Neighborhood

The west side of the colorful, vibrant island that is Alameda is home to some of the city’s most exciting attractions and stunning surroundings. A large portion of West Alameda is made up of sprawling industrial space and an unused airfield that hosts motor shows and incredible events. West Alameda is also home to the USS Hornet, a historic aircraft carrier that played a part in WWII and the Apollo 11 recovery mission. If you’re looking for fun and enrichment all within a few minutes of San Francisco, look for a rental in West Alameda.

With an even mix of charming, mature homes and tech-laden apartments, West Alameda is mirroring the housing boom that’s occurring just across the bay. There’s plenty of parks to keep residents of the island entertained in the area’s incredible weather. Don’t miss Monarch St., with its wineries, breweries, and trendy restaurants. There’s comprehensive BART service from West Alameda, so popping into San Francisco or Oakland is easy.

Nah really though!

This place is fantastic and I’ll be honest I’m hard to please and like to brag a little. The amenities are top tier and I’m still learning something about them new everyday. The staff?! Amazing!! Sarah, Aurielle and the rest of the team were the nicest people even though i called 20 million times. If you’re reading it, just make the move.

UNSAFE

They put residents into unsafe environments. Opened my front door and was showered with sparks from welding. No safety barriers, no warning signs, no email/notification about the work that was being done NOTHING. And don't' bother trying to call the office they NEVER ANSWER the phone. And then to be harassed by the maintenance worker when I asked them to stop. 100% UNSAFE

My New Home

I recently moved to Alameda from Ireland and the folks at Ballena Village have made the leasing and move in process such a pleasure! Hazel and Courtney in the leasing office answered any questions I had and helped with any move in queries. Also, the maintenance staff have been great in addressing any minor issues I had after move it. I have only been here a month but I already feel welcome and at home.

Courtney, the leasing team and the maintenance team are amazing!

I have been at Ballena Village apartments for over a year now. No words can describe how grateful I am to live here. These apartments are genuinely homes! You feel safe at all times! You feel at home from the moment you tour to when you sign your lease. I had the pleasure of interacting with everyone. I would like to first shout-out Courtney. Courtney from the start made the process seamless. She took the time to explain everything and answer all of my questions. She truly cares about everyone’s needs and tries to to help no matter the situations. She never once made me feel like a bother, rather welcomed and like family. She was/is absolutely phenomenal! The maintenance personal are absolutely spectacular, they come immediately, never say no, and always solve a problem correctly the first time. Jose, Mario and the ENTIRE team are exceptional! Also, I would love to shout-out the ENTIRE leasing team Courtney, Hazel, Ashley, Sarah, plus the maintenance team because they treat you like family. They are like friends who truly care. Me not being from the bay, I treasure having such a friendly, professional, caring, welcoming environment. I walk in to the leasing office happy and always leave happy. Plus the perks of the bay trail, the apartment’s amenities and the Pier 29 restaurant are amazing! I just wanted to share my personal experiences. I am absolutely genuinely grateful to call Ballena village apartments to this day my home!

Wonderful Complex in Alameda!

I lived at Ballena Village for the past year. Alameda is a very safe and nice place and Ballena Village is well maintained and has a very friendly staff. Packages are delivered to your front door and I’ve never had a package stolen even when I’ve been gone for a few days, the other residents are very respectful. It’s typically super quiet. Occasionally you can hear sports games from the nearby highschool, but they always end early and happen on the weekends. It’s very walkable to Webster Street, the Ferry and Crab Cove! Everyone in the office is super friendly, especially Courtney! They are always super responsive, and any maintenance issues I’ve had were resolved quickly. My only complaint is the gym / business center are currently only open during office hours, but this will be updated soon as they implement a new app-based system.

Home!

This was one of the last few complexes we toured and it was well worth it! The location is incredibly convenient for my travels to Target, my dog enjoys her morning walks, and I have met some wonderful people here as well. Their maintenance responses for me (for the past two times) have been less than 24 hours with someone at the door to fix everything, amazing! The leasing office agents, especially Courtney, are all so accommodating and friendly! I am so happy to have found a home away from home.

Unsafe place to live

I have packages stolen regularly. I just had another one stolen today less than two hours after it was delivered. Avoid this place; I'm planning on moving out as soon as feasible.

Please reach out to me directly at SMiller@ElevateToBallena as I would like to speak to you directly about your packages. Thank you. -Sarah Miller, Community Manager

Quick, Responsive Maintenance Team

I have lived at Ballena Village for approximately 3 months, and it has been a pleasant experience. This morning, I had a plumbing issue. I logged into our residence app and completed a maintenance request. While I was away, Jose came to my apartment at 1000 and fixed the problem. I really like that the maintenance staff are quick to respond to request and that they are respectful of my personal living space. They always leave a card letting me know who enter and what was done.

