Medallion

I’ve been living here since Oct. When I first moved here I thought this was a nice place I felt confortable until I found these huge spiders in my apt. These are brown recluse spiders and they are very dangerous and can in fact kill you and make limbs fall off EXTREMELY DANGEROUS especially when you have children like myself, so I asked them to take care of it they came and sprayed a little in the house we told them there coming from outside our balcony were you walk up the steps they have not done anything about those and as a result there are spider eggs everywere and big spiders still up there, you have to literally watch your step as you go up and down the stairs. Back to back I’ve found these same spiders I’m my home again they need to get new screens and new windows here. it gets extremely hot In my apt. But your scared to open the windows because you don’t want a big spider in your home its not only nasty but it’s extremely dangerous! That’s just one bad thing next is we have TERMITES now this is a little rediculous we noticed them and told the apt management and they called a exterminator a few weeks ago the Nasty critters are still here the exterminator only came for an evaluation and still has not returned I’ve called and spoke with the manager and with the exterminator I’m getting told one thing from the manager and another from the exterminator for weeks now, I’ve been here since Oct with termites in my wall, I’m looking at legally breaking my lease just to move out of here. Having termites is a legal reason to move out and break a lease I spoke with a lawyer about it already. I’m sorry but for almost 2000 a month this is rediculous I found much better places to move to that I would never have to put up with this spend your money else were this place is one of the worst I’ve ever lived at !!!

I have been living here at Medallion Apts for a month now, overall it’s going ok. I am glad that Lisa the Asst Property Manager is always available to answer my questions, and she does a great job with responding to my emails about any questions or concerns I may have.

I called Medallion late afternoon on 11÷17÷15 after seeing many ads on craigslist for a 1bd at Medallion with price ranges of anywhere between $ 1,699 and $ 1,759. As well as offers like «$ 500 off». When I called the woman who answered the phone was not very friendly at all. She asked me a few questions about move in date and lease length in a very impolite way.
She then proceeded to tell me that the rent for a one bedroom was over $ 2,000. I mentioned the ads that I had seen on craigslist for around $ 1,700/month and she responded with something like «that apartment has already been taken» in a very rude tone. And that was that.
Today I return to craigslist continuing my apartment search to find that more recent, multiple ads have been posted on craigslist by Medallion with the same price range between $ 1,699 and $ 1,759 after I had been told that this was not the rate.
I just had to come on here and post this because I felt that I was treated very unfairly. The woman I spoke with was very unprofessional and rude to me for no reason at all. If you do not want people calling you asking about your apartments then maybe you should not post ads on craigslist with false advertising on the prices.
I was actually looking forward to viewing the apartments at Medallion because they look nice in the pictures. But after the way I was treated when calling… no thank you…
LEARN BETTER COSTUMER SERVICE!

We been living at the Medallion apartments almost a year and I can honestly say that I’m happy here, I have never encounter any problems at all with neighbors or the leasing office, Dina the property manager is Amazing! Always greets me with a smile

Medallion Apartments is an older property and may not be the luxury community you’ve been looking for, but has the BEST resident service and personnel I’ve ever experienced in apartment living. The entire staff always greets you with a smile especially the Property Manager Dina. From the time I first stepped into her office until now, she always has a great attitude and a friendly smile on her face. She goes that extra mile to ensure to meet our needs, and is quick to attend to any problems that arise. It really shows she enjoys her time at work which makes her team follow in the positive direction she is leading. The maintenance staff are always quick to respond to such issues. If Medallion offered inside Washers & Dryers and A/​C, I would rate this a 5 star property! All and all… «I have loved my time here and will always recommend it to others.»

