I was just looking for San Raphael's office number online when I stumbled across this forum.
I've just moved in as a renter in San Raphael. We were pretty terrified about the approval process, as we are both in college. It turned out our credit was much better than we thought and we were approved. It took FOREVER. It came to the point where the office got irked with our very nice realtor who was just trying to check the status of the approval. Then our landlord called and threatened to quit paying his association fees, and that finally got us in.
Renaissance Commons is a very nice area in general. Yes, they are strict, but they just want to keep it a nice place. I do agree that the broken garage doors in San Raphael as well as the "broken" indoor basketball court is unacceptable. The owners pay the association a lot of money, so where does it go?
I've only met two girls in the office. The higher up Sydney is quite nice. The girl Alicia sucks. She is completely unhelpful. You're best off having a good relationship with your landlord, as they don't really listen to renters.
The pool, gym, and clubhouse are fabulous. For some reason our keys worked after 10pm and although it was against the rules, the security let us keep playing pool and enjoy our drinks.
On to the topic of the parking security on golf carts...One is a real ball buster, but I guess he just doesn't want to lose his job? There are plenty of parallel spots that are public and don't require guest tags. We had some friends out on the balcony one night and I guess we got too loud, the security came to politely ask us to keep it down. After profusely apologizing, as I didn't want to get started on the wrong foot, the security said it wasn't a problem there is just an old bat living on the 4th floor who complains about EVERYTHING.
So in all, I like the place. The lawns and pool are always kept in nice condition, and it's very quiet. I would really recommend, especially since its such a good deal. We scored a spacious 2/2 for $1,175 a month, that includes all of the utilities except for power. Setup was a breeze.
And I agree, the water pressure isn't the best in the world.
Hope this helps!
