“I am a former resident of The Villa at San Mateo. I truly enjoyed my experience while living at the Villa. Management is very friendly and accommodating. Qiana and Stephanie, hands down, have been very positive, responsive, and helpful. I can truly say they are a five-star team!
The monthly activity calendar holds fun and engaging things to do that encourage socializing with neighbors. I especially love the interior decor that gives the place an extra flair of extravagance; in addition, the exterior palm trees by the pool extend a feeling of being on vacation and make for enjoyable relaxation any time of day.”

“This is a wonderful community; management is responsive, and the area is always clean, organized, and peaceful. Rolando, who takes care of maintenance requests, is not only highly professional and efficient but also incredibly kind and respectful. He always completes every job with great care and attention to detail. It’s reassuring knowing he’s in-house and always ready to help. The surrounding nature is beautiful, and many units even offer lovely views. I highly recommend living here.”

“Living here was overall a pleasant and enjoyable experience. The management (Sabrina and Charlie) and maintenance teams were very responsive and did an excellent job of addressing any concerns. If you can tour and like what you see, I would recommend living here.

Pros:
- Staff
- Value (my unit had in-unit laundry, though not all units do)
- Parking availability for guests
- Proximity to Safeway and Waterdog Park

Cons:
- Distance from 101 and public transit
- Older establishment (nothing is too jank, so not an issue if you’re able to tour in person and are okay with it)
- Poor noise isolation. I was never bothered by my neighbors, but it will probably be an issue if you want to have frequent social gatherings.”

“I’ve been living at Park Place at San Mateo Apartments and couldn’t be happier with my experience! The community is clean, well-maintained, and conveniently located near shops, restaurants, and public transportation. The management team is responsive and professional — always willing to help and quick to resolve any issues.
This is a great place to live — quiet, safe, and comfortable. Highly recommend it!”

“Bonnie Brae Terrace is a great place for seniors to live independently. The rooms are nice, they include two meals a day, and they accommodate people with disabilities. They have an amazing team, and Makel (the adsistant manager) was extremely helpful and patient throughout the whole process. Everyone there so far seems really nice and helpful. They even have a social worker on site who helps connect seniors with all kinds of resources. I would definitely recommend this place for seniors. They even have movie nights!”

“We’ve been here about six months and we’ve been really happy with the property. Helen is by far the best building manager either of us have ever had (I mean honestly, even in other “luxury” apartments have you ever seen another manager who is always in the office during open hours? She’s so easy to reach!), and the other staff are wonderful too. We’ve been impressed with how on top of regular maintenance they are—it’s clean, landscaped, and the few issues have always been dealt with proactively and quickly.”

“I lived in this apartment for about five years and had a truly great experience. The management team is outstanding, having lived in several luxury apartments before, I can confidently say this was the most responsive management I’ve had. I rarely needed maintenance since nothing really broke, but on the few occasions I did, they showed up within a couple of hours.

The neighborhood is very safe and extremely walkable, with easy access to Caltrain. If you’re lucky enough to get a second floor unit like I did, the oversized patio/deck is a huge bonus, perfect for hosting BBQs and incredibly convenient for going back and forth to the pool.

You’ll hear some Caltrain noise, but that’s unavoidable if you want to live close to downtown and caltrain. While the building itself is older, all the units are renovated, clean, and well maintained. I recommended this apartment to several friends, and they’ve also been happily living here for years. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here and would absolutely recommend it.”
