Showing 8 highest rated

My roommates and I have lived here since may 2021 and in that short time we have really come to appreciate the staff here. First Blake, who was a real champ, and now Lucas who has been the sweetest and most helpful person. Lucas is a really cool guy and has already shown he cares about the property. He checked in with us to make sure we were taken care of and just overall made it a great experience. You’re a chill dude Lucas and I hope you have a good day

I love it here at Hidden Valley. I've renewed for another year in a new apartment :) The management is great, helpful, and friendly. They are super close to campus and the bookstore, which is great for college students. They are reasonably priced and, if you need repairs, they are pretty prompt and quick about it. They are pet friendly, have several amenities (tanning, laundry on site), and it's really a great place to live.
