If you like your car being robbed this is the place for you. We moved in and thought that this would be a decent neighborhood. The place looks nice enough and the amenities are good when they are open. Pool, gym are pretty consistent but other things like bowling or racquetball have just been either impossible to get a spot in or shut down for the last 2 years.
Now to the theft: I have had my new motorcycle, wallet, tools, equipment and various other items stolen from our cars since moving in. Management does not have cameras in the parking structures and from what the people at the office told

I know I haven't written a review in years but this is a quick update on how amazing it is to live here. Even though the previous management team is now gone (Mary and Michelle) and I have to deal with management off-site, Lauren Collins still exceeds my expectations here. She is always so super responsive. Sometimes I think I am emailing her too late because of office hours are normally closed but she still responds at night which I totally appreciate. Lauren has gone out of the way to make things easy for me to transition. Last year my neighbor changed their dishwasher above me and leaked

VERY GOOD!
The people in Torrey Garden's leasing office are very kind.
Also, the maintenance office deals with the problem right away. When I asked for a request due to a light problem, Cesar Hernandez came quickly and solved the problem. He also checked toilet drain problem. He is kind and good at explaining them to me. Awesome!!!!

Not one star because if you're desperate for a place near UCSD that won't break the bank completely, this place is tolerable.
Otherwise, if you have the money to live somewhere else, spend the extra few hundred dollars a month. Looks nice on the surface, but everything is old and starting to fall apart. Electrical wiring is wacky and things will randomly turn on and off. Maintenance is slow on repairs. Right now I have no running water because a water line blew that forced the HOA to shut off the water for the entire community. ANTS EVERYWHERE.

Terrible experience for us. Had extensive repairs on our apartment due to exterior water damage that took 9 days to complete, and tore up half of our apartment. I sent several emails asking to talk to someone about the rent credit and no one has replied. Apparently there's a "customer service team" that approves the rent credit, but they won't talk to you. They will only talk to the property manager, who then talks to you, but the manager has no power to change or adjust their decisions. They use avoidance instead of listening to deal with tenants.

We have lived here since Sept 2016, our lease is up in Sept and we will be leaving.... for the record, the maintenance and valet staff are excellent, friendly, polite and professional even some of the office staff are nice.
Now let me tell you the reasons we will be leaving: old, tacky, expensive.... I think management should have to park their vehicle 4 floors down in the parking garage. My bike was stolen, and my boyfriends car was
broken into, we also heard of other thefts from other people. The appliances are old and chipped (painted over) and the cupboards are recovered but are old and it

You must live here!
I lived here for one year ( and only moved out because of work; found a job in another city). from the start, Mary, Kris, and the rest of the staff made me feel welcome and that they wanted us to enjoy our stay here (you can't beat this level of friendliness!). they are knowledgeable, accessible, and generally ensured that any problem we had (light needs fixing, etc) was addressed same day! there are plenty of maintenance staff on hand to take care of issues for you, and the grounds are clean, and in near pristine shape. outdoor lighting is excellent: this is good

I have lived at Villa La Jolla for 20 years. Until last year I was a renter and I decided to buy the condo I had rented all these years. I want to refute the negative reviews I have seen about Villa La Jolla. The staff here, in particular, Mary, Michelle, Robert, Chris, Nico and Jose (the other members of maintenance and landscaping too) have never been anything but warm, courteous and responsive to my needs as a renter and as a homeowner. I have always received written or posted notices about water shutoff, any and all requests I have had have been attended to promptly and never ignored, and everyone

Well, I am brazilian and I went to San Diego to spend 3 months (June to September 2014) while my girlfriend was studying at UCSD.
After searching the web looking for a place to stay and after lots of horrible experiences by the phone and e-mail with other communities around La Jolla, I (THANKS GOD) found this place called VILLA LA JOLLA.
Since the firs contact, this guy named KRIS HOLLAND was absolutely the best.
I have no words to describe everything he did for me and to thank him for all the support and attention he had with us, all the time.
Seriously, Kris is such a nice man AND 100% skilled

I lived here for a year. I have never had any problems with the apartment. It's less than a mile from UCSD and a mile from the I-5 entrance. Ralph's and Trader Joes is just one evening stroll away. Basically, this is the best geologically located apartment I've ever lived in. People in the apartment are family friendly and quiet. So if you need a place to crack down for school or need a place to relax after work, this is it. Since I am in California by myself, the staff became my family. They were very understanding to all of my needs! I would live there again if I had the choice

