The 1960

The 1960 has been the perfect Goldilocks apartment that my girlfriend and I searched for over months. It strikes the ideal balance in every way. Not only does it feel extremely safe, but it’s also in an incredible downtown location. The community itself is exceptionally well maintained — even down to the details. The building always smells clean (which honestly can’t be said for many apartments in the area), and the amenities make day-to-day life easier and more enjoyable. The gym, pool, and trash valet service are all genuinely useful, not just “nice to have.” The staff here are truly unbeatable. Emily and Sophia at the front office are absolute rockstars and embody what hospitality and care should look like. They are always approachable, never too busy, and make you feel heard. That experience is matched by the outstanding maintenance team, Kevin and Max, who handle any issue quickly and thoroughly. Their responsiveness, diligence, and attention to detail really set them apart.

My husband and I have lived here for 3 years , and it’s been wonderful. The sense of community is really unmatched. The amenities including the rooftop and grill, the clubhouse, the gym and the heated pool are lovely. The staff including Emily, Sofia, and Jose are all amazing, and are becoming friends of ours. They give ample notice whenever they have to test fire alarms, etc. Don’t even get me started on how great the location is. Overall, I highly recommend living here!

My husband and I just finished relocating back to No Cal from AZ 5 days ago and we had looked at several apartment complexes in the Spring including The 1960. We were unfamiliar with Walnut Creek having lived in the Oakland/Montclair area in the past. We worked with Sophia at the time and when we sold our AZ home in November we reconnected. Before our final decision was made I revisited 3 of our top apartment choices and each time The 1960 stood out as number 1! Sophia and team have made this transition incredibly easy. Their flexibility, positivity, and desire to help made a challenging experience turn into a positive one. We are so grateful for Sophia, Emily, Max, Kevin, and Vincenza for their help, overall support and “can do” attitude. Sophia was our first tour guide and she was key to orchestrating the right move for us. She and The 1960 team are amazing. Thank you all!

As a vendor partner for this community, I can honestly say working with Sophia and Emily has been an outstanding experience! They are professional, responsive, and always go above and beyond to make the process smooth and efficient. Their attention to detail and friendly approach make collaboration easy and enjoyable. We truly value this partnership and look forward to continuing to work together!

Emily and Sophia are hands down the two most amazing managers and supervisors I have ever met! Thoughtful, courteous, fair and all around beautiful girls! Very inspiring when looking for a new place to live. They can't be beat!!

I've been living at the 1960 Apartments for the past few months, and it's been a great experience. The team that manages the property does a fantastic job keeping things running smoothly and making residents feel at home. The events they host are well put together, with plenty of food and drinks, and they make an effort to ensure everyone has a good time. I’d definitely recommend checking out the 1960 as your next place to live.

Absolutely loved our time living at The 1960 building! It truly felt like a spa-like oasis—with a pristine, resort-style pool, rooftop patio with BBQ’s and lounge areas with fire pits, and a gym that was always clean and well-equipped. The amenities are top-tier, and the community events every month made it feel like home. The front of house staff were beyond amazing—welcoming, friendly, and always helpful. We also loved the package lockers for the added peace of mind. Pet- and kid-friendly, yet the whole place has the vibe of a luxury hotel. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to live! Highly recommend!

My wife and I have a lot of experience living in these corporate-owned rental apartment buildings between living in New York City and the Bay Area. This type of housing and the management staff are typically awful, very superficial, and low quality even though the rent is insane. I usually salivate at the opportunity to destroy these apartments with truthful but fair and honest Google and Yelp reviews. However, this one is different. The 1960, was probably our only bright spot living in Walnut Creek, which was a very short period of time coming from New York City. Put simply, we are city people not suburbanites, but we managed to enjoy our time living at the 1960. We've lived at a few buildings in WC and the staff at the 1960 was easily the best to live/work with. They were genuinely helpful and nice people to be around and live with. Typically, once a building signs you to a lease, the friendliness ends there because there is no incentive for them to be nice to you anymore. This was 100% true when we lived at the Waymark which is across the way from the 1960. However, Sophia, Emily, Isabella, and Jose were just really cool people, people you would want to hang around outside of work or away from home. They did their jobs when they were supposed to and always did it in a professional and timely fashion. 1960 itself wasn't the best building we've ever lived at, I was not too fond of the location on the corner of Ygnacio and Main and the quality of the building itself and appliances were not exactly A+ (none of these rental buildings are), regardless the entire cumulative experience ranks towards the top in terms of total package. This is just me saying thank you to the staff for going above and beyond for us, they really did. Also, I understand that not everyone has or will have the same experience, maybe you will have a better or worse experience, but ours was a really good one. Good luck.

My husband and I have lived here for 3 years, and it's been wonderful. The sense of community is really unmatched. The amenities including the rooftop and grill, the clubhouse, the gym, and the heated pool are lovely. The staff including Emily, Sofia, and Jose (our maintenance guy, neighbor, and friend) are all amazing. They give ample notice whenever they have to test the fire alarms, etc. Don't even get me started on how great the location is. Overall, I highly recommend living here!

I recently toured The 1960 and was so impressed by everything. The staff was warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in throughout the whole tour. The facility is not only beautiful but well maintained. I looked at three different apartments and was equally impressed by all three. The closet space!!! The staff member I toured with, Emily, did a great job showing all the community features and impressed me by knowing the name of every resident we bumped into. Looking forward to living here in the future.
