I've been in a downstairs apartment going on 2 years and I've never had any plumbing issues. I love it here. It's quiet and well maintained and friends who visit me always comment that's it's so chill here. Neighbors are cool and rest is pretty cheap for the area. No complaints!

Recently got my forwarded mail from my former El Captain address. I miss this quiet community that was very affordable and always had clean amenities. My new complex laundry room has been under repairs for two months. I don’t ever recall having a maintenance issue or laundry issue at El Captain. Parking was never a problem although if a disrespectful resident abused parking or quiet hours, the manager was very receptive of the complaint and always handled issues asap. Gone are my days of... residing in San Diego but if I ever need temporary housing for work again, I will check out this place first. Read More

I enjoyed my time living here. I lived here for 3 years and only moved because I was offered a job in 2 hours away. It was very quiet, clean and peaceful. I never had any issues with the washing machines and I did laundry once a week. I also never had any plumbing issues and I lived in a downstairs apartment. My rent was very affordable and my only utility bill was for my electric. I didn't mind the 2 E.S.A. dogs there but then I'm an animal lover. It's amazing what some people will complain... about. That shooting that took place was in the Winter and it was in front of a property that's located way down the street from us. Not even on the same street. I am a single female and lived alone and never felt unsafe living here. Read More

Parking situation is horrible, constant plumbing issues, laundromat works only half the time, there are shootings literally across the street, came here because they didn't allow dogs but then people bring dogs anyway. Then they have the audacity to keep raising my rent, literally go anywhere else.

I have lived on this property for over a year, and has been a very positive experience. It is quiet and peaceful, and the neighbors are very kind. El Capitan Apartments is quaint and located on a quiet street in Lakeside, and is a short walk to Lindo Lake County Park, and many shops and restaurants. The pool is always nice and clean, and is perfect for the hot summer days we get here in East County. The laundry machines are new, and paying for cycles is convenient. My favorite feature in the... apartment are the wood panel ceilings. I only wish they hadn't painted over mine, because that would have looked really cool, but it still looks very nice! The property manager who lives on-site is also very kind, and will take care of your needs in a very timely manner. She has handled many of my work orders myself, including fixing my heater when it started to get cold. Read More
