The Bluffs at Pacifica Apartments

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it will still be a pig. DO NOT be enamored by the ocean front location. I kept a weather journal for my year at the Bluffs and only 32% of the days had even a wisp of sunshine. Not only is the sun absent, but it is FREEZING COLD when the wind blows, which it does at least 50% of the days. The fog is very similar to the sunset district in the city...heavy, thick, unrelenting some days. You literally will be unable to sit on your balcony on the ocean side, save about 10 days per year. If you are low income, this is your place. The rent is cheap, cheap, cheap. But the building is old, in disrepair, perched on a slowly weakening cliff face and the damage that the salt air does to anything you leave outside is something many people do not consider. The garbage area often has piles of people's unwanted furniture, old fridges/ovens, carpets, etc with an overflowing dumpster that attracts lots of mice. The grounds are messy and the dirt area adjacent to the parking lot where people take their dogs has a ton of glass and rusty metal in the dirt that is a hazard to your dogs.Be prepared to be GOUGED on your deposit. I lived in the apt for 12 months, never put a thing on the walls, magic erased the minimal amount of smudges on the wall and they charged me $400 to repaint the entire apt. During my pre move out inspection the maintenance guy said "I could have someone move in here tomorrow" and wouldn't you know it, they did just 2 days after I moved out, so I am very doubtful it was painted. They have not responded to multiple requests from the parent company to provide me with an itemized receipt detailing why my $1330 deposit ($750 for apt, $500 for dog, $80 for keys/fobs), was reduced to $550. ANY positive reviews are by the PERMANENT residents who have lived here forever and like their cheap rent. The Bluffs gouges all new tenants with rent increases, to subsidize the permanent residents who never move out.

I moved in on a Saturday it was really hot that day, the woman helping me did the bare minimum to make sure they got paid then left, didnt show me around or help at all.

After moving around for a year, I feel so blessed to have found The Bluffs and call this home. I can hear the ocean from my apartment and me and my dogs always feel safe and welcome. Its perfect

The apartments are a dream sitting on the cliffs, overlooking the ocean and being able to watch the whales. Almost everyone is a dog owner which creates a dog friendly community.

I always tell people how I love living in the Bluff.

The Bluffs is all about the positive. Home is no stress, no anxiety and a great place to forget about the work. That's the Bluffs. Come home to the daily resort.
