Absolutely not child friendly. Police come over every month or so to settle disputes. We once had what seemed like the entire San Diego Police Department come over in the middle of night and there were flashing lights everywhere with officers scaling an entire building. There also are police who come over due to reports of death threats. Not to mention, a lot of people smoke here and there and the smell lingers 24/7. The cheap porous walls don't help blocking the scent coming from the other household right next to us. This place is not sanitary as well. A sewage pipe exploded in our "lawn" and there was human waste and trash all over the grass. That was left there for nearly a week and the pipe with the hole was screwed shut at least a month later. Gang members and high school dropouts sometimes roam the streets. The apartment themselves don't impress. The walls have a very generic white paint and the ceilings are sprayed with asbestos, which flakes off and may cause cancer when ingested especially by curious babies. I constantly find silverfishes and other unwanted critters. Dangerous large spiders are present in almost every hole throughout the complex. When it rains, water stains through the walls and leave behind mold. This apartment is NOT safe for earthquakes. It literally will be a battle between the big one and an large hollow plaster box. There are only like 5 poor apartment "tidy-uppers?" who fix everything such as broken sinks and doors. Be prepared to be woken up at 6 AM once a month on a WEEKEND to the sounds of gas powered saws hedging a bush right next to your window. The office is now run by a clueless greedy orangutan and rent fees rise every time. When you think of an apartment office, you imagine helpful people with simple and quick service. NOPE. There are inconvenient office hours and only one window to interact with an official. Please do yourself a favor don't go into premature hell.

Pros? ... Los Penasquitos Elementary less than two football fields away?