I have updated my review in response to some sour experiences I have had recently.
(1) Water getting shut off without notification
(2) A persistent mold problem in certain areas of the apartment in spite of my efforts to alleviate the problem
(3) Poorly administered parking - no guest parking available because some residents utilize a guest parking spot as a secondary parking spot and management doesn't do anything about it
(4) Maintenance appointments not being honored without explanation or apology
(5) The rent rises disproportionately to inflation (in the area in general) - My rent went

I get really frustrated with the owners of the property (Garden Communities). First, they keep raising our rent with INSANE amounts each year and second, the Garden Communities Customer Service is RUDE! At one point I sent them an email to request reimbursement for a fee we had to pay: never got a confirmation they received my email, then a week later I get an email back that was just impolite. A generic one liner to thank me for contacting them which ended with the sentence: request for reimbursement is denied. No closure of the email whatsoever. Even though you might disagree with the reimbursement

My daughter was looking for UCSD off-campus housing. I researched a dozen or more condo's within 3 mile radius of the campus over 3 months. I narrowed it down to Villa La Jolla Condominiums.
The location is the best thing about it. Minutes from the UCSD campus, bio-tech and Parma companies. Just across the street is the Village Square where you will find everything that you will need. It's also minutes away from the ocean!! It's well maintained and quite place with lots of professional residents. The lease office staff is professional and very friendly.
I liked the place so

I lived in a 1BR for two years and was very happy. The staff is very responsive to any maintenance concerns and the facilities are always kept spotless and beautiful. It's a very quiet community; a mix of academics, young professionals, and older people. If that's what you're looking for, I highly recommend it!

I can't say enough good things about Villa La Jolla. My husband and I lived there for 3 years, and now that we moved out of the area we keep recalling how great we had it back at Villa La Jolla, and wishing we could find something exactly like it in our apartment search now.
We had a 1 bedroom, remodeled, first floor apartment. Here are some of my favorite things about the apartment/complex:
1. Beautiful pool and deck areas for relaxing, BBQ-ing, and hanging out.
2. The remodeled apartment we had was beautiful. I LOVED the kitchen! Clean, plenty of storage space, and mostly easy to clean

Its a really nice place, great location, and its very safe! I come to visit my friend here all the time and I am very jealous of how nice it is and how luxurious this place is. The swimming pool is nice and they have a nice workout place. The rooms are beautiful!
The swimming pool is perfect after a long day of work. Its in a great part of La Jolla near everything! Location wise you cannot beat that! I went to check out the workout room and it was nicely up kept! You cannot find a better place than this.
Once my lease is up for my rent I am planning on moving into this place. Thank you Greg

I rent a 1BR, 1BA at Villa La Jolla Condos. The complex & staff are great. I highly recommend it. Very quiet in & around my unit and on this lovely tree-lined street. The staff & maintenance workers give me quick, outstanding service. The outdoor landscaping is lovely & well-maintained. Ideally situated, it's walking distance to the UCSD campus, shopping and 2 movie theaters. Ralph's plaza (La Jolla Village Square) has 12 eateries & 19 other retailers. And a block from there is a shopping center with 2 banks, a CVS drugstore, Whole Foods, Fedex/Kinkos and much more

Pretty good place to rent. Can be a bit steep for the area, look for promotions when moving in. Management is very friendly and pretty willing to negotiate on rent. Pool and gym are great, though the gym is a bit on the small side. Repairs are done pretty quickly. Though the outside looks a bit old, as the buildings were built in the 70's, they've remodeled a good number of the units and they're beautiful inside, with granite countertops and travertine floors.

Ten Reasons to rent from Villa La Jolla:
1. Best management I've encountered in 8 years of renting. They look out for your best interest, not theirs, seriously. They go above and beyond to make their tenants happy.
2. Maintenance is extremely fast, friendly, and actually fix things.
3. Walking distance from: UCSD, Trader Joes, Ralphs, Whole Foods, AMC Theatres, Best Buy, Jamba Juice, PetSmart, Staples, Starbucks, Coffee Bean, Petes, Chipotle, and more.
4. Great Amenities: Pools, BBQs, brand new laundry sites, gym, lounge area.
5. Reserved Parking
6. Very well maintained property, looks very

The management is selling some of the units and leasing some (last time I heard, monthly lease rate is about $1350). So more than half of the village units are owned by individual owners. The management is friendly. On the first day when I moved in, repair requests like a hole in the wall and a broken blinder were fixed immediately (the place was not really ready to move in).
Landscaping is well taken care by the village's HOA management. The units were built in early '70s. So you can hear your upstairs neighbors walking, talking, and taking showers; and the other way around too
