Casa Escondida - Escondido, California

I recommend Casa Escondida Apartments highly! I've lived here 12 years & haven't had one complaint. The staff is friendly & the neighbors too. Oh, we have a wonderful activities director. She goes ALL out to have activities that are diversified to please everyone.

My mom moved in here recently and so far everything is great. The pool and hot tub are great and always clean. The unit itself had all new appliances and cabinets and the ceiling fans are super nice. The AC unit is just a wall unit but does the job and has a remote which is nice. But with the fans you don’t need it much which is great.

I found the apartment online and talked to someone and got the info and we decided to move forward with it. Which was super easy to apply for and got approved quickly. I drove down from Irvine and paid the move in fees before my mom came and had no issue and staff was friendly and attentive.

The building itself is on the older side. But we have no issues. Elevators work and apartment is quiet (don’t hear neighbors). Laundry room works great also.

Building has plenty of parking and the area is very walkable which is great. A ton of restaurants and fast food all within walking distance and two grocery stores right next door. My mom uses her cart and gets her stuff and never even needs to drive anywhere.

Only utility she pays for is electric and rates are good and her bills are pretty low. We went with AT&T for internet after Cox failed and were not helpful.

Her balcony is large and she likes to sit out there and watch the hummingbirds.

I will note the kitchen is tiny. But for one person who doesn’t cook much it is fine. The oven is a half oven which is perfect for her and gives more counter space.

Overall she loves the apartment and the area is so nice and clean so walkable.

I am so glad we found this place.

Also. One nice surprise when we moved in turns out you also get this large closet (located outside of the apartment) for storing stuff in. Which was such a nice bonus and my mom can keep her extra stuff out there which saved a lot of space in the unit.

I never even moved in the place,because I had to wait for a inspector from the VA to see if it was possible for me to be able to use the shower. And its just not physically possible. And now they want 2100.00 for rent and other fee's that makes absolutely No sense. I'm a highly decorated combat veteran and also a quadrapolegic in a wheel chair for the rest of my life. I never even moved a single thing in. And now they want all of this money to cancel something I never even moved into. Does anybody know how to get into contact with the owners of this place. Because it was my understanding that it was month to month and now she's telling me the lease is for a year. And no one said anything about any of this stuff prior to me getting the keys. That's tge most obserd thing I've ever heard. I can't pay rent in both places. And still eat and take care of my other bills. Oh well you can't get blood out of a turnip!

I'm very happy here. Quiet, pretty surrounding. Friendly residents. Has security plus guards; big enclosed patio. Functional adults age range mostly 70'. Management is efficient and thoughtful. They allow my dog and my cat

I had moved in and had to leave due to the fact tgat my shower chair didn't fit. The staff was very professional and refunded my deposit.

Casa Escondida advertises its “STANDARD APARTMENTS” as 617 sq ft, but they are substantially smaller!
Of the 330 total apartments, ~324 “STANDARD APARTMENTS” measure ~510 sq ft interior space.
This includes a ~5x5 (or 25 sq ft) unheated storage closet. So 510 – 25 = ~485 heated sq ft.
~6 apartments are larger than standard.

Beware, When I was moving maintenance cleared out my storage unit and left their 5 gal bucket of paint in my then empty storage room. Maintenance told me they thought we had already moved and just left it so they emptied it and was going to start the painting for new tenants. Val told me that it didn't matter that their paint was left in my locked room, if I didn't have pictures to prove it was their maintenance man, then I couldn't prove it was them! She was amazing when we looked at the property and then turned to something I didn't recognize; insulting, rude and outright inappropriate with her comments! I could go on and on but too numerous to mention! Please beware, just talk to the residents!

My husband and I chose Casa Escondida because they are handicap accessible. My husband has muscular dystrophy and he is wheelchair bound which makes finding an accessible apartment difficult. Casa Escondida is a quiet, clean property where the management team takes time for their residents. I love that they have a "team" of managers and maintenance personnel that are at the ready to answer any questions or concerns. Recently, the property has been going through some renovations which has enhanced its beauty. I really appreciate everyone at Casa Escondida!