The community is hardly a spectacle, but what it lacks in aesthetics, it makes up for in peaceful living. There’s a deep calm late twilight time here where this place almost rests to sleep. The only noise you’ll hear are rustling trees and the bay breeze. With the Golden State Warriors winning the NBA championships yesterday, I anticipated a fun-​filled, noisy Wednesday evening, but that wasn’t the case. I think there’s a certain level of respect for tenant conduct policies here, effectively communicated by Dina and her team. They put a lot of emphasis on noise ordinance, renters are encouraged to be vigilant, which translates to folks being more courteous and mindful of others. That sort of culture lends to a more peaceful and restful community in my opinion. People have a sense of community, responsibility, and they clearly understand the expectations. Tenants follow the rules around here, which is reassuring.
More Pros: well-​kept pool and jacuzzi, pet friendly with waste stations throughout the grounds, you’re never too far from any of the waste/​recycling bins, spacious kitchen with lots of cupboard space, fairly new appliances, spacious bathroom, large walk-​in closet/​storage, easy cable TV/​internet hookup, strong network connection/​carrier signal, literally 30 seconds away from Target, minutes away from Union Landing, from grocery stores (including Costco, Seafood City, Island Pacific, 99 Ranch, Food Maxx, Marina, Safeway, Smart and Final), the Saturday Farmer’s Market on Smith, Kaiser Permanente Hospital and Clinic, 24-​Hour Fitness, Starbucks, gas stations on both end of Whipple, Amy’s Donuts, In-​N-​Out Burger, Don Edwards and Coyote Hills Regional Park, hiking and bike trails, fishing, easy access to 880 and Mission Boulevard, elementary school a few blocks down the residential area behind the complex, Alvarado Junior High School down on Whipple, Logan High School about 5 minutes away, 10 minutes from Chabot College or CSU East Bay if you’re a college student, a few exits south to the 84 Dumbarton access or north to the 92 San Mateo Bridge.
Dina and staff are consummate professionals willing to help any way they can. They are extremely organized, friendly, and they’ve kept their word since day one.

I’m happy to say that I really enjoyed my 2 year stay at Medallion. Probably one of the better things about my stay was that it was literally 5 minutes from my job. But I also have to point out that this is super close to Union Landing and you’re never too far from a decent food spot if you’re not a cooker. Yes, the Medallion apartments have been around for a long time so you can expect the complex to have it’s flaws. But they are mostly superficial. Management was great to me, especially Dina. She was always very positive and always ready to help with any problems there might be. The few issues I had were resolved in 24 hours or less. If you have guests over then parking can be a little bit of a juggling act, but from my experience that has always been a problem with most apartment complexes in the bay area. The only issue I had was regarding the laundry area, which could use some improvement. But all in all I am very pleased.

This is the cheapest rent I could find in the neighborhood, it may be section 8, you may only have 1 parking spot and there are about handful of visitor parking spots available and you may see a bunch of noisy kids running around at all hours of the day and night, your visitors may be noisy and spider webs may be everywhere, but the place is close to BART, its close to Walmart, 24hr fitness and city sport and is all around convenient. The walls are very thin, but the guys maintain the property flora and fauna very well and if you have any maintenance issues, they are right on top of it. Now the planes fly right over our heads so thats disturbing but hey, whatcha gonna do. If you dont care about noise too much, this is a great place to live

This place is terrible. The management keeps changing and never gets better. The units are falling apart. And my most current issue is the laundry room, the dryers DON’T work and you’re forced to play musical chairs with your laundry and pay out of pocket for the inconvenience.

My wife and I lived at Medallion Apartments approximately 3 years and I can assure you if you hunger for a «ghetto» type/​blight environment… then…these apartments are made for you. It has everything one can ask for… loud noises… slum type surroundings… foul odor… indifferent maintenance employees… and…non-accommodating management personnel.
The 2 maintenance employees (Dos Bandidos) are really there for «Display» rather than the actual work itself, like… fixing the crack on your patio floor… the flimsy blinds that constantly breaks… the cabinets doors that don’t completely shut… the leaks on the shower heads. As matter of fact they get abrasive when you do ask them about maintenance service.
Now…as for security… don’t let your family out after 8:00pm because you are taking a risk due to the rift-​rats that are hanging round near the bar. For the past several years now I never saw a security person patrol the area at night… so again you have to be careful when you your family goes out at night.
If there was a ½ star rating that will be the rating I will give Medallion Apartments. We are very lucky to move to Hawaii.

