Very noisy, bad management
April 18, 2026 - Review from Apartments.comI really like our apartment because if the size. I'm in a wheelchair, so I appreciate the space. But as far as it's condition, one word, ugh. We've got leaks in the furnace room at least once a year (been here for 3 yrs). It leaked in there for 1 1/2 years before it was fixed the first time. The patio door, it leaks still, but the major leak, I'm talking buckets and towels along the door,, that took almost 2 years to get 'under control'. The kitchen and hallway floor, ugh. We've used up a whole ...roll of duct tape 'fixing it. Yes, management knows about this. We've had leaks from the upstairs tub, the laundry room next door, and the main plumbing in the hallway, flood our apartment 3 or 4 times in 3 years. The family above us sends their small children out to take garbage to the bin, and they never make it. There's always garbage everywhere in the parking lot. And they're never made to pick up after their 3 or 4 dogs, that also bark round the clock. So if you're looking for a peaceful home, please, keep looking, because it's not here.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

Avoid This Place at All Costs
March 20, 2026 - Review from Apartments.comI highly do not recommend living in this apartment complex. My experience here has been nothing short of horrible. For months, my apartment floor would constantly flood because of the washing machine in the unit next door. Instead of addressing the root issue, management allowed the problem to continue, leaving me to deal with repeated water damage and the stress that came with it. The communication from the office is absolutely horrendous. Messages go unanswered, issues get ignored, and when you ...do finally get a response, it’s vague, unhelpful, or dismissive. There’s zero urgency, zero accountability, and zero concern for residents’ quality of life. Save yourself the frustration—look elsewhere. This place is not worth the headache.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

NOT WORTH THE SPACE
July 11, 2022 - Review from Apartments.comYes, the apartments are very spacious & for a good price but let me tell you it is not worth it. If you value your necessities such as reliable plumbing & air conditioning, this place is definitely not for you. If you have an issue, you will be unable to get ahold of ANYONE. They make it impossible to get to management. You will talk with a representative on the phone that will then pass your issue to maintenance and then you will be lucky if they ever show up. If they do, the issue will just be ...temporarily fixed. The grounds are disgusting. If you have any pets, it's incredibly hard to take them outside without them eating trash, cigars, or even stepping on broken glass. There is no security measures at the entrance to buildings (a key, keypad, door code, anything). I can't recommend this place less.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded
July 17, 2022It is always our top priority that our residents live comfortably in our community and we sincerely apologize for the troubles you've experienced. It disappoints us to learn that you are unhappy as a resident and we request that you please contact us at elementatvalleytwest@tricapres.com when you have a chance. Your time is important and we hope to ensure a better experience moving forward.
look somewhere else.
June 9, 2022 - Review from Apartments.comI have lived here for two years and I recommend to anyone that will listen to please consider living somewhere else, on the surface it looks great but even the remodeled units are floppy, maintenance has always avoided my requests, I can NEVER have any luck getting someone to call me back from the office. Although it is under new management now they work out of the office and phone calls are filtered though another party that has no idea what complex we are calling from. I’m not a picky high ...maintenance person but even the bare minimum is a challenge to receive here, there are better options for the price range.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Have tried contacting with no luck
June 9, 2022 - Review from Apartments.comNo one answers phones or responds to emails. Went to office one day and the maintenance guy was the only person there he said no one ever comes in to work. Not sure what's going on here but save yourself the hassle.
Impossible to reach
May 7, 2022 - Review from Apartments.comOf all the emails I sent this past month for many questions/important info, not a single person from Tricap Residential Group has replied since April 19th. I submitted a maintenance issue that was resolved without any work actually being done on the apartment. The office is always locked and their number is impossible to reach (if they reply to this review with the same email as previous replies, it will conveniently have a typo) I will give a higher rating depending on how they reply to my ...countless attempts to contact them, including one email chain still in limbo after they towed my car in January during the holidays (the day after I asked if their scheduled towings included my car, to which they assured me it was not). If you want to live in an environment when each and every issue from critical to petty involves a months long struggle to communicate with any human being while they consistently remain deliberately evasive, then this is the apartment for you.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

Don't rent here
March 2, 2022 - Review from Apartments.comEvery time I call for the last three months I receive a different price, availablity and different answers to questions about the place. It is a call center and they have no idea about apartments! Someone is to call you back and it's been 3 months and no contact with actual property manager!Property Manager Responded

February 15, 2021 - Review from Apartments.comThese apartments feel more like a home rather than just a place to stay. The floor plans make you feel like you're in a house, not an apartment.

February 4, 2021 - Review from Apartments.comDeluxe apartments at a low rate. Good community. I was looking for a long term home instead of a temporary residence and I found it here.

December 9, 2020 - Review from Apartments.comThis complex has gone downhill since I moved in seven years ago. Too many problems to comment on. Im sad about it because this complex should be well maintained since it is in a prime location. My apartment is very nice but also deteriorating. Most repair done is the minimum they have to do.
