The manager is a wonderful,cheerful and pleasant she has understanding for the tenanants in the building and Jessica her assistant is cool,charming and excellent lady!! the supervisor is extremely talented with his whole team which are working day and night for providing outstanding service in Alameda! Overall i highly recommend this residence building for a longer stay

In a mostly safe and busy area. Just recently moved in and love it. Pet friendly and within walking distance of tons of things to do. Any issues I found on move in day we’re quickly fixed by maintenance. Beautiful amenities on property. I love it here!

I would not recommend to anyone. We have lived here since August of this year and we have had at least 8 maintenance requests. You can find an apartment that is much better than this one. It will have better staff, amenities, and responsiveness to maintenance requests. Don’t waste your money at this apartment and get stuck in a lease like we have.

Wow! I love this place!! I did a lot of research, read lots of reviews and looked at a lot of apartments but kept coming back to Modera. They checked every box for me wrt location, management and maintenance response, garage security/safety surrounding areas. In addition to the above must haves, what made me finally decide was the warm welcome and quick response I got from Jessica and Sunny! They made all the difference and worked with me on resolving all my issues from move-in dates to... moving transport even when the issue was not theirs. Very accommodating and very attentive!

Although the parking fees are quite high, it is still competitive when comparing with other apartments. I highly recommend Modera as your next home. Feel free to do the research and read the reviews yourself but stop by and you'll see what I mean :)

Thanks Jessica and Sunny for all your help with my moving experience! Keep up the great work!! Read More

NOISE... Despite all the great reviews here - let's please talk about the noise at Modera the Alameda, which comes from all directions. If your apartment is facing the WHOLE FOODS, there is plenty of noise, particularly AT NIGHT. Almost every night there are deliveries happening, and that is - in the middle of the night, from anywhere 2am-5am. Most of the time around 2am. What makes it particularly noisy: There is no loading dock trucks can dock onto. They have to park in front of the loading... zone, and offload pallet by pallet. Every time the loading ramp/bed of the truck hits the floor, with a worker and a pallet and dolly on it, it makes a real loud noise that echoes up the entire building. It echoes because the parking lot is empty. Sleeping with the windows open is therefore kind of impossible... Even with closed windows you will hear it and not only light sleepers will wake up from it. On top of that, garbage collection shows up in the middle of the night, to collect Whole Food's trash, which is, you guessed it, very noisy and echoes as well.
So PLEASE be aware of the noise disturbance that bothers so many peoples' sleep here at Modera who's apartment is facing the Whole Foods. But that is not it. The Whole Foods has several very loud, constantly running generators on its rooftop to provide power to the store. The loud noise is constant, 24/7, and while one could argue it's a kind of white noise, it is still very loud and those big generators are not pretty to look at either. Do not expect the leasing office to tell you anything about this - at all. Even when asked directly.

Apart from the Whole Foods. The Alameda is a loud, relatively busy street. The train station has trains coming in and out blowing their horns also relatively loud, even sometimes at night. Lastly you have airplanes flying into SJC in about 150 feet proximity to the building all day.
You get the idea.... This place is far from ideal if you care about noise, as it's coming from all directions.
Finally, the hotel to the left of Modera (Arena) has the sketchiest people hanging out in front of it, all day, and you will always encounter homeless on the street.
