Edit: Changing to one star review because are you kidding me. I would give no stars if I could. Moved out less than two months after moving in; if that tells you anything. —— Reiterating all the concerns from the poor ratings. Two stars because T...

Didn’t respond to my request to tour.

I have lived here for almost 3 months. The apartments and amenities are really great but the thing that makes this place 5 stars is the management staff for me. They have been really amazing in making sure that our move was as smooth as it could be. ...

The Lafayette is a stylish and upscale community conveniently located in Santa Clara. I have the highest respect for the management team and their professionalism. The apartments are bright, sophisticated, and modern. There is an attention to detail ...

[Update] Went down the rabbit hole and discovered some concerning facts: Per the responses from the Lafayette there is a “scrutinized background check for short term rentals coming from Placemakr”. However, this becomes questionable as obviously ...

Was going to go look at a place here but seems they are operating it as a short term rental place. Worried for the safety of my family, will look elsewhere. Those looking better read up online about this place!!! Sketchy individuals in and out, day a...

I’ve been living here for a few months and am genuinely confused—is this an apartment complex or a hotel? Management never mentioned that neighbors could be short-term renters from platforms like Airbnb. This lack of transparency is disappointing...

Liuyi Zhu

They rent units out for Airbnb and I heard a potential suspect lived and got arrested… leasing refused to communicate the details and said it was no ongoing activity that requires resident concern. How ridiculous!!! The leasing office staff dodges ...

Avoid The Lafayette Santa Clara at all costs! I moved into The Lafayette just a couple of months ago, and what was sold as upscale, secure living has turned into a nightmare. Management quietly converted 121 units into short‑term rentals without in...

They use their vacant units as temp housing (like hotels) and rent it short-term to random people on platforms like placemakr etc. I do not suggest choosing this place if you value your family’s safety. it is currently unlivable. The place used to ...

I’m really disappointed and frustrated with how things have turned out at this apartment complex. When I moved in, I expected a peaceful, residential environment, but it turns out the building has been allowing short-term rentals to strangers witho...

I recently moved into The Lafayette, and I have to say, the experience has been fantastic! As a new apartment complex & community, there are always a few things that need to be worked out, but what truly makes a difference is the leasing office team�...

Very, very horrible and disappointing experience. We chose to live at Lafayette expecting a residential community, only to later find out that part of the property is being ❗️operated like a hotel. ❗️by third party placemkr (see my photos)Thi...

This apartment management irresponsibly allowed Placemakr to use 121 units without notifying residents, compromising transparency and tenant rights. They never disclosed that Placemakr would operate as a hotel, allowing anyone to enter the property a...

Yuxuan Song

Allowing Placemakr to use 121 units in this building, this apartment didn’t notify any of the tenants living here and made the deal behind our back. Not honest, no transparency and no consideration or respect for tenants’ rights and privacy. I ca...

I have been living here for a few months, and until now, my experience has been great. However, I just received a letter about Placemakr operating short-term rentals in our building. I looked it up online and saw that our apartment is already listed ...

Tony Z

I had a very disappointing experience with this property. It’s clearly being rented out to tourists for short-term stays, and there was no notice or transparency about this arrangement. The constant turnover of guests created noise, disrupted the s...

We recently toured The Lafayette Apartment, and it was a great experience! The property itself is modern, well-maintained, and has a lot to offer in terms of amenities and location. The floor plans are spacious, and the overall atmosphere feels upsca...

I can’t express enough gratitude to the incredible team here at The Lafayette. My son and I have been living here for a few months now, and from day one, the team has been nothing short of amazing. The facilities are top-notch, the building is alwa...

The place is beautiful, management is fantastic, and maintenance requests are handled quickly. Amenities are top-notch—we couldn't ask for better. The neighbourhood feels safe, and the building is well-secured. Highly recommend this for anyone!

My husband and I decided to tour this complex on the spot and were blown away with the cleanliness, professionalism, and hospitality exhibited here. Caterina was knowledgeable, personable, and had informative answers to all of our (many) questions. W...

My fiancé and I were looking for apartments in the Santa Clara area. The Lafayette is a lovely community and Rina was an amazing guide. She was knowledgeable about the area and incredibly professional.

Staff has been attentive and welcoming! Looking forward to many more years here!

J. Martinez

I toured with Kristie a few weeks ago and she was beyond amazing taking the time to show me her beautiful community! Jason and her definitely exceed all expectations!

Anas Althami

Horrible experience—dysfunctional and completely incompetent. No one picks up the phone, no one returns calls or emails, and you can’t get any assistance. You have to personally go to the office if you need anything. I also wasn’t aware of the ...

Kelsey Tu

I had the opportunity to view the apartment on a short notice and the leasing agent Rina was super accommodating. She also gave me and my fiance a tour of a few floor plans. Even when we signed our lease and moved in, Rina was super patient with me a...

I love this place! The management is amazing! If there is a request for repair, service immediately and fix it. I like view from my big balcony!

Stepan Goncharov

Leasing office stuff is amazing. If you are looking for the apartments in the Bay Area, you should definitely check out this place.
