The apartment staff is friendly enough, and the amenities are... there.
Ultimately they're nothing special, and certainly not enough to warrant the kind of rent you'll be paying, however.
The place must have been built in the 70's or earlier, judging by the architecture, but they're solid and reasonably clean.
You can pay your rent easily and online each month, and, as I recall, there is a 3 day grace period, just in case you get strapped for cash.
Why then do they only get 1 star from this
...reviewer?
You will not get your deposit back. Full stop.
It can't be done--of this I am convinced.
The deposit is something around $800--a fairly hefty chunk of change, and you'd like to see some of that back when you're ready to move on, wouldn't you?
Well, you won't see a penny of your money back from this place.
I was a good tenant.
Always paid my rent on time and kept things in good working order. I'm sure I made my mark on the place, but not more than the normal wear and tear you're supposed to be allowed as a renter.
I cleaned thoroughly before vacating the premises, up to and including renting deep carpet cleaning equipment and doing every room.
I'm not so naive as to think there should not have been any cleaning costs associated with my moving out, but there is no way they spent $800 cleaning up after me.
The property management company sent me an itemized list for the cleaning--which, come to think of it, was very difficult and confusing to read-- and somehow, it did total up to the amount of my deposit. But that means practically nothing, as I wasn't there to verify their cleaning efforts or to ensure that the companies being paid for the work were offering competitive pricing.
The housing market in Modesto is such that there are way more people than there are places to live, so I understand if, as was the case with me, you have to move into this complex because it's the only place with a vacancy. But I'm telling you now, either Saran wrap your apartment when you move in or just make your peace with the fact that you'll never see your security deposit again.
