The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

STAY AWAY from this place!!! DON'T RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!! I lived here for a year and it is not worth the money! And no sooner did I give them my 30 day notice and left a couple of days before the deadline to avoid problems, they sent an email saying they're going to charge me $700, despite the fact the inspector telling me to pay the regular $250 for a cleaning crew to come by which would be taken out of my security deposit, she even gave me a copy of the bill. Even when I handed them the keys the people at the leasing office said there will be no charges beside $250. When I called the customer service number to see what I was being charged with, the rep told me "What they believe is necessary and be prepared to get charged in the future."
I have lived here for 2 years. These apartments are falling apart. There is little to no sound insulation between apartments and the office staff routinely fail to address the community's concerns. For instance, I suffer from chronic asthma. My air conditioning unit has not worked for 2.5 weeks (and temperatures in the apartment have been above 80 degrees for most of that period). The day it stopped working, we called the office and maintenance to inform them of the problem. At least once a year we have a major part of the apartment stop working (last year it was the dishwasher and the refrigerator). The office and maintenance staff typically are friendly people for the most part, but if you expect help when something inevitably tears up in these old dilapidated units, don't hold your breath. As I type this, the AC unit in the ceiling of my apartment is hanging down and being loosely held up by black duct tape and zip ties. First I was told it would be fixed 10 days ago. Then it was 7 days ago. Now it is 4 days from now. This grueling process has been awful and the story I get from the community staff is that the AC unit not working is "not their fault either." Beyond the frequent emails we receive regarding crime activity at the complex, if you value your money and your peace of mind, I urge you not to live here.
car robberys,break ins,stolen mail do not live here if you care about your safety
I've lived in this "community" for 7 months now and the first 5 months were fine. When I say fine it does not mean perfect but what place is. Now is where we get real....... When I first moved in I developed a friendship with my upstairs neighbor...... my mistake! At first this was good but in the past month that friendship ended. Now I am being harassed by the leasing office because in retaliation, she has begun calling the leasing office any time I have my TV or radio on. Let's be clear... Avalon is a large complex with a lot of people in close quarters. It is impossible to not hear the people that live around you. I hear washing machines, TV's, radios, and everything else. I am a reasonable person and this is part of apartment living. Here is where the community falls short. This is clearly PERSONAL and despite having members of the leasing office AND the police state that the music isn't too loud, it is clear that I have no advocate. The leasing team seems afraid to push back and ask my neighbor to have "reasonable" expectations. I ran into Joe (the manager at the time he left 2 days after our conversation) and told him that she was unreasonable and calling the police on me at 5:30pm about my music. Let me be clear that I only have a sound bar so it can't be that loud. You can faintly hear it if you are standing right at my door but THAT is reasonable. I told Joe that as an African American woman I am now uncomfortable living in the community because of the police showing up at my door. In 2015 it has been clear that police will not hesitate to shoot unarmed African American (men AND women) and no one will hold them accountable. I made this clear to Joe and he stated that he did not want me to feel that way and would work something out where I could end my lease with a 30 day notice. I went on to tell him that I would be packing to live somewhere else for a month or so because I was uncomfortable. I asked that he contact me later that day so we could discuss ending the lease. NO CALL as African Americans have no advocate in this community and white privilege always wins. I am living at another residence because I don't feel safe and I have no advocate in this situation. I would think that the leasing office would honor what was said to me by their former manager but instead they are calling me a liar and saying that Joe never said that.
Friendly Staff- Lots of Laughs Close to Bart- Walking is an Art Washer and Dryer inside Each Along with several Meet and Greets Awesome gym- To get Slim Come on by and See - Avalon Walnut Ridge is the PLACE to BE
lived in Walnut Ridge for 2 years. 5 min walk to Pleasant Hill Bart station. train noise might be an issue if your unit is very close to the rails, but otherwise the noise is negligible. staffs are generally very friendly and helpful. most of units are fairly old, so during 2 years had many urgent/minor repair issues in my apartment like water leaking from ceiling, heater motor noise , and pipe leaking /dropping fluid on my car in parking space. but I had little to complain because they were handled almost instantly once you notify them. has nice pool/bbq/gym area that we used fairly frequently. noise from floor above or below is an issue here. Can hear any louder than normal sound neighbors make. one major concern is rent increase which is why we're moving out. in 2 years, monthly rent was increase 200 the first year and now 500 which is 700 in 2 years.
Where I hang my hat would not be sufficient enough to describe living at Avalon Walnut Ridge. It is an affordable yet character refining experience. Trickling creeks and mature redwoods compliment the property, while large patios offer a front row seat to the stars. Other amenities include a fully updated gym and fabulous swimming pool. Every time I take a dip, I feel like I am at a ritzy resort. Avalon Walnut Ridge prides themselves on being pet friendly. One of our leasing agents gave my puppy MoMo a squeaky hotdog. It seemed to be a life changing experience for her. When it comes to the units themselves, they are spacious and sound canceling. I literally cannot hear my neighbors. My apartment has a charming wood burning fire place and area to the side for reading. Avalon Walnut Ridge is an architectural triumph that seamlessly incorporates the best of nature.
Value, yet quality is what you will find here. You can be as active or as passive on mingling. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is friendly and professional. Plus you can walk to BART!
