Presidio View

I love living here ! Great location, great amenities. Pool, BBQ grills and nice gym ! I have been here half a year and so far I love it. But what is really wonderful is knowing the staff at the front office has your back on any issues you have ! Gergana has been tremendous, from our very first visit /​tour to helping us with any issues or concerns we may have during our stay. She has gone above and beyond with dealing with any issues that have come up. She is the absolute best and knowing that there is someone you can trust at the front desk is just priceless. Shout out to her !! She is just the absolute best !! Her and Tim have been absolutely wonderful ! You will love living here and you will love having a staff that is prompt and friendly and caring. Two thumbs up ! Also the maintenance crew have a fast turn around and are also nice !

I lived in presidio view from september 2014-​january 2016. I would have stayed longer if i didnt have to move out of san diego. I never struggle with finding parking (it’s unassigned), but ½ of the parking spots are very tight. There is also tons of guest parking. but you need to get a guest pass from the office if they are staying overnight (they will tow!). The office staff was always very helpful and i never had any trouble with mail or packages. The only time i have ever requested maintenance they fixed it in less than 24 hours. Safety was very important to me when choosing an apartment (i lived alone) and i always felt safe inside the complex. I also had no trouble moving out of my apartment and all fees were fair. Id recommend this apartment to anyone!

My husband and I lived in presidio view for about 9 month and we would have lived there until we bought a house if we didn’t move to Seattle for work.
This is probably the best place either of us has ever lived. The place was extremely clean — the apartments are well maintained and you can tell that the maintenance staff are happy to help. The front desk people are also really kind and helpful — they became like friends and would go out of their way to help you out. My keys once fell in the space between the elevator and the floor right before I left for holidays — by the time I got back, they worked their magic and I had my keys back. The pool and bbq area are cleaned all the time so you can really make use of the beautiful space. The apartment are fairly new so the sound proofing is fantastic — in all the months we lived there we must have heard our neighbors once.
As people have mentioned, the parking spots are a bit tight. That being said, there was always a spot to park your car.
We miss the beautiful San Diego weather and our fantastic apartment and would move there again in a heartbeat if we could.

I lived here with my wife for almost 10 months and I love it here I’m in the Navy and when I’m gone I want to know my wife is safe and sound with things to do when I’m gone. I enjoy all the amenities here at Presidio view. The staff are 100% proffesional. They are really helpful in any matter. I also enjoy the brand new clubhouse the pool tables and tv’s are great. The pool table is the cherry on top. It really keeps me and my wife enjoy the clubhouse when we have down time. We also are fitness freaks the gym on the property it exceptional with a variety of of work out equipment.
Side note when the pool was down for maintenance. The staff ensured we were able to use the pool at the neighboring hotel while they had to do maintenance I recommend Presidio view to anyone who wants a safe haven to goto with friendly staff and nieghbors. It is well worth the price of rent.

After searching high & low we found this place, & I love living here! We moved in around March & it’s been nothing less than pleasant! The staff is amazing! They’re understand & super helpful, I especially love G & Tim! However I despise parking & the parking deck but only in a perfect world would I love everything single thing about a place! Worse case, we had to park on a floor higher than ours but it beats parking on the street any day so I’ll take it!

If i could leave 0 stars i would but Unilocal only lets me go as low as 1 star. Me n my gf came down from San Francisco for her bday and we stayed w her sister here. Presidio says that the 5^th floor is for guest parking so we parked there and the next morning it was gone!!! F*** this place and their security for this. We got our car towed and when we went to the leasing office to ask what happened they said security called the tow trucks on us! Wtf?!? I was like happy birthday babe your car got towed. Smh.
To anyone thinking about moving in here who has friends and family who visit you, dont! This place will make u and ur guest mad as hell!
DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!

I just moved out of Presidio View after almost a year and half of living there and I only moved because of military orders. I loved living here and I am going to miss it. The place is very nice, well taken care. Julie in the front office is always smiling and always willing to help with whatever happens or needs that can come up. Anytime I needed maintenance, they were and fixed within 24 hours. I have to say, it was easier to move in and out of Presidio View than it was to get out of my gym contract. They definitely are doing something and the Alliance Company should take special notice of those guys. Thanks for making living so easy!

