Reviews from the web

Showing 7 highest rated

This is a nice place. There will always be issues, and it seems like negative feedback takes the spotlight, as opposed to the many of this community I’ve met that enjoy living here as I do. The new management and ownership is doing a fantastic job. The renovations look and feel great, and maintenance is on Pointe (heh) in completion of work requests. The price is good for a 2-bedroom. The rental market in Chico is simply not the best - can’t blame the property for that! Staff in general is responsive and friendly to all inquiries I’ve had. 5 stars!

I've lived here for 7 years. The old manager was better on rent and stuff like that. But it is a very good place to stay
