McKenna Estates: I liked it.. (Recommending!)

2009-11-08T01:07:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have to admit, at first I hated McKenna and Eugene all together. 1 week exactly after moving into the apartment, my roommates car got broken into. All the thief took was her cds (a good majority of which were copies too, so I don't really see the point in ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: Eh (Not Recommending)

2009-06-05T13:32:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Parking is good if you can find a place. I fyou have a roommate, only one can park there. The walls are thin, if you have a noisey neighbor, then you are going to hear it all the time. Grounds are simple. They don't keep anything to be kept up, ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: Good and bad, but thats life (Recommending!)

2009-06-05T00:23:14-06:00

From haveasoda: After reading the qualifications for star level I see that I am actually giving a lower rating then I had expected to. First while people complain about the management they must realize it is a job and a business. Most property management companies are all about the profit and not ...

McKenna Estates: Just moved out (Recommending!)

2008-12-23T10:39:17-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I just moved out of mckenna and reluctantly so. I have graduated so I have to move back home and out of state to start my new life. My experience there was fabulous.

McKenna Estates: Good place, good people, good management (Recommending!)

2008-12-17T21:58:09-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I am amazed at some of the posts here. I can say that I moved here in 2006 and have been pleased with the place as well as the management, old and new. Compared to any of the neighboring apartments this one is the best. The current manager is a ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: Don't Move here! (Not Recommending)

2008-12-17T09:44:04-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Read the previous reviews. Everything bad you read.... Unfortunately it's all true. Lists and lists of the wrong they do. Not to mention the dog crap everywhere, the cats running all over. The sounds from drunks, the bad parking, the high fees, fines, deposits, etc. And don't ever put a ...

McKenna Estates: Terrible manager (Not Recommending)

2008-11-28T11:16:42-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The manager we had when I first moved in was wonderful. She was sweet and did a great job of keeping the complex a nice place to live--especially with noise management. The new manager is a bean-counter, which is why they hired her, but completely incompetent at running the apartments. ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: This place is not safe (Not Recommending)

2008-02-19T19:51:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I want to warn people about the lack of safety here. There are no lights in the parking lot, at least 2 (that I know of) cars have been broken into, there was a hit and run a few months ago that was left unresolved, one of our cars had ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: LOVING IT HERE (Recommending!)

2008-02-19T16:52:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: All I can say is that we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it here again. We LOVE the new manager who seems to know the laws and procedures here much more than any former manager that we've dealt with. She handles herself well and has made us feel very comfy in all ...

2008-01-13T15:43:11-06:00

McKenna Estates: The new managment is illigit (Not Recommending)

2008-01-04T01:08:54-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Let me start by saying that I really like living in this complex the apartments are huge and new looking, I know this because I spent last summer working hard to re-paint and fix a huge number of these units as a maintenance person, we really worked hard to give ...

McKenna Estates: Stay Away (Not Recommending)

2007-12-17T17:04:56-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I agree with all of the criticism of this complex. The parking policy is horrible. I wouldn't mind limiting the complex to one space per apartment if there was adequate overflow parking, but there isn't. You basically can't have guests. It was a huge hassle this weekend because my mother-in-law ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: Happy Here (Recommending!)

2007-12-17T14:17:33-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I can tell you that Im very happy here. I agree with the new parking policy as before there was never a parking space. And people who do have 2 cars would park under the carport and that would mean that I would not have a space to park. The ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: Don't Move Here! (Not Recommending)

2007-12-15T12:16:03-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I was really happy with this complex when I first moved here, but in the last several months it has gone on a serious decline. The parking used to be first come first serve. This was never a problem, as there was always enough parking. They then instituted a policy ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: What the heck (Recommending!)

2007-12-24T16:04:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I never knew I had such spiteful negative neighbors. People don't get fired for no reason. This seems to be a place to vent as I've seen from almost every apartment here. When I do decide to move I won't look here. ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: Dangerous (Not Recommending)

2007-12-23T02:02:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Not only is the overflow lot inadequate, it's dark and doesn't appear to be safe. I get off work late at night and there are usually suspicious looking characters hanging out. There are no lights in the lot and the complex is too cheap to pay for a patrol. Stay ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: Unethical... (Not Recommending)

2007-12-13T23:50:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We just moved here recently, and we selected McKenna Estates because of the on-site manager, Ellen. We were new to Eugene and had nothing else to go on, but she was warm, friendly, reassuring and made the transition much easier. She was obviously very eager to make improvements to the ...

