Property manager is the absolute worst. I wouldnt move here for that one reason. Ive talked to over 20 people here that share similar stories with the property manager. Watch out for her if you do move her. Shes very mean and will tow your car just cuz shes like that. I used to smoke up with my property managers. She follows the rules here and keep in mind. Theres a million rules here. I didnt have my parking pass cuz it fell off from the wind. Next morning cars gone. She KNOWS im paying for the spot. She did it 3 times in a single month costing me over $1,000 in towing fees. I have it taped to my windsheild now. Keep in mind. Shell cancel your lease if u get on her bad side. She shows no empathy or sympathy. Just stone cold

I lived there. Worst experience I ever had with apartments. The cheap price is not worth it. There are a lot of roach problems. Hard to get in contact with maintenance. Worst of all, they over charge you for unnecessary work when you move out. Even charged me on cleaning service when I had hired someone to clean my apartment. Also for everyone to know it is not safe to park on the curbside in front of the apartment or on the ride road cause my car driver side window got broken but nothing got stolen. Also noticed many in the same situation as I was.

Do NOT live here by all means. I would not recommend this place to anyone. My boyfriend and I decided to give this place a shot due to reviews being better after new management. Boy we were WRONG. If anything, management is just as bad or maybe even worse. Sure the cheap prices might catch your attention, but a lot of spiders and cockroaches will also be a part of your daily life no matter how clean you keep your place. Not to mention this place has an inattentive property manager and workers who dont care about their tenants. I understand times get busy, but to contact the landlord about an issue to never getting a response and instead having to consistently fix our own problems. Not to mention the property manager constantly misinforms us about cleaners/maintenance/whatever coming on a specific day... only for them to NEVER come. Whats the point of paying all these fees if you basically fix it yourself or wait 3 weeks for maintenance to come? Another issue is parking. I paid for covered parking only for random tenants to park in my spot WITHOUT a tag and refusing to move. And of course, nothing was done until LATER and NO CAR WAS TOWED. Is this complex actually monitored by cameras? Because Ive never seen a camera anywhere and the gates are sometimes open for homeless people to get in. Whats the point of paying extra to have your car in a more secure place if youre just going to keep the gates open? This is the worst place Ive ever lived at and its only been 2 months. Cant wait until this lease ends and I can get out of this disgusting place.

The staff is very professional and so friendly. I felt very comfortable with living here after touring this property. The grounds and landscaping is so beautiful and well maintained. All of our Maintenance requests has been addressed in a timely manner. The maintenance team is professional and friendly. I would recommend to any college student looking for a nice friendly place, close to the university.

Maintenance was always late/ forgetting about the maintenance reports my roommates and I made. That isn’t even the worst part. The security is terrible. In the parking lot, a homeless man tried knocking on my car window asking for the code to get in while I was in my car. And the security didn’t improve after I reported it. My apartment got broken into, and items were damaged. The walls were graffitied. Do not move in here if you are scared of any of these things happening.

Where do I start?! My daughter and I went and toured the University Riverside Garden Apartments and we very impressed and not only with the value but the units them selves. Being able to have different options to fit your budget and how the staff really cares about placing my daughter with someone that would be a good fit with her personality. We did the tour with Brenda Steele and she was full of so much useful information and was very inviting to my daughter and I. Sending my child to college is already a scary thing but I feel so much better about the process having met Brenda and her showing us all the security offered and room set ups. Excited for my daughter and her next adventure in college living.

Positives: The price is affordable with a decent clean apartment and best of all its a roughly 5-10 minute walk to campus and to food places. Management is really nice and helpful when they do actually help. The community is nice: theres two pools for residents and a laundry room as well.Negatives: The internet is not great at all, I have to resort to go to an on campus library to work on assignments. Never order packages to your apartment. Youre better off having them delivered to your parents home. All your packages go to the front office and more often than not the front office keeps your packages hostage for days and you have to constantly nag them about it before they finally tell you to pick it up.There arent any bike racks, so you have to either chain your bike to the stairs or leave them in your apartments.

I moved in Sept 2016 and have enjoyed living here. I find it better than living on campus, way bigger accommodations, and it has the exact same system in place in terms of roommates. I was placed with guys the same age as me and we all go to UCR together so I am not missing out on that college experience that you get from dorms. The staff takes care of my maintenance requests usually the same day I put it in, they even text my phone when packages come. I pay $603 for my own room and only share a bathroom plus its only like $30 bucks for all the utilities like water and trash andthe internet and cable is free so that is nice. I walk to campus because it only takes about five minutes since it is right next to the UV. Im kind of confused with the other persons review because I never hear loud noises or partying late at night, it actually feels secluded and peaceful here. They even have this little garden they put in next to the pool and BBQs. The inside of my apartment is completely renovated so everything looks brand new and works great. Ive never been in a place with hardwood floors and granite counter tops for so cheap. The pictures we saw before renting here looked exactly like what we got. I also love that they keep everything locked and you have to use a special key cause some friends of mine always complain at other places they have homeless coming in but I have not had this issue. Ive never really had any worries or issues since being here aside from the occasional plugged toilet. Marissa the property manager is always super nice and checks up on anything we need after maintenance requests. Ive already signed my lease for next year. Id definitely recommend this place if you want something cheap and close to campus but also really nice.

I was living with my girlfriend there 2 years ago. There were bug problems. There were leakage issues (the water from the neighbors above her would leak into her bathroom). Also, we had a really really bad experience with parking. Her permit fell onto the passenger seat and they towed her car.

No insulation, breakers flip 20-40 times a day in the summer, water frequently shut off, repairs force you to leave your apartment for 8 hours, none of the staff wear masks.To top it all off, we got a brand new car and on monday morning it was towed for not having placards, without any warning, notice or contact. My wife cant get to work now and her uniform is inside the vehicle.
