  So far I've had a great experience here. It's quiet peaceful and well kept. The staff is also very helpful always.

  Nice property. I like the pond with koi and turtles and the bird cage filled with finches.

  I want to start off by saying this is not a bad review. At times it might seem like I’m complaining. However my time at The Aspens was short, but well spent. The Aspens is an awesome place and has a lot to offer for many people. It’s got a coy pond. Swimming pools. Pool tables. Gym. Birds on display in a cage. And one of my most fond memories, friendly cats just walking around being cat-like. There are lots of things to love about The Aspens and if you decide to make this your home I’m sure you’ll be happy. All that being said. There are things that I wasn’t happy about and while no one issue on my list is a deal breaker. It just all kind of builds up and dampens the experience. The units themselves aren’t anything special. Just a standard 1970’s apartment with about 50 years worth of fresh paint. Infact. All that paint actually makes it mildly difficult to open cabinet doors and sometimes stuck to my dishes as they set inside the overly painted cabinets. Some of the mildly annoying things. One of the first things I noticed and was a massive area of stress for me was that wall-to-wall light beige carpet. In the year 2019 (when I moved in) laminate flooring is an affordable and more durable alternative to carpeting. I might have been able to live with the light beige carpet except that The Aspens have MANY plants that drop carpet staining berries and olives. Before we even moved in the bit of carpet next to the door had already been stained. There are other things that really got under my skin that I couldn't do anything about. Like the cabinets being misaligned with the sink. The plumbing in the bathtub is misaligned. I'm going to be posting photos of both of those. There was a small hole next to the dishwasher that allowed my cat to get stuck under the cabinets. After maintenance pulled out the washing machine and I went to reach for my cat I found an ample amount of trash under there from previous tenants. There are no washers and dryers inside the unit. They do have a laundry facility, but if you're like me and really desire a washer and dryer inside the unit you are not going to find that here. Perhaps one of the most annoying things was bugs. Literally every single morning as I walked out to my vehicle there would be at least one massive spider dangling from the trees. To say nothing of all the spiders that made a home out of my patio furniture. Perhaps my one and only biggest complaint against this place. The one that really soured my experience there. Is not even the fault of management. It's theft. Porch Pirates are real at The Aspens. I had so many packages stolen off my front porch that I lost count. If you do move here, learn how to have things delivered to an Amazon locker nearby. Also, keep NOTHING inside your vehicle. Three times someone broke into my vehicle with a Slim Jim and stole my stuff. luckily, I never heard anything of real value in there. Because of this, I never felt safe at The Aspens. As a result, I ended up running my A/C all the time because I was too scared to open the windows.

  I moved my elderly Dad to The Aspens in May 2018. I searched for a new place for him to move to in Riverside after he needed to move out from an apartment complex he had lived in for over 45 years. The owner of his apartment-turned-condo had been placed in assisted living and his son wanted to sell by a definite date at a set price (way too high for the condition of the unit or the run down complex). We could have bought another unit there but I could not stand the filthiness of the complex or the neglegent HOA. After a long search of many spaces throughout Riverside, I decided on The Aspens. I have never looked back. The management team are marvelous in every way. The apartments are spacious even with limited square footage. The walkways are curved, winding and unique. The grounds well-groomed and maintained weekly. The landscaping is lush and beautiful surrounded by mature trees throughout the entire environment making it feel like a mountain retreat rather than a bland and unimaginative apartment complex. The ponds, fish and fountains provide a magical and serene aesthetic. The clubhouse has a sitting room, workout space and pool table and is a throwback to the 50s. It is a warming and welcoming space to sit in for hours and meditate or read. The red brick fireplace alone is worth the visit. One wish I have is that the pool be heated in the winter months, but everything else about the entire environment is simply wonderful. Whenever there is a concern with our apartment or parking the management team is very responsive and act on whatever concern is communicated immediately (or within a day or so). Additionally, they have extremely reliable, respectful and trustworthy workers on their team. Overally, it is a stunning place to live. The Aspens was created by a mindful person, no doubt. It provides a residence that is calming, clean, quiet; a safe living environment that is respectfully shared by a number of cordial and kind neighbors.
