1. The staff (especially Tony, who gave us our tour) are all super friendly and accommodating. The Press checked pretty much all the boxes being clean, modern, walkable, lively, and !!dog friendly!! Had some safety concerns about the area when I first moved in, but those have been put to rest for the most part after walking around at different times of the day – just use some common sense living in the city. Some of the earlier reviews mentioned the amenities being out of order, but as of our stay they’re all up and running and well maintained. Sound insulation from neighbors is good, but it’s a noisy street as to be expected around here. Good restaurant next door on the ground floor for lazy nights!

   The apartment is spacious with great natural light, but unfortunately the layout wastes a bit of square footage on the entry and hallway, and the cabinets in the bathrooms and kitchen have an odd contact paper that is noticeably pulling away. Shower/sink water pressure are a bit low and not sure if its adjustable. Overall though, very happy with things here, and I wouldn’t have chosen anywhere else in Midtown/Downtown Sac!!

2. If only I could select zero stars instead of one. This apartment complex is absurd. Where do I begin; the staff is terrible there isn’t a single member who’s over maybe thirty, the F45 gym on the east face of the complex is the loudest in all the city, they’re constantly finding excuses to “inspect” residents apartments, the residents themselves are an entitled & immature bunch who deeply desire to retain their once youth trashing the pool area every weekend like it’s Vegas, you can’t find a single resident who doesn’t have a yapping annoying dog. The list goes on & on. The ONLY good thing about The Press is Armando the head of maintenance, Paul his son and the whole cleaning crew.

3. The Press in Midtown, Sacramento, is a complete rip-off. The owners and landlords here are nothing short of greedy, charging sky-high prices for the smallest, most cramped apartments you can imagine. It’s like they’re squeezing every last penny out of you while giving back the bare minimum in return.

   It’s Midtown, sure, but that doesn’t excuse the extortionate rent for a space that barely fits basic furniture. The owners are clearly more interested in lining their pockets than providing a decent living experience.

   Do yourself a favor—avoid this place and don’t let them take you for a ride. There are plenty of other places in Sacramento where you’ll get way more value for your hard-earned money.

4. Had a wonderful time at resident appreciation day. Alicia and Yanna were as usual very attentive. It is so nice to interact with the staff at The Press always greeted with a smile.

5. Lived here for only a year (Feb 2023 through 2024). Had we not been moving out of state I can’t think of any reason that I would have chosen to move elsewhere.

   Amenities are amazing and well maintained considering the traffic and usage. There was one incident at the pool and the management took appropriate actions and instituted some rules that seemed to curb bad behavior for the remainder of my residency.

   I never have felt so secure and safe especially considering we lived on the first floor. There are s many key fob secured doors one would have to get through before they could enter your apartment uninvited. To be honest the number of doors is a little inconvenient as a resident but that is ok.

   One point of improvement is the carpet in the area that is shared by a restaurant tenant. The carpet got extremely greasy prety quickly one the business opened. Im assuming they want to keep carpet so that no one will slip on a greasy floor, but the carpet would stink and looks terrible. I would think there is a better solution.

   Parking garage was great value. Didnt have issues with the door like I have had at other apartments. Price was considerably cheaper and more spacious than my previous midtown apartment and others I looked at

   Another point of improvement was the decision to remove dog waste baskets on the exterior of the building. When we first moved in there was at least one wastebasket on each side of the facility, but after some landscaping improvements they inexplicably removed I believe two of the cans which made it less convenient to dispose of pet waste. As a result, I feel like less people in general were picking up pet waste because it was no longer easy to dispose of. Lastly, for some reason there was broken glass on the sidewalks pretty often, but maintenance got better over time in cleaning it up or less glass was broken. To me the glass is a safety concern for my dogs feet. Luckily didnt have an issue.

   Lastly, I do wish the material used on the ground in the dog park was different. It is currently like a dirt or sand thing and when your dog chases the ball they easily kick up clouds of dirt which can get into the eyes and ears. Also the sand irritates my dogs paws.

   Overall would definitely recommend this apartment. The small points of improvement ate not something that would keep me from renting again and are not entirely in the management’s control.
