  I've lived happily in Celio Apartments for almost five years. I remember when we used to call this building the King Towers since it's on King Ave. I believe these apartments are among the cheapest in the West Hills. The building is run very efficiently. If something breaks it's usually fixed with 24 hours. This week the service elevator wasn't working on Saturday but by Sunday it was back up and running.. The building is up pretty high so most apartments have a nice view. The people living here, and I think there are about 220 of us, are of every age, size, color, shape, gender and place of origin that you can image. Yet we all get along well, opening the door for each other, holding the elevator, and doing clothes together in the laundry room. The management is excellent and the maintenace men have very very long experience with this building and can hande anything that comes up. I blew a circuit breaker once and when I called them they told me immediately to look behind the refrigerator for my power box. I would say this is an apartment building that works well for its inhabitants. As for me, I have nothing negative to report about Celio Apartments. It's been a great run. gene

  Commerce Properties sucks as much money out of you that they can with next to unhelpful leasing agents. Included mini fridges worse than hotel chains, cabinets that don't open all the way, closets designed by chimps at best. Do not give your money to these people. Wish I hadn't moved here.

  Pros: The staff, the service, the location, the view, the price, the tenants, the staff, the staff, the staff. It's a friendly place within walking distance of 4 great grocery stores, a host of restaurants, public transportation, and a vibrant nightlife. Cons: no screens in windows, no build in AC (but has heat), Laundry room instead of in unit laundry. The first two can be managed in consideration of what you save. The latter matters more to my family because my teens dirty up a fresh set of clothes daily.

  My experience? My experience was an absolute living nightmare... Management/Maintenance is uncooperative, unhelpful and downright crooked... Just look into Commerce Properties/King Tower Holdings and see that for yourselves. My advice is to avoid them, and all properties managed by these swindlers, at all costs.

  Celio Apartments is the place to be if you like dishonest management and waking up to the sound of a jackhammer on the roof. My first day moving in I could hardly use the elevator due to construction. I was given no warning about this. Why? Because Celio management gains their revenue from the Bait and Switch tactic. Only after signing my lease to my studio, I found out that the rooftop was closing and the entire building was being repiped. Some residents were able to get through the loud noises with their schedules, but for residents such as myself who work from home, it was an issue. There were consistent water shut offs and management wouldn’t provide other resources. There were multiple fires in the garden that were ignored, and lead levels in my water were 2 times higher than that of Flint, Michigan (I tested my water through Portland Water Bureau). Not telling their customers about all of this BEFORE signing a lease is illegal and they’re now forcing residents to sign an NDA just to get compensation. All in all, though the location and pricing is great, don’t live here, they don’t care about you. (Yes the repiping fixes the water levels, they still don't care about you though. Even if they fix these specific issues keep in mind that they had the audacity to treat their customers like this in the first place and there has been really no change in management.)
