Station 21

Residents report a divided experience: those in earlier years and recent positive reviews praise friendly staff, well-maintained grounds, convenient location, and good amenities including pools and fitness facilities. However, a significant number of longer-term residents cite persistent issues including excessive fees beyond base rent, unresponsive management communication, maintenance delays, pest control problems, security concerns with non-functional gates, and vehicle theft. Management transitions and billing errors have been recurring frustrations.

Management responsiveness and communication are inconsistent across this property. While many residents praise office staff as friendly, helpful, and professional during the leasing and move-in process, others report difficulty reaching the office by phone, delayed responses to maintenance requests, and poor follow-up on service issues. Billing practices are a recurring concern, with residents reporting unexpected fees, monthly surcharges, and mandatory service charges that are not optional.

Maintenance responsiveness and repair quality are inconsistent across this property. While some residents report positive experiences with maintenance staff professionalism and quick repairs, others describe significant delays in addressing work orders, incomplete repairs requiring multiple requests, and unresolved long-term issues such as plumbing leaks and HVAC problems. Common concerns include slow response times to maintenance requests, appliance repairs that require repeated service calls, and water damage incidents that persist without permanent solutions.

The property offers diverse amenities including pools, fitness centers, basketball courts, and well-maintained grounds that residents appreciate. However, mandatory fees for valet trash, parking, utilities, and other services significantly increase monthly costs beyond rent. Maintenance responsiveness varies, with some residents reporting quick service while others cite delayed responses to repair requests. Common concerns include parking availability, pet waste management in common areas, and inconsistent access to community facilities.

Residents consistently praise the property's location for convenient access to nearby shopping (Safeway, Mekong Plaza, Mill Avenue) and public transit (light rail). The area offers good walkability to stores and services, with easy freeway access for commuting. However, parking availability is limited for residents with multiple vehicles, and some note proximity to railroad tracks.

Residents report significant concerns about pest control, with roach issues appearing across multiple units despite ongoing treatment efforts. Building finishes show mixed quality, with some recently renovated units featuring nice appliances and updated interiors, while others have paint overcoats, non-functional fixtures, and maintenance issues at move-in. Common complaints include appliances not working upon occupancy, thin walls allowing noise transfer, and delayed maintenance responses. Office staff generally receive positive feedback for friendliness and responsiveness.
