Okay, I lived in Rollingwood Commons in the late 80s (that's about 20 years ago) and they where NEVER WELFARE APARTMENTS. They were called Rollingwood Apartments back when I lived there.

I lived in Madison Hills across the street first and when I got a little raise I moved into Rollingwood. They were $650 for a two bedroom 20 years ago and I was not on welfare. The office manager was a girl I went to Bella Vista with, so I waited for a two bedroom that had a lovely view of the greenbelt. I liked it. It was big and the rooms were spacious. The people there were not on welfare. That's not true. It is likely that they were section 8 back then, but I made a womping $1450 a month and I rented them with no help from any goverment subsidy. My parents have lived in the area since the early 60's. I liked them because of the location and spacious area of the complex itself. Don't know if they coverted them properly to condos (walls reinforced for sound issues) or if washer and dryers were installed, but the place was nice in the 80s when I lived there. Orangevale was hardly a "high crime" area in 1985. Folsom had not yet been developed. Just wanted to correct the issue about HAVING to be on welfare and that they were built for WELFARE people. That's crazy. They were built by a normal development compnany looking to make money.

Well alot changes in 25 years! I worked and lived there about 4 years ago and that place had cars broken into almost nightly!! I also loved the how many section 8 people sucked off the community. I was paying $900per mo. for a two bedroom. While entire families of Eastern Europes finest took up the 3 bds (which rented for $1200per mo.) paying $60.00 per mo. thanks to section 8, while driving brand new cars! No lie!! Wow, America sure needs more imigrants who dont pay taxes. Hopefully since they were converted to condos (what a joke), they kicked out the bloodsuckers. The property is beautiful, and hopefully only the people who work hard to afford it are the ones living there.
