The 1960

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 have been living here for over a year and honestly, it's the best apartment I've ever lived in. My husband also loves it here and we can't say enough good things about the great staff at the front desk, fast response times, and how efficiently maintenance takes care of any fixes we need. We had our wedding recently and they were able to let us rent a short-term rental for my parents and the staff let us borrow extra chairs last-minute even when the office was closed, which we greatly appreciated. We also love The 1960's centralized location as the food and shopping options in downtown Walnut Creek are hard to beat. We're also fans of the modern design of the apartment and that the walls are well-insulated, so you don't hear your neighbors. They also plan monthly events that are a lot of fun and a hit with residents. Until we (one day) buy a home, we'll be settled here. :)

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 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!

I've been at the 1960 for a year and a half and have mostly positive things to say about this complex. Before moving to Walnut Creek, I checked out five places and all were perfectly fine for me to move into. The two factors that tipped the scale for me were cost and the ladies at the office. The 1960 building is modern. It's not luxurious but it also doesn't carry that price tag. I don't hear my neighbors to either side. Great walls! I hear my upstairs neighbor here and there but the sound is subdued that it doesn't bug me at all. The rooms are well-maintained and appliances work fine. The gym is not big at all. If there are three or more people in it, it feels crowded. Luckily, not many residents use it. The location is fantastic. It's close to the freeway so I can zip to 24 or 680 within a few minutes. I can also walk downtown in 10 minutes. Most people are welcoming and friendly. Thank goodness there are no deadbeats here - at least I don't see any on my floor. Why did I ultimately choose the 1960? The first consideration was cost. This place was the best value for me. The second was the ladies up front. When it came down to this place and the other near the Bart station, there was no comparison. The ladies at the 1960 need to get a raise. During the time I've been here, Sophia and Emily have been quick to help out in any way and resolve any issue. This includes handling my packages (even when I was on vacation), replacing an appliance, and simply printing one document when I was in a hurry. They are also great at setting up monthly events. The 1960 feels like a community and that begins with Sophia and Emily. Is the 1960 perfect? Nope. The elevators will be out of service and there are alarms several times a year. Residents will need to evacuate the building for up to half an hour and this is a pain in the butt. As aforementioned, the gym is small. Try to get over it. But every complex has issues - look at all the reviews. For time being, I'm pretty satisfied to be in my tiny studio in this safe and friendly community.

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!!

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 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.
