Avalon Dublin Station

Avalon Dublin Station is a fantastic community and tenants are lucky to have a management and staff that are as responsive and attentive to detail as they enjoy here. Any time there is a small maintenance issue it is handled quickly and done the right way. Packages are held and tenants are notified immediately. Tenant complaints are taken seriously, and management has gone out of its way on multiple occasions to make things right. I’ve been living here as one of the original tenants, and it has been a great experience. You can’t go wrong here — especially with the new retail next door. ..

Don’t seem to have SAP employees anymore. It’s seriously an amazing spot to live. It’s just so expensive!

One of the finest & a modern place to live. Excellent infrastructure, welcoming hosts (leasing office) and state of the art gym.
The living conditions are one of the best in the entire Bay with so much of quick access to the freeways, shopping complexes and grocery stores.
I am so much thankful for this move in. No wonder the leasing prices are soaring due to high demand.

Let me preface this by saying that we’ve lived here for roughly 9 months and have lived in about 8 – 9 other apartment complexes prior to Avalon at Dublin Station over the past 5 years or so.
With hat out of the way, I can honestly say Avalon is the best place we’ve ever rented. The location is prime (literally across the street from BART and close to a lot of shopping and the movie theater), the facilities and apartments are brand new, and the staff is second to none. I have had very few interactions with the office staff beyond my initial apartment walk through and the occasional office visit to pick up packages, but they have remembered my name. They make it a point to deliver superb customer satisfaction and do so with flying colors. Furthermore, the maintenance staff is astounding. Always friendly, always willing to help, and always going above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Another fantastic feature is that all of the walls have ply wood between them and the insulation. What does this mean? It means that the walls are completely soundproof. I’ve never once heard my neighbors on the sides of me (above is a different story), and that’s a HUGE bonus.
That’s not to say that this place isn’t without its problems. Most of the tenants seem to be entitled jerks that don’t care about anyone else (the way they treat the garbage rooms is absolutely disgusting and the neighbors above us seem to be brain dead in terms of awareness of others and the hours of the day they chose to scream and play loud music and tv), and the parking situation is becoming increasingly frustrating as almost no spots are available anymore to park after certain hours). But all in all, Avalon is fantastic and we have loved every minute of it.
Oh, also, my apartment faces he highway and BART (I could literally throw a rock and hit someone waiting for the train) and we have ZERO noise whatsoever from the freeway or the train. None. Zip. Nada. I have no idea what the other person complaining about noise is talking about.

Pluses:
Fully equipped apartments, includes washer & dryer, electric stove, oven, dishwasher.
Next to the BART station.
Wonderful location, access to many commercial establishments on Dublin Boulevard (e.g. Chipotle in walking distance).
Reasonably quiet community (most of the times).
The staff including Shaima and Erica and the ground staff have been smiling and helpful.
Minuses:
No play area for kids to gather :(.
No assigned parking spaces.

It was really a bad bad bad decision to move here. I would never move here if I can choose once more. This review is Not only for me, also for my roommate and one of my friends who is also living here. We moved to a room close to Bart station. As a concern, we asked and confirmed there would be no noise coming from the highway or bart. But as you know, it is really bad noise from Bart and highway. The most worse part is, we were never notified there would be a construction every early morning close to our bedroom to wakes us up. Oh god, it is so loud that me and my roommate can never sleep since early morning for about two month and it is still ongoing. We talked to the office and guess what? They told us to pay transfer fee to move to a quieter room. Okay, so they knew this place is not quiet and they would not give up the chance to make more money. We are baring a bad sleep and bad health these day.
I think you can all see that they leave a message tell me that I can call them to talk, I just called, when I ask for the manager, Erica the staff told me he was not there, and when I asked it again and again I talked to the manager finally, I told him our problem and unhappiness, but he is very rude and I was forced to cry. They are just not helpful at all.

If i thought this place couldnt get better i was wrong. Going through personal issues had a lot to deal with in changing my lease and Erica helped out so much i was amazed and grateful. Ive lived in plenty of places where they dont work with and help you. Erica made me feel like the only tenant here through out all the paperwork! I recommend this place if you wanted to be treated like a person more then just a tenant. Thanks again Erica!

I am a new renter in the Avalon Dublin Station apartments and they’ve done a wonderful job to make it as smooth and convenient as possible for us. My friend currently resides and is moving into the two bedroom with myself. Erica was our community consultant, and she is great! Did her best to make sure we got the place we wanted and that everything was perfect. We couldn’t be happier with her work and the company!

I have lived here for almost one year now so I thought it would be a good time to update my review. When I wrote my review I did not live here yet, but the way I was treated through the leasing process pretty much showed me how my stay here was going to be. This community is the best. We love our apartment, we love our view and we love the centralized location. Everything in the Bay Area is close to Dublin. I don’t think you could get any closer to a Bart station if you tried. I don’t even commute on Bart but I love that option.
What really makes it an outstanding community is the staff. From the community manager Nick (truly a great guy), the leasing staff and all the maintenance people, they are all great. If you have any kind of problem they are on it. Quick and efficient. People complained that the pool was too cold and not heated, so they figured out a way to heat it and now it seems perfect. The gym is amazing. It is like a health club. Free weights, weight machines, aerobic area, tons of ellipticals and treadmills (no waiting ever) if you live here you might as well cancel that gym membership, because you will not need it.
If you look at any of the negative reviews about this community you will notice that they all revolve around the non-​permanent resident SAP people. I was never effected by that because I live in a different part of the building. But nonetheless that problem has been solved. They aren’t here anymore. Another example of the staff listening to the community. There is also a negative review from a guy who doesn’t even live here and never has.
We love Avalon Dublin Station and until we buy a home, this we will be our home. Top notch all the way around.

