University Park Apartments — Local services in Berkeley

Management changed in early 2020. David the new manager is horrible. Lied about the buyout offer after we decided to move out (we gave our notice after hearing about the offer, no response from the manager), construction during wfh situation in the pandemic which caused distress during work hours (they stopped it for a few weeks, probably no permission), irresponsible and irresponsive (calls and phone calls didn’t reach manager until I cc’ed the property management company owners), flew a drone illegally into our Neighbors window and harassed them when they were out of town (neighbor was warned about being towed though he had permission), had their pet dog running in the corridor to impress a girl he was with (building has a strict no dog policy). He's a fraudster and bully, I work at UC Berkeley and my neighbor did too. If we, employees of the university are treated this way, I can't imagine how the students will be. Or probably it’s for only foreigners since we usually don’t follow up with legal complaints. BEWARE and...

Update in2025 the company owning our bldg is in bankruptcy, stay away.

I have lived here for 10 yr. There are good and bad for sure. First of, you can rell any on this web site that say "the renovations are so nice," they are definitely fake... none of the renovation's are for anyone who already stay here, just redoing unoccupied unit, nothing for me but a bunch of constant all day water shut off. Noisy neigborhoid from Shattuck which a major street. Since current mgr David took over, its been a pretty rotten place to live even tho the location is great and I can park off the street. But, good luck if I need anything from mgr now. We do have laundry, but 6 washers and dryers to share with 2 big buildings worth have other people and too machines are always braking down so good luck with that. I usedo like it here but would definitely not recommend it any more! I will include some pics too so u can see, not the wonder land of heaven like in...

I lived here at University Park Apartments for over an year

Pros 15 minute walk to the nearest Bart station The Manager here is nice, understanding, and responsive to any issues within the complex. 7-8 minute walk to the Berkeley campus which is very convenient lot of nice food, restaurants, and the nearest grocery store is 6 minute Andronico food market. The view of the sunset is very nice

Cons The only con in my personal experience is my neighbor. I believe a other student living here commented here on the review of "loud banging and screaming" she would scream at her bf nonstop 10pm-4am every single night. This was my only issue since there were so many pros I decided to continue living here at the complex.

For students I recommend living here at University...
