I've hopped around the Bay Area before, and I must say, Forma stands out with its hospitality and care. Every facility here is well-maintained and the staff are on top of everything. The notification system for packages is a small but appreciated touch. And those little things really make living here a unique experience.

Molly, Desmond, and Marcus are the leasing agents you wish you had everywhere. They've answered all my questions with such patience and care. The landlord here is doing something right to have such attentive staff. Whenever I needed help, they were just a message away—talk about peace of mind!

I've been living here for a while now and the cleanliness of the place still impresses me. The cleaning staff must be magicians because they keep everything spotless daily. The convenience of being so close to the BART line is a game-changer for my commute. The rooftop views never get old, especially during sunset—it's like having dinner with a view every night!

The landlord and the service staff are the friendliest people I've met. They make sure any service requests are taken care of almost immediately—usually within a day or two. Plus, the security team is more than just security; they're helpful neighbors who are part of the community. And kudos to the landlord for organizing those awesome community events; they really bring everyone together.

This building is truly beautiful, and the amenities do not disappoint. The rooftop is a dream, and the gym has everything I need. It's a bit on the pricey side, but I'd say it's worth it for the air conditioning alone. Just a heads up for car owners—the parking situation is not ideal, but that's city living for you.

The staff, including the landlord, are helpful and friendly most days. However, there can be occasional hiccups, like with any apartment living. The parking situation with the car stackers has been a bit of a headache. It's clear they're trying to resolve issues, but sometimes the solutions offered can be more inconvenient than the problem.

The property started off great, but the car stackers are a nightmare—they're always down. It's frustrating when you can't use your car because of the faulty parking system. The move-out process was also a letdown. It felt impersonal, and the lack of clarity on charges left a sour taste in my mouth.

I expected better support from the landlord, especially with the car stacker issues. I've left voicemails and reached out for emergency support but got no response. A little acknowledgment or an apology would have gone a long way. It's disappointing to see such a lack of responsiveness.

This building is my little slice of heaven in the city. The gym is fantastic and having the park so close by for those impromptu dog meetups is great. The on-site dog run and those amenity spaces are just the cherry on top. It's only been 2 weeks since I moved in, but the local concerts and events have been an absolute blast!

I can't say enough good things about Marcus, who streamlined the application process for me, and Johnny who fixed my window with a smile. The staff here, including the landlord, are all about building a tight-knit community. They're always so friendly and inviting—it's made this big building feel like home.
