing but good things to say about this lovely complex. The manager Ofelia is super nice goes out of her way to make sure you are pleased living here. If I have a maintenance request they take care right the way for you. I am not so familiar with the area and I had a lot of help from the manager where to find places to eat or where to hang out. She really cares for her residents and wants this place to be perfect.
They also did a pool party for us with a lot of yummy food. They personally cook for us and made sure we had a good time.
I will definitely recommended this place, you will not regret it living here.

The apartment complex is ridiculous. They do not work with their tenants at all. Their gym machines are broken all the time. They put a tv in there and have yet to get cable in 6 months. Everything from cabinets, shower doors and blinds break because they use cheap fixtures. Plumbing is a huge issue, Ive had fecal waste in my bathtub three times in one week as their plumbing gets backed up. Overall, If i was not stuck in a lease I would move quickly. Oh did I mention they raise rent every year or every time your lease is up 3 months, 6 months. Campbell has no rent control and they use it against you whenever they can. Theyre just money hungry with no real concern or care for their tenants.

Good community, no issues so far.

I’m a current resident of Campbell Plaza and I’ve been very pleased so far. The community is small and everyone keeps to themselves which I really like. I’ve never had a problem with any of my neighbors and I feel very safe. I park my car on the street and never had a problem with theft. The manager is always willing to listen to me and always greets me with a smile. If I have a maintenance request, the maintenance guy takes care of the problem within 24 hours which is very helpful. The office has made a great effort in sending everyone newsletters and keeping us informed of what is going on here at Campbell Plaza. The letters are fun and very helpful. I hope the rent doesn’t continue to rise too much cause I love living here and I like everyone in the office. I would definitely recommend anyone to rent here. You get what you pay for and the property manager does a good job in making sure the grounds are kept clean and safe.

I’m not going to write a long disparaging review about this apartment complex. There’s only one thing I can say; cockroaches. Yes, my apt. is infested with cockroaches. Not due to negligence on my part or lack of cleanliness or anything you might think of that is on my part. No, apparently, this apt. had this problem before we moved in and I found out that they treated it 3 days before I moved in.
Management doesn’t care, blames the tenant and does nothing to help you. Bottom line, never live here.
Also they took me to a creditor 2 years later and are attempting to suck out $ 6000 from me. It’s insane. They’re not even open anymore.

Do not live here! They charge for everything! For water, garbage and sewer! They do not tell you up front. Parking is terrible! Customer Service is good prior being a tenant, when you are already a tenant they pay you no attention.

I needed to find an apartment quickly. They had a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom available so I decided to check it out. The property manager Ofelia was very friend and helpful, informed me about the complex facilities.
The complex was clean and it looked like there has been a lot of renovations done at this property which as a huge plus. I went to view the apartment and everything was clean inside and the carpet was very clean.

I was living her when it was Ventura Apts, wasnt the best but we were all like family and the rent was reasonable that is until Spieker bought the property and evicted all of us. We saw them doing cosmetic work but we knew there were plumbing and electrical issues that they were not fixing it is just too bad us exiled tenants could not warn the new tenants

If I could rate less than one star I would. This place is an absolute DISASTER. Speiker (the management company) is attempting to say this is a great place because they have repainted the building and added partial updated landscaping. The interiors are cheaply done, and most of the work isn’t even completed prior to moving in. The construction team is loud and filthy. They leave trash, tools, boards, nails, shopping carts, etc. everywhere. They entered my apartment without my knowledge and left my front door unlocked for several hours. When confronting the management company, the response was, «Oh well. Sorry. » The manager (Ofelia) has 20+ people on site at a time in her apartment while throwing loud inconsiderate parties all night. Yes, the MANAGER. The office staff are lazy, rude, and incredibly unaware of property management guidelines. They are non-​responsive to any requests made. They make it impossible to contact them. All notification is sent to the management company which is not ON SITE. So, if you have a maintenance related request, you are out of luck until someone responds. There are serious pest control issues in the apartments as well. They refuse to deal with those either, and blame the residents. They randomly decided to change everyone’s parking space, and when asked to be moved closer due to being a single female working until 11, was told they would look into it. When contacting them to follow up after two weeks of waiting, do not get a call back.
The list goes on and on. They are charging an excessive amount of rent for the actual product, even in the current market. I sincerely recommend that no one else decides to move in here. It would be a serious mistake in which you will end up paying for financially, emotionally, and mentally. Do not rent here. Do not be fooled by the exterior updates as the interiors are disgusting.

This is by far the worst place that I have lived at!!! My BMW has been broken into constantly (by this I mean 4x since December), they don’t tow when someone takes your assigned parking space, the manager is so dumb and rude and now tonight I hear my kitchen sink overflowing grease onto the floor WTF and I hear my neighbor running his garbage disposal. I try to get it unclogged and I hear their kitchen getting flooded as well so I call the number looking for an emergency plumbing number it goes straight to some dumb persons voice who I can’t understand. All other properties have had a way to get ahold of someone when an emergency happens but no not Speiker they just want your money… BEWARE THEY CHARGE YOU FOR LIVING IN THE TWEAKER HEAVEN OF CAMPBELL!!! your car will get broken into plumbing issues will happen and they won’t fix it and you will be miserable!!!
