If I could give it a negative star review, I would. In the beginning of our lease, it was great besides the parking and damages that already came with the unit. I’m not one to complain about things, but if you think about renting from here, DON’T!!! They are so money-hungry that they will charge you for anything. If you think about having a pet, think again. I paid a $600 deposit just for my dog, and I pay $25 a month for pet rent. I don’t know how many times we’ve had a bug issue from the poor maintenance they have here. We would keep the apartment so clean but yet still found ants and other huge bugs. The garbage disposal stinks no matter what I do to try to get it to smell better; it always goes back to smell horrible. They talked about power washing the stairs, but they still look horrible, and if I’m paying that much for my pet to be here, I would assume they would create a safe environment for said pet. We took a walk, and luckily, I noticed it because my dog could step into wet paint. Another thing I hate is how the maintenance guys act… banging on your door at the ass crack of dawn like they are the feds. Not to mention if you pay for parking, just know the maintenance golf cart will be in your spot. You would assume if you pay about $ 1.3k-1.4k a month for a small one-bed and bathroom, they would keep the property nice and have the gate closed, but they don’t do anything. Not once have I seen the front gate work, and not once have I seen the property look great. don’t think about getting your deposit back it’s non existent. PLEASE DON’T RENT FROM THEM!!
Ive lived here about 3 months now, I shouldve walked away when they were difficult in the application process. Issues verifying my rental history (last apartment updated systems, but South Gate had my current address I was renting from when I applied) they offered "it's just an extra $200 deposit for first time renters" I wasn't okay with paying an extra fee since I wasn't a first time renter. Multiple phone calls requesting the refundable portion of the application fee back when suddenly they could verify the current rental history. I hoped that would have been the only bump in the road. Move in day, the baseboards were chipped/broken all around the apartment (I did take pictures and fill out the form about move in conditions so fingers crossed I'll get my deposit back). There was also an ant problem, they were coming in through the bedroom window. It took a couple days for maintenance to fix that. Last week caused more headaches, I received multiple emails about power washing breezeways and repainting stairwells. It should've been a nice upgrade, but what actually happened was they power washed the old paint off the railings only, leaving the old paint chips everywhere which weren't cleaned or anything else washed off in a week. Today I took my dog out to find puddles of paint poured into the grass near the dog waste trash can- so clearly a space it's obvious pets are walked- I finally emailed the office to see if there were any plans to clean the mess up. I was assured the paint chips would be cleaned tomorrow (I figure they'd still be there in a month if I hadn't reached out) but that the paint puddles "should be dry because of the sun" Seriously? I paid a $600 pet deposit and pay monthly pet rent, I do expect a clean and safe environment to walk said pet. Add in the rent is over $1000 a month for a one bedroom- you would think they'd want the property to look decent to back up those prices or at least would use that money to hire decent contractors. If management cared enough to check up on the work that was being done maybe they would've spotted these issues vs. waiting for a complaint. I'd look at every other option available in town before you look here.

Such a long over due review but honestly this place was by far the worst apartment complex I have ever lived in. I rented for 1 year and my lease couldn’t have ended sooner. I had non stop problems the entire time I was there. There were water leaks, mold, cockroaches and just bugs constantly, random people in the complex at all times because the gates NEVER worked the entire time living there. My neighbor had a man come up to her door POUNDING loud enough for me to hear downstairs in the middle of the night. The unit was disgusting from the day I moved in the people before me had animals and the smell was awful there was animal hair EVERY WHERE. It was painted over into the walls, inside the washer and dryer and embedded into the carpet. Anytime you took a shower and wanted to walk onto the carpet you’d have black hair all over your feet (which I was charged for to replace?? and did not get my deposit back when I moved out) Had multiple problems with the sink and disposal it would leak all the time.
My neighbor told me 2 couples lived there before me and that they both had leaks large enough to get moved into different units and I can only imagine that’s where the mold came from. There were cats everywhere around the complex that would come onto my patio and pee all over my outdoor chairs and on my plants. It smelt absolutely awful.
No one picked up after there animals there was constant dog poop outside my unit that guest would step in. My AC was out for over a week and all my clothes, blankets, sheets and couch were all damp and mildewed and they couldn’t find the problem.
So many more problems I could spend all day on this but highly do not recommend this place at all.

The apartments themselves are good and the maintenance was always quick. We’ve rented here twice now and both times didn’t receive our deposit back. The first time we were charged for them having to wipe out the microwave & a heavy carpet clean, & this time around we were charged $87 for a “heavy carpet clean”. We never had any pets, we have a toddler & had a newborn living in the apartment with us, but never allowed food in the kids rooms and we were hardly ever home due to lack of space. We never had any spills on the carpets. We used command strips only the first time we rented but since we didn’t get our deposit back the first time we used some nails & screws so that things weren’t falling off the wall. I’m confused as to why we even needed a heavy carpet clean but fighting with them is pointless because I find that they look for every excuse to keep money (even if it’s unfair). I would go into these apartments expecting for them to find every reason to keep your deposit. They just seem very money hungry, which doesn’t surprise me.
Had they not been so greedy, I’d give them 5 stars.

I have lived here for seven years. This property is well maintained with beautiful landscaping in my area. Maintenance issues are handled quickly, with Manny and Obed taking care to do a great job. Kristie, Ori, and Mae are always professional and friendly. There are monthly activities that involve residents, which makes it fun to live here!
