Great place close to freeway, great restaurants around, grocery stores and shopping Center. If you have kids this fall-under Poway’s school district

The new rules at this facility are terrible. I can’t wait to move out and move into Carmel Landing. Carmel Landing is the better apartment complex over Cresta Bella by far.

Terrible services here. Don’t recommend.

I lived in Cresta Bella apartments for more than a year. Very clean apartments, lots of guest parking spaces, and professional management. Close to restaurants, shopping malls, and biking trails goes all the way to the beach.Definitely recommend this place to anyone likes to live in Carmel Mountain area.

Have a love-hate relationship with Cresta Bella.Love:* Polite management* Quick turnaround on maintenance calls* Fantastic pool area, gym, property in general* Nice apartments insideHate:* Not the best value. Rents quick to go way up when your lease is.* Incredibly loud neighbors which the management will do nothing about*Useless after hours security company that doesnt answer calls (always voicemail and they never follow up)On the noise - we have an neighbor with a car that has straight pipes (aka no muffler nor catalytic converter). I have complained to the management and to the neighbor directly. Other neighbors have as well as I have seen it myself. When he starts his car (at all hours day and night) it sounds like a cannon going off, even with the doors and windows closed. This is not an exaggeration. He frequently sets off car alarms in the area. Fun stuff to listen to at 5 AM on a weekend. To add insult to injury he always guns the throttle on his way out for extra noise. Nobody will address the issue and its going to be our reason we wont be extending our lease when it is up.

This is a great place to live. The neighbors and staff that live here are all friendly.

My wife and I have lived in this wonderful place going on 3 years and have encountered minor but no major problems. We love this place. We recommend it to whomever we know who are looking for an apartment. Our car is protected from the day to day beat of the sun because our apartment provides a garage. We have no problems with neighbors, etc. I am writing this review because I dont understand why tenants wound be unhappy or people writing bad reviews. I know a tenant who was unhappy but he caused his own problems and not following rules.

Very nice looking complex, nice pool and a large assortment of apartments

As rent prices rise in San Diego, we found it important to find an apartment that would give you a fair return on your investment. Cresta Bella does that beautifully. We stayed in the townhouse style.Here are the things to love:The garage has more space than other garages we have experienced. We do not have to push the mirrors in when parking in order to not scrape them. In addition, there is enough room to park an SUV and also still keep a storage rack beside of the vehicle in the garage. The garage also has a light, which was a nice feature, very nice for loading and unloading your car at night. There is a lovely raised platform as well, which you can use for storage, or if you are the DIY type, it would work well for a workbench. The other nice detail about the garage is that there is a parking stop, a piece of concrete that looks like those you find in parking lots, that you can position and use to determine where to safely bring your car to a park without running into your other belongings.The garage is also pretty, and looks like a regular room in your house since they paint it the same color as the interior of the house so if you like to hang artwork or posters in your garage, you have a nice and enjoyable base.The square footage in the house is nicely divided into practical spaces. We had an unusually large set of Queen bedroom furniture and it fit in the master bedroom with plenty of room to spare. The master bathroom had really high ceilings, which invites you to decorate with nice artwork. The bathroom also has a classy granite top sink with drawers for storage in addition to cabinets. We never lacked for organizational space.The view from the patio is gorgeous, you will see changing mountains in the background every day, the shifting landscape is as refreshing as the cool and fresh mountain air that comes from your next door neighbor, the Black Mountain Open Space Park.The kitchen is nice and open, with plenty of room for appliances like a juicer or steamer. The laundry room is quiet because it has its own little room and you can close the door and even do laundry at night peacefully. There is also extra storage space in the laundry room for things like a broom, or vacuum cleaner with room to spare.The living room has a fireplace that will actually heat the entire room, which is rare for gas fireplaces. The carpet is nice and plush.They have a very functional business center. The kids come and play games while the adults can relax with complimentary tea or coffee in a very chill business lounge.The clubhouse is very classy. There were a lot of parties hosted here and there is always enough room for everyone. Parking may be a bit of an issue for your guests, you will need to be creative. There is a billiards table, a full kitchen, a living room style setup with tv and fireplace, cafe style bar tables, and a cozy dining table set up next to a library. They also have very nice social events from the movies every month in the private theatre, to the great food they serve ( with a smile, the employees are upbeat and enjoyable to be around).The fountain behind the clubroom is perfect for early morning tea, or a nice lunch where you need to relax. Take a yoga mat out, and the water will provide the perfect sounds for you to focus to.They have a salt water pool with a fireplace and couches for entertaining your family and friends. The spa is large enough to swim in. I would warm up when it was cold, with the spa, and then hop into the heated pool for a quick swim, and I wasnt the only one who loved the technique. Your neighbors are friendly and amiable. They are also good as decorating, so enjoy meeting your neighbors and seeing their flowers, decorations, and dont forget about the Christmas light contest! So enjoyable and pretty. It is a wonderful community where your kids can play with their friends safely on the gated in playground. If you love walking your dog, not only does the apartment have great sidewalks, but the dog lot is great and there is usually parking most of the time.

10% conscious food, which is over-priced. So much trash creation. When will this stop? Where do the containers go, once we ripped them open like it was no-thing?

Management is the worst. They turn over new employees ever few months. They are charging me $1200 for a FEW cat stains that they used a black light on the carpet and claim it went down to the concrete and stained it without pulling up the carpet. Avoid this place as they will try and get every cent of your deposit out of you. This was after living there for 36 months. Also rent is an arm and a leg.

Overpriced, misleading agents will tell you to get in for 1800 a 1 bedroom and in 6 months we will have a 2 bdrm for little more than what Id be paying for 1 bedroom (in summertime rate). Lies, the one bedroom went up to 2k. And why move you if they have other tenants to give it to. And the thieves tell you during the pre walkthru period what to fix, then charge you for 5 hours of cleaning after saying only the rack in the stove and under fridge need cleaning. I had to argue and they still charged me for 2.5 hours. Just horrible integrity and the units cheaply made. Avoid it if you can

The cresta bella is a big ham and i enjoy the pool and the pool table and the gym and the clubhouse but i also enjoy the grills they are very clean and nice and they handle my 6lb burger patties with ease

Premium apartments with nice view air and sunlight

New, clean, close to all major store, close to 15 and 56, nice management, .......#1 apartment in San Diego.

Nice homes, clean and friendly community. The price is a bit high though

Excellent place to live. We miss Cresta Bella!!

Within 2 seconds of sitting down with the leasing staff it was clear they were just counting the seconds for us to leave. Very unwelcoming and impersonal.

The New Security guard on the weekends is quick to respond to noise complaints when people have loud parties.

Great community to live!! Secure, comfortable, Great areas to enjoy them.

Great place to live.

Amazing place to live

Exelent!!!!!

Horrible..BEWARE of THIS COMPLEX.

Nice