Incredibly helpful & Easy process

We are expected to move in soon, so I cannot comment on our experience living there but based on our tour with Courtney I can easily claim that the grounds are: clean, maintained, have friendly residents, relatively quiet and of course has all amazing amenities. We were not expecting to secure our apartment within merely an hour or two after touring it! I cannot stress enough how wonderful it was to work with Courtney, she was so incredibly helpful throughout the entire process she made sure one way or another we would find a way to increase our chances to securing an apartment. She was very transparent and answered every one of our questions- as someone who is very detailed oriented, Courtney exceeded my expectations and definitely is setting a great tone for moving forward and having a great communication and relationship with the leasing office. I wouldn't have any issue recommending ballena village apartments, we cannot wait to move in! THANK YOU for helping us make this a reality, Courtney!!!

Property Manager at Ballena Village Apartment Homes, Responded To This Review

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. It is so great to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Courtney and I can't wait to pass this along to her.

Wonderful !

Courtney was so helpful and sweet through the whole process! I had been looking my for an apartment and she was my third appointment that day and she was so kind and welcoming. I highly recommend this complex.

Great Apartment Service

I have had some frequent issues with the apartment maintenance like fused lights or blocked drains, but the apartment 24 x 7 maintenance is very prompt and efficient in resolving all issues. The service staff is courteous and does their job well. The apartments are located in a very scenic backdrop, with lots of foliage and birds. The swimming pool and jacuzzi are fully functional, and I am now looking forward to the inaugural of the recently renovated clubhouse.

Total Bait and Switch

UPDATE. If you rely on parking. Look elsewhere. At least two to three times a month I have had to ask people to move out of our parking space. Management say that they are willing to work to fix issues (As seen the in the cut and paste response below) But they NEVER follow though. I have emailed and called a couple of times a month asking for a fix. I NEVER get answers only empty promises. DO NOT RENT HERE. They are all smiles to get you to sign. Once you have signed they do ignore you. So far 4 months in and 3 maintenance team fails. Maintenance manager is rude and condescending. Had an issue with the dishwasher, the maintenance manager stood there any give me instructions on how to wash the dishes before I put them in the machine. Also had the nerve to stand in front of me and tell me that I was lying and "Making it up". Then wrote in the support case that I was fishing for a new machine. The final straw was when I called in a emergency (I woke up to find my kitchen flooded) it took over 1 3/4 hours and two phone calls to get any response. Now I'm out of pocket $250 to have damaged items replaced. When reported to the site manager, he took NO responsibility for the bad service. And didn't care at all about damaged caused. He made it out like it was my problem that the sink was overflowing, and made out that I caused the issue. Which is weird as I was sleep and woke up to a kitchen and living room full of water. They are all nice until you sign up then they no longer care.

Property Manager at Ballena Village Apartment Homes, Responded To This Review

I feel that we have done our best to remedy this situation by responding to you quickly and addressing the situation directly by speaking to the vehicle owner who parked in your spot. Our team is always willing to work with you to address and fix a situation to the best of our ability, as we want you to enjoy living here. As mentioned before, I do apologize for your experience with your sink flooding, as it's our number one priority to provide the best experience possible for our residents and it's clear that we missed the mark. While maintenance issues do occur, and oftentimes outside of our control, I completely understand your frustration. I am glad we were able to speak about the situation. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at ADiMarco@ElevateToBallena.com should you ever need anything. Regards, Antonio Di Marco Community Manager

Don't Waste Your Money

I lived at Ballena for over 7 years. In that time, the windows leaked during storms, the sidewalks are uneven and a tripping hazard, my balcony was unsafe and the wood would rot and fall apart. I had a plumber in my unit at least once a month and they charge outrageous amounts for water and trash. They won't replace anything that is outdated but will keep your deposit when you move out. Don't waste your time or money moving into Ballena.

I am Home Now

For a complex with over 390 units, Ballena Village is a peaceful place. Affordability given to luxury apartments. Staff is welcoming and a pleasure to work with. One might think with such a large complex that communication would faulter; but that would be an unfair assumption, for the staff strives to ensure that the reputation of their establishment remains, what I would consider, one of the best. Staff is knowledgeable, explaines the costs involved, and encouraging to start the application process. This is where the entire team's skills demonstrate a cohesive intercommunication. Whether I spoke with Courtney, Hazel, Jennifer, or Antonio, I was guided to a quick outcome. After living here for 2 months, I feel that I can assuredly say, Ballena Village is the best value for your money to make it your home. Come see with your own eyes the atmosphere of the community and it's surroundings. Take, what I affectionately call, the "yellow brick road to tenancy" by making an appointment. I'm so glad I did, and wish I had done it much sooner.

Clean and Well-Managed

I'm really impressed with the cleanliness of the facilities and how well maintained everything is. The staff is also extremely friendly and responsive. I highly recommend!

Great views

Visited the apartment complex last week and got a mini tour by the leasing agent Jen. I was impressed by the updates and how clean everything looked. The neighborhood is nice and calm. Very close to downtown shops and they have a nice view of the water. Considering moving here when I get a raise at work. ??

Ballena Village Apartments

A very nice place to live. Quiet, well kept grounds, friendly people and responsive staff. Iit is however a little pricy in comparison to some surrounding apartments.
