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.

Property Ratings at Central Park
The rent is high. Central Park is a nice facility, but it is not ?luxury?, and the rent is high!
We really love how well the grounds are maintained, we love the trees and greenery, but most of all the staff makes this a really nice place to live. Thank you!
Property Manager at Central Park, Responded To This Review
Hi, thank you for your kind review; we are happy to pass along your comments to the team here at Central Park! We appreciate your positive review about your experience with us! We can't wait to see you again, have a great day.
I think the location and the green spaces and amenities are good.
Property Manager at Central Park, Responded To This Review
Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we are doing. We hope you have a great day!
Not only would I recommend this community to others but I have. My mom and dad are moving in in a month! Hopefully I can get my brothers and sisters to move in here as well! One big happy family all in one place, Central Park!
Property Manager at Central Park, Responded To This Review
Wow, we're glad you had such a wonderful experience with us! Your wonderful feedback and rating mean a lot to us. Thanks again for the recommendation, and have an amazing day!
Overall we are so pleased to be here. The grounds are meticulously maintained and maintenance staff are friendly and responsive.
Property Manager at Central Park, Responded To This Review
Hi there, we are very happy to have provided you with such a positive experience! If you ever need anything else from us, please feel free to give us a call or stop by. Have an awesome day!
I would recommend to a friend but, I will warn them that rent will increase by a lot every renewal of lease.
The area is nice and the complex is relaxing feel to it.
Property Manager at Central Park, Responded To This Review
Hello there, thank you; we appreciate your feedback! We are always more than happy to assist you if anything else comes up. Take care!
I would recommend it to others, but I would not be so quick to because of the crime issue we have been having. Cars broken into, units broken into, cars and motorcycles stolen, and unwelcomed guests walking around the complex and getting into the pool.
This is a friendly, quiet, and beautiful place to live.
I love the upgrades to the kitchen (cabinets, flooring, etc). The grounds are really well taken care of and the communication with the apartment managers is excellent
Just an overall great experience
Loved the quiet nature of the location and the park.
Maintenance is as fast as I've ever experienced at any complex. They're prompt and thorough with their response.
I like the apartment community very much but it is a smoking community and I would not recommend it for that reason. Also, I feel the remodel design is lacking in many things that would make living here a bit easier.
The location is ideal in terms of freeway access, parks, schools, decent neighborhood. The washer/dryer option is a huge plus. The management and maintenance teams are stellar. We hope we can stay here longer.
We love it here! I feel very safe here. When I take out my dog I really enjoy the grounds.
I would recommend living here because it is a well managed and maintained community. It is always very clean around here.
I would definitely recommend this apartment community. Not only is it a safe environment but, the apartment itself is beautiful.
It's a great place to live. We love it!
Nice neighbors, cleanliness, beautiful grounds and nice management.
My daughter and I lived at Central Park for 9 years. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Even though I felt the rent was high, we probably would've continued to live there had we not been in a situation where we were able to buy a home.
Although on the higher end price wise, the complex is so beautifully maintained. I would be proud to have any of my friends come to see the grounds.
yes
Excellent response to all service needs! Beautiful setting next to the park and very well finished apartments.
The community is safe and well maintained. The office staff cares and and is very proactive.
I like the open spaces and green specs of the complex. It really does seem like apark.
I would recommend despite my comments. The prior tenants in our units may not have noticed or cared about some of the issues that we notice. It is a good clean complex. Since the rates are lower now, I would encourage others to rent there, if I like them,haha. Overall, it is a good place to rent.
That take care of your issues in a timely manner and leave the area as clean as it was when they arrived.
I am living here because of the trolley being across the street because I work downtown however I would not recommend this complex to anyone because I think the remodel work is poor and short-sighted.
We have lived here almost 9 yrs. and we have seen people come and go but some where I live 5618 have been here a while. We enjoy living here. Thank you!!
We appreciate that the apartment management cares about the upkeep of the buildings as much as we do! Thank you!
I would recommend this to my family as it is next to the park has grass a lot around the complex for animals and a nice outside pool area
Lived here for 8 years now . great complex , friendly staff . grounds are well kept . Perhaps because of the rent price , the quality of renters is better than a lot of other complexes .
I have lived here for five years and give Central Park 5 stars.
This community is safe, kept clean and has great staff.
I would if someone I knew asked about the la mesa area. However, most of my family/friends live and work in central san diego, and the north county area.
I had to wait quite a while to be served. Also I think we should have ridden in a golf cart
The young people that are living there are inviting people to live with them that are not on the lease. There are at least 6 people living in a one bedroom and management is turning a blind eye.
Nice apartment, quiet, central to needs, pleasant atmosphere, good facilities and amenities.
being in the business you cannot base a whole community on one workman
This question is absurd. No one recommends apartments based solely on maintenance, so why even ask it?
I love the way management handles concerns and the overall professionalism, kindness, and concern that is shown to take care of requests. The way the property is maintained keeps this community a peaceful and desirable place to live.
I found Jami in the office to come across as a very polite and respectful individual, that helped me when i originally moved in, to this time presently. A couple days ago, i had a personal request and she took her time in assisting me. And i found that to be great residential service!
I had two way two days for my refrigerator to be replaced. I moved in on Friday night and woke up to all my meat defrosted. Then to find out that I have to wait to Monday with no compensation. Not impressed.
It is quiet, pet friendly and has the amenities of a resort
I absolutely love my one bedroom and I remain so pleased with the entire apartment, it's nice and I find allot of comfort when I'm inside.
Neighbors are friendly, staff is fantastic, it is quiet, and has lots of parking. Complex is always so clean and maintained nicely.
I would highly recommend this community to anyone based on my own personal experience living here.
I would definitely recommend this apartment community! We love it. If we need help with anything, the staff is always accommodating, and the place and community are quiet and beautiful.
We are very happy with how courteous Kenedra and Jami are whenever we have any issues. Don your maintenance technician is a professional and very nice and knowledgeable!
