Crown Colony Properties

Don’t believe the hype but please believe the negative reviews here. I suspect the people with the «positive reviews» has yet to deal with CC and the HOA on serious issues. I am not going to point out what specific issues I dealt with while residing here but do yourself a favor. If you can avoid buying a property here, please do so. Go look elsewhere, it is not worth it here. Let me say this, if I could turn back time, I would have never bought a property here.

I get it — the parking is bad… like really bad… but that shouldn’t mean you knock it down 3 – 4 stars!
All the apartments will look different because the landlords can change the floors, walls, etc. My apartment has wood floors, updated kitchen, and we like it a lot. It’s quiet and while the parking is a hassle, we found a flow that works for us.
We never use the community house for the pool or workout so I don’t know how that is to be honest. Laundry is fine — I’ve never had an issue with not having a system to wash or dry.
Overall, a quiet neighborhood near all the commercial shops you can think of (Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, Starbucks, Panera Bread, Old Navy, Nordstroms Rack etc. etc. etc.)
We’re looking forward to moving back to SF but for this year, we’ve enjoyed living here at Crown Colony.
If you’re looking for a place, don’t judge off the first apartment or condo you see for the complex. As I mentioned, they can differ greatly. some landlords take care of their unit (like mine) and it seems some don’t from the other reviews.

«I had a great experience working with the staff at Crown Colony Properties for the sale of my home. The staff was friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable. I was a first-​time seller, and naturally had many questions about the process, often requiring to be updated regularly in order to adhere to my relocation plans. My realtor, Ulysses, provided me with sage advice that many other realtors could not offer. In my case, I wanted to groom my condo with some upgrades that would make it immediately attractive to buyers. Ulysses offered guidance on unit presentation, wall paint color, and other suggestions that really helped to sell the place, even before it was advertised to market. I always got the answers to my questions in due time, and I was always fully informed of the sales process along the way. I felt I was always in great hands. The staff was very thorough, professional, and accommodating. My condo sold quickly and efficiently and at a price above asking, well beyond my initial expectations. I was truly satisfied by working with the Crown Colony Properties staff, and they have my highest recommendation.»

Terrible leasing office, disrespectful guards, unsanitary and zero parking.
I saw this apartment on CL and it looked fantastic. Amenities include 2 pools, a fitness center and a park like setting.
I called on Wednesday to make an appointment for Saturday.
Saturday came and I made the hour long drive to see the place.
I told the guard I was there for an appointment and they let me right in. I had a horrible time finding parking. There was no visitor parking near the leasing office.
I get to the leasing office and tell the woman there that I have an appointment at noon. She tells me the units no longer available and slams the door in my face.
I cannot believe how rude she was. They did not call to cancel the appointment. They did not even appologize. What a joke of a business.
If you don’t like wasting your time and being treated like a piece of garbage, I suggest you look elsewhere.

Good value, pretty safe, good for kids, privacy and sound proofing could be better. Great location, right near 280, close to Kaiser and 2 cheapest gas stations and right near the cemetery in case hospital fails. Parking situation is much better and safer now. The entire complex is cleaner and slightly remodeled. They have 2 pools (indoor and outdoor), 2 jacuzzis, sauna, 3 tennis courts, basketball court, club house and ²⁴⁄₇ security. The place is near Serramonte mall, BofA, City Bank and 24 hour fitness. This is probably the best managed housing complex in San Mateo county if you are looking to buy.
