Sycamore Village

I enjoyed living here at first, when I moved in our rent was 1050 a month for a 2 bedroom, about 1 ½ year ago. Just last week we got a notice on our door stated that rent is going up to 1480.00 a month when they just increased it not long ago… it’s crazy how they keep raising the rent but the apartments look the same from inside, as they were built in the 80’s, they have done minor updates here and there. The PARKING is a big issue… it reminds me of my college years, having to keep driving around for a parking and if you come home late after 5pm, you will not find a parking, there are days when we have to leave our 2^nd car at my parents house, which is so inconvenient, just because there is no parking in the whole apartment complex. We have had our car broken into, and cause a lot of damage and office staff was not able to do anything, instead they said oh the security guard was on duty, I have been here for almost 2 years and I have never seen the security guard ever, even when we take a late night walk around the apartment complex. We don’t think the apartments are worth the price for what they are charging for rent.

Bad customer service in the office! Theres a snob the by the name of Sabrina that attended us. We drove all the way from San Jose to apply here since we are relocating. So I spoke to a lady there the day before, she was nice. She told me what to bring and what time they opended ect and so I get there and this Sabrina girl is so rude. ugh… rude I dont do. If yr interested in an apartment in Tracy, try Driftwood. They have a great approachable staff that is more knowledgeable than the staff here at Sycamore apartments.

The only good thing I can say about living here is that maintenance comes shortly after you call them. It is impossible to find parking anywhere if you come home after 4pm and management often forgets to unlock things
like the laundry room or the pool. They are also remodeling the outside of the apartments so there is constant banging or music playing right outside my apartment. I’m just bummed they didn’t tell me about this remodel because being woken up every day to them working is annoying.

I have been living here for almost 1 year. I got a notice on my door that my rent was being raised $ 75/​month which in my opinion is a lot for what you get. My apartment has old carpet and you can tell that one portion has been patched because it is not the same density in the living room than the dining area. The cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom are made out of press wood. Never been updated. There is no pressure in the shower so it takes forever to rinse out you hair and the bathtub drain is very slow and always clogged and now my garbage disposal is clogged too so my sink if filed with residue and water. Don’t expect double pane windows cause there are none. Some tenants have up to 4 cars and use the visitors parking which makes it very hard for my visitors to park near my apartment. No place for kids to play so they play in the parking area so you have to leave your windows closed otherwise you can’t hear yourself think… as for the cost of PG&E it’s very expensive for some reason. It’s costing me around $ 80/​month for a 1 bedroom apt. Obviously, I’m not happy with the raise I got because I don’t think they can justify it. It’s not like they decided to update my apartment or anything like that… it is still the same old place I moved in a year ago. They recently updated the laundry room… I didn’t notice any changes other that they just repainted the room and apparently changed the washer&dryer but they did raised the price per load!!! Although, there are some positive about living here… it is close to I-​5 and stores… conveniently located close to grocery stores, Starbucks, ACE train, gas station etc etc… Staff is very friendly and they do recognize you and remember your name each time you go in the office. Overall, it feels like a safe area because it is not located in the bad part of Tracy.

Aw the Nostalgia!
I lived here for two years and really enjoyed it. I love the area it is in, south Tracy is really peaceful and well kept. The apartments are located in a quiet neighborhood that is close to grocery stores, restaurants and gas stations. There is also an elementary school about a ½ mile down the road.
These apartments have been here forever but are well managed and still look great. The unit I moved into was freshly painted, had new carpet put in and had resealed counter tops. The atmosphere outside is also nice — there is a little creek outside the apartments with a bridge to get in. Always loved that.
The staff is really nice, they always remembered us and asked how we were doing when we came in to pay the rent. If I ever had a problem, the management/​maintenance took care of it in a timely manner. They even agreed to send maintenance to my apt when I thought I left my flat iron on — woops!
Tenants are provided one designated covered space per apartment. If you have more than one car the uncovered spaces are first come first serve. Unfortunately, they do not allow tenants to purchase more than one spot.
There is not a playground or play area for kids but I would say that the atmosphere is kid friendly. There is also a pool and spa. I always saw families using the pool, the spa wasn’t kept up as well and I rarely saw it being used.
There are small laundromats scattered around the apartments and a few centrally located large ones. The small laundromats usually had two washers and dryers and the large ones had about 15 of each. The prices to wash and dry were a little higher than most commercial laundromats but obviously these are much more convenient. I always did all my laundry at the apartment complex.
The only gripe I have is that I moved in on a low income agreement. I felt like I was getting a good deal but it seemed like every 6 months they raised the rent. After living there for a couple years I ended up paying about $ 100 more on monthly rent than what I started at. Not sure if that is typical or not.
As a previous tenant, I would definitely recommend taking a peek at these apartments if you are looking to rent in Tracy.