Fire alarm goes off every day and every night. Good luck if you ever try to sleep. If you don’t mind being able to sleep then this would be a great place for you.
The staff is awesome!

Have to say our two year stint here has been very enjoyable. A bit on the pricy side especially now that they upgraded to hardwood and stainless on many units. Very dog friendly, the staff is very friendly and prompt, pool area is amazing, excellent gym etc. parking for guests is on 5^th floor we like it cause hey… they always have parking, but guests complain it is a loong drive to the 5^th floor…

So where do I start. We were already excited as it was for visiting the community and taking a tour. The place looked amazing, the staff was extremely helpful & respectful, & the customer service was beyond our expectations! My husband and I are out of state most of the time and they made it happen for us. Very stress free, and helped in any way they could. They are with you from the start to the end, I couldn’t be happier for choosing Presidio View Apartments as our home. Now that we are moved in, we KNOW we have made the BEST decision ever. We love the layout of the apartment, very cozy and so peaceful at night. Having the washer and dryer in our home was important to us, knowing we had access to do laundry at any time. Being that it is a gated community I feel very safe at night especially when my husband has business trips. Their facilities and surrounding areas are kept to an extremely high standard and maintained cleanly, even though pets are allowed. So if you’re a dog lover this is definitely the place for you! Their pool area is always surrounded by loving people, it’s a place to get away and relax or enjoy barbecuing with the family and friends. We have lived in a couple of places in San Diego and this has definitely been the most present experience we could have asked for! The juice is definitely worth the squeeze… And before I forget, you LITERALLY have everything a block away! Don’t pass up the opportunity to live in a prestigious location and home!
P. S. The parking is not bad as it is described in the other reviews, their is multiple levels of parking & their are elevators on either side!

I’ve lived in around 6 different locations while living in San Diego, and Presidio View was far and away the best. In fact, until I had to unexpectedly move to NorCal for work reasons, I was planning on living at PV until I was able to purchase my own home.
The positives:
–The staff is incredibly friendly: Tim and Julia are especially fantastic
–Maintenance is very responsive to issues: usually after I reported an issue, someone would come by within 30 – 60 minutes
–Amenities (gym, pool, cyber lounge) are great and are frequently cleaned and updated
–Close to a ton of fun places: Fashion Valley Mall, Mission Bay, Hillcrest, Northpark, Downtown
The Negatives:
–Parking. While there will always be a spot, it’s not guaranteed to be on your floor (especially if you live on the first floor like I did). Also the structure can be difficult to get in and out because it’s narrow and there’s always traffic coming in and out. Be mindful of your turns!
–Bugs. During the summer, mosquito would be nesting around the «moat» area by the parking structure. If I were management, I’d just get rid of it. It doesn’t really add much to the already beautiful décor. There were also some pincers/​spiders that sometimes crawl in but not that frequent.
That’s about it. Parking was really my only gripe about the place and it really wasn’t that bad, more like an irritant.
Overall, really enjoy my stay and if I ever get to move back to SD, that’s the first place I’d check out!

