People that go out of their way to review things online are much more likely to be angry/dissatisfied, thus giving a potentially unrealistic view of whatever they are reviewing. I'm going to add a quick review to this place to add a little balance to the mix.
My experience at Foothill so far has been very pleasant and positive.
1.The apartments are large, clean, and the facilities look very new (they were built in the 70's, can't believe the facelift they gave the place turned out so good!)
2.Great amenities: 2 pools, a hot tub, a 24/7 gym (small but clean and w new equipment!)
3. Large, fully staffed office! This is one of the biggest advantages to me. If you have any problems, questions, or maintenance requests, the office is always open/willing to help all day, till 6PM. Also open for a bit on saturday. Once my AC broke, and it was fixed within 2 hours! I can't overstate how great it is to have maintenance requests filled same day!
4. The application process was fairly simple. There were a few other places that were complete dumps, and their application process made it seem as if they were a rich gated community. There's this guy Ken that works at the office that is way nice and helpful/cool.
5. Quiet. I almost NEVER hear any neighbors. The walls are thick, and I never hear any "thuds" or creaks from the guys above me. The only time I can hear any faint noises is if I go into the bathroom and the guy above me is also in the bathroom.
As of right now, I can't think of any negatives. I guess the non-refundable deposit was a little annoying. As I continue to live here, if any substantial negatives start popping up, I will update this review.
