I moved out of Sterling Oaks a month ago after living here for 3 years because I accepted a new job down south. This was a really nice complex to live. I had great neighbors and always felt very safe. I had good managers and fix-its in my apartmetn were taken care of fast. If I didn't leave the area I would still continue to choose to live at Sterling Oaks and didn't expereience anything like some of the negative reviewers here did. My managers were very fair at move out and I received most of my deposit back. The amount they did keep was for a little bit of painting and carpet cleaning but that was to be expected and justified. If I ever move back to Chico, I will want to live at Sterling Oaks again!
