I’m writing this review and others to document my personal experiences and warn future renters of the type of experience they may encounter. Cobble Oaks Apartments in Gold River, CA (formerly owned by FPI, now managed by Asset Living) is a prime example of poor management, laziness, hazards and careless operations.
For context I applied on December 27, 2025, was approved in early January, and scheduled to move in on January 17. My initial introduction was positive through a leasing agent that moved during my moving process. (She was the last positive experience I had) During the chaperoned walkthrough on Jan 16, I flagged multiple issues (stained ceilings and carpet, iced-over fridge, loose dishwasher, poor repairs, dirt and grime and was promised they’d be fixed. Mind you, this was based upon a turned apartment ready for move in. When confronted about this (Sativa) Leasing management stated that they only had a few days to turn the apartment, despite the fact that this process has been ongoing for two weeks. Excuses were made citing, holidays and vacations.
On move-in day, the gate was locked and my code didn’t work. I only got in because another resident used their key fob. Leasing claimed they couldn’t help because they were “the only one in the office.” Despite only being a 20’ foot walk to a visible gate (door) that they could’ve used.
Despite this after Being pushed to improperly, sign paperwork with attitude, I accepted keys. I went into my new home with a few belongings and attempted to run a load of new dishes. Shocker the dishwasher fell completely out, flooding the floor and exposing foam and loose electrical wiring. Management dismissed this clear safety hazard as a routine maintenance issue.
When I cited California habitability laws, management became defensive and suggested refunding my money instead of fixing the problem stating that because of this, I was unwilling to work with them in a non-defensive manner… Sorry, If this is how they treat tenants before move-in, imagine being trapped here for 12 months. I walked away. Renters should too.

Initially had a great experience here but things have quickly gone down hill.
Two weeks ago my car was broken into. While I understand that the apartment complex is not at fault for such incidents, it’s something I’d like to bring awareness to. Immediately after I realized what had happened, I walked into the leasing office and let a guy who was in the office know what had happened and file a report. His version of filing a report was him simply writing my apartment number down on a piece of paper he already had on his desk and saying he was going to look into it. Two weeks later, I have not heard a single thing from anyone here.
While in the office the day of the break in, I mentioned the nightmare guest parking situation in front of the building I’m in and the buildings around. There have been multiple cars parked in the same guest parking spots for a month now, it had been two weeks at the time I reported it. I gave the same guy detailed information on the cars and their locations. Good luck ever trying to get a guest to park here. He assured me right after I walked out he would go address the situation. He also mentioned that vehicles can only be parked in guest parking for 72 hours before they need to register. 0 accountability. Nothing has happened and I have seen the office employees out walking around multiple times since.
The trash service you’re required to pay for is a joke. While I’m fully capable of taking my own trash out, I am stuck paying a fee for it so might as well use it. Multiple times it has been left out overnight and no one has come and gotten it.
Dog park is horrifying. No one cleans up after their animals. I took my dog there for a week right after I moved in until he got an infection through his paws due to the unsanitary conditions at that park.
You are overpaying for what they’re ’promising’ you. Seems to me, as long as they’re receiving your rent every month, everything else in the lease agreement doesn’t matter. If I could do it over again I would find somewhere else to live.
