Latham Square Apartments

Really enjoyed living here!
The apt. is a little strange, in terms of setup: didn’t like the vanity area and the bedroom was super huge, while the living room was not. The kitchen was redone, and the washer and dryer were new, so those aspects were pretty awesome; however, the fact that this place had a washer/​dryer in unit, was near San Antonio Shopping Center, and had great building managers, it’s a win win.
Ramon and Dana are really quick about taking care of requests. The maintenance staff is so friendly and they are always helpful whenever you need something. Even when we had issues (bugs, repairs, etc.), they were super helpful and quick about resolving issues and replacing/​fixing the apt.
I also appreciated how Dana and Ramon didn’t try to «take money from us» when my friend and I moved out; they basically told us that paying for the cleaning service through them is ideal because previous tenants tried cleaning themselves through other professional services and it wasn’t up to standards so they were charged.
The rent is kind of steep but for the area, it seems like other places nearby are just as bad, if not worse.

A really nice place to live. It’s quiet, the staff is very friendly and efficient, and there’s a well-​maintained pool and hot tub that is often free.
I’ve been here about 6 months so far and have no complaints, which is unusual, to say the least.

I have lived at Latham for 6 months now. This is a great apartment complex, thanks to Ramon and Dana. Ramon lives on-​site and is very responsive, same for Dana during her hours (or off-​hours over email). Whenever we had a problem, which were not many or unexpected, they were resolved the same day or maybe the next. They are renovating the apartments, adding W/​D, updating the bathrooms and kitchen, etc. The place is quiet during the day, which is great as I sometimes work from home. Only drawback is that there’s no AC (or where to put one), and it’s starting to get hot during the day.

They will evict you when they think they can get more money.

I lived here for my whole stay in CA (1 year 8 months) and I am all praises for both Ramon and Dana. They always went above and beyond to help with all issues. They even talked to the management to waive off my lease breakage when I had to move across the country due to a job location change.
They were installing W/​D in every apartment when I left and this was the only thing I was missing down there. Great location, great people — highly recommended !!!

I have lived at Latham square for 6 months. I chose the complex because it has a shorter lease term and I knew I would not need to be there for a full year. I really appreciate how friendly and personable Patty was and how easy to talk to Ramone is. Dana is always quick to respond and makes an effort to speak to my toddler whenever he is present. I always try to fix stuff on my own and only call for help as a last resort, but both Ramone and Dana encouraged me to call if I need help.
Here are some examples of good service during my time living at Latham:
1. The toilet kept clogging on and off and then one day I couldn’t unclog it. Ramone sent over someone from maintenance to look at it. We tried everything to fix it but they eventually removed the entire toilet, unclogged it and put it back. This process took a few hours but was over just in time for my son to go to bed. Finally the toilet was fixed and I know it was a lot of work, but it works thankfully!
2. Another example is when they had to do construction, on the balcony nearby, Ramone moved my patio furniture out of the way for storage because I have no way of moving it and no where to put it.
3. Another example is when the laundry washer got stuck, they came right away (like in 15 minutes if I recall right) and they got the washer door to open.
In general they have been, quick to respond, easy to work with and just very ‘real’ down to earth people. I recommend this place for someone who is looking for a comfortable atmosphere where you will be treated like you matter.

I have lived in the Latham Square apartment complex since 2006. I really love this place, the grounds are very well maintained and it has a cozy feeling, yet it is only a street away from El Camino Real and two blocks away from the San Antonio Shopping Center. Within walking distance from Target, Kohls, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, and two excellent Chinese restaurants. The management here is very attentive and friendly. Patty, Ramon and Dana go out of their way to make sure everything is as it should be. Highly recommended!

I moved into this complex on the first of January and have had a wonderful experience thus far! The management (Patty, Ramon, and Dana) are incredibly hard working and responsive. There have been multiple instances when I needed to contact one of them and each have been equally courteous and helpful.
The hot tub, pool house, gym, and laundry facilities are a plus as well. Location is great and pricing is reasonable. I highly recommend this complex.

I moved into this apartment complex at the beginning of July 2009, following a 15 apartment viewing spring in June. I was most impressed with Latham Sq, for it felt both like a home and a neighborhood.
The property has ~80 units in a series of 2-​story buildings, arranged around a pool and hot tub with some general landscaping (much preferable to me than low-​maintenance concrete everywhere like some other places I saw). It’s easy walking distance to San Antonio shopping center (Trader Joe’s, Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, BevMo, and others), Rengstorff park (has tennis courts, volleyball net, etc), and a smattering of stores and restaurants. It’s a long walk or bike ride to Castro St in Mountain View.
The community is on the younger side and apparently many have some sort of affiliation with Stanford. Many people are in their 20s or early 30s, with a few young families and a handful of middle-​aged and elderly. Everyone gets along well, and it’s been a surprisingly quiet place to live (this can sometimes be a problem with an apt complex).
The management (Patty and Ramon) so far have been excellent. They both manage other properties as well, but live at Latham Sq which means they’re readily accessible. I don’t feel like they’re trying to pull the wool over my eyes for anything (eg they’ve been up front about everything from monthly costs to asbestos use), and Ramon in particular has gone out of his way a few times to help me get moved in.
So far, I give it two thumbs up!
