The worst place to live...Very dirty complex..trash bins always full and overflowing. Not worth the money..the pictures on the web site are false they should post how they really look. Very disappointed but glad to be out of there!!!!

I do not recommend moving here at all, unless you find nothing else in Riverside to rent. I lived here for around 1.5 years and it was frustrating. Rent is expensive and there is no consistency in how much they charge for security deposits and how much you get refunded when you move out - during my time here I had a flatmate who got his entire deposit back when he moved out, and since then they suddenly initiated a mandatory cleaning fee without any notice to us. Management is not consistent in their communications at all. Maintenance is slow because they literally have one guy for the entire property - he's great and helpful though. It's a gated complex but there is little to no security, the gates stay open for weeks/months with no likelihood of repairs. My car was broken into and despite there being security cameras on the property, management was unable to find the culprit. There are always random people skulking around the property at night and there is no sense of being secure. At one point last year they suddenly announced that they were going to re-paint the parking lots in the property on a certain day and threatened to tow residents' cars if they were not out of the lots by 8 am that day - which they did to multiple residents that day. It's absolutely ridiculous the way they treat tenants. I could go on about more incidents like this but it's possible my review might get removed soon. There used to be more reviews about this property on Google but they got removed somehow.
