I previously posted a one star rating for this building based on initial interactions. However after meeting the building manager in person and seeing the units that were available I was truly impressed with what they had to offer. A small boutique community with a modern feel, great views of the Oakland hills and downtown and centrally located in a quaint neighborhood. The building manager was engaging, super easy to talk to and made the tour fun. Looking forward to possibly living at The Maya.

TLDR: Expensive, poor quality, and non-existent management. DONT MOVE HERE!Ill start with the good, the apartments look great with lots of natural light and wood finish floors. The building is in a great location if you like dining out (but not so great during shelter in place though), and is half a mile from MacArthur BART.Unfortunately thats where the list of positives end.There are serious noise issues with the apartments. The floors are thin, cheap, and wooden, so if you want to hear the residents above and next to you moving around all day and night then Maya is the place for you!The management used to be good, but the manager mentioned in other reviews has since left, and management is now non-existent. There is no longer a leasing or management office in the building, and all my attempts to contact them are met with total silence.Parking is very limited and overpriced, and Ive heard from other residents that the entrance gate is faulty. Dont bet on getting a spot anytime soon, as many spots are contracted to a corporate housing company, which means they cant be rented even if they just sit empty. On top of that, there is no wait list and management just shrugs when you ask if/when a spot will be available. If you park your car on the street, theres a very high chance it will be broken into too.There are a lot of hidden fees bundled on top of your rent every month, garbage, management, and admin fees are all added on top of the base rent and all are mandatory except for pet rent, so we pay at least $200 more than the listed rate per month. None of these fees are mentioned before move in, so beware!Many appliances were poorly installed, and some just plain broken, and it took multiple maintenance requests to get things that were obviously broken fixed, while management tried to deny the issues. Even now, almost a year later we still have issues with the appliances in the unit that are unresolved as management arent even responding to maintenance requests any more.Id strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

Been living here for 11 months now. Trying to give my 30 day notice before I move out at the end of my lease and I can’t get a hold of anyone. The physical office inside the building is closed, email bounces back and the voicemail I leave is not being returned. What am I suppose to do? Awful management, look elsewhere. It started out ok, but now it’s poorly managed.

I recently toured the Maya Apartments in Oakland and was instantly sold. The units are modern and brand spanking new. The units seem much larger than what they actually are and have everything you need. The location is great and I cannot wait for Brendas to open up on the ground floor. The amazing views of the San Francisco and Oakland skyline just adds to everything as well. Highly recommend this place for anyone!

Great location with tons of nearby stores and food options. I thought that all of the units had a great layout, modern kitchen design and brand new appliances. All of the windows were huge and I loved how much natural lighting it brought into the whole space. Great staff too, they were able to show me how I could make apartment living feel more like home, even in a busy city like Oakland.

After taking a tour of the Maya Apartments I am thoroughly impressed. Large windows were in every unit which let in lots of natural light, making the spaces feel bigger than they already are! The kitchens had beautiful fixtures which highlighted the openness of the floor plans. The community decks were a wonderful addition to me, I could see myself enjoying a dinner with friends while taking in a great view of Oakland and the San Francisco skyline.

Cristian and the staff are great to deal with. This building is brand new and in an amazing location. And one of my favorite restaurants Brendas from SF is moving into the ground floor corner. I am very excited.

Non existent management. Can never get in touch with anyone
