Review from the web

I lived here from 2015 January to mid of 2016. The apartments are nice and the whole lease process was easy. The maintenance crew was prompt in responding to request. All the stuffs were awesome; specially, Catherine Lucu, the Property Manager is always a smiling face and very very helpful. If you're thinking on moving to Chico, I would definitely recommend Redwood Cove Apartments. I left this place with zero complains.
