I lived in this property from 2021 to 2023 and loved it. It was affordable, had a bigger than usual balcony, high ceilings and security. It provides the basics which keeps prices low. This place is in between downtown and japantown, but a quiet neighborhood. You may get the occasional unhoused person but that’s city living. The freight train does run right next to it, so while they can’t sound the horn between 10pm to 4am, you will hear the screeching of the wheels. But the apartment does have... soundproof glass to help. Rodrigo, the staff, and my neighbors made this place. We looked out for each other. My only complaint is the lack of onsite amenities they should consider investing in, but you are in the middle of everything. Highways, VTA, Airport all minutes away.

Pros: Affordable, Secure, Great Staff, Parking Space, Great Neighbors, Onsite Laundry, Quiet, Grass Area, Heating Units, Walk to Downtown or Japantown, VTA Station closeby, High Ceilings

Cons: Freight Train, No A/C, No Pool, No Gym, No Clubhouse, No EV Chargers Read More

I have rented from Metropolitan Court Apartments for the past two years. The experience has been nothing sort of excellent. The building is located within walking distance of San Pedro Square, Downtown San Jose and Japantown. While the property is close to the train tracks, the area is pretty quiet besides the train and has been very safe and secure. The staff at Metropolitan Court really make it a great place to live. Rodrigo is the best property manager I have met and helps whenever needed.... The maintenance staff, Harry and Carmen, are always making the property look great and respond to work requests quickly. As an earlier review said, the people at Metropolitan Courts are what really make it shine. I would recommend this property 10/10 times. Read More

We rented from Metropolitan Court from November 2019 through November 2020. Overall, the place when we moved in was Downtown San Jose for sure! But recently, so much renovation and attention to detail are currently going into this property. The property was secure and safe. We have no issues while staying here.

Do note that the property is close to the railroad tracks... yes the train goes by. And yes you will hear it. Aside from that, the property is lovely. A big shout out to the cleaning,... maintenance, and property manager! All of you knocked it out of the park. If not for them... this property would fall short! Read More

We are a family with 2 years old daughter. We really enjoyed our time at Metropolitan Court. It was such a pleasant time. We got to know all of them very well. Mrs. Carmen, super nice cleaning lady, often play with my daughter. We exchanged gifts with them too. Really feel like a family. Harry the repairman delivered top-notch, next day repair. We really love our time there and getting to know all of them. In the end, it's the people that matters.

Apartment is located right next to Union Pacific tracks. Past midnight almost everyday around 1-2am, you can hear train horns, which seriously disturbs your sleep and is really really loud. This happens quite often, and even during the day as well. If you want a good nights sleep, don't choose this apartment
