I recently had the pleasure of working with Mae, a wonderful leasing agent. Mae has been fantastic in showing me the apartments and patiently answering all my questions about the community. I lived here a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it, and now, after 10 years, this was the first place I visited upon my return.Maes professionalism and friendly demeanor have made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I cannot wait to move back in and experience the community once again. Stay tuned for more updates once I officially move in!

My wife and I have really enjoyed living at eaves Mountain View at Middlefield!Mae and the community team regularly put together fun events that give us an opportunity to connect with our neighbors and unwind after work.The maintenance team here is very responsive whenever we have an issue, and usually anything that we bring up is resolved within 24 hours.The community is also walking distance to downtown Mountain View with many restaurants and grocery stores nearby. Would highly recommend this community for anyone looking to live in the area!

If its one thing I learned about finding a place to live in my years of renting... its read the Google Reviews BEFORE you move in... and Im glad I did for this life chapter of where I live.My experience so far has been above and beyond thanks to the down to earth leasing team who actually WANT you to have a great experience prior to moving in AND after - the latter part being non-existent from my prior renting experiences.The maintenance team is top notch (Youll meet The Hectors as early as your first day!) and Eaves at MTV deliver everything they set out to do which is a high value living situation. The buildings are NOT new - and youll definitely want a renovated unit. I saw the classic packages and even though it was exponentially cheaper... I couldnt allow myself to resent where I woke up every day just to save a few bucks and am glad I made the upgrade. The only gripe is that youll probably want to look up on Amazon Shower heads that increase water pressure.The grounds are great and meet the brand at high value. Tennis courts are run by an awesome guy named Francisco. The community feels safe and everyone Ive met so far has been great and fills the working professional label - which also speaks to the lack of decor youll see on balconies - but hopefully Ill help change that trend.Their are vagrants that pass through the grounds but coming from Oakland... they are harmless and just passing through and have not been known to cause property crime – but youll probably be picking up community trash on the common grounds out of your own sanity and pride for where you live.All in all... I highly recommend this community as a place to live - based on the value, above and beyond support from the day to day teams here, sense of security, proximity to work, a great pool and hot tub, a utilized tennis and basketball court area and friendly community. The only thing Id like see be built is a bike cage as the only options are to keep it on your balcony or out at regular ol public bike rack.

Ive lived here for a few years in a 1B1B apartment, and heres what I thought:Overall, 3/5. First, amenities are abundant (but they dont work all the time) and very friendly staff! Hector has been doing a great job keeping the apartment in working condition, and other staffs are very warm and welcome too. Special shout out to Mae, shes fantastic, energetic, understanding, welcoming and helpful - any community will be lucky to have her.But, the property is pretty old, so expect things to break down frequently even if you are being careful.Some specifics:- The appliances are pretty old- Theres a scheduled lawn maintenance every Wednesday which creates some noise, so be aware if you are working at home that day. Other than that its nice to maintain the lawns.- The bathtub overflow isnt working- The fake tiles in the bathroom look dirty but they just look like that :)In conclusion, Id say this is a nice place to live if you are okay with less modern appliances.

