I am a new tenant and want to rave about my experience with Regina, as well as the rest of the team, Chelsea and Ron. After calling around some other communities, where leasing agents were less accommodating, Regina answered the phone with warmth and sincerity. Though she already had an appointment coming in at the only time I was available, she still welcomed me and said, "we'll figure it out, just come!". I did and she was so hospitable!
She gave me keys and directed me to the home she and I had talked about on the phone. When I came back to the office, she was still touring

Nice building (well the newest construction).Biggest issue is parking. Especially Visitor parking on the property. There are vehicles that park in the Visitor Parking (24 hr parking) for weeks! I've notified staff multiple times and still no change. They don't monitor visitor parking and tenants seem to take advantage of that. It's unfortunate, my visitors have to park a couple blocks away.

I figured a prestigious property in Los Gatos would offer more (especially with high rent prices) but it doesn't other than location. You will be close to trails and downtown, thats great

I really enjoy having an amazing community here starting with the Vivere team! Chelsea, Alfonso, Anthony, and Regina are always on top of our needs and keeping the property meticulously clean and organized. I’m also super grateful for the new renovations in Building 135! Yay, how lovely! Thank you!

I have lived here for a few years now, this little community is great with a lot of friendly folk. The facilities are always clean and the service team is AMAZING!! The team at the leasing office have always done everything in their power to make sure my concerns are addressed. The complex is truly beautiful and I highly recommend coming by to have a look. It is a fantastic location walking distance to downtown Los Gatos with plenty of dining options and safeway etc.

We are absolutely loving the ease of our move into the facility. Not only have we been welcomed by staff and neighbors, but we feel welcome to meet and greet everyone around us. I look forward to becoming a part of the community around us.

Walls are super thin. Parking is assigned but your spot is usually taken by a visitor so you have to park on the street. When you do get your parking spot, don't celebrate too much as your vehicle could be stolen by morning. Unreliable security. Staff unreachable during Coronavirus Pandemic. 6-9 Kids always playing together during shelter in place from different households without any adult in sight - usually in the parking lots. Dog areas smell terrible. Non-Smoking complex, but people violate the rules constantly. Dogs uncontrollable by owners so be prepared to be jumped on. Only plus is

Recently moved here in March but already loving my new place in the "classic" residences. Great downtown Los Gatos location close to restaurants and shopping (around the corner from Safeway, Los Gatos Creek Trail and Vasona/Oak Meadow Park), dog-friendly (huge deciding factor with my 2 border collies), resort-style amenities (pool, jacuzzi, fitness center, lounge), friendly community, large private patios/balconies, and beautiful landscaping. Chelsea and rest of the Vivere Management Team have made my the transition to my new home a breeze and I love it here so far. Thank you!

I am about to move into an apartment at Vivere and so far I am really happy and satisfied with the decision! I was able to schedule a tour to see the property the same day I called, and was greeted by Chelsea. Guys. Chelsea is amazing. I am a little neurotic and send a lot of emails and make a lot of calls and she has been SO helpful and patient. Having someone on staff like Chelsea eases some of my pre-move anxiety, and that is so so important in a complex. Looking forward to living here :)

I recently went to go look Vivera as my families new home and i have nothing, but great things to say. First off, Jenny & Chelsea are AMAZING! such down to earth and easy going girls. The vibe alone wanted me to sign a lease right then and there (unfortunately need permission from my husband).

Do you expect running water, four walls, and privacy in your apartment? If so Vivere Apartments is NOT the place for you. In our one-year lease at Vivere, we experienced two constructions that drastically lowered our quality of life although we were still paying over $2200 a month. We have never felt so completely taking advantage of by an apartment complex.

The first construction began halfway through the lease. Our exterior wall (see picture of scaffolding and wall prior to being knocked down) of our master bedroom was knocked down and we had a tarp for over a month. This construction coincided

Jenny Trujillo is great. She made my move in and leasing experience one of the best I've ever had. I was moving in from another state, which can be very stressful, and she was more than helpful. It's people like her that make this place home.

This grounds are beautiful as well. This place feels a bit like a modern resort mixed with 60's style Los Gatos culture. Best decision I've made in a while to live here. Super nice and well worth the money.

A top-of-the-line, beautiful apartment complex with friendly tenants met by a bevy of annoying repairs (made seemingly on a weekly basis, including WATER) and a front office staff that gives off the impression that they care.

Tucked away near Downtown Los Gatos, this complex has a beautiful landscape that includes a fitness center, lounge, pool, and multiple doggy potty stations. The tenants that live here are friendly and go about their business. It's typically quiet here minus the occasional Warriors games watched by the pool which is still tolerable. I mean, who doesn't love the Golden

I really liked living at Vivere, it was a good community. We had lots of fun with the amazing BBQ and outdoor TV area, Football season was a blast. The hot tub, gym, and lounge were pretty fun too. I moved out near the end of 2015 when I bought a house.

Chelsea and Chad were really awesome to work with during my stay at Vivere Apartments, and they were exceptionally helpful and fair during the move out process too. I owe both of them a huge thanks, and my first yelp review goes to both of you for being great people.

Thank you for everything,

Please read this review before viewing or thinking of moving in.
*PLEASE READ ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NEAR APT #140*

On 02/15/2015 at 4am, we woke up with our eyes watering and nose running. The smell of a skunk had covered our entire apartment, the air, furniture, clothes, and everything we owned reeked of skunk. Just to clarify, our apartment was completely sealed, all windows and doors were completely closed. At 4am we had to flee for our health and drive 75 miles to my friends house. We grabbed as many clothes as we could and had to wash them at least 4 times each.

I do not live here yet, but i did come by for a tour. Very clean grounds and well maintained. Units i visited were remodeled and had fresh feeling. Large clean Pool. Staff was very friendly. Management was professional. After my weekend tour in Los Gatos area Vivere is by far the best choice.

I really enjoyed living at, what was then named, Riviera Terrace. The location is wonderful and the amenities were great. However, when I moved out in April 2015, thing got really awful. First, the leasing office made an error and deduced $337 from my deposit. I immediately called and talked to the manager Chelsea. After pointing out the error, Chelsea said that she would call the accountant that day and get a check out in the mail to me. 2 weeks later I still had no check. I called Chelsea again, and again she said she would call the accountant and get this taken care of. 3 more weeks passed and

I have lived here for more than a year and I have to say, I'm pretty happy to be moving out. It is incredibly expensive, and definitely not worth it. The only perks are the pool, the work out room, and the fact that it is pet friendly. Aside from that, the people who work here are incredibly rude. I always got the vibe when speaking to them that they really don't care about you. Also, don't think that just because it's in Los Gatos that it's safe, my partner has had his car broken into TWICE. We notified the landlords and all they did was say "sorry". However

Tried to take a tour at this community and it was one of the worst customer service experiences I have had in a very long time. The first person I talked to stated she could not help me because she was only doing computer work that day. The second person I talked to said a third person could help me because she was with someone else. The third person started to help me but after a few questions she became really unfriendly and told me I would have to wait for the second person to return. I guess she decided I was not worth her time. The place looked and smelled like an old hotel so I was not too

If you're looking for a great place to live, this is it. The staff is friendly and professional. The on-site maintenance crew will attend to your requests in a timely manner. Your nieghbors are friendly and many of them are dog lovers. You are steps from downtown Los Gatos and all the wonderful shops and restaurants. My favorite farmers' market is a short stoll from home. In short, this is a fantastic place to live.