I’ve been in several apartment complexes and this has been the best so far. It took me and my boyfriend months looking for a place that we both want to move in together and this was the place that fits our standards the most. We are both professionals with a very picky dog. The following are the things we love about this place:
Location — close to the beaches, malls, town centers, downtown, SDSU, Qualcomm stadium, Costo, SeaWorld, etc. If you look at the google maps, you’ll see that everything is close.
Parking — two bedrooms can get two parking permits (something unheard of in other apartment complexes) where you can park anywhere in the 5-​Floor Gated Parking Garage. You can also get a third one by paying a few bucks. I like that there is no assigned parking so if you happen to get lucky and get the closest spot, you are welcome to park. It makes it fair to all tenants. Of course there are those few tenants that are not great at parking, have loud exhausts that will set off other tenants’ vehicle, or going over the speed limit in the parking garage. but hey, it’s not the managements fault. They do their part though by having a staff who drives a golf cart throughout the day to ensure these issues gets under control. Cars that don’t have a permit and not parked at the visitor parking gets towed immediately ensuring real tenants have plenty of available parking. The visitor parking is also controlled. It has a limit which is good so guests don’t end up becoming illegal/​undocumented tenants, a case that makes a unit rowdy if not monitored. This shows they’re taking security and policy seriously. Many might not like the strict rules at first mainly because they’re not used to it and most people have issues with adapting to change but once you see the benefits, you never want to move to a not so strict apartment ever again.
Dog — There are lawn areas for dogs to do their business both inside and outide the complex. The entire place is gated so it is almost impossible for your dog to run away or get hit by a vehicle. The lawn gets trimmed every now and then and there are potty bag stations everywhere where you get poopy bags and throw them inside. Dogs are required to be leashed. This makes me feel more at ease knowing owners have more control over their dog in case something happens.
Mail — Everyone has an assigned mailbox all in one place. Packages are getting controlled by the leasing office. They have a room with cameras to put the package. They will email you if you have a package to pick up. I like this because I’m so sick and tired of packages getting dropped off our front door and sometimes get stolen from our old apartments.
Neigbors — The neighbors overall are kind and respectful. The place is gated so only tenants and guests can get in the complex making us feel safe.
Apartment unit itself — Awesome kitchen. Everything is just amazing. If we find issues it gets fixed the same day or the following day.
Landscape — Beautiful. The place just looks classy. A place both my boyfriend and I are proud to live in.
Amenities — The gym is great. They have high end equipment. They have water with water cups on station and towels for those hard working gym lovers. There are also cleaning supplies to sanitize the equipment you used. The computer center, pool, jacuzzi, and grills are cherries on top. This place is just amazing.
Payment — You get what you pay for. We wanted a beautiful and peaceful place to live and we got it. This place is actually a great deal to what they offer. They accept checks or online/​auto payments which makes it easier to pay rent.
Staff — Hands down! One of the best staff/​apartment management in the world. Everyone greets you and are welcoming. They also remember you and your dogs name.
Overall Score: 10 out of 10. Me, my boyfriend and my dog loves this place.

I moved into Presidio View Apts a few months ago and so far I love it! The staff are friendly and attentive, the grounds are well kept and the neighbors are nice. The pool area and gym are great amenities to have and I am looking forward to the club house opening at the end of the month. I recommend these apartments for young working professionals, especially those with pets.

OK so seriously this place is beautiful! My boyfriend and I just moved in and couldn’t be happier. From the layout of the apartment to the big beautiful pool and the clean gym you can’t go wrong. Can be a bit pricey but you definitely are getting what you pay for. Parking is NOT an issue. I mean you do have those people who park over the line and leave little to no room for you to park there but its not the end of the world and you can just find another space. Its just a beautiful complex all together and the leasing office staff are just the cherry on top. They are very welcoming and if you have an issue they help you with a smile on their face.

Great location, very nice fitness center which is kept clean, the front desk staff folks are always very nice and helpful, the community is kept clean and organized as well. I would like the pool hours for adults to be later than 10pm on the weekends but the pool area itself is very nice and we’ve hosted many fun events here. Covered parking and plenty of visitor spaces though, by no fault of the property owners, some inconsiderate residents park their over-​sized vehicles in the compact spaces and LOUD vehicles/​motorcycles almost seem to enjoy bothering people/​setting off alarms. Overall though, we moved in about a year and ½ ago and I love our place, the space, the staff, the location, the pool, the fitness center, etc. We’ll be here for a while.

The price and location of this complex is perfect
Staff very helpful and friendly
High quality of maintenance
Pool and jacuzzi and gym area is beautifully laid out and maintained.
Enough parking for everybody including your guests with easy access .
Pet friendly and easy to walk your dog.
Close to Trolley station and Fashion Valley mall.
Close enough to the ocean to get feel the breeze.

