Ridiculous Fees after you move out

Been living there one year and moved out. Location 2/5: OK, close to the bus station, but the apartment building is near I-5, can be very noisy when you open the window, very disturbing when you cannot sleep, plus the pollution from I5 vehicles. Iā€¦Ā See More >

    DO NOT RENT UNIT 513. Unless you enjoy listening to someone else's tv louder than a movie theater for hours every night, blasting music like they're in the club on the weekends, a complete and total disregard for anyone else living there, and being wokenā€¦Ā See More >

              Main complaint, the walls are ridiculously thin. I can hear every word my neighbor says in the adjacent bedroom. Footsteps from upstairs are so loud due to the hardwood. The construction quality is bottom-dollar. Other tenants don't care or are oblivious.ā€¦Ā See More >

                I definitely recommend these apartments, the staff was extremely friendly and always willing to fix problems immediately. They always brought packages up to my apartment if I was unable to get it during office hours, and they were very prompt with replying back to emails.ā€¦Ā See More >

                        This apartment complex holds a special place between my wife and I because of the facility and facility manager Amber. We moved into Illumina in the summer of 2011 via a recommendation from close friends living there. We were blown away from theā€¦Ā See More >
