We chose Allegre because we were told we would have all new carpet, paint, and appliances. We moved in back in September and have had the longest list of problems living here. No new appliances and it is now January. They had not finished painting (and still haven't). They basically were halfway done with the remodel when we moved in. Lights hanging from the ceiling, broken mirrors, unpainted walls. And we continue to pay more than the rest of the complex because it was supposed to be brand new (by more then a couple hundred $$) for our unfinished apartment. Maintenance has been less than helpful and no matter how many maintenance requests you place they don't necessarily ever finish a job. The best part is the lack of trash pickup, basically like living in a dump, trash overflows the parking lot regularly. This has been a terrible experience. I strongly advise picking a different overpriced Davis complex!

Current resident speaking. For the sake of space, I'll put aside the problems we have with the surrounding area and focus on our apartment and relations with management. We have had several maintenance issues since day 1 that have never been attended to. We wrote them all down on the "move-in checklist" as the front office told us to. Then when nothing happened we complained and they told us we had to email them. Since then we have emailed at least a dozen times and gone to the office to ask about our maintenance requests to no avail. "Email us." "We have." "Email us again." "We have." "Speak to our manager." "Where are they?" "Oh she's not in." The manager is never in, it seems. It took us 6 weeks to get a mail key -- one key, mind you, for a four-bedroom apartment. No hot water -- constant cold showers. The dishwasher doesn't clean things properly. Poorly installed cabinets and drawers that still smell toxic from being painted. Broken outlets. The A/C cover fell off. Our door makes an insanely loud sound when it closes -- we were told we would be getting a "new door skirt" that week but that never happened. Our fridge is made of mismatched parts from different fridges, so the shelves don't fit together and fall all the time -- again, we were told we would be getting a new fridge but that never happened. We have never had access to the pool -- the pool that management loves to advertise to potential lessees to attract them. No one in the leasing office ever seems to have any answers to even the simplest of questions. They always make excuses about how it's "not in their power" to fulfill our needs (these needs, mind you, are guaranteed by our lease, especially the hot water) and yet they make zero effort to fix our problems. Several times I have asked front office workers questions only to be told that they "don't work here" -- why are they behind the desk then?! Sharps and Flats also never alerts residents about any important issues. For instance, our water once ran BROWN for a day without any explanation -- they literally never said anything. When we brought it up (obviously it's a big health concern), they were like "well it's not brown anymore".... There was also an electrical fire in one of the units a couple months ago, and management never said a word about it. I had to find out how the fire in my own housing complex happened via the school newspaper. Rent prices would be reasonable here if everything were in decent working order, but it's not. Management had made everything our problem as lessees. We know our rights. Under California law, as underscored by our lease, we are entitled to working hot water. Apartment management is supposed to be given a "reasonable amount of time" to deal with maintenance issues. It's been 4.5 months. As far as I'm concerned, we've been the victims of false advertisement and negligent management. Would not recommend to anyone. Avoid living here if you can help it.
After living here for just over a month I am truly happy with my decision.
The manger is awesome, very polite and always willing to help. The maintenance guy is quick to respond. The new renovations make Sharps and Flats look amazing!!
Sharps and Flats is awesome, in every sense of the word. The quality of the apartments, maintenance, and office makes it a pretty great living experience. Denise is one of the complex managers, and she's one of the most ideal people for a job like this. Friendly, courteous, respectful, and excellent at her job. The maintenance staff is great and timely, prices are extremely fair, and the location next to both Kaiser and Safeway (walking distance) is really convenient. I can't think of a single reason anybody would have not to live here.
Sharps and Flats is a nice place to live in! I have had zero problems contacting management and repairs happen fast with a response within two days. If you're unsure about anything the staff in the office are more than happy to answer any questions. I wouldn't recommend contacting through email; it seems to not be checked on a regular basis. With all the new renovations the place looks amazing and is pleasant to come back to what I call my home at the moment.
It s a really spacious complex especially if you re getting the 4x2 townhouse but sometimes management takes time to address maintenance issues. Other than that it s close to Safeway, has a nice pool and clubhouse
Sharps and Flats is perfect for me! I decided to re-lease here for the second year, and still no complaints! If I need something, Emily and staff help me right away. My parents came in with me my first year I leased, and she made the biggest effort to communicate with them even though they primarily speak Spanish...thought that was super welcoming!
