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.

They charge you for bug control and never spray, never return calls and say work orders compete when never done.

We appreciate you bringing this experience to our attention. If you are willing, please don't hesitate to contact us at (925) 682-2424 so we can work towards a resolution. We look forward to hearing from you.
Brookside appears to be a well-maintained and pleasant living space with ample parking. However, my move-in experience felt somewhat lacking and could have been improved.
Property Manager at Brookside, Responded To This Review

Brookside has been great. Its a very comfortable community to live in :)
Property Manager at Brookside, Responded To This Review
Thank you for the 5 star review! We will continue to work hard to give you excellent service and a great place to live.
Overall, it is somewhat clean and the management is attentive to a glaring issue, especially maintenance. But, the lack of enforcement of community rules ruins this place. Out of six units in my building, two residents smoke on the patio or blow out their windows, and after complaining for a year and nothing happening, I gave up. The neighborhood is loud with the airport and traffic, no denying. I think the maintenance staff works hard, but management is hard to find and generally clueless. I literally walked into the office one time and the asst. property manager was asleep on the couch. Residents throw trash on top of dumpsters which creates mess and pests and then we pay $30 a month for pest control which is incredibly annoying. I am moving out when my lease is up. Hopefully sooner. Oh, and good luck if there is going to be a water shutdown or something. There is ZERO communication from management, except for rent, but then they screw that up, too.

Clean, well-maintained, quiet, and secure environment.
Brookside is perfectly located and it is a great place to live!
I love to live at Brookside Apartments, my kids feels safe. Laundry rooms are clean. And my dog is very happy to be taking on walks by the canal trail. This is a great place and very convenient, close to restaurants and stores.

Hi, thank you so much for your high rating! Thank you, and have a fantastic day!
Basic apartments with good grounds at far-east bay rates.
Property Manager at Brookside, Responded To This Review
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to let us know about your recent experience. We are disappointed to hear that you are not satisfied with your visit.
Living at Brookside is a serene & enjoyable experience. The grounds are park like & I love all the wildlife. It is a safe community & we have an excellent management team who are conscientious & friendly. Best community I’ve ever lived in.
Friendly community, beautifully maintained, clean, individual private door opening to the outdoors makes this less like an apartment and more like a condo. I like the close proximity to urban areas yet there's the rural beauty of birds of prey hovering overhead each day, deer, spectacular sunsets. Beautiful community parks nearby and nice walking trails just outside the door.
I love how pet friendly this area is. Its quiet and respectful for the most part. There is no violence that I know of. A nice safe little area.
My family and pets feel safe living in this friendly community.
Living at Brookside has been amazing! Quiet, peaceful complex, caring office and maintenance teams. So happy to call Brookside home
Lovely grounds and concerns have been addressed in a timely manner.
I really like living here. The outside property is always very clean and pretty with th gardening its safe being it is gated
I love living at Brookside, the staff is all very nice and courteous. Everyone is pet friendly, and I love seeing all the different dogs walking at Brookside. The apartment has a very nice nature appearance, with beautiful trees and is kept looking very nice and clean. Love how there is a trail right next to the apartments.
Brookside is so peaceful and quiet. Beautiful apartment homes on beautifully maintained grounds. So happy living here!
Brookside is a great community that allows animals. Pool and hot tub are a plus. The laundry rooms are convenient and taken care of. The community5 years ago was mostly college kids that came and went but now it is more family oriented.
I lived at Brookside for 2 years, and in those 2 years, the quality of the staff and complex diminished immensely. Mailboxes and apartments were broken into, the security gate NEVER works (and when it does people drive around it), and contacting someone in the office is impossible. It does not feel like a safe community. Even though my rent went up substantially between leases the apartments are in terrible shape, the appliances are old, and the laundry room is full of broken machines. The property manager is aloof (she forgets everything) and you have to ask many, many times for simple requests. Do yourself a favor and live across the street for cheaper or pay a little more to live somewhere else for peace of mind. Trust me, you do not want to live here.
Apartment are in a convenience and average area. Office staff are foney and lie sometime to tenants. They charge too high on utility, special water to water they lawn morning and night 2 time a day for 30 minute each time and the bill are on top of the rent. Even we are in a drought season the manager don't care because the water bill are on the tenants & Sewer charge are on top of the rent also. This is a property tax for the owner. Think about before and search around than stuck for a year lease.
Brookside apt at Pleasant Hill has been my home for 3 yrs now. The place is immaculte, well-maintained in serene, lake tahoe setting and most of all, its safe & prestidious. We have an inhouse manager who has a big smile & always available to meet tenants expectations. His support staff & two knowledgeable, efficient custodians are a plus. Come & live with us. You'll not be disappointed. Hurry, waiting list is getting longer, call (925) 682-2424
I love trees. I wanted a place with trees and nice people. Well, I found not only the trees, and beautiful flowers, as well as abundant grass, all amidst newly painted clusters of wonderful apartments, but a management staff that is efficient, so very helpful, and friendly. I was doing my laundry in the close-by facility to my apartment, an always clean and fresh room with an open window looking out on the grass and the trees, and this guy comes in to do his laundry, he saying that he had moved here from Salt Lake City. He explained that he came to the area to check out all the surrounding apartment complexes first, and of all of them, he found this had the best upkeep, town proximity, quiet, and nicest staff. Gee, I felt great that I landed here with my dumb luck, indeed agreeing with all that he found. In addition, there is the many-mile-long Iron Horse jogging, walking and biking trail immediately adjacent to the complex, there are a variety of great people living here of all ages, I do not hear my neighbors, close or further away, and it is WALKING distance to what suddenly, out of this rolling hill beautiful environment, becomes the domain of Target, Ross, restaurants, Safeway, etc., the freeway access to 680 additionally right there, which I never hear. I feel you get the value of your money here at this complex, and it is competitive with other places. Further, the management does everything in their power to accommodate what needs may arise. I suggest you come and check this place out...!