4.5/5. If youre tired of all those luxury units that offer lots of stuff no one needs and you just want a reasonable place, youll want to consider this one.Lets start with the bad. The property is old, which means youll get the usual issues, including the type of noise that is detrimental to cardiac health. If youre considering a lower unit, try to get a feel of how much movement youll have upstairs before renting. Telltale signs of too much movement usually, but not always, include lots of stuff on the deck and presence of doorbell cameras. There are units that feel like tyrannosauruses live upstairs. When they walk, you can see ripples on water glasses standing on your kitchen counter. Its striking, yet not surprising given the structure. Some people and pets are nocturnal, so the movement could easily start at 11pm and end at 2am. Even in units with light footed upstairs tenants, youll get the same noises from the hallways, albeit less intense. People let doors slam shut, with a force that shakes doors across the hallway. Another potential noise issue comes from wall-mounted TVs. The wall becomes a passive amplifier of the speakers, and it can feel super loud in adjacent units. Lastly: be careful with elevators and trash containers. Elevators are noisy and the trash is loudly dragged out in the early morning hours. If you get a low noise unit, youll be fine.The very good: Management. Theyre super helpful. Although short-staffed, they get the job done and are easy to work with. Note: dont waste your time trying to get through the phone robots, you wont ever reach anyone at the leasing office, just pay them a visit in person. Same goes for applying: go physically. Take a look at the actual apartments. You will have to do application stuff online, but make sure you visit first.More about the units: The renovated ones are good, make sure to take a look at those. Some of the heaters are weak, be prepared with supplemental heating like space heaters. The air conditioners are OK, powerful for their size. I just wish they were reversible heat pumps. The parking situation is good, though not assigned so you might need to spend time looking for your preferred spots. AT&T fiber internet is great, though be advised: it will take a tech visit and about 4 hours to get set up, even in pre-wired units. You have to go through the bulk account and pay the corporate Avalon middlemen, but at least you get more speed for the price. If you go with Xfinity, you can set the equipment up yourself, and the network at the property gets good signal, so youll have a stable connection.I hate that PG&E is paid through Conservice, theyre horrible, but theyre everywhere and inescapable. Electric meter numbers dont match, youll wonder if youre being scammed. Units have no water meters, and the water heaters are common gas fired boilers (btw: they still depend on electricity, so hot water goes out when there are power outages) its pretty much all divided equally. So feel free to use all the water you want. The pipes are old galvanized, so dont be alarmed by nasty colors just after opening faucets. BTW, theres a review here saying youll want to look for a new shower head from Amazon. Dont do that. Tell maintenance about any issue, and theyll help you. I was unsatisfied with my shower heads pressure, and they replaced it in no time and its perfect. The culprit of blocked shower heads is probably the galvanized piping.Ive no complaints about amenities. Theres occasionally minor issues: An elevator somewhere is down. A laundry room needs to be closed for a while. The system to reload the laundry card breaks. PG&E has a power outage for a few hours. Key fobs stop working. Ive seen these kinds of issues happen everywhere, and personally havent been affected by any of these, so my review is very positive. It might seem like Im negative. Im not, I really like this place. I just like to be thorough to avoid surprises, and I thought the details would be worth mentioning. Hopefully my review is helpful to someone!

I have been living here since 2019 and the current staff is the best ever of whom I have interacted with Mae, Hector, Victor. They are very quick, responsive, solution oriented and extremely friendly.I love the celebrations like pizza day, doughnut day, pie day etc make it feel really like community. Swimming pool is great, gym is great, barbecue burners, grass and trees are taken care of nicely. Common areas are clean. There are hub lockers to get packages to in safely manner. There is huge parking. Walking distance to mountain view station, downtown and Steven Creek.There are tennis courts too but they are rarely available as it is taken over by some class running company, so consider it is not part of society as it is never available. Table tennis is only available when the leasing office is open.

We had fantastic service from leasing agent, Mae Riedel, at Eaves Mountain View! She went above and beyond the call of duty, first squeezing me in for help when I showed up without an appointment; then notifying us when an apartment that better suited our needs at our price point came available (as we were about to rent a different unit at Eaves); then videotaping a walkthrough of the different apartment, then spending hours helping us complete the application process, which was complicated because the applicant is out of state. Thanks so much, Mae!

I am currently living in this apartment with high satisfaction.I moved from South Korea, and I did not know about the detailed procedures in the contract.Mae, the supervising manager, guided my very swiftly with kindness, which is still on-going till now. She arranged the maintenance of my garbage disposal to be finished within a day, and it was quite impressive.During the check-in, Matthias helped me in a lots of ways, introducing all the details precisely, carrying heavy luggage, etc.Because I never lived US before, I dont know exactly how much the quality of this apartment locates comparing to the average of US.However, I am pretty sure this apartment is close to the high quality buildings in South Korea, which are quite fancy enough in global standards.

I just wanted to take a moment and give a shout-out to Hector M. He is one of the best maintenance techs we’ve had and always knows how to resolve the issues (sink not draining, etc) we have in our apartment and makes living at Eaves a positive experience.