The building, apartment, parking garage, bbq, pool, gym, security, location to freeway, bart, even the staff all amazing.
my one complaint would be the noise from the freeway, cant sleep with my windows open, oh and the people above me walk around with bricks on their feet but I guess thats apartment living.
beautiful building, apartment and staff.
would recommend if you can deal with some noise

Loud parties, almost every night, and the management is incapable of controlling this. Stay away.

It’s 2 AM on a Tuesday and I’m compelled to update. Why? Because the police (not after hours security) had to come and break up a party that was going on since at least 12:30 am when we were woken by the noise.
Although we called after hours security they either didn’t come or the people ignored them. So we called again a hour later since they were still going and they finally said they’d dispatch the police.
In speaking with the police, even they know who the SAP folk are. I asked what I should do if they were to start up once the police leave and the officer replied that the situation as he understands it is that a local company over here rents these units and they’re mostly young people who like to throw parties all the time and make a lot of noise. He said I can keep calling and he can cite them for noise violations but that the management should be doing something about this.
From Avalons website:
«Our core values define our standards of behavior and guide our decisions:
A COMMITMENT TO INTEGRITY
Do the right thing — always
A SPIRIT OF CARING
Genuine kindness and concern for others
A FOCUS ON CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Always trying to do better»
If these really are your core values you’ll respond to this review and to the numerous complaints by fixing the KNOWN issue, unless doing the right thing is continuing to let an issue even the police are aware of is your idea of the right thing.
Congratulations SAP and Avalon Dublin Station, it’s so bad that the police in a town with one of the largest prisons in all of America are aware of the problems in this rental community.

Really nice location for commuting to SF. Swimming pool, gym and BBQ area are all ready to use. Cross the street to Bart station and all buses. The only thing is the construction around the buildings. A little bit noisy. Everything else is great, they have great stuff in the office.

This place is brand new and basically, you feel like you live in a hotel because everything is inside. However, they have literally no availability… Their prices are VERY high, even for this high-​end area. They do not have waiting lists for below market housing. I wish I could live here because it’s so nice, but geez for the price of a 1 bedroom, 1 bath of over $ 2,000, you can afford a 5 bedroom house with a pool in Mountain House, CA.

I moved in to Avalon Dublin Station in January and was one of the first people to move into this delightful community. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE the staff here especially NICK he is AMAZING he is above and beyond wonderful and has made me feel so welcome and I love my new Home. The rest of the staff and the maintenance team is also wonderful they are always there to meet your needs and do everything possible to ensure your happiness at your new Home. Nick is not only an incredible asset to the Avalon Communities Company but he is also overall a genuinely great person who truly is passionate about his job and dedicated to his work and ensuring the happiness of all the residents in the community. I am always constantly running into him seeing him constantly improving the complex and always smiling and genuinely friendly and care about the residents in our community. It is very rare to have his great qualities and I am very lucky to have him as our community manager in addition to his wonderful staff. Besides the people this is a gorgeous and brand new community which includes everything you need and want in a home and much more. It is very modern and upscale and certainly Luxury Style and Resort Living and is also close to everything and very safe and quiet. The gym is Amazing and the pool is brand new and will be ready in a week by April! Super excited for that and just in time for SUMMER! I love living here and I recommend it to all my friends and family. I’ve lived in three other Avalon Communities and several other Apartment communities which are also brand new and luxury style living and this is by far the BEST. It’s HOME and i LOVE my new Home.

Okay! So lets start from the beginning. I used to love Avalon in fact I currently live at the old Avalon next door which is now called Eclipse or whatever. Before the new company took over Avalon failed to notify its current residents that they were leaving and none of the old employees would be their anymore, they stopped all services for trash and maintaining the property altogether. You know why? the entire time they knew they were building a phase two next door and selling off the dump they created before they left it onto someone else. Avalon employees continued to lie and tell there residents that they would be able to use the gym next door, the pool, they could transfer to the new one and more. Fast forward to today I attempted to use my key card for the new gym and it didn’t work! I go back to my apartment and was told «sorry your probably not gong to be able to use the gym next door since we are now two different communities» thanks Avalon for making me look like an idiot and I’m sure other residents have tried as well.
Also Avalon attempted to call and recruit me to come over to the new property! I guess they are that desperate to get business that they are trying to steal there current competitions residents! NO LOYALTY AT ALL TO US
Wow Avalon you have nerves to freaking call me after you just dumped your current place without saying anything! Go to HELL! I will never live at another Avalon community. I have no animosity to the current staff EXCEPT the girl who called me to leave my current place to go over to theirs. I have toured the community and it is nice but the floor plans are exactly the same as where I live now. The only difference between the two is that one is new and the other is either 6 – 7 years old which is still really new. When I toured the community it was nice but not nice enough for me to leave where I live now knowing what I know about Avalon.
BEWARE OF AVALON COMMUNITIES!!!
If I had a choice of where I live now and Avalon directly next door I would chose Eclipse. In the beginning they struggled with the residents but I’m sure its because Avalon wanted them to fail and steal their business. Now that its been almost a year Eclipse has definitely showed that they are better than Avalon. They keep the trash taken care of, maintenance is done timely and the residents seem more at ease with the new manager Todd. To be honest my lease is coming up for renewal and I will not be renewing where I currently live. NOT because of the staff at Eclipse, they have made big changes for the better of the community and keep it cleaning than Avalon has ever done but I will be moving to Connolly Station because of Mary. CONNOLLY STATION APARTMENTS! They are unique, different and the staff seems very honest especially Mary. She toured me around and gave me all the details I needed to know this week to make a positive decision. She made my day and made Connolly feel like home just during the tour and I cant wait to see what they have in store for the residents.
