Palo Alto Plaza Apartments, Mountain View CA

This is a comfortable place to live in. We lived and raised our family here for 10 years. The kids have learned to swim in the pool, and we had a lot of parties at the BBQ place (back when we could have parties). The garden is gorgeous and very well maintained, and the staff replies to requests promptly. Highly recommended.

My husband and I absolutely loved living here for the past 5 years! We moved into a newly remodeled unit and have enjoyed the amenities that are well maintained (pool, jacuzzi, gym, putting green, yoga decks, etc.). I will say the staff here do an excellent job not only maintaining the property, but also regularly doing renovations (new fountains, replanting trees/flowers, adding new amenities, etc.).

This is also an excellent location as it's right across the street (and walkable!) to Safeway, Trader Joes, Target, UPS, and lots of restaurants (Chef Chu's, Pho Vi Hoa, Sushiko, Mizu Sushi, Esther's German Bakery, Armadillo Willys, etc!), but is also located in a safe neighborhood with Monroe Park and a playground just down the street!

We will definitely miss this place (moving to a large place) but highly recommend it to future tenants!

I moved last weekend to this amazing property and I can’t believe how lucky I was to find it. I searched for over 6 weeks and nothing convinced me until I toured at Palo Alto Plaza, I knew that would be the right place to live in. Now, after having moved in, I confirm that living here is like paradise. Super quite and respectful community, I like its pet-free since I am allergic and everything is kept beautifully organized and clean. The managers are at the top quality level, specially Michael (that I dealt with more often), who would respond to any inquiry or issue within minutes and in a very friendly way! Never have seen this before. There were a few minor things to do at my apartment to make me feel more comfortable and Jose (maintenance guy) came in the exact the same day I asked for help and he solved everything very quickly and professionally. The junior apartment is perfect for one person, super new and remodeled with plenty of storage space and there is every detail to make you feel like at home. The swimming pool, hot tub and gym are always clean, readily available and quite empty although now can be used without reservation. The views from my apartment facing interior on the third floor are so beautiful, and peaceful. I work at Stanford and the commuting is also very beautiful compared to my previous apartment. I love is all green and passing by the Stanford dish and only takes 12-13 min by car.
I could not have lived better and happier anywhere else! This is the place to be! I also explored the area and went running and its perfect! So quiet and nice neighborhood and shopping area just a few minutes by walk! Everyone living here is very nice and happy and what I like the most, very quiet! Stop searching, trust me, this is the best place to live! I am honest, nobody told me to write this, I just hope that everyone who reads this believes my words, you won’t regret it!

This apartment is a wonderful place. I can walk to San Antonio shopping center for 5 minutes, there are some supermarkets, like Trader Joe's, Safeway, Walmart, and Sprouts. Also there are USPS, CVS, and Starbucks. Furthermore, I could find nice restaurants around the apartment, the Chinese restaurant chef's Chu, ice cream shop, and the cake shop Lady M.
Stanford University is 20 minutes by bicycle from this apartment.

The room is very clean, no dead space, very large kitchen, comfortable bathroom, and it's even north-west side room, nice sunshine to the room. The air conditioner is working every night.

The manager Bryan and the team members are very kind, quick response, helpful, and friendly. The laundry room is always clean, the sanitary engineer is a great person.

In this apartment there is a very nice garden, the flowers are always very beautiful and they care about them. In the rose season, it looks like a rose garden.
And the pool and Jacuzzi is amazing! I could feel California on this pool side, with a wonderful blue sky. The high palm trees in the garden are very nice, I could even see the palm trees from the ''El Camino real'' road too.   I also enjoyed a BBQ in the garden, there is a nice patio.

During the Pandemic, the apartment team renovated a part of the garden for the outside training area. I could use two spin bikes (Up-light bikes), a lot of dumbbells and benches (for weight training). I used them everyday.
A few weeks from now, there will be a yoga space with a water fountain in the garden.
I had a nice time in this apartment!

The room is nice and cozy as well as public space is always clean and comfortable. Mangers and stuff are friendly and response is so quick.
It's the best place to live for both family and single.

We lived in Palo Alto Plaza for a year before moving out of state, and totally loved the place! They are great at using the space, with no dead space in rooms. So we felt the rooms were more spacious than the square feet shows. They are good at using colors and furniture in common areas and design the areas comfortably. We especially loved the hub and the gym. And more than anything, the management and the maintenance teams are exceptionally great. They were friendly and responsible from day one and throughout our living there, which made us feel at home always. They are quick in responding to whatever maintenance requests, and thus we have never experienced any issue. I have never seen such a great team who make the residents feel so comfortable like they do. If I will be back in the area again, I will definitely go back to Palo Alto Plaza. It is the very best apartment we've ever lived in!

After I have been living here for 9 months, it's time to make a longer review. First of all. It's just a nice place to stay. The location is perfect with tranquility and yet close to shopping and restaurants. The two guys in the office are always friendly, helpful and you are greeted with a smile. If there is something wrong there is always an answer right away. In terms of rental contract, there is nothing to put a finger on. Everything is transparent and you feel safe.
The place itself is quiet and peaceful. An amazingly beautiful garden and pool and there is always neat and clean everywhere. There are constant gardeners and everything is in great condition. You feel safe here as it is a secure calm gated community. Even outside the condo you feel safe at night. If you need help fixing, the service people are very friendly and always on the spot to help.
Joint events are held twice a year. There could be more participants. But I still really like it and it means a lot for those who attend. I think if they made it as just non-committal and unformal that more people would joint over time. There are many singles living here and it could be like a "bring your own beverages" the first Friday every second months. Then it doesen't requiere a lot of efforts from the management. It could be worth a try to create a little more social life and vibes. One last thing, it could be nice if there were a closed facebook group for the residents, so they could communicate between and also arrange things like the unformal friday bar or sell stuff. Also if someone need to borrow anything it could be a great help. Specially for new people who just moved in.
Overall, I am extremely pleased to live here.

The apartment is newly renovated and well kept. Management is responsible and helpful. They have a very nice garden and swimming pool which looks like a resort hotel. The hallway is clean and I saw the staff changing new carpet for it. Maintenance is quick and efficient. We called for clogged sink and got it fixed the same day. Plenty of gated parking lots.

This is the place you want to be if you work in Mountain View or Palo Alto. It has everything you want with great management and service. Neighbors are usually engineers working in nearby IT companies.

I went to tour this community and the managers are so nice! They really went above and beyond in showing me the apartment and the beautiful courtyard! Would definitely recommend!

This apartment perpetually smells. It always smells like paint. The management keeps renovating the apartments without ventilating the hallways or stairwells. The management is cutting corners by not properly ventilating our buildings. I highly recommend looking else where if you have small children. This paint smells are so strong and overpowering.

I could not be happier here at my first apartment. I am really close to school and I am very thankful that the Managers have been so nice to me to make my move here that much easier.

I love the fact that it is more secure than other places. I have already started to use the fitness center and getting back into shape and work off my street.

Moved in 6 months ago and love it here. Got a job at the best company in the world wide web and appreciate the attention that management provides here whenever I have a maintenance problem. I like the security features and the fitness area.highly recommend.
