Orenco Gardens: apartment is great but staff horrible (Recommending!)

2008-10-10T11:26:54-06:00

From drusilla131: Aside from Patty, who is wonderful, the staff really couldn't care less. If you have an issue the manager doesn't have any authority to do anything about it. She has to email (not call, email) someone, somewhere to get it done. Those people must take a lot of vacations because ... [click to read full apartment review]

Orenco Gardens: Give this place a look-see before making a decision! (Recommending!)

2008-06-10T02:37:22-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We decided on these apartments after carefully looking around at all of the surrounding communities. We have only one vehicle, so the proximity to the Max was an important factor in our decision-making. Other bonuses included that they accept pets of all sizes, and all of the living spaces were ...

Orenco Gardens: Overpriced for what you get, rude staff (Not Recommending)

2008-05-26T14:00:44-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Incredibly rude and unhelpful staff. I stopped by in April to take a tour after seeing their listing online and in several apartment magazines. First, the leasing agent quoted a price several hundred dollars a month more than what their ads stated, and she seemed irritated that someone was interested ...

2008-05-11T05:11:39-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I was threatened by the manager at this apartment complex!They are the rudest, most unprofessional people I have ever experienced! I was reading the blog from the last person and was not shocked at all!A simple "can I get some paper?" or being thrown out of the clubhouse is just ... [click to read full apartment review]

Orenco Gardens: Nice quiet place with wonderful staff (Recommending!)

2008-04-09T19:59:51-06:00

From -Anonymous-: First of all, I wish people would not use this site to expose their attitude problems, rather use it to give an honest depiction of their experiences and opinions about the property.

Orenco Gardens: Quiet place to live (Recommending!)

2008-04-06T18:56:01-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We moved here from out of town. Easy max acces was essential and a safe living environment too as I would be living here by myself for the first few months.

2007-12-18T16:16:30-06:00

From gt0561c: Generally a very nice location, very family friendly, easy walking distance to stores (Orenco), MAX (right out front) and playgrounds parks. Very quiet area.The management is VERY poor. Horrible customer service, poor response time to issues (took almost a week to get our washer fixed). Plus, when you move out, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Orenco Gardens: Are you kidding me? (Not Recommending)

2007-10-31T14:26:48-06:00

From -Anonymous-: When I am renting an apartment and I have a concern or a question I expect good customer service. I hope for great customer service, but good customer service is better than the dark haired woman (thats what everyone else is calling her)!!! When I call the office I hope ...

2007-10-29T12:24:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I rented sight-unseen as I was moving to the area on a job transfer and felt that this by far looked like the nicest place around.

From -Anonymous-: I arrived at Orenco Gardens on a weekend afternoon and couldn't seem to find anyone around. The office was open, but there wasn't anyone at the desks.

2007-04-27T23:28:32-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for a couple of months and I love it! Its funny to read these reviews. The Staff/Management changed hands a while back. It appears that some people are still hanging on to the past.
They have Starbucks coffee in the office and a Sony flat screen ... [click to read full apartment review]

Orenco Gardens: Cheap apts, convenient location to Orenco Station shops, brunch is a joke, MAX is great (Not Recommending)

2007-04-01T22:58:24-06:00

From tedward: We recently moved here in February. The apartment itself is spacious and appears nice. But look deeper. The toilets are cheap "Crane' brand which sprays all over the seat. You can tell they purchased cheap appliances and fixtures. The sink disposal is another crappy appliance. Is about 1/8th HP and ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: We thought we would like it here; the location is great and the apts are nice.

2007-03-07T21:35:54-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We moved in in November and regretfully signed a one year lease. The daily traffic to Portland is unbearable.

2006-11-05T11:45:11-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I decided not to rent at this complex when I decided that there was a better life down the road.
