"Joel Marquez is a real pro when it comes to maintenance! When others struggled to fix my trash disposal, Joel came through and got it sorted in no time. His dedication and expertise are truly impressive. Now, let me tell you about Henry Valdez – he's not just your average technician. Henry's like a breath of fresh air! He handled the replacement of my microwave with such ease and skill, it was a pleasure having him around. And Laura Marquez? She's exactly the kind of communicator we need here at Creekside Apartments. Her clear updates and friendly demeanor made the whole process a breeze. These guys are top-notch, and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Our overall experience at Creekside has been nothing but positive. We were very impressed by the way in which management handled a concern of ours, working quickly and patiently to find a solution that left us feeling appreciative. The apartments themselves are a great place to live as they are very quiet, have wide floor plans, and lots of storage. We loved having close access to parks, trails, and shops in the surrounding area which was also very convenient. We highly recommend these apartments!
