We have been here for 10 months. In that time the water has been out for 6+ hours at least 20 times. There is something very wrong with the water here, the taste is awful and you will need to purchase bottled water. The temperature also fluctuates from scalding to frigid and makes showering very difficult. Additional issues: -Circulation in the pool was interrupted and allowed to stand stagnant for 2 months. The jacuzzi water turned green was cordoned off with caution tape during this time. 2 months to address. -Quality of the apartment. I have lived in cheap apartments my entire life and this one has some of the worst construction I've ever seen. Expect to constantly hear your neighbors whether upstairs or downstairs. -If you live near the pool, expect to hear 10+ screaming kids every day spring-fall. Most are decent about quieting down at 10pm, but often you will hear the shouts of kids playing at the pool until midnight -lowest income housing in Encinitas, this brings with it all the typical BS like police calls, loud neighbors, obvious drug deals. If you have a nice car expect it to get broken into (happened to me, drive a late model Ford sedan) Anna, the property manager, is very unresponsive and rude. Has the gall to turn instant agro when I call in to ask why the water has been off for 4 hours again. Do not move here, yes it is cheap but it sucks.

We moved in 6/15/15. Anna Haimain, the property manager, sold on how nice and quiet and cozy this apartment complex was. Well, all properties have their issues but Elan Seacrest is by far the worst apartment I have ever lived in. Let me tell you why and save you the massive headache living here has been. First, the good: -Very nice location -Reasonable rent for the location (thought $1700 for a 1 bedroom does seem a bit steep) The very bad: -Downstairs neighbor is a loud abusive drunk and despite multiple complaints Anna has done nothing to address the issue. This clown plays loud rock music until 1AM but when HE is finally done and ready to go to bed will start pounding the ceiling if you so much as get up to use the restroom. -Building on this, the walls are paper thin. I can hear when all of my neighbors fight, shower, have sex, you name it. -Shower temp/water has been a constant issue. The shower will indeterminately heat up to scalding, gain and lose pressure, go freezing, completely unpredictable. Total crap. I have had maintenance look at it 3 times, he has stated the entire assembly needs to be replaced but Anna will not fix it. Showers now take 5-20 minutes depending on how fickle the water temperature is being that day. The minor stuff: -Build quality is amongst the lowest. Since we moved in 6/15/15, I have had to replace every single light bulb, had the shower towel rod break off, had the toilet paper roll rod break off, the unit came with chipped tile next to the fireplace. -The fireplace. The genius that designed this complex included a fireplace in every unit BUT NO STORAGE. That is right, no broom closet, no coat rack, no nothing. The only storage besides the kitchen is the bedroom closet. -If you are near the pool, all summer kids used the pool and were very loud. Mostly they respected the 10PM curfew but this complex is 90% families, and there are a LOT of kids in the pool when the weather allows. We are in the process of moving out. Anna is a terrible property manager, the parent company Property West Management is completely inaccessible, I have to date not received a return cal despite numerous calls to Marissa, Anna's supervisor at PWR. Don't make the mistake and look only at the cheap rent. You will hate living here.

This place is creepy and unsafe. The parking area doubles as a daycare center where the children run around the cars among dead animals, razor blades, condom boxes and other attractive garbage. If your kids play here, I hope they have their shots. Also, the photos don't capture all the underwear hanging outside to dry. This is an extra touch of class that I particularly enjoy.

I recently moved out early on a lease because I couldn't stand living here. It was constantly noisy, kids ran screaming past our balcony ALL DAY LONG, and were left unattended all day in the pool, throwing random things into it, we hardly were able to use it. Our neighbors were completely inconsiderate, they'd start blaring music at 7am every morning so loud, it'd wake me up, even after i went over to their door to tell them to turn it down. Our upstairs neighbors were noisy and had cats with flees that got into our house, and our manager did NOTHING about it even though the news of the cats was new to her. The manager is what really blew me away, she was so flakey I have no idea how she is in charge of running a place. After we moved in I saw her 2 times. She never returns phone calls, I've left messages that have gone unanswered, and I've been waiting for my deposit back for OVER A MONTH and she will no answer or return my calls. I hated living here, it almost ruined my entire experience of living in Encinitas. If you want to live in a SMALLLLLL apartment (we had a 2 bed even!) with lousy management, loud neighbors and horrible parking, this might be the place for you.
