Before I share my comment I would like to say that I was a potential tenant and have never stayed at this establishment. I scheduled a time to see a unit and when I arrived (even a bit earlier than the scheduled time), they informed me they gave away the apartment. I'm sure most people would assume that as a business, a common courtesy/good customer service would be to inform the person BEFORE they show up as to not waste their time. I can't speak to how amazing or bad it is to stay in the Domain but if this is their work et... read more

Hello JuJu B. My name is Marcus Thomson and I am the manager of Domain. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. I can certainly understand your frustration over showing up to view an apartment only to discover that somebody else already had leased it. With today's technology & apartment hunters having the ability to apply for a home online, away from the leasing office, we have seen this happen from time to time. Please know that we didn't mean to waste your time. Fortunately, the apartment you wer... read more

I have lived at Domain for about a year now and I am waiting for my lease to expire to move out. In all honesty, the building itself is great in terms of location and amenities, however, the management team here are absolutely the worst people. They are rude, unresponsive and a complete nightmare to work with - this is coming from a current tenant, I can't imagine how applicants must feel. Marcus, the "supervisor" is uncaring and lacks emotional intelligence. To me, all the perks of the building are outweighed by the poisone... read more

I was very excited to lease an apartment at Domain. I even overlooked the red flags of trash and bed frames in the hallway and assumed it was a one off because the building came recommended and I really liked the 1br with a den I was interested in renting. After putting in my application, my old landlords were less than 2hrs over the 72hr window to submit the rental verification forms and they cancelled my application. No biggie, I'll just pay ANOTHER $50 to apply and things should be fine...right? WRONG. 2hr delay caused a ... read more

Our goal is to make the move-in process as easy as possible for our future residents and I am sorry to hear that this may not have been the case for you. I understand that your frustrations were over a delay in verifying your rental history.

I'm not sure why there are such low ratings for Domain. I think most people only review when they are irritated by things. So let me break the pattern. I have had nothing but positive experiences since applying for my place in February. Brittney, Danielle and Stephen are all extremely courteous and prompt in their management of the building. They always follow up with me immediately. Francisco is also great - he has responded to maintenance issues (haven't had many) in a timely, efficient manner. The location and amenities a... read more

Very quiet and comfortable community to live in with great amenities! My favorite part about this building is the Meditation class held once per month by a Buddhist Monk from Thailand who is based out of San Jose and they always bring delicious snacks! I also really enjoy the Yoga classes with Grey twice per week! The building staff are very friendly and quick to address any issues you might have while living here. Note: There is No Air Conditioning and the "Free Donuts" and "Free Breakfast" is very limited so I wouldn't ex... read more

I've been living at Domain for over a year and I LOVE this place!!! The staff is sweet and extremely helpful. They put on events consistently and it creates a nice sense of community. I was a bit wary of cleanliness because they are animal friendly but, to my pleasant surprise, you wouldn't even know animals are allowed - it's spotless! Highly recommend it!

Thank you very much for sharing your positive feedback with us! We are excited to continue providing you with an unrivaled experience. - Property Manager

The apartment itself is very nice, albeit a bit pricey. And the gym is great and the location is solid. The negative is management - and I don't even think it's the people who work there but how they are treated by upper management. It's very corporate and inflexible - makes you feel very much like a revenue stream instead of a person. Don't like that aspect at all, wish they weren't so rigid and impersonal.

I lived here for nearly 2 years and recently moved out. I believe you can really see what a business is all about when you are no longer their customer, and the management at Domain have shown their true colors. I hate to leave a bad review, but I think you should know all of the ins and outs before deciding to live here. My biggest complaint is the disregarding of the lease and law and the dishonesty by management when I moved out. This is a deal-breaker for me and I want others to be aware. Rents are high here, but that is... read more

i lived here for 13 months in one of the D wing split level 2 bdrm apartments facing 14th street. from chatting with others, it seems that the D wing split levels are among the best layouts for the 2 bedrooms. The building is in a great location; close to Bart and uptown, walking distance to Jack London Square, Swans market, and Lake Merritt. I enjoyed my stay there very much and have nothing but positive things to write about the management. I never had an issue during the entire time i lived here and any question or mainte... read more
