The Podium Apartments

I lived at the Podium for three years. The whole time I was there my neighbors in the whole apartment building were friendly, courteous, and helpful. My car has never been treated so well with parking out of the weather and protected by security. If my apartment needed attention or I had a concern, management responded graciously and immediately. Management is phenomenal. I will miss living at the Podium. It is such a pleasant wonderful place to live. Mary Edwards

We stayed for 9 years from 2013 to 2022 and had a very good time here. I recommend these apartments.

Positives:
--Great views from the patios (higher floors)
--Friendly and responsive staff.
--Big patios in some houses (so choose wisely)
--Common hot water supply allowing you to shower as long as you want without running out of hot water even during peak hours.
--Nice garden area in the middle.
--Covered cool parking area which is great in summer (with the option of getting a free second parking if it's available)
--Elementary (Eaton) and Middle school (Lawson) are about half a mile away, easy walking distance; Cupertino High school is a bit farther away.
--Library and its park are 0.3 miles away.
--Grocery stores are nearby.

Downsides:
--Washer & Dryer are outside the house in a common area. (find a house closer to this utility area)
--Walk from the car to the apartment can be long so you need a collapsible wagon/cart to carry your groceries and stuff from your car to your house. (guaranteed exercise every time you go out :)
--You have to keep the kids from running or dancing in the house to avoid troubling the downstairs neighbors. (can choose the first floor if this is a concern)

It's got a big parking lot, and the houses are all 2 story houses. Love this place.

Great community. Close to so many places likes restaurants, stores, De Anza College and Valley Fair mall.
