It's called OVERLOOK for a reason, folks. You'd do well to OVERLOOK it and move right on to the next place.

The positive "It's so wonderful!" garbage that was written on this site was written by the management... no one in their right mind would stay here. Take 5 minutes and read through the other reviews that were written about this run-down compound, and then do the math.

Let's start with my middle-Eastern neighbor who beat his wife while engaging in violent sexual activities once every few days or so. Got to hear that junk as their bedroom backed up to mine, about weekly, until I moved out of that dump. I heard her body slammed against the wall and her loud screaming. Hubby started urinating on my car repeatedly (I'm not joking, people) in retaliation when he found out that I was the one who called the cops on him (gee...wonder who ratted me out'). What did the management do' Not a thing. They lost me and 2 other tenants over it, but the Wife Beater got to stay.

Moving on to the NOISE PROBLEM: good luck getting a night's sleep here and keeping any shred of sanity. Combine the white trash tenants who party until 3am and leave their beer cans all over, the hicks and their big trucks and muscle cars who peel out of the driveway as if they're "qualifying" for a race at all hours of the night with their stereos booming, the spoiled-brat frat-boy neighbors who punch holes into walls and doors when they don't get their way (next time close your drapes so we all don't see it), the paper-thin walls allowing you to hear every neighbor's marital activities, the teenage boys who go to the BBcourt at night to drink beer and skateboard and shout and scream at 1am, the yappy little dogs all over the neighborhood, the yowling cats that multiply faster than rabbits and catfight and caterwaul, and the nasty little 6-year-old boy who screeches at the TOP of his lungs at the basketball court for attention because mommy & daddy can't be bothered to discipline him, and you're in for one hell of a wild ride. Hope you've got some good, strong valium on your hands in large doses, along with a set of jet-engine-strength earplugs. You'll need it all.

Think 75 minutes is a reasonible response time for the so-called Palladin "security" patrol'! If it is, move in here, because that's how long it takes them to get off their butts and get to the apartment complex when called. I actually lost count of how many drunks the Folsom PD chased into our parking lot on Friday and Saturday nights. Yep, there is a drug problem here - neighbors at the end of Creekside Court got evicted for Marijuana and Coke usage. Only took half a frakin' year. Yawn.

Let's top it off with the LACK OF MAINTENANCE: wanna live with abandoned cars, TONS of wasps/bees/ants/spiders, dead plants, and kid toys littering your complex' How about a toilet that won't flush without a plunger, mold on the shower that bleach won't even kill, and painted walls that are the wrong color in the wrong spot that look like a 3-year-old on crack wielded the brush' If so, move right in. Do you like having to make a request to the bimbos in the management office 6, 7, or 8 times in a row, just to be told "Oh we never got your message"' Then you'll just love this rat-hole. Oh, and let's not forget the 2-foot-deep pond that accumulated in front of my door that I had to wade through to get into my apartment when it was raining. The illegal immigrant laborers couldn't fix it, and management was too cheap to get it fixed properly (big surprise).

Think this is all made-up' Think I'm just whining and sobbing' Then read the other reviews... and if you then move in here anyway, you deserve exactly what you get.

Beautifully written and oh so accurate!! I lived here several mos. ago and hated every day. Now that so many tenants are leaving due to the unlivable environment, they are going back to past tenants and claiming they are owed money. Any positive entries on this site, obviously have been imput by they obnoxious staff they have working here.
