Not good
7/20/23
I've lived here for almost 5 years and my experience continues to get worse every year. Management is AWFUL!! They constantly make changes at random that are an inconvenience to the residences. For example they switched over the payment system for the laundry unit over night with no notice and claimed they had no idea it was going to happen. The washers and dryers are constantly broken and dirty. Don’t expect to get your packages because they are constantly stolen and management refuses to take... responsibility or fix the issue. The only positive is the location and parking.

AVOID THIS PLACE
4/11/23
I had mold in my unit and reported it, maintenance never came so I had to live there for a few weeks until I moved out and lived with my parents until I could find another place.
Seriously, management does not care about you. I was extremely dissatisfied and would never recommend this place to anyone!

Good place at first
11/27/21
So we have been living here for many years and unfortunately, things are getting bad. Leasing office does things without give advance notice that they are going to change some things around the apartment complex. We always have broken laundromats and elevators. The only plus is the parking space and quiet location away from the city.

A gem in a hard time
8/9/15
I am a full time graduate student while simultaneously working full time as well. The city is tough enough without having to worry about housing. I currently got very lucky and landed a private bedroom/bath in a house with 6 other girls. My dream of always wanting to know what it was like to live in a sorority house was rudely awaken when I learned that it isn't my cup of tea. I just want a nice quiet place to call my own. I want somewhere I can curl up and read a nice book at night and night... have to run behind people cleaning up their messes. Though the place isn't my ideal it is home right now and I am grateful. I moved out here from Pennsylvania and the city is a big change for me. The plus sides are I have a very lovely land lady and it isn't too far from my school and job in downtown San Francisco but it would be nice not to have to worry about supporting myself through school and rent.

Property Manager at Lakewood Apartments At Lake Merced responded to this review
I appreciate your detailed feedback regarding your experience living here for nearly five years. I apologize for the inconveniences you've encountered and the frustrations caused by our management practices. Your concerns are valid, and I want to... assure you that we take them seriously and are committed to making improvements.
I apologize for the abrupt switch in the laundry unit payment system without prior notice. That was certainly not our intention, and we acknowledge the importance of clear communication when implementing changes that affect our residents' daily routines.
Regarding the ongoing issues with the washers, dryers, and cleanliness, we understand how frustrating this can be. We are actively working to address these maintenance concerns promptly to ensure that the laundry facilities are functioning properly and kept in a clean condition.
