Brookside Oaks: 10-year Resident: Best Place I've Lived (Recommending!)

2009-10-11T15:57:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've been reading the reviews. I can't speak to things like "rats on the first floor" since I live on the second floor. I've never seen any, even by the creek where I live.Regarding noise, I never hear freeway noise, but then I live by the creek, far from the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Brookside Oaks: These people lie!!!!!!!!!!!! (Not Recommending)

2009-10-06T22:34:07-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Make them write it down, they'll change prices on you. They will trick you. The first floor apartments have rats, and more rats, insects, there is no insalation. You'll have high utility bills. They don't pay for anything, they lie about it. Ask about the hidden charges, like insurance.Erica, the ... [click to read full apartment review]

2009-09-28T10:12:38-06:00

Brookside Oaks: Glad I Did My Research Beforehand (Not Recommending)

2009-07-13T13:00:43-06:00

From -Anonymous-: So, I decided I wanted to down size my living situation. I visited Brookside Oaks finding that the facility itself looks nice on the outside. I was not at all impressed with the inside. I was honestly surprised at how old the kitchen and the bathroom looked. Also, when I ... [click to read full apartment review]

Brookside Oaks: Lots of little annoyances (Not Recommending)

2009-05-31T20:53:43-06:00

From superchico: This place could be nice, but there a lot of little things that add up to a big thumbs down:- Highly overpriced ($1700 for a 1 bed? puh-leeze)- Very close to the freeway, so there is constant background noise. I can't sleep with my bedroom window open, unless I really ... [click to read full apartment review]

Brookside Oaks: Gr dy management (Not Recommending)

2008-08-26T11:26:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived there for a while, always paid my rent on time. All complexes where I lived before would always offer existing tenants 10% off compared to what they would charge new ones but not here. In this place the management has no loyalty to tenants whatsoever. Every time my ... [click to read full apartment review]

2008-06-03T00:48:12-06:00

From debjk: I've been here for 2 years. The 6 months of construction were a nightmare! The other resident had worse experiences than I did. Things were managed better when Leonard was here, but they keep taking him away. The things I like about this place are no credit to them. Nice ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-02-28T23:20:55-06:00

2005-08-17T15:33:58-06:00

2004-06-09T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for two years and I can tell you that you probably want to look somewhere else. The management is two-faced, acting very polite in person, but obviously not caring in the least about their tenants. (The manager Anna is particularly bad.)

The heating is terrible, there's no A/C, ... [click to read full apartment review]
