My experience at El Norte Villas was not a good one. I am seriously skeptical of ANY of the positive reviews from 2020 forward. To prevent the review from being taken down for hearsay or opinion, I am going to type out a list of events… See More

My experience staying at El Norte Villas was a negative one: - There is seemingly no enforcement of their supposed non-smoking policy. It even looks like the parking lot has become an unofficial smoking zone. Be warned that you will smell cigarette smoke and see cigarette… See More

This place is by far the worst place I've lived in. The grounds are always dirty, with dog poop everywhere. The staff is only helpful when trying to lease the apartment and then they could care less about your needs or concerns. Do not expect to… See More

I live here now and if my lease wasn't up soon, I would stay! I love these apartments. Kitchen is great, plenty of storage. Bedrooms are decent sized, and parking is a little crowded, but that's understandable: you only get one assigned space and that's normal.… See More

Being in the military, I was looking for a low cost place to live until I got out. The staff convinced me to sign a 9 month lease, even though I wanted a 6 month lease, since the break lease fees would be minimal. Turns out… See More

This apartment complex looks great on the outside and is pretty well maintained inside, with the exception of the really old appliances they provide. The appliances barely function and are probably the ones that were put in when the apartment complex was built in the 80's.… See More
