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.
