Resident 2012 - 2014

I lived here for 2 years, and overall I will say it is an awesome apartment, especially if you are attending UCR. Being right in front of the Unviersity Village, it was very convenient. The furniture was very modern and new in our unit (4 bed/bath), and it was nice to have a pool and fitness cener (although the treadmills were constantly broken down and was relatively small- I'd rather go to the UCR rec center if you can.) There are some issues I'd like to point out from my couple of years here, the worst being the maintenance of the gate and elevators in building A. The gate would constantly be breaking down, literally every other week at least. The elevator would break down from time to time, as well, which would be a hassle if you're in the fourth floor, and the first time this happened we had someone in a wheel chair coming up to our apartment.) It didn't get fixed until a couple days later. The gate seemed like a minor issue, but the fact that this apartment is a gated community means nothing if anyone can go through the gate. Also, the security guards weren't ever much of a help when I was there. My bike was stolen twice at the stairway's bike railings. You'd think this wouldn't happen at a gated community with a security guard during the night. Adding on to that, constant parties would go down, to the point where it was hard to sleep through. Its obvious this is bound to happen since the majority of the community is composed of college students, but not everyone is, and not everyone minds the noise. There'd be a lot of sketchy, and rather rude crowds coming in and out of that broken gate during parties... Other than that, it was a great lease. After the first year we even got a rental cut. After that second year management changed, so maybe it's gotten better, but that was just my experience.
