Lafayette Commons Apartments

We’ve lived here for a short time, but it has been so great! I love the calm atmosphere (I came from the city). Taylor has been so amazing at setting us up, and very accommodating to our needs for a short-​term lease. She is friendly and extremely helpful whenever I have a question or concern. If you’re looking for a great deal in a great area, with a welcoming and knowledgeable staff, this is your place!

lafayette commons is a horrible excuse for an apartment community in lafayette. the units were poorly constructed and falling apart. didn’t have level ground in any unit i saw or there was mold and mildew in every unit i got to see.(when i lived here i was able to go into multiple units that where empty and left unlocked when unrented). the property manager anna is very kind and well mannered but completely useless when it comes to a problem. she is never there and takes months to fix any problem. we had no hot water coming out in our shower and that was never fixed after a year of living there and more then 8 months of unanswered calls. the ac broke multiple times and was not fixed same story. deposit was returned almost a month after the required by California law 21 days. no guest parking and city tickets u for parking on the street for more then 2 hours during the weekdays. many better places to live for the price. avoid this place if you can

We had a bad mold attack in the apt after living in it for couple of months. We were given a temporary apt for a week to clean up mold. They changed the window to stop the problem from reccuring. Since I had a 7 month old baby, I decided not to move into the same apt. I was living on month to month and the apt manager agreed to waive the 30 day notice since there were no other apt we could rent either in lafayette commons or meridian (another apt they are managing) due to unavailability.
5 of our suitcases were totally mold ridden in the attack. The apt manager said she will reimburse $ 300 for the suitcases. But when I got the move out statement, I was shocked to see $ 270 cleaning fee. We cleaned the apt before moving out. Essentially, they just cancelled out the reimbursement using cleaning charges. I didn’t like the underhand tactics.

Anna was very sweet, patient, and knowledgeable about the building and the area. The apartment was vwry conveniently located right by the freeway and the rent was lower than many other local complexes. The bedrooms are small and there isn’t a lot of storage but the kitchen is super spacious.

I do not live here and I never have, I am only giving a shout out to Patty!
This is a simple, no frills apartment complex. I would have chosen to sign a lease here if I did not have a medium size dog.
Apartments are clean and bright, all refurbished, remodeled and they are priced competitively for the area.
Patty, the office manager, was extremely helpful during my search for a new residence.
If you have a small dog (like a toy breed or under 15 pounds) or a cat, or very lazy older dog, this place would work for you. The lack of patio/​porch and grassy areas are what made me opt out.
