Alexus: The Heart of 888 San Mateo Drive

888 San Mateo Drive isn’t just an apartment complex; it’s a true community. From the moment we arrived, the friendly atmosphere made us feel right at home. The complex itself is spotless, pet-friendly, and beautifully maintained with upgraded apartments featuring designer-colored walls, not just the standard white, and modern appliances. Despite being close to the railroad tracks, the triple-pane windows minimize the noise so well that it’s barely noticeable.

The location is unbeatable, with easy walking access to Burlingame Avenue’s amazing restaurants and shops, Washington Park with its stunning rose garden, tennis and pickleball courts, and Safeway and Walgreens just a couple of blocks away. Our third-floor unit is flooded with natural light, and we love the air conditioning, front-load washer and dryer, and the peaceful balcony for morning coffee or sunset wine. The amenities are impressive, from the heated year-round pool and hot tub to the convenient dog-washing station and small dog park. There’s also a spotless community barbecue, perfect for gatherings.

However, what truly sets 888 San Mateo Drive apart isn’t just the location or the amenities—it’s the people, and specifically, Alexus. She is the main reason we chose 888 as our home. After looking at over a dozen other complexes, it was Alexus who made all the difference. Her warm, welcoming demeanor and genuine care for our needs stood out above everything else. She showed us every detail with such attention, as if she were picking the place for herself. Alexus exudes professionalism while making you feel completely at ease, and having someone like her on your side when choosing a home makes all the difference.

Beyond Alexus, the property is expertly managed by Randi, who keeps everything running smoothly like a five-star hotel. Ross and Issac, the maintenance team, are always quick to respond—often within hours—to any request, ensuring everything stays in top shape.

In the end, Alexus was the deciding factor for us. Her warmth, professionalism, and dedication to making us feel at home made 888 San Mateo Drive an easy choice. If you’re looking for a community where you’re treated like family and every detail is cared for, 888 San Mateo Drive is the place to be, and Alexus is the reason why.

I’ve had an amazing experience moving and have only been met with kindness and compassion from the rock star leasing agent, Alexus. She was honest during my tour about the train noise and when I moved in, she made every effort to make it as seamless as possible. She went out of her way to get me a heartwarming welcome gift and dessert on my move-in day (which came in incredibly handy of course), and has since been incredibly responsive and helpful. Alexus is such an asset to this community and I feel like I can go to her with all questions. She is responsive, respectful, fun, and caring. This community has been wonderful so far, and I appreciate all of her help! The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because of the train, but I’m sure that gets better with time. Lots of love to the 888 community!

My boyfriend and I moved in a couple of months ago and we simply love it so far! The apartment is in a great location - only 5 min walk from Burlingame downtown, close to Caltrain station, 5 min drive from downtown San Mateo. We are enjoying very much the apartment amenities and all what the complex offer (gym, swimming pool, BBQ). The Staff is so helpful and patient - in particular Michelle, she is amazing! I'd give 5 (or more stars is possible) without any hesitation!
