Not a trusty property

This property has mold issues, the property will try to get you in trouble if you throw something away they donā€™t like. Other propertyā€™s have helped me dispose of similar items without blinking. They sent eviction letter without notice to my household. They will sendā€¦Ā See More >

    I moved in four days ago. This place is spotless! The carpets were freshly cleaned, they had provided soap and toilet paper and other tiny little things that mean so much when you are moving in! The office staff is very low key and superā€¦Ā See More >

      Black Lake Apt. are doing a great job!

      The new office staff is always available and courteous. Willing to go there extra mile. The maintenance team is quick on requests and genuinely helpful. Grounds are well kept, also several new dog waste cans available with bags!

            High rent for same problems you'd find at a cheaper apartment complex.

                        apartments have a lot of mold and the utilities are to high. There is one water meter at this complex for many many Tenants. Office personal changes a lot but the old timers are nice. It is close to freeway and shopping.