2007-12-07T18:41:23-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Me and my family have lived here for 4 years. We will not be signing our lease again this year. We have gone through at least 5 different managers.

2007-12-06T15:35:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for over three years and have watched Certified Propery Management run it into the ground.

McKenna Estates: RUN AWAY!!!! RUN FAR AWAY!!!!! (Not Recommending)

2007-12-05T16:58:40-06:00

From certifiedpropertymanagementsuck@yahoo.com: Don't even look at these places! Certified Property Management is running this place into the ground. They have acted without good intention and just fired the manager (Ellen) without grounds. They have straight up lied about things and forged her signature. Seriously, folks, this management company just doesn't know what ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: The management company here does not know what they are doing!! (Not Recommending)

2007-12-03T15:20:29-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have been a resident at this apartment complex for almost 2 1/2 years, and I have watched it evolve from a place that used to strive to satisfy its residents into one that has increasingly proven to be only interested in cold, hard profits. The only saving grace has ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: On the decline... Stay Away (Not Recommending)

2007-11-16T13:10:59-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The comments made in the "Not a Long-Term Answer..." review could not be more accuarate. We have lived here long enough to see how badly this place is on the decline. When the current owner purchased this place, it was full. Within about three months, there were somewhere between 15 ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: Not a long term answer... (Not Recommending)

2007-10-28T18:57:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We have lived here for almost 5 years now and have suffered through multiple owner and manager changes. We are done. We will not be renewing our lease next year.

McKenna Estates: (Recommending!)

2007-02-08T12:48:25-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The managers seem to be pretty new at all of this... They are unprofessional when I talk to them, but I don't see any other problems with them beyond that. I do have to agree that it is really annoying to come home late at night and find no places ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: (Recommending!)

2006-12-14T19:31:44-06:00

From -Anonymous-: whom ever wrote this message is a Liar!!! Trish is so sweet. She is such a blessing. She helped me out in my need and got me moved. She stayed late and figured out how I can move.

McKenna Estates: Poor management and poor customer service (Not Recommending)

2006-11-28T19:58:15-06:00

From jogerlite2000: I've had a few opportunities to meet with Trish, the current manager, and every time she's rude, conniving, and routinely boasts about her past management experience. It's amazing if she does in fact have this past experience, because she is the rudest manager I've encountered thus far. After repeated attempts ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-08-19T03:32:38-06:00

From -Anonymous-: When I first moved into McKenna I was upset at the poor shape of my apartment.

McKenna Estates: Wouldn't Do it Again (Recommending!)

2006-03-21T18:32:54-06:00

From DissatisfiedRenter55: My partner and I were very excited to come to McKenna. The apartments were spacious and very well clean.

Then we met Paul and his wife...

McKenna Estates: pretty good place (Recommending!)

2006-03-08T00:59:04-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This is my second year living at McKenna. There have been some misunderstandings with the management and a couple inconveniences, but nothing too major or what you wouldn't expect from a college area place.

2006-02-23T00:39:24-06:00

2005-12-07T02:59:41-06:00

From whatshaken: When I first moved here I loved it...Yet then the rest of the college kids moved in. The apartments are incredibly loud, and poorly built.

McKenna Estates: Low Rating (Not Recommending)

2005-12-02T10:39:05-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here a couple years and the management changes constantly. Nothing is consistant about one manager to the next which makes it hard to follow the rules of the continued changing "administration". It's frustrating, as a tenant, to not know exactly who is the current manager and who you ... [click to read full apartment review]

McKenna Estates: Nightmare (Not Recommending)

2005-09-01T16:47:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: It's obviously one or the other with these reviews. Love it or hate it. I hate it, so does my roommate. Biggest problem is the management. Paul is a clueless kid.

2005-08-29T11:50:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I am sick of looking at my apartment building and seeing cob webs and dirt, which makes me think I live in a dive apartment complex.

From -Anonymous-: Want to get ripped off? Want your money taken from you? Want the run around with everything you ask for?

2003-09-13T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We lived at McKenna for a year, but moved to a bigger apartment. One thing we miss about McKenna is the thick walls, something lacking in many apartments.
