B Street Apartments - Hayward, California

Serena DeTorres

My partner and I had an amazing experience here! We leased for 1 year during the pandemic and, while we’d hoped things would cool down during our lease so that we could enjoy being literally above downtown, we still enjoyed the environment, neighbors, and management.

The area does have quite some homeless people, but we never had concerns with feeling unsafe. The complex is also next to a police department and fire station!

The studio unit was really nice! All updated appliances and the brick walls were our selling points. We were a little disappointed when we were told a bike storage and roof top would be available soon. The bike storage was never made available during our lease, and the roof top was opened for a few weeks but was closed off due to more construction.

Another thing that was quite annoying was the amount of fruit flies/gnats our unit would have. We weren’t sure if the source was from our sinks or vents because the trash room was underneath us. We never complained about this to management, so that is on us. However, we did spend a good amount of money on tools to get rid of them.

There is a dirt lot right next to the complex where we would park our cars for free. Ours were never broken into or damaged, but we did see a few cars with shattered windows at times.

Alexander (the property manager) was great! Super friendly and always available to you via email/text.

All in all, I would recommend living here if you are someone who is looking for something affordable and updated! It would be ideal for singles or couples looking to save up.

I moved into one of the hybrid studios and I adore it. I love the brick, great natural/electric lighting, pet friendly, 5 burner stove, dishwasher, free parking, well lit common areas/walkways, and how secure the building is. If someone buzzes my unit I can see live quality video of who it is and from my phone so I don't miss packages from work. Even tho it is downtown I never have trouble getting in or out. I've walked to Lucky's, the breweries and coffee shop down the street. Alex has always been super helpful and quick to respond to anything I wasn't sure about or needed help with. I'm pretty happy to have moved here as its the 1st place I've lived outside of my hometown (the peninsula) in a very long time.

Great apartment in a historic/unique building! I moved into a studio apartment in October 2021, and I really like it here. The rooms seem to be recently updated so the appliances and cupboards all feel up to date. The neighborhood feels safe and there is free parking right next to the building. Also Alexander has been very helpful too with my transition into this new space!

All the 5 starts are for the services we received from Alexander. He is the best Property Manager we have had. His response time for any maintenance or any other apartment related question was impeccable. The apartment is beautiful,brand NEW gas Stove & especially loved the brick wall. Great location 5 min walk to BART . Lots of good restaurants and bars around which made weekends special for us. Farmer’s Market & many Downtown events every weekend . Great neighbors inside building which made living in this building easy and safe. Must recommend if you are looking for affordable accommodation in Hayward area.

Terrible. I got my car window broken 3 times while living here for a year, maybe less. Then come time to move out they charged my whole deposit and kept sending me bills and things. A couple other tenants and I had the same shared experience, felt scammy. The building wasn’t even done yet. Also def homeless people out and around, I got a few scary doorbell calls from some guys, as a single mother def not what I want to see at 2-3am a strange man in the doorbell camera buzzing my name/apt number to try to get in. My window overlooked the dirt lot and it became such an expense having to replace my window over and over. Cute place but way too many problems. My closet bars fell down like twice with all my clothes hanging too. Just very cheap and low cost materials.
