Hi,
I am planning to move to California soon. I have been in apartment hunting for a while. I am looking at San Jose or Fremont to find apartments with lower rent. Can someone provide their experience with any of the following apartments.
1. Eaves Fremont
2. Park Kiely apartments
3. Eaves west valley
4. Avalon Fremont
Also please feel free to recommend any other apartments nearby.

Every Eaves I have been in, across most of the Bay Area, has small, outdated apartments with thin walls. The units usually have obvious major stains in the carpets, baseboard radiators falling off the walls, and the like. Even the parking spaces are tiny! They are the low end of the Avalon portfolio and it’s pretty clear why once you set foot in them.
The “name-brand” Avalon buildings in the peninsula / South Bay tend to be overpriced IMO, but you can sometimes find great units. They will often have really nice communal amenities, but unless you get a unit with newer fixtures (which you WILL pay for - that’s what all their finishing “packages” are), they can be surprisingly dumpy compared to the pictures and walk-throughs online. The locations tend to be much better at these properties, though. They aren’t as out-of-the-way as the eaves locations.
I think spending closer to $3k is infinitely worth it. Certain buildings at Encasa are really nice, and actually most of the places in that area (Via, even Lawrence Station) are super convenient to the Sunnyvale tech hub and decently priced for what you get. They are pretty much all new construction or recently renovated with in-unit washer/dryer, decent layouts available, and quiet surroundings (depending on where your unit faces). Nightlife is minimal to nonexistent, though, if that’s a dealbreaker, and you’ll probably want a car.
Skip Prometheus and Anton buildings. So overpriced and you can get better, bigger accommodations for less money in tons of other places.
Also, to join Kinder garten, is there any lottery in that area ?
