    waiting list at san mateo?

But the fact is I've lived in a Torrance apt, Newport beach (those girls were the biggest partiers) and at the village in irvine... And the walls were thin and the people nearest to me were...

    i agree, i wouldn't spend money on appliances, furniture or window coverings.  the only "staging" i would do is to de-clutter and clean/paint.  my 2 cents and good luck.

    waiting list at san mateo?

    yes, san mateo (especially the 1st 3 phases) are the closest to the apartments, but there is a street and parking that separates the apartments from san mateo.  with that said,  I do hear the apartment people partying sometimes past 12am... (but not nearly as it's not as bad as any of the 4...

    waiting list at san mateo?

    the first 3 phases have a 6 to a "motorcourt" setup... phase 4-6 have 8 per motorcourt... (not sure about the others, they are on phase 8 ).  it's wide enough that you can have 1 car coming in while one is going out... the ends of the motorcourt are squared with a wall at the end (not bulb...