Very nice and friendly community! The girls in the office are so helpful and so friendly. I love the amenities and the close access to the freeway. I also love the layit of the apartment. Nice and clean and pet friendly. The pool and gym is nice. Just wish parking spots were bigger because my doors been hit 2 times brand new car. Otherwise I love it here.

Stayed here for 5 months while in town for work. I have zero complaints about the apartment, grounds, parking, or staff.
The apartments were quiet, Parking was covered and convenient, and staff was friendly and helpful.
The grounds, pool, and gym were always clean and tidy.
Of course there was a fair share of tool bags that lived there. People not wearing shirts in the gym, driving like idiots through the parking garage, ect.
I would have given 5 stars but I had a bicycle stolen that was locked up, and someone tried to punch the ignition out on my motorcycle. I did notice security guards starting to walk the premises at night.

If you don’t want your car hit by some other resident then don’t live here because parking is absolutely disgraceful and no one takes responsibility for damages nor do they have cameras to insure your security. For what you pay in rent you should feel secure and have peace of mind, this place use to offer that but as of lately the ball is being dropped.

This rating was right on the border of three stars but I had to bump it up for the Presidio staff. Probably the most welcoming Apartment staff in Southern California. From the day we moved in until we left, they treated us like royalty especially the folks working the front.
There was absolutely nothing I could say bad about this place until the summer came. ANTS galore. We couldn’t get rid of them. We took our trash out multiple times day, bought containers to put all our food in, vacuumed and cleaned every surface multiple times a week and they still came. When we informed Presidio (multiple times) of the ant issue, they put in a work order for the exterminator (which usually comes out on Fridays). While the exterminator was able to eliminate the Ants for about a day, they still came back (couple thousand). Even though we lived on the third floor, ants would appear from the small crack in the ceiling, behind the dryer vent and from behind the dishwasher to the sink. This ruined our whole experience. After a month, we just gave up and waited for our lease to end. When we moved out, I spoke to three other couples moving out the same week and they all mentioned they had Ant issues.
This place attracts smokers. We had an apartment below us that would smoke @6AM and 6−10PM everyday. We couldn’t leave our windows or balcony door open without inhaling the smoke. We asked Presidio if they can do anything and they said they couldn’t.
Don’t forget to turn off auto-​pay when you move out. The «System» doesn’t care if you are no longer leasing. When I spoke to Tim (Presidio Staff), he offered to send me an immediate refund for the accidental withdrawal but when I asked for a credit on my overdraft fee, he agreed «I was S#$% out of luck.»
Some great things about the Property.
— People are very friendly. The day we moved in, a random resident brought us Gatorade. Never had a complaint
— Very dog friendly. There is a dog area with grass and enough room for your dog to get a good walk in. Presidio provides eco-​friendly waste bags.
–Location; we were biking distance to Seaword and Mission beach (5 miles). Walking distance to Fashion Valley and Hillcrest.
–Presidio kept this facility pristine. The garage/​facility is always cleaned and trash is taken out on a consistent basis. The maintenance/​cleaning staff always said hi or waved, always with a smile!
–Towing/​Parking; some reviews here complained about the towing but I thought the strict policy was great. Follow the easy rules or be towed. There’s very limited parking but because of the strict regulations, I always had parking for my two cars. If you park like an @$%, the residents will let you know.
–The apartment had a unique Spanish feel with a reasonable amount of storage
–The Cyber Lounge, Pool and gym facility were always cleaned and up to date. I never had an issue.
–The Presidio staff puts on events all the time, free food and a nice way to meet your neighbors.
–I got stuck in a elevator late at night that wouldn’t open and called the 24 hour maintenance staff. Even though I managed to get out, he said he wanted to come out and make sure it was fixed.
–This property doesn’t nickle and dime you. We got a good portion of our deposit back.
–The Staff. They are available every day of the week, except holidays. They knew us by name (hopefully not in a bad way) and were always willing to help. There’s a reason this complex wins awards every year.
If the Ant problem was taken care of and I lived in an apartment away from smokers, I’d live @ Presidio again.
