I am really surprised by the overwhelmingly negative reviews of this apartment building. I lived at Alta/ Skyline for a year and a half moving out a few months ago due to buying a house. This was certainly the nicest apartment I have ever lived in. The layout of the apartment was open and made it feel extremely large. The facilities were well maintained (gym, game room area, and pool) and cleaned daily (I personally observed this). The staff from both Mark Taylor and Weidner were nice and I never had an issue with service requests. I will say that there were things that were not wonderful : the rent was very pricey (as much as a mortgage or more), the man who did clean the hallways was always smoking, making the hallways smell like cigarettes, we had an issue at move in with installing direcTV...saying we couldn't drill any holes, but I know everyone else with a dish had a small hole drilled, the tiles in the kitchen did crack easily, and the cabinets were made of some cheapy (almost like paper) on top of plain wood with some pieces just randomly falling off after living there for about a year.... but it's an apartment, so I'm not sure what people expect...do they want marble counter tops in an apartment? A little ridiculous. The location is great and I met a lot of cool people here... I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place.
PS I never had bugs here, that was awesome
PPS They use some really nice smelling cleaning product in the elevator
PPPS When I moved out, I was charged about 50$ for cleaning and that's it plus the walk through was very relaxed.... I spent 5 or so hours cleaning, but hey, the guy who said they charged over 1000$ to either had a lot of damage or the policy changed in a very short period of time.
