Update: I am over halfway through with my lease and this is an awful place to live. The management does nothing to resolve issues. My favorite thing I have heard is "I want to resolve this as soon as possible. I will call someone tomorrow for you" Maintenance has come into my apartment without permission a number of times. Management will never respond to emails, phone calls, or messages. Parking is atrocious and has caused several issues amongst tenants. Let's get this out of the way first. It isn't cheap. No property in the Prometheus Group is. You get what you pay for though. The amenities are great and the staff is wonderful. Everyone is so friendly. I will say that the staff isn't always responsive to my requests but they have a new building coming up so I understand that things get busy. The atmosphere is so pleasant that it makes up for it. The staff also went out of their way to make me feel welcome and to make my transition seamless. At this time construction is going on and I have noticed that the workers can block some parking spots. You will definitely have a sense of pride living in this or any Prometheus property. The location of Madrone also plays a key role. It's close to downtown Mountain View and has easy access to the 101. From what I have seen, everything is being updated in all Prometheus properties and it's so refreshing to see a complex that is up to date. I will edit this as I continue through my lease.

Caltrain horns are horrible. If your windows are facing the trains it's a nightmare. New buildings are facing the road and Caltrain tracks and there is nothing in between. With closed windows and earplugs you still hear the horns starting very early in the morning.

I have been here for about 2 months now and I like it. It is pretty quiet and green. The staff is very helpful and prompt especially Amanda. There is some construction going on but i have never been affected by noise or dust etc. Walls are definitely thin therefore no loud music else it will disturb neighbors. But I have never had any problem with the noise in the night. I was initially concerned with the ratings for this apartment but once i visited the office i liked the staff and the community.

It's okay, not like what yelp said

Prices fluctuate drastically; buildings and appliances are old; maintenance is hit-or-miss. Lots of trees, though, and the outdoor environment is pleasant. Some of the apartments are a little too close to the train tracks.
