Top rated for Location
“I’m comparing this place to others I’ve stayed at around the world, and for the size of the complex, I would expect a larger gym. The parking area could also be improved; it might benefit from new paint as it currently feels a bit grimy. Additionally, due to the location of the apartment, you can hear the pool pump house running constantly, which is quite noticeable.”

What to keep in mind when looking for apartments with move-in specials in San Mateo, CA

Move-in specials offer an enticing incentive to San Mateo apartment renters looking to save. However, it’s important to ask about any stipulations to the move-in specials. A free month’s rent may only apply to specific apartment floors or basic amenities instead of the apartment you really want.

Other move-in specials might include a lowered or no security deposit option. Keep in mind the lack of security deposit means you are responsible for damage when moving out.

No application fees are also popular move-in specials, which will immediately put more money back in your pocket.

San Mateo apartments are more likely to offer move-in specials during an off-season like winter when fewer people are moving. You may be able to negotiate your own special like free parking for a year in the paid garage.