WARNING!!! DO NOT MOVE INTO THESE APARTMENTS…
The rent is HIGH and keeps going on yet there are no upgrades!!!
From the beginning I have had nothing but problems with Medallion Apartments, from the conditions of my apartment when I moved in, to maintenance and Management. If I could do it all over again I would have Ran far away from this place and the 1^st opportunity I get once my lease it up I am out of here.
I have had multiple issues within the apartment and have had to have maintenance come out multiple times to fix things over and over again. When I have reported the many things that I needed fixed, they take their time about responding then once they do respond they act like you are inconveniencing them. I guess they don’t realize that being maintenance means YOUR SUPPOSE TO FIX THINGS!
When I moved in, the apartment was not clean, the bathroom had moldy fixtures and there were spots on both the carpet as well as the kitchen floor. I have also had problems with BUGS!!! Roaches, Spiders, and Termites. I have called about the problem and although the issues with the Roaches have been resolved I still see multiple spiders.
Now as far as management, they have to be the worst ever. Ever since Dina became manager it has been hard to communicate to her and she act clueless about how to resolve problems. She is NEVER in the office and NEVER available when you call. She is good talker but most her talk is more about her personal business and less about issues on the property. DO NOT MAKE HER MAD BEFORE YOUR LEASE IS UP, YOUR PAYBACK… INCREASED RENT!!!
Braddock & Logan… If you are reading this… Get RID of Dina if you don’t want a lawsuit.
The only good thing going about the front office is Naji. He is very polite and helpful and does his best to help you when he can. Although he is limited at what he can do for the tenants, I had always felt more comfortable going to him over Dina.
Take my advice… DO NOT MOVE TO MEDALLION APARTMENTS!!! IT WAS THE WORST DECISION I EVER MADE.

this place sucks! i know a couple friends that have lived here and they’ve both had bad experiences! the apartments are a decent size but this place has always looked a bit run down. and how you going to tell your tenants thats you shouldn’t really drink the tap water in a place. i barely liked visiting my friends when i came.

I agreed with Justin on this. I’m currently live in this apartment for almost a year and looking forward to move out by end of my Lease. After couple of months moved in we found out lots of negative things here, our unit has TERMITES, kitchen sick has been release bad smells like living in a dumpster, stove has been fixed for few times and still not working, Laundry on site is nasty, people took our clothes out from the Dryer when is still wet! the so called Security Guard just stands in one spot, never patrol! our unit is facing the parking lot and there is this Car has the sercurity alarm like an Alarm Clock System that will trigger every night, is every single night at 11:00pm, midnight or 1:00am in the morning. I complained to Medallion’s new Management but doesn’t care. When you call they are mostly out of their office! complained for few times and still having the same problems. All they care is your rent. If I were you I wouldn’t move in here!!! This place is extremely unpresentable! I’m paying $ 1060 for rent $ 30 more for ‘FREE WATER AND GARBAGE” free garbage!!! no wonder my unit smells like «SHIT» total of $ 1090 a month, I realized same amount of Rent in Fremont or other places can provide me with nicer looking place and living in a health environment! Medallion Apartment deserves «NO STAR». and say NO to this place people…(oh come on man, I was giving them no stars but if you choose no star Unilocal won’t let you go on to the next steps which the posting part. I guess 2500 Medallion Apartment got lucky on this one)

This Apartment is the worst!!! When you first check out the place it seems like a great place to live. After you sign the contract everything goes down hill. They don’t care about anything you have to say. If you need anything fix in your unit give it about one month until they get to it. This is the worst experience ever!!! Management is very unprofessional.
