Pet owners and families seeking a quiet, staff-focused community without strict work-from-home internet needs.

What we found

Staff earn consistent praise for friendliness and speed, and the gym, pool, and grounds are well-kept. However, chronic Wi-Fi failures (often monthly, lasting up to 3 days) dominate recent complaints; residents pay $65 monthly with no compensation during outages and find management communication unclear or unhelpful. Pet owners and families appear satisfied, but anyone working from home should research the internet reliability carefully.

  • friendly, responsive staff (esp. Sabella, Rachel, James, Eric)
  • quick maintenance response

Bevelo at Larkspur Apartments

4.3(62)✓ Google-verified

Residents praise Bevelo's attentive leasing staff, particularly Laynie and Alexandria, along with modern amenities and a generally well-kept property. The smoke-free policy and thorough pet screening appeal to many. A meaningful minority report inconsistent management decisions, slow responses to pest issues, and frustration with high utilities (water/sewer bills around $120 monthly) and undisclosed resident service fees. Noise complaints and trash management recur as friction points between residents, though some attribute these to individual tenant behavior rather than property failings. Management's responsiveness varies by complaint type: maintenance problems drag (one water leak took a month), while leasing and daily inquiries see prompt attention. The community polarizes: long-term satisfied residents defend the property's standards fiercely, while others feel rule enforcement is selective and professional courtesy from management sometimes lapses.
