Sofi Poway

Many pros of living here but also many cons mostly relating to hidden costs and excessive use of 3rd party services. This is long but a MUST READ FOR PROSPECTIVE RENTERS. CONS: So I stay in a one bedroom. It was renovated in 2017. It is in good shape but the sink is not really updated. No hose function. The fake brown granite counters in kitchen and bathroom are hideous. For the one bedroom rent is $2288. When I was signing the lease I was told I was only responsible for SDGE and not water or trash fees. That was a lie. I am charged $72.53 a month on top of rent for water sewer and trash fees. The rent and fees final bill is provided monthly by a company called conservice and renters absorb the cost of that service at $4.75 a month. So you are not only paying rent you are paying water sewe

I have been living at Sofi Apartments for approximately two and a half years. From the beginning, the rent was higher compared to nearby apartment communities; however, I accepted it at the time. Now, my concern and frustration have significantly increased due to the substantial difference between my current rent and the pricing currently being offered for similar units within the same community. There are currently multiple vacant units available, and new residents are being offered one month free on a 13-month lease. The advertised rates for comparable one-bedroom units range between $2,078 and $2,153, which brings the effective monthly cost to approximately $1,900 after the concession. In contrast, my one-bedroom rent is $2,590. Including water and sewer charges — which were not clear

I would not recommend living at Sofi Poway. I have lived in a total of 4 different apt complexes/bldgs in SD & living at Sofi Poway was by far the worst of all of them. From the beginning mgmt seemed somewhat disorganized. When I moved in & asked the leasing agent where my mailbox was located, she didn’t know & basically told me to wander around & look for it. Another example is the lack of transparency around some of the fees. During my apt tour I specifically asked about parking fees & was told there weren’t any unless you had 3 or more cars (I don’t). However, when the Offer to Lease was sent it included a parking fee. I was also charged a monthly renters insurance fee the first couple of months which was never disclosed, & despite the fact I had my own policy from Day 1 & uploaded it

Toured the property today and it was honestly a very disappointing experience. The whole property feels really depressing and looks very dirty/unkept. Our tour guide had an attitude and didn’t seem like she genuinely cared about the tour. We toured the 2 bedroom unit, which had so many problems I can’t even type them all out. 2 of the 6 bathroom light bulbs were out, and the other 4 were all different colors. There was rust and mildew built up all over the bathroom mirror. I asked her if this is how the apartment would be if we were to move in, and she said “yes” while looking right at all the broken/mismatched lightbulbs, lol. All the balconies are dirty and filled with spider webs and people’s random belongings that they like to keep on display. The floors in the living room were creakin

We moved here a month ago & there aren't enough positive words to express how amazing the entire staff is! Everyone made the process incredibly easy & all questions answered in a timely manner. This is the perfect place to call home! 😊
